The Gold Scarab is a reward you obtain after defeating the two Cleanrot Knights inside the Abandoned Cave. The cave can be found south of the Deep Siofra Well Site of Grace in the Caelid region.

Abandoned Cave Walkthrough and Location

Abandoned Cave Guide

The Abandoned Cave features environments that are harmful or downright lethal while being a dark cave with enemies that can apply Scarlet Rot.

We highly recommend speedrunning it to avoid unnecessary damage for the dungeon's boss fight. Below are some tips to get through the dungeon the safest way.

1 Do not roll into swamps.
Rolling will cause the swamp's content to coat your entire body. This will make your character accumulate Scarlet Rot even if you're out of the swamp.
2 Bring Preserving Boluses to get rid of Scarlet Rot build up and Scarlet Rot itself in the event you are afflicted with it
3 Bring a Lantern or a Torch.
4 Be careful of the last ledge jump just before the boss room.
The jump needed for the last ledge before the boss room where its guarded by two shamans is deceptively tricky.

How to Use Gold Scarab

Equip to Gain More Runes

While having the Gold Scarab equipped as a Talisman, you will gain about 20% more Runes whenever you defeat an enemy. This makes it an excellent Talisman to have equipped while farming enemies to grind levels.

Swap Quickly Upon Defeating Bosses

You don't have to always have the Gold Scarab equipped when fighting a boss, since you will need every advantage you can get. However, if you are quick enough, you can swap to the Gold Scarab the moment the boss falls.

If done right, you will still benefit from the bonus Runes.
