These plants often grow in clusters of three to eight plants, making it easy for you to farm them in bulk. At night, the nearby biome glows, making them easier to spot.<\/p>\n<p><template id=\"also-read-articles-template\"><\/p>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s how to locate the farming spot:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1) Location 1<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure class=\"image\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sk-app-thumbnail\" alt=\"You can find the massive bioluminescent biome directly north of the Lifepod (Image via Unknown Worlds Entertainment || YouTube\/@SpookyFairy)\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2026\/05\/3d5b8-17788348230152-1920.jpg\"\/><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy-img\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-img=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2026\/05\/3d5b8-17788348230152-1920.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2026\/05\/3d5b8-17788348230152-1920.jpg?w=190 190w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2026\/05\/3d5b8-17788348230152-1920.jpg?w=720 720w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2026\/05\/3d5b8-17788348230152-1920.jpg?w=640 640w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2026\/05\/3d5b8-17788348230152-1920.jpg?w=1045 1045w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2026\/05\/3d5b8-17788348230152-1920.jpg?w=1200 1200w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2026\/05\/3d5b8-17788348230152-1920.jpg?w=1460 1460w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2026\/05\/3d5b8-17788348230152-1920.jpg?w=1600 1600w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2026\/05\/3d5b8-17788348230152-1920.jpg 1920w\" alt=\"You can find the massive bioluminescent biome directly north of the Lifepod (Image via Unknown Worlds Entertainment || YouTube\/@SpookyFairy)\" data-img-low=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2026\/05\/3d5b8-17788348230152-1920.jpg?w=640\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,&lt;svg%20xmlns=%22http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%201920%201080%22&gt;&lt;\/svg&gt;\"\/><figcaption>You can find the massive bioluminescent biome directly north of the Lifepod (Image via Unknown Worlds Entertainment || YouTube\/@SpookyFairy)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The closest Necrolei Cyst farming spot is located roughly 300 meters directly northwest of the Lifepod at a depth of 40 meters.
