Scarab Locations

Need Scarabs for character ascension in Genshin Impact? Discover the best farming spots, how to find these elusive beetles, and where to get free ones from Nawaz in Aaru Village.

Hey there, Traveler! So you're looking to snag some Scarabs in Genshin Impact, huh? These little guys are super important for leveling up characters, especially if you're aiming to hit that level 90 cap. You'll need a whopping 168 Scarabs per character, so it's definitely worth knowing where to find them!

How to Get Scarabs:

These tenacious beetles love to hide in the vast Sumeru desert. They're pretty good at blending in, so you'll need to be observant. If you get into a fight, they'll burrow underground, so you'll have to wait for things to calm down before they pop back up. Look for little balls of sand moving around – that's usually a Scarab on the move! Also, don't forget to check under ledges; sometimes they like to chill there.

Pro-tip: If you head over to Aaru Village and find Nawaz (he's usually chilling above the spring), he'll give you four Scarabs for free. It's a nice little boost to get you started!

Best Farming Location: Around the Mausoleum of King Deshret

This is where you'll find the most Scarabs in one go. However, there's a catch: you'll need to complete the 'Golden Slumber' world quest first. This quest is super important because it unlocks access to most of the underground areas where these Scarabs like to hang out. You can grab this quest from Bonifaz in Aaru Village.

Remember, these Scarabs are a moving resource. The map markers show general areas, but they do wander. If you're diligent, you can snag around 77 Scarabs in a single farming cycle. And the best part? This cycle resets every 48 real-world hours, giving you plenty of opportunities to farm them up.
