ARK ASA Lost Colony: The Ultimate Guide to Farming Cursed Neopight Loot
This guide provides effective methods for farming cursed loot in ARK Survival Ascended Lost Colony, focusing on optimizing Neopight farming. It explains strategies including using traps, leveraging the Thylacoleo's bleed damage, and strategically using the Glowtail's glow to maximize damage. It also highlights the efficiency of using a wall of Glowtails and a Managarmr to quickly farm high-level Neopights.
1. ⚙️ Basic Preparation for Neopight Farming: Hostility and Time
- ✅ For Neopights to appear, you need at least 50 hostiles nearby. You can increase hostility by destroying city structures.
- ✅ Neopights only appear at night (8:00 PM).
- ✅ To trigger the appearance of a Neopight, you must fly towards the city, crossing the border that activates the "prey" state.

2. 🪤 Simple Trap Strategy to Capture Neopight
- ✅ Build a simple 2x2 trap with double doors near the city border.
- ✅ Lure the Neopight into the trap and close the doors.
- ⚠️ Neopights are difficult to kill directly due to their high damage reduction.

3. ⚔️ Using the Thylacoleo and Glowtail to Maximize Damage
- ✅ Use a Thylacoleo to inflict bleed damage (5% damage every 5 seconds).
- ✅ A Glowtail in laser mode can inflict significant additional damage, especially if placed on the player's shoulder. The damage scales with the Glowtail's melee attack.
| Element | Effect |
|---|---|
| Thylacoleo | Inflicts bleed (5% damage every 5 seconds) |
| Glowtail (on shoulder) | Laser damage scalable with melee attack |

4. 💰 Loot Collection and Increasing Neopight Level
- ✅ After killing the Neopight, collect its body to obtain cursed loot.
- ✅ To make the next Neopight appear, cross the city border again. The levels of the Neopights will increase with each appearance (50, 100, 150, up to a maximum of 300).
- ✅ Higher-level Neopights have a higher probability of dropping better quality loot.

5. 🔥 Advanced Strategy: Wall of Glowtails and Managarmr for Fast Farming
- ✅ Use a wall of Glowtails (with around 600 melee attack each) and a Managarmr.
- ✅ Do not overload the Glowtails, as this will prevent them from firing their lasers.
- ✅ Mount the Managarmr and lure the Neopight towards the Glowtails.
- ✅ Set the Glowtails to aggressive mode and watch them quickly eliminate the Neopight. The Managarmr can freeze the Neopight for added control.
- ✅ After killing the Neopight, exit and re-enter the area to make a new one appear quickly.
- ✅ Level 300 Neopights have a high probability of dropping ascendant loot.
