How to Get Encrypted Neural Circuits in The First Descendant

There are several resources in the First Descendant that can be used to make Descendants. Some resources are used to make two or more Descendants, so they are more popular than others. Encrypted Neural Circuit is one of them, and here’s how to get it in the First Descendant.

Where to plant encrypted neural circuits in The First Descendant

Encrypted neural circuits emerge in first offspring

Encrypted Neural Circuits can drop from multiple areas and monsters, but they are all concentrated in one location. You can find them in Echo Swamp on Normal difficulty. They can drop from monsters in the following quests:

  • Misty Swamp
  • Environmental pollution area
  • Abandoned Area
  • Arche Motion Sensor
  • Emerald Green
  • Emergency landing runway

When you hover over each mission, an “estimated game time” will be displayed. The quickest missions to complete are the Arche Motion Sensor or the Environmental Pollution Zone. Since you will be completing multiple missions to obtain these Encrypted Neural Circuits, you may wish to complete the quick missions multiple times.

Unlike other activities, you can run these missions non-stop. When you start playing the above missions, you will only get Encrypted Neural Circuits after completing the mission. You can check the mission summary after completing the mission to check if you got any Encrypted Neural Circuits. You should get about 3-5 on average.

What are encrypted neural circuits used for?

Valby material encrypted neural circuits in The First Descendant

Here are some research requests you can complete using encrypted neural circuits:

  • 32x – Valby Spiral Catalyst
  • 73x – Ultimate Rabbit Enhanced Cell

This research takes several hours to complete, so it’s best to start collecting materials first and research all of them in batches. For example, the Valby Helix Catalyst is only one of four materials required to unlock the new descendant Valby.

When farming these materials, you can switch to lower-level offspring so that you can at least level up one character while farming.
