Quick Links
There are all kinds of different local specialties you can collect inGenshin Impact. These materials are super important because they are used to ascend characters, making them quite coveted. Local specialties are found all over the different regions in Teyvat, often in very specific environments.
Scarabs are notoriously tricky to find and collect because they are very sparsely scattered over a large area of the map that is generally barren; traversing the desert is already exhausting as is. Furthermore, these little creatures can blend in with the sand, and will even burrow under it sometimes.
There are some instances on the maps where asingle marker corresponds to two or more Scarab locations, whenever they are too close to be marked separately.
Scarabs In Khaj-Nisut
These Scarabs arenot located in Khaj-Nisut, but rather close to its gate,and they’re easy to pick up due to their proximity to the Teleport Waypoint that is located right at the entrance. All you need to do isfast-travel to that Waypoint andhead just slightly west, where there will be two rocks right beside the staircase, with one Scarab on each of them.
There will betwo Primal Constructs patrolling the nearby areaat the bottom of the staircase, so be careful not to set them off. If you do, the Scarabs will most likelybury themselves in the sand, and you will have to wait a while to be able to pick them up.
To find the next two,head further southwest, and follow the path behind the large, pointy rock. The Scarabs therewill beclose to a couple of Flaming Flowers.
Scarabs Behind Khaj-Nisut
This map showcasesan unnamed areabetween Khaj-Nisut and Aaru Village.
Fast travel to the Teleport Waypoint furthest southin this section of the map and head northeast toward the wind current you will see a few steps away. You do not need to ride the wind current; keep moving forward in that direction, and you will findtwo Scarabs under the big stone arch.
Then, keep forward on the same path where you found the previous two Scarabs andstart heading northeast along the edge of the rock formation. You will run into a Seelie Court as you stick to this path and the Scarab will be just a little further out, on a little rock that looks like a platformunderneath two big trees.
The last two Scarabs in this area are super easy to scoop up; all you need to do isfast-travel to the Teleport Waypoint north.They areright next to the Waypoint.
Scarabs In Aaru Village
There isjust one Scarabto be collected in Aaru Village. To find it, just travel to the Statue of the Seven andtake the path out of the village through the cave in the east.
Scarabs in Dar al-Shifa
There aretwo Scarabs in this area which are underground. To get there you will need to break the rock that is blocking access to a tunnel by the clandestine lab building.
you may break these rocks with aplunging attack from most melee characters.
Once you drop into this tunnel,the Scarabs inside the tunnel are right at the entrance, but they are hard to spot. The first is by the right wall, concealed in the dry grass next to the tent while the second one isa little further into the tunnel by another breakable wall.
If it is your first time, accessing this area willtrigger a cut scene.
