Weaknesses & counter tips

Worked out from its stats

  • Low health pool — vulnerable to burst damage; focus it down quickly.
  • Low torpor — easy to knock out; a few tranq hits will subdue it.

Onyc — Detailed Guide

The Onyc is a cave bat. Its bite can spread Mega Rabies, and it attacks in swarms in dark caves.

Where to find it

It hangs in caves on The Island, The Center, Ragnarok, Valguero, Extinction, Scorched Earth and Genesis Part 1 in both games, on Astraeos and Lost Colony in ASA, and on Crystal Isles, Fjordur and Lost Island in ASE.

Taming

A passive tame. Apply Bug Repellant before you approach, then hand-feed it. In ASE you need to be level 65 to feed it. See the taming calculator.

Breeding

  • Birth: a live birth, about 3 hours 58 minutes of gestation in ASE.
  • Growth: a baby matures in about 1.2 days at 1x.

Uses

A small cave companion.

Tips

Carry a Lesser Antidote into caves with bats, in case you catch Mega Rabies.
