Production


The Noctol is an Entity added by the Anomaly DLC that only appears during the Unnatural Darkness event.

Occurrence[edit]

Noctols attack during the Unnatural Darkness event until all Noctoliths are destroyed or the darkness disappears on its own.

Summary[edit]

Yield[edit]

A Noctol yields 3 bioferrite and 200W per day.

Analysis[edit]

Noctols spawn en-masse in dark areas around a Noctolith when it is attacked. While extremely fast and dangerous, they receive massive penalties of +15% pain, +200% melee cooldown, and -50% movement speed when exposed to light. Make sure you place torches, lamps, solar pinholes, and disruptor flares around noctoliths prior to attacking them.

Noctols are a good source of advanced anomaly research since they're easier to contain and much less dangerous than chimeras or devourers so long as they're kept in well lit areas. However, gorehulks generate just as much bioferrite and are more feeble in combat, so consider executing your noctols to replace them with gorehulks if you get the opportunity.

Trivia[edit]

  • The Noctol's name likely comes from the Latin word "noctis", meaning night.
