Tips & Strategies

What are tips for onyc? Tips and strategies for onyc in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
You can tame onyc on mobile you just need bug repellant and use soothing balm on them (if you have one) then feed it with raw meat and then wait until it's hungry again and then you have a onyc! Up this so new players can see this
This is a great guard tame get at least 5 or 6 and have them placed inside of a house and if someone breaks in they will kill the enemies very fast and very effectively
I WANT TO MAKE CLEAR THIS IS A PASIVE TAME THERE FOR YOU MUST SHOVE FOOD UP ITS BUT WITHOUT IT NOTICING YOU AKA TRAP IT AND USE BUG REPL AND GILLY GEAR THEN SHOVE THE BEST (MEAT) ON IT
Bug repellant is not a necessity, it can be replaced by crawling and using a ghillie suit. This works on all passive cave tames.
Mainly used in PvP to destroy player's armor, the Onyc is a guard animal. To maximize efectiveness upgrade health, damage, and speed.
First of all… these things are very violent.
These bats stop me from raiding my arch enemy’s base they killed all my dinos which included 13 Rexs and 7 of my tribe mates came with me and died extremely quickly.
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah batman!!!!!
On old mobile if you kill one in the snow cave then take its implant these things cost 10 amber to revive but unless you tame it instantly the moment after it spawns you will have to build a trap around the revival platform/obelisk or else it will fly away in all directions because unlike other flyers it has no sense of wandering close to the ground. You will also probably need a ghillie suit and bug repellant.
If you are on brutal mode however trying to revive a level 750 onyc will make it turn into a level 1 one
Two words:
Flame Thrower
Beware, they give you bat-aids (mega-raibies)
How to kill them:
1. Bring 200 arrows and a good crossbow
2. Shoot them
3. Run away
Their mega rabies is super mega annoying!
I go to center caves, 2 in redwoods and floating island are best. Full ghillie, bug repellant, sacrificial sheep, chainsaw, sleeping bags, preserving salt. Use wyvern wing flap your target to safe area make sure bat is just above character level. Kill that ovis with chainsaw! Place sleeping bag just in case.. Put taming mutton in inventory with half stack of salt. Rest of salt and mutton into wyvern. Ghillie up! Bug spray! Walk slow! Stand under feed, do not move. Stand there for 5 mins(might be shorter but dang its long) it goes faster after that first bite. Keep track of repellent back away slow and reapply if needed! Perfect tame every time!
You have to be level 65 or higher to tame, if you try to tame one while below level 65 it will say "Must Be Level 65 To Tame." They also cannot be fed when aggroed. If you are on ume or pc they have genders so they can breed and have the mate boost, but if you're on old ark mobile they have no gender so they cannot breed or have the mate boost.
Things to bring
1.) Bug repellant
2.) Flak/Chitin Armor (or higher)
3.) Spiked walls (wood or metal is fine)
4.) A handy ranged weapon (Rifle, SG, Fab. Pistol, AR, etc.)
5.) Narcotics (If ur looking into taming something)
6.) A durable pike (Doesn’t have to be apprentice or higher)
7.) Food and Water (duh)
8.) Tames that allow knock back (not needed btw)
9.) Your confidence to face these annoying fu-
If you have all of these then you’re set to explore the lava caves. And whatever you do, don’t fricken die.
(Im the person who submitted the tip starting with: This bat does the same amount of damage as the Carno 35 damage). To tame the bat, you must have bug repellent on to prevent the creature from attacking you. You must non-violently/passively tame it meaning you feed it by NOT KNOCKING IT OUT, the best food to use is raw prime meat.
I hope this is helpful because this creature is perfect for a bodyguard.
Tip: They do extra damage against armour and destroy it quickly making this tame useful for pvp.
