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. Also, damaging a noctolith triggers an attack wave of noctols once per noctolith.

Summary[edit]

Yield[edit]

A Noctol yields 3 bioferrite per day and 200W of power when hooked up to an electroharvester.

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 points since they're easier to contain and much less dangerous than chimeras or devourers so long as they're kept in well lit areas.

Trivia[edit]

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