someone on whoa needs to test that

fading kraken
#

I might give it a try just for the heck of it.

hexed vapor
#

what super gas arrows?

queen briar
#

better gas arrows

#

its in the name

hexed vapor
#

i k

#

i was asking if you were talking bout the spear biuld or sup gas aarro

queen briar
#

super gas arrows

#

i aint throwing a lvl 9 spear for it to bounce into oblivion

hexed vapor
#

no lvl 7 spear

queen briar
#

well i have the twinkling shells for more but

#

thats still loss of quartzite which i dont have

#

i have more twinkling shells than quartzite

hexed vapor
#

r u on medium or woah?

#

and you can always save before throwing you rspear

queen briar
#

meduim

#

imagine saving before each scarab hunt

hexed vapor
#

but if it work?

fading kraken
#

I just noticed the super gas arrows do require splinter arrows to make. It is looking more positive.

queen briar
#

but yeah i reccomend saving before every hunt

hexed vapor
#

okay someone needs to explain why making splinter arrows is better than the crow ones

queen briar
#

i find crow feathers better

#

because they dont arc

#

just the price difference

hexed vapor
#

and why are splinter arrows better?

queen briar
#

damage overtime is basically the same as splinter arrow damage

queen briar
fading kraken
#

well the splinter arrows do more initial damage where the feathers have a dot. With the build I mentioned earlier the splinter arrows one shot where the feathers do not, but do have that dot.

kind ice
queen briar
#

6 arrows per stink bug is good

queen briar
#

they added more didnt they?

#

more shield bug spawns

hexed vapor
#

no

#

not yet

kind ice
# hexed vapor 9

As little as, you can only get 2 gas sacks per. It isn't always 3

fading kraken
#

Yeah that is true, but if get gets you enough shells to make that initial level 9 weapon.

queen briar
#

well i have 2 stacks of stink sacs

#

so like cool

kind ice
#

Splinter arrows do more damage upfront, but feather arrows do the same amount of total damage after the DoT:

hexed vapor
queen briar
hexed vapor
#

yea

queen briar
#

i got more super stinc sacs than regular gas sacs

kind ice
queen briar
#

cant be obtained anymore

hexed vapor
fading kraken
#

Can you even make a salty crossbow legitly? I use a level 9 mighty one.

hexed vapor
kind ice
hexed vapor
#

i enhanced the joke

kind ice
queen briar
#

you added salt and pepper to the joke

hexed vapor
#

i thought you could only upgrade on mighty

queen briar
#

pre hot and hazy shenanigans

kind ice
#

During the PTS for Hot and Hazy, you were allowed to upgrade ranged weapons like bows and crossbows with candy. They removed it when HnH released and replaced it with arrows instead

#

I have both a salty crossbow and a spicy insect bow

queen briar
#

this sounds like a flex

#

well soon enough i got something else to flex

kind ice
#

Yeah this thread is basically one flex-orama for you though, let me have my 5 minutes of looking cool 😏

queen briar
#

ok

hexed vapor
queen briar
#

i am honestly trying to figure out the way to kill scarabs on whoa tho

hexed vapor
#

oh maybe dazzling reposte coild be the answer

#

it will be hard to pull of tho

queen briar
#

you cant perfect block scarabs

#

imagine

hexed vapor
#

nut you can perfect block other creatures

queen briar
#

CONSISTENCY

hexed vapor
#

and then attac the scarabs?

queen briar
#

and it will scare scarabs away

#

never have any hostile enemies near scarabs

hexed vapor
#

well we will have to see how long dazzling reposte lasts

#

i think it lasts until you hit

queen briar
#

well if thats the case

#

it only effects melee

#

just use 1 brood mother club charge hit

#

even then isnt how dazzling repost works is that enemies get a debuff instead of you?

hexed vapor
#

did you try it out?

queen briar
#

idk i am not a sweat that uses koi armor

hexed vapor
#

Yet

queen briar
#

also that makes you lose out on feather cap

hexed vapor
#

well someones gotta try it

hexed vapor
queen briar
#

huh who knows

hexed vapor
#

Doesn't boost damage at all, it reduces enemy defence

#

ohhh

queen briar
#

you cant perfect block scarabs

kind ice
#

Tbh if it did work, it's not something you could effectively plan and do for every scarab. It would be pure luck to not only find a scarab in melee distance but then parry some other enemy and be able to hit the scarab in the window of time needed

hexed vapor
#

Useless against ants and mites, but absolutely perfect for anything like a broodmother or a roly

queen briar
#

eye patch + ???

#

does that work?

kind ice
queen briar
#

idk

#

i assumed we are talking about melee

#

cuz of dazzling riposte

hexed vapor
#

ok someone need to make a thread where all the ideas that have to be tested are listed

queen briar
#

huh ok

#

im gonna call it Scarab Discussion

hexed vapor
#

no one shot scarab kill ideas

queen briar
#

also used so we dont have massive convos about if it works

fading kraken
#

@queen briarwhat is your preferred method of hunting them?

queen briar
#

USE THIS IF THE IDEA ACTUALLY WORKS

queen briar
#

current scarab spawn map

fading kraken
#

So is that thread going to include ways which require a level 9 weapon or no?

queen briar
#

This thread is for if the method of scarab killing works

fading kraken
#

got it

hexed vapor
queen briar
#

#Scarab Hunting discussion

fading kraken
#

I just found the way to reliably kill a scarab on whoa mode with a level 7 crossbow! I have tested this 6 time now. So with a level 7 crossbow, marksman's cap, sharpshooter 3, and super gas arrows. Is all you need for a 100% chance for a hit shot kill. The catch is, it has to be a hit. If you miss the scarab will run out of the gas before it dies. @queen briar@hexed vapor

queen briar
#

as i said gas arrow good

hexed vapor
#

yaa

#

sweet

queen briar
#

but atleast i know it works on whoa

fading kraken
#

Yeah and you die fast if you are not careful 🙂

queen briar
fading kraken
#

So which one is for confirmed killing methods ?

queen briar
#

well Crow cross bow, Crow cap works

#

lvl 8 termite axe charge hit works

#

lvl 7 brood mother club charge hit works

#

Venom arrows with brood mother helm works and crow crossbow works

#

these works

fading kraken
queen briar
#

hunting discussions is whether you want to talk about methods that work and theorising

#

The stuff i said works so its put here

fading kraken
#

got it

queen briar
#

or even just want to talk about scarabs in general

fading kraken
#

I am kind of leaning towards changing my preferred method of killing scarabs on whoa now. Since this new way does not require liquid rage, and you get a splinter arrow back. Plus one sack makes 3 arrows.

queen briar
#

nice

fading kraken
#

Wow it even works with a level 7 insect bow. Now I feel bad for any earlier complaints I had.

kind ice
#

Did you have marksman cap on or any buffs?

queen briar
#

I knew super gas arrows were the right choice

fading kraken
#

That has all the info on buffs

queen briar
#

Yo this scarab hunting discussion thread doesn’t work lol

fading kraken
#

Yeah this is nuts. Though I should have mentioned with a insect bow. The scarab will run but the dot will kill it.

queen briar
#

But we’ll I prefer Accuracy than fire rate

#

Just play to your strengths

#

Especially with how Splinter arrows arc

fading kraken
#

Yeah idk if the super gas arrow arc or not since you require splinter arrows to make them.

queen briar
#

Yep

#

Any more comments I need to start using the scarab hunting discussion thread

half wigeon
#

I'm back.
Oh? Super gas arrows?
Ok I'll try it

fading kraken
#

Further testing on whoa mode has shown with a level 9 crossbow. The marksman's cap is not even needed if you have sharpshooter 3 active. The scarab does run after being hit but dies to the dot.

fading kraken
#

I will post this in #936963128502128720 as well. I just noticed the sharpshooter mutation was changed, it no longer adds damage. So killing scarabs on whoa requires either a level 7 crossbow with the marksman cap, and super gas arrows. Or if you have a level 9 crossbow you only really need super gas arrows. Alternatively if you have a level 9 crossbow you can use liquid rage with the marksman's cap, and splinter arrows. You can use feather arrows if you want and the scarab will run but die to the dot damage.

tawny moon
#

I use a insect bow. So how can I kill one?

fading kraken
#

Well if it is a level 7 insect bow and if you are using super gas arrows. You need to have a direct hit, and the scarab will run but die to the dot on whoa mode.

tawny moon
#

Nice. Because yes I play on Whoa.

fading kraken
#

make sure you have the marksman's cap on.

tawny moon
#

Okey. Thank you.

fading kraken
#

After further testing I found it's not a 100% chance to kill a scarab on whoa. When just using a level 7 insect bow, marksman's cap and super gas arrows. There is a chance the scarab will burrow before being killed by the dot. I would recommend the crossbow to have that 100% chance or you could use liquid rage if you wanted to stick with the insect bow. Though after you are able to upgrade your bow this is a none issue. @tawny moon

half wigeon
#

lvl 8 crossbow (mighty) with marksman's cap, bow mutation and super gas arrows is 100% kill on hit so far for me

tawny moon
fading kraken
#

sry to hear yeah I was trying to get that info to you before something like that happened.

tawny moon
#

Wait, do I need the burgl chip in the termite cave to get the jeweled globs?

fading kraken
#

yes

tawny moon
#

Oh, well I'm fucked.

#

The termites are too hard on whoa.

#

Well I won't be able to even make the jewels until they nerf the termites. Ugh. All for nothing.

fading kraken
#

@tawny moonIt is possible to run past them all and pick up the chip without fighting.

tawny moon
#

It is?

fading kraken
#

yep there are videos on which path the take

tawny moon
#

Links? Because the general consensus is that they aren't that tough. But to us they are indeed terrible.

#

I actually found a way in myself. I died though but I did pick it up. Just didn't save.

half wigeon
# tawny moon The termites are too hard on whoa.

I lured each termite that I found out to the tarp and cheese utilized the tarp boundary (termites inside the nest don't go onto the tarp) with crossbow/arrows to clear the way to the main hall of the nest.

proven flume
#

I got my first one

#

Venom does work

queen briar
#

nice

half wigeon
proven flume
#

So ridiculous, who's got all day hunt for this things

faint socket
#

what about lure traps

#

anyone tried that

fading kraken
#

sadly they don't work for scarabs.

queen briar
kind ice
#

Just watched a scarab walking into a spike trap for about a minute with no damage at all, so I'm pretty certain they have no effect on them (similar to bees who can literally sleep on top of spike traps)

fading kraken
#

Seems like the same for gas arrows, if you do not directly hits them. Then gas seems not to hurt them at all.

crude vale
#

Seems they've picked up our cheesing habits for killing bugs and made them a challenge.

queen briar
#

so spike strips have no effect on scarabs...

#

welp what did I even expect honestly

unborn dove
#

The way I’m killing scarabs is to shoot them with an incest bow/splinter arrow then instantly pop a shinobi sneeze and shoot them again.

queen briar
#

Ah yes the incest bow

unborn dove
#

Oh wait I forgor

#

I meant crossbow

crude vale
#

Ugh. How do I kill the termite mound scarab? It gets spooked 100% of the time by those damn termites and scurries off.

unborn dove
#

Maybe just make a save when you see the scarab. That way if it runs away you can reload the save and try again.

crude vale
#

Tried that. It consistently runs away due to termites spooking it.

proven flume
#

It's so ridiculous, who's got all day

#

To hunt them

queen briar
#

I reccomend waiting until the scarab runs out of the termite nest

#

Then hit it with a good shot as it runs in a straight line towards the bike

#

Don't push upwards into the nest unless you are competent enough to shoot a scarab while moving

#

A patient hunter is a rewarded hunter!

fading kraken
crude vale
#

Still on the fence with upgrading my crossbow to level 9. I hear I'll still need the marksman's cap to OHKO a scarab on Medium.

crude vale
#

Crow feather works on one shot, or will it be DoT that kills it?

fading kraken
#

@crude vale Crow feather arrows on medium with marksman's cap and a level 7 crossbow or higher will one shot scarabs.

crude vale
#

Ik

#

(Actually, I've been using splinter arrows >.> RIP)

hexed vapor
#

Splatbursts are effective but expensive

#

Make sure to save before you throw them though

#

Don't want to waste any

radiant solstice
#

What's the damage comparison between the feather arrows and the splinter arrows

crude vale
#

Feather has DoT and is lighter, Splinter does more raw damage instantly, but has a noticable arc.

half wigeon
#

Same total damage

hexed vapor
#

Woah mode players can one poison arrow kill a scarab?

queen briar
#

Nope

#

Well maybe

#

What I do know is that the scarab despawn too quickly for poison to be effective

#

It's effective on medium and mild mode

#

But people use Super gas arrows on whoa

half wigeon
hexed vapor
#

Ahh ok thx

clever sapphire
#

btw dont forgett it, save befor u kill the scarab and reload til u get 4x parts,

#

or 5x

half wigeon
#

save/reload does not work for me as the creature location changes upon reload

fading kraken
#

I have experienced the same. Scarab is not in the same location on reload.

hexed vapor
#

Those loading screens are long

mystic wigeon
#

ig creature location resets when reloading

queen briar
#

I still recommend saving even tho the creature may reset. If you lose a hunt to some utter nonsense such as ladybird larvae it’s good to have a second chance

#

Or you can just take it like a man and accept the loss

fiery sail
#

I always accept the loss... And then cry for like an hour

unborn dove
#

If you see a scarab and aren’t prepared you could just reset bug spawns to prevent the scarab from despawning. This works way better in single player because when you pause, it pauses the world.

Found out tonight there's a backpack with 5 Twinkling shells in it. https://youtu.be/vOsWSjaVDMk

clever sapphire
#

use the resource scanner, go to the point where the scarab "was" use reset bug spawn and it spawn back where he was scanned

half wigeon
quaint pecan
queen briar
#

hmm it seems the new update changed scarab AI a bit...

#

they seem to get stuck a bit more often and is it me or they stop a bit then look around before moving?

#

also do they move slower?

queen briar
#

yes scarabs now occasionally stop

#

I don't know why

#

so probably a perfect time to shoot em

#

seems randomised when scarabs stop

#

but it could be if they collide with something

half wigeon
#

I have to conclude it was added after they saw the many comments about how difficult it is to hunt them.

crude vale
#

Kind of a cheap copout for players who are bad at hunting scarabs. Now they get a free scanner handout instead of experiencing the thrill of the hunt. Still, it's likely if they're bad at hunting them, those 5 shells will be all they'll ever get. I dunno, coming from Runescape, handouts are kinda iffy with me. I think it's better to experience it in a way that will encourage getting better.

clever sapphire
#

everyone had at the beginning massiv problems to find/hunt them. due the time u learn it, i farm the very easy and quick now. even i knew the free 5 shells from yesterday

#

but still its a nice thing to give them for free for the first lvl 8 upgrade

#

btw as i said, about the fix bug location, go to the point where the scarab marked on the scanner, use it and it respawn at the point, i did it now and he appears in front of me

crude vale
#

What if the shell amount was lowered to 1? Free scanner target, but encourages hunting them for their level 8.

clever sapphire
#

why would u make it harder? if it would be a "boss" or a "elite" monster to grind/farm it, i would understand it but its just a !$#+ scarab that is mostly buggy, flying around with a godlike speed and is never on their "located" spot. sometimes u random meet it and the next second its gone, burried away

crude vale
#

Because things shouldn't be handed out that easily.

clever sapphire
#

that game is way harder than before, new players already struggle that hard in the early lol

crude vale
#

They learn. We were all new once. And the upper yard is for when they do.

clever sapphire
#

whatever its just 5 scale lol

By looking at this image, I estimate that the emoji for the scarab will be wayyyy cuter than all of them

queen briar
#

Scarab emoji?

#

Awesome

queen briar
#

I got another scarab hunting tip

#

If you ever lose track of a scarab... Use photo mode to scout around you to fins where the scarab went

#

helps quite a lot when the scarab is in a tight space that's filled with enemies

#

Use this and lie in wait on where the scarab will go onto next.

#

(I highly recommend using photo mode when you encounter enemies while the scarab is right in front of you. Gives you time to plan for a strategical play)

gusty granite
#

I was going to say ||use console commands|| but that would get me kicked/banned

shell bane
hexed vapor
#

Has anyone tried using splatbursts?

#

On scarabs?

#

Especially on whoa

half wigeon
#

i think that would be very difficult to pull off

queen briar
#

Splatbursts 1 shot scarabs

#

Just confirmed!

fading kraken
#

How challenging is this. Seems like the throwing arc could be hard to judge.

queen briar
#

the explosion radius is relatively large

#

Practice by throwing rocks

#

But remember that bombs are Inconsistent and can even kill you

fading kraken
#

Did you toss it as it was running towards or away from you?

queen briar
#

it was running away from me

fading kraken
#

Cool, thanks!

hexed vapor
#

Unarchived, you're welcome

queen briar
#

Yo!!!

queen briar
#

Scarab map

#

Note: the target is where scarabs like to hang out/pass through. The dandelion and meat symbol is my scarab hunting lodge

hexed vapor
#

On medium is level 7 Xbow and feather arrows enough to one shot

steady pawn
#

It might be i skipped straight to lv 8 thanks to the backpack of shells. Stacking liquid rage should ensure the kill.

hexed vapor
#

Damn it

#

It isnt

#

I'll have to get marksman cap then

queen briar
#

If you are on whoa Super gas arrows, Liquid rage, marksman cap and a lvl 9 cross bow should work

cobalt harbor
queen briar
#

Well what ever for a guarantee kill

cobalt harbor
#

cant agrue with that

steady pawn
#

@hexed vapor theres a map here for the scarab spawns i just pinned it

hexed vapor
#

I use splinter arrows

kind ice
#

Ok

steady pawn
queen briar
#

Well feel free to ask me for any Scarab Hunting tips

tardy wyvern
#

Hey, Bob so I'm playing on woah mode, is there anyway at all to one shot scarabs?

#

I'm using splinter arrows, a level 8 crossbow, feather hat and liquid rage and they still don't die instantly

queen briar
crude vale
#

If only the gas followed where the arrow stuck. Would make it a lot easier.

crude vale
#

So, Medium Mode, level 7 Crow Crossbow, and Crow Feather Arrows with Marksman's Cap. Will it one-shot?

#

(Honestly, minimum requirements to one-shot on each difficulty should be a pinned comment.)

steady pawn
#

While splinter works i prefer feather for the straighter farther range

crude vale
#

So it will one-shot, or does the bleed damage kill it?

steady pawn
#

On medium and all that i think the bleed will do the kill but its one arrow shot so tachnically can be considered a one shot.

#

I took the shortcut and used the free shells to skip to lv 8

crude vale
#

I have 20, myself. Need to use them up. Need...320 quartzite shards.

queen briar
#

Yes I'm pretty sure it will 1 shot on Meduim

#

As long as you have that crow feather hat on

#

But somehow throwing a bratbursts / splat burst at a scarab is very effective

#

I gotta check Burr bombs effectiveness next update

crude vale
#

If they were like mines and not bombs you had to set off, they might have some use.

steady pawn
#

I mean they still have decent use being bombs one triggers

crude vale
#

And I'm guessing tripwire bombs don't have a use for that either, huh? Delayed explosion.

steady pawn
#

It all relies on preparation and proper planning.

queen briar
#

There are some places scarabs do go that are dead ends in the trenches

#

An example would be the little spider nest. A tripwire trap there maybe could kill a scarab

crude vale
#

Ugh...the collision in this game can be bad at times. Clear shot at a scarab and grass blocks it.

#

And then there are the times where it clearly shouldn't notice you...but it does.

#

Then the point-blank shots that miss...wow, how does anyone do this and not go insane?

hexed vapor
#

Wsg lads

crude vale
#

Fug, how rare is the 5 shell roll? I've reloaded about 20 times and the most I've gotten is 4!

queen briar
#

I've only gooten the 5 shell drop twice in all of my scarab kills

#

But yes patience is a virtue and if you hear the scarabs walking sound I reccomend run in the opposite direction. If you can hear it, the scarab can almost see you

steady pawn
#

The turn and run has saved so many losses

queen briar
#

Yep turn and run was a life saver whenever I try to hit scarabs with melee

crude vale
#

Main problem I'm having is the environment. I can shoot point-blank and the arrows hit the environment, even with a clear shot.

steady pawn
#

What pov

crude vale
#

I got 9 shells that trip...better than nothing, I suppose.

#

Third-person. I refuse to play in First-person.

steady pawn
#

Remember third has the off center aim so you need the target left of the crosshair

crude vale
#

Weird.

steady pawn
#

Not too much over but it is off

queen briar
#

SCarabs have a hp buff

#

to 1 shot i used a Splinter arrow with lvl 9 cross bow and marksman cap

crude vale
#

Does it have to be level 9?

queen briar
#

ye

#

with feather arrows it dont even 1 shot

crude vale
#

Damn, how do we even kill them before that?

#

We need 15 shells (10 with the freebie) just to get a crossbow to 9.

#

Forced to use Super Gas Arrows?

steady pawn
#

In 0.12 on medium feather arrow and feather cap and lv 8 xbow has been enough for a one shot.

queen briar
#

feather cap doesnt buff damage anymore

#

its bonus crit

steady pawn
#

Why i mentioned 0.12

queen briar
#

perhaps the stylish feather hat does damage

crude vale
#

I wonder why the marksman's cap was changed? It was essential to scarab hunting.

steady pawn
#

Still can stack liquid rage and ox burger

crude vale
#

What's the ox burger do for you?

queen briar
#

marksman caps stylish perk is bow damage

#

so yeh

crude vale
#

So we have to upgrade the hat to OHKO scarabs at level 7 again?

queen briar
#

i think so

#

i already can 1 shot scarabs

#

with lvl 9 bow, splinter arrow

cobalt harbor
#

bip bop?

queen briar
#

also yes the Stylish feather hat does allow you to 1 shot scarabs

#

+twinkling shell drop rate 2-5 has a higher chance of dropping more shells

crude vale
#

I feel like scarabs are...less skittish now. One despawned on me 3 times before resurfacing again in its respawn point each time. I don't think scarabs are going to despawn for the day if you fail a hunt.

#

Anyone else having difficult time getting jewels in woah mode I got a marksmanship cap with level 8 crossbow and sharpshooter level 3 and still having hard time getting Jewls

queen briar
#

You got to do another convoluted process in whoa mode

#

Try your build but with liquid rage and super gas arrows

kind ice
cobalt harbor
#

i think my world is glitch OR i am very unlucky

#

because i cant find any sacarb beetles

queen briar
#

Skill issue

#

If not just reset creature spawn location

cobalt harbor
crude vale
#

In theory, could a level 9 Insect Bow with a Marksman's Cap kill a scarab in one hit? I've been debating on upgrading mine from 7 to 9.

queen briar
#

I'd say no as they will probably add some kind of tier 3 bow. Plus cross bow = accuracy

crude vale
#

Well, it's more of I'm a better shot with a bow than a crossbow. And that reload time is hell.

queen briar
#

Fair enough then. If you have the shells go ahead

crude vale
#

This calls for stience! After I hunt more of those little buggers. Need quite a few more shells.

queen briar
#

Alright

crude vale
#

(Or I could just use creative mode)

queen briar
#

Actually test if you can even 1 shot Scarabs with that on a creative world

#

Before you scam yourself

crude vale
#

The results: A level 9 Insect Bow with a Marksman's Cap came close to one-shotting the scarab, but it didn't one-shot it. Even with Liquid Rage, the Scarab still hung on with a thread of health. Looks like the Crow Crossbow is the clear winner when it comes to scarab hunting.

#

I doubt scarab health was buffed. Like you mentioned, one simply needs to upgrade the Marksman's Cap to level 6 to one-shot them with a level 7 crossbow.

#

Level 9 still one-shots them regardless btw. I was using Splinter Arrows, but I'm pretty sure Feather Arrows work just as well.

queen briar
#

Alright cool

crude vale
#

I would use Feather Arrows, but I've gotten so used to the Splinter Arrow arc.

#

Scarabs don't respond to Spike Strips, right?

#

There's one that always runs out of the termite mound and I can never kill it.

#

Shinobi Sneeze...I feel like that would be more useful for scarabs if it lasted longer and didn't lower your freaking damage.

queen briar
#

yes

novel zenith
#

Are scarabs rare or something?

queen briar
#

There are 9 scarabs in the upper yard. So call them rare if you want

crude vale
#

From the looks of things, you could probably use an insect bow with spider armor and a mask of the mother demon and the scarab will die from poison. That's just a theory. A GAME-gets shot with poison arrows

junior sail
#

@queen briar got any tips for melee? I’ve never even gotten close

#

And my bow won’t one shot because I need shells to upgrade it 🙁

steady pawn
junior sail
#

What??

#

In like a lab?

steady pawn
junior sail
#

Ok thx

#

Oh I got those when the update came out lol

Im not sure if they reset i was wondering if you got it when it first came out.

I hate how the crossbow aiming is off in third-person. Missed so many shots before I got frustrated and switched to first-person. Also, scarabs can still despawn. It just feels mildly more difficult for them to do so. Or maybe I've been getting better.

#

It's really annoying how burrowing larvae of all things can spook them.

#

Okay, so...scarabs are no longer one-shotted with standard arrows from a level 9 crossbow.

#

Guess I'm not hunting scarabs this trip.

#

wth crow arrows don't kill it, either. I think we need the marksman's cap or splinter arrows for this. Crow arrows didn't even bleed it.

#

It did it again! Bled to death, but it burrowed as it was dying, so I lost the loot.

Also brood mother mask still works for poison

#

Yup. The bleed damage ticked their health to 0 and they despawned. They technically died, so the respawn timer activated.

#

Marksman's Cap and my level 9 crossbow with standard arrows did the trick, though.

Do I question how this scarab got here, or do I take the freebie?

A termite probably was scared off or fell down from the ledge above

#

guessing on Whoa gonna need super gas arrow + smoother of strength and the maskcap level 7 for a crossbow 7 to 1 hit scarab

queen briar
#

Yes

#

Basically hasn't changed much

crude vale
#

Most that's changed is scarabs got a slight health boost in the PTS. For some reason.

Note scarabs seem to burrow when they are far enough away from you now. however they still do burrow away so keep that in mind!

BobBuzzes 1 shot whoa mode! lvl 9 crossbow, 1 splinter arrow, liquid rage and sleek feather hat

#

the splinter arrow does just enough damage to 1 shot the scarab. Using feather arrows make the bleed damage kill them aswell but not instant
