Scarab is a new local specialty in Sumeru that Travelers can find in the new desert area of Genshin Impact. In the current version, only Cyno is the character that needs Scarab as one of his ascension materials.

Since there are various hidden underground areas in Sumeru, players may find it hard to find Scarab. This article will show players the fastest route to farm the said local specialty for Cyno in Genshin Impact.

The first route starts at the teleport waypoint in Khaj-Nisut and ends in an underground room in The Dune of Magma. The path is easy and has few enemies, so players won't encounter battle as much.

However, they are recommended to bring along Tighnari because of his exploration skills that can mark local specialties like Scarab in the mini-map. From this route alone, Travelers will get 26 Scarabs.

Genshin Impact players can continue by teleporting to the Statue of the Seven near The Mausoleum of King Deshret and head west until they see the local specialty. For gamers who have not completed the Dual Evidence quest, their sky color will be red around The Mausoleum and may hinder their sight in spotting these five Scarabs.

The fourth route starts at a teleport waypoint west of the Valley of Dahri and ends near the Statue of the Seven. Players need to go through some enemy camps, but they can choose to ignore the opponents by running away right after they obtain the Scarab.

In addition, a Ruin Golem will attack players with its laser beam if they don't complete Afratu's Dilemma quest beforehand. A total of seven Scarabs can be found here.

The last route is entirely underground. Genshin Impact players need to complete the Dual Evidence quest before using this route, or they may not be able to access certain areas due to insufficient clearance from their Scarlet Stone Slate gadget. This route will give 18 Scarabs to players who follow it.


Cyno needs a total of 168 Scarabs to ascend to the highest level. Genshin Impact players may need to visit other people's worlds for their local specialties or wait for another 48 hours for their Scarab to spawn back.
