The Golden Scarab is one of the useful talismans of Elden Ring. Why it is useful and how you can find it is explained in this guide on MeinMMO.
Talismans play an important role in Elden Ring. They have various effects and can enable tactics that ease even the toughest boss fights. Some also have passive effects that help in the long run. One such example is the Golden Scarab.
What kind of talisman is this? The effect of the talisman is simple, but particularly useful in the first playthrough and in the mid-part of the game. Because the Golden Scarab grants you extra runes for every kill as long as you have it equipped. This particularly helps you during the leveling phase.
It is located in Caelid, the southeastern area of the Lands Between. We show you the exact location and how to best get there.
Golden Scarab gives you 20% more runes – Here’s the location
Here’s how to get there: First of all, you need to go to Caelid. This is the southeastern region, unmistakable due to its red color.
- Start from the Site of Grace “Runes of Caelem” and move east.
- There you will eventually reach a gorge.
- You need to cross it at a specific point to reach the entrance of the cave.
- Use a clearly visible ledge and then use your horse Torrent to get over the tree roots to reach the entrance of the cave.
Here’s what it looks like in pictures:
The cave is very dark and full of waters that can inflict Scarlet Rot on you. So be careful where you step and have preserving boluses ready just in case. Summons and spells, or talismans that increase immunity can also be very helpful.
Apart from the rot, there are also enemies that can inflict poison on you. So be prepared for that as well.
Where can I find the talisman? You get it when you defeat the boss of the dungeon. It consists of two rot knights who are only slightly stronger than their “normal” counterparts.
The ideal item combo for farming runes – with a 50% bonus
Here’s how it works: According to Fextralife, you receive a 20% bonus from the talisman. You can further increase the effect of the increased rune yield with an item. In combination with the talisman, you get a decent boost.
The item “Golden Feather Talisman” provides an additional bonus of 30% for 3 minutes. So, in combination with the talisman, you will reach a total of 50%. To craft the “Golden Feather Talisman,” you need the following items:
- Missionary’s Cookbook [2] for the recipe
- 3x Rowa Fruit
- 1x Four-Toed Feather Talisman
- 1x Golden Firefly
Thanks to the extra runes, you can level up faster or have more budget for shopping trips with the merchants in Elden Ring.
