WHERE & HOW TO FARM

Early container search

Mariana, Earth — Exterminate.

Mariana Exterminate is an early Earth route for Neurodes deposits. Search side rooms and prioritize visible Neuroptic Masses while clearing the mission; ordinary enemy drops are uncommon, so a targeted sweep is more useful than racing through the main corridor.

How to farm

Before you go

Unlock Mariana on Earth.
Bring a loadout that can finish the Exterminate objective.
Loot radar can help find nearby containers and deposits.

Launch Mariana and follow the Exterminate objective through the tileset.
Check side rooms and branches as you move between marked areas.
Look for Neuroptic Mass resource deposits and break them.
Collect each deposit’s drops before leaving the room.
Continue eliminating the required enemies so the mission can be completed.
Reach extraction and finish the mission to retain the resources.
Review your Neurodes inventory and repeat if the Foundry recipe still needs more.

Farming tips

Prioritize deposits over expecting ordinary enemies to supply the resource.
Loot radar can help find items in rooms you have already passed.

Repeat, collect and use

Repeatable as needed; deposits and drops are not guaranteed to provide a fixed quantity each run.

Common mistakes

Rushing through the main route without checking side rooms; sweep as you clear.
Assuming ordinary enemy kills are the best source; focus on deposits.
Leaving a deposit unbroken or its drops uncollected; inspect the room before moving on.

When to stop or switch

Stop when your planned Foundry recipe has enough Neurodes, or switch to another node if the search is producing little and a different goal is more urgent.
