What are Scarabs?

Special Mobs that Drop Rare Items

Elden Ring - Scarab

Scarabs are special types of mobs that drop valuable items such as Ashes of War and Spells upon death. They look like dung beetles that push a glowing ball and will try to run away if you get close. Chase and defeat them by any means to acquire a rare item.

Crimson and Cerulean Teardrop Scarabs

Elden Ring - Crimson Teardrop Scarab

Teardrop Scarabs are a different kind that will not drop any item upon death. Instead, killing them will refill a charge of your Sacred Flask depending on the color of their glow.

Crimson Teardrop Scarabs will refill a charge of your Flask of Crimson Tears while Cerulean Teardrops Scarabs will refill your Flask of Cerulean Tears. Take note that Teardrops Scarabs can't refill more charges than the flasks' charge limit.
