What This Guide Will Do
Unlike my old guide specific to the electro pests, this guide will not create a specific path for you to tread, but will instead map out the locations where the specific enemies either CAN spawn or WILL spawn.

Also, this guide assumes you have already finished the main story. Enemy spawns tend to change as the story progresses, so I'm writing this as a post game cleanup.

Now I will say upfront I won't be bothering with enemies with low required kill counts.
So no GKs(not that you really need a guide for those you're practically tripping over them), just go to Intrados, or most of reactors for that matter. You'll get them before you know it, and in fact managing to finish the game without getting it, would actually be impressive.

I also won't be mentioning all the basic pest spawns. Because due to how the spawns skew, you'll get them long before you get the rest.

I hope this guide will prove helpful.

And don't forget: Have Fun.
Before We Begin Some Terminology
Now, because a LOT of the spawns we'll be using are essentially weighted random spawns. I'll be introducing a term to refer to those, along with just shorthand for the enemies I don't feel like typing out every time.

I'll be referring to them as follows:
  • Exor will be shortened to E-[variant letter]
  • Pests will be shortened to Ps-[Variant letter]
  • Peccaries will be shortened to Pc-[variant letter]
  • Spawns that can be anything Anteverse-II related will be referred to as A2

Now with that out of the way.
Let's begin.
Volatile Pests
I'm giving these buggers their own section because I'm not gonna bother with a detailed description of the best place to farm them. Because you're tripping over them so much there, that you shouldn't need a guide there.

Just go to the fungal reactor(you'll know which one i mean when you get there). You can get about a quarter give or take of your total per run.
Office Sector
Starting Area Cafeteria:

In the bathrooms you'll find a handful of Ps-As.

In the flow transit room there's 1 A2.

Going through the tutorial path, from the storage room to and including the kitchen, you'll several more Ps-As

The Plaza Or The Main Hub:

In server room 01, has a couple more Ps-As.

From Warren's station up the stairs and to your left, you'll find yet more Ps-As

Second Floor

From Reception head to the elevator room to find 1 A2.

Continue into bio lab D to find 2 A2s on either side of the aisle, and sometimes hidden around the corner on the far side, or inside the supply room.

On the end opposite the reception. There's a single Ps-A that spawns in either the supply room, or the room connecting labs with the pool.

In the pool you'll find a single A2, and a saboteur or an E-B(I am unsure if he replaced the E-B or if it alternates and i'm just unlucky)

Head back and take the long way around to the data farm you'll encounter 1 A2, and possibly 1 Ps-A that wandered from its ambush position in data farms

In data farms you'll find the aforementioned Ps-A along with a couple of others(due to the mystagogue that also spawns here, it is hard to give an exact number.), there's also an A2 near or in the small office building, and an E-B on the catwalk above.

Third Floor

From the elevator straight ahead on the bridge to Flathill there's a single E-B, followed by a Ps-A at the charging station.

Head back to the elevator take a right, a couple of Ps-As and a single A2(2 if one from the offices wanders too far) down the hallway the first 2 offices will contain an A2, the third one always an Ps-A.

Head right at the T-junction, and follow to the end on your left, right before entering physics lab D there'll be 2 A2s.
Far Garden
Just 2 E-Bs, can't miss 'em.
This Is Still A WIP
This guide is still a work in progress.

I have a lot of stuff going on right now, so I can't currently bring up the energy to write the entire thing all at once(much as I would want to), but I also don't wanna wait until the perfect time, which may never come.
So rather than procrastinating on it until then, I'm just gonna do it piece by piece, and publish as I go.

Expect updates to be spaced out quite a bit, If I find myself having more energy, I might push out more in a shorter timeframe.

If you're like me, you prefer these text based guides over a video where you can't search for what you're looking for.
Which is why I decided to make one of those, instead of YetAnotherYoutubeVideoThatMayNotEvenProvideYouWhatYou'reLookingFor.
But those take more time and energy so it's gonna be a while.
