Genshin Impact: Scarab Locations

This article is over 2 years old and may contain outdated information.

Scarabs are a Local Specialty item for the Sumeru region in Genshin Impact, specifically in the Great Red Sand location. Scarabs are used as one of Cyno’s Ascension materials; with that in mind, if you don’t play him then you can safely ignore them. Nevertheless, it never hurts to grab some of these Scarabs along the way since you never know when you need them. To help you with that, here are all the locations of the Scarabs in Genshin Impact‘s Sumeru.

Genshin Impact – Scarab Locations in Sumeru

In total, you should be able to find 76 Scarabs across the Great Red Sand area: Land of Lower Setekh, Hypostle Desert, and Land of Upper Setekh — although some are hidden inside Sumeru Domains and Temples that are unlocked through World Quest. A number of players also added that it can take up to 72 hours or 3 days for the Scarabs to respawn. Don’t forget to check out Genshin Impact‘s official interactive map for more details of the Scarabs’ locations.

Below Hypostyle Desert and from NPC:

To unlock the underground area of Hypostle Desert and find more Scarabs, you’ll have to clear the “Golden Slumber” World Quest questline. There’s also a boy NPC named Nawaz in the Aaru Village that will give you Scarabs x4 free of charge; however, Nawaz will only show up during the daytime and will only give you the Scarabs once.
