Weaknesses & counter tips

Worked out from its stats

  • High health but modest damage — outlast it or kite while chipping it down.

Neophyte — Detailed Guide

The Neophyte is a hunter of the Lost faction in ASA's Lost Colony. It does not spawn in the wild like normal creatures. Instead it hunts you down, patrols for the Lost King and goes after Aureliax Eggs. It cannot be tamed, ridden or bred.

Where to find it

It shows up on Lost Colony as a patrol and guard for the Lost King, and it is sent after Aureliax Eggs.

Tips

  • Tames: it takes greatly reduced damage from tamed creatures, so most of the work falls to you.
  • Exceptions: Gloon, Gigadesmodus and the Gnashed effect of a Thylacoleo still deal full damage.
  • Grab: it can grab players, so close range is risky. A small roofed metal trap plus a high-damage weapon such as an Ascendant shotgun is a common answer.
  • Loot: it drops Hide, Raw Meat and Neophyte Horns.
