FARMING & TACTICS:

To farm Animo Beacons solo, the best missions are Morax (Exterminate) and Abaddon (Capture) on Europa. As stated above, the number of Animo Beacons dropped depends on the level of the Ambulas boss. The enemy level on Abaddon is 21-23, while Moras is 23-25, so you are sure to get four beacons from each boss.

Generally, two Ambulas bosses will spawn per mission. The first tends to appear within 2 to 10 minutes after you arrive. The second one will spawn soon after you reach the extraction area. It may be possible that more will spawn if you wait longer. For the Capture mission, be sure to capture the target first, as no rewards will be granted if you fail the mission -- including the Animo Beacons!

The Inaros warframe is a tremendous asset here, because of its Devour, Dessicate, and Sandstorm abilities. Not only can you restore your health by using Dessicate (followed by a stealth attack) and Devour, but if you do die, there are usually plenty of enemies around to devour from the sarcophagus to restore yourself. For these reasons, the Capture mission on Abaddon is generally better for solo farming, as you won't run out of enemies to restore yourself with. Dessicate is also a great way to blind enemies so they won't attack for a while, giving you time to attack, achieve a stealth kill to increase health, or just run away. Note that the Ambulas cannot be blinded and will not cease its attack.

As soon as you hear the Amubulas drop ship is coming, maximize your health using Dessicate, Devour, or a health restore option in your Gear menu. As soon as you reach your maximum health, use Sandstorm to clear the area of all other enemies. This will allow you to focus on the Ambulas until more enemies respawn. A rapid-fire shotgun (such as the Boar) with blast mods works extremely well to take down the Ambulas boss quickly. Of course, shotguns do more damage the closer you are to the target. You can take down the Ambulas boss with only one or two magazines if you get close. Try to avoid killing the Ambulas on stairs or uneven terrain, as it will often die in a position that makes it impossible to get to the hack panel. If that happens. Wait until it comes back to life and blast away at it again.

Good luck!
