The EASIEST Way to Farm Neophytes | Ark Survival Ascended
This video shows the easiest way to farm Neophytes in Ark Survival Ascended using a trap and Glitches. The video explains how to build the trap, how to use the Glitches to kill the Neophytes, and how to exploit a glitch to increase damage.
1. 🛠️ Building the Neophyte Trap: Materials and Design
- ✅ Neophytes easily damage structures, so it is recommended to use metal for the trap.
- ✅ The preferred construction uses six metal foundations, six metal roofs, 16 metal walls, 12 half walls, a dinosaur gate, and a dinosaur gate frame.
- ✅ Build in a 2x3 format.
- ✅ Use regular doors at the bottom to be able to enter and exit, but the Neophyte cannot.
- ✅ The back of the trap is for the Glitches, caging them with half walls.
- ✅ Open the doors outwards to make it easier to close once the Neophyte is inside.

2. 🦖 Preparing the Glitches: Stats, Configuration, and Behavior Options
- ✅ Neophytes are resistant to dinosaur damage, with the exception of bleeding from creatures like Aila and the eye attack of the Glitches.
- ✅ Glitches are leveled up mainly in melee damage. It is not necessary to level them up in health, as they do not take much damage in the trap.
- ✅ Basic Glitches can be used, but to maximize farming, Glitches with mutations or simply more Glitches are recommended.
- ✅ They can be put in turret mode (recommended to prevent them from moving) or in aggressive mode.

- ✅ Loop around the gargoyle statue to make the Neophyte appear.
- ✅ The Neophyte appears above where you are in the city when the timer is reached or when you enter the city.
- ✅ It is important to know where it appears to get it into the trap correctly.

5. 🐛 Exploiting a Glitch: Constant Damage with Glitches in Passive Mode

- ✅ The Glitches look at the player's character and attack whatever is in front of him, even in passive mode.
- ✅ This glitch allows constant damage and is very effective for eliminating Neophytes.
