How to Get the Silver Scarab in Elden Ring: Complete Route, Prerequisites, and Best Farming Builds
By Sophia Al-Mansoor
Players often confuse the two scarab talismans, but they serve completely different progression functions across different stages of the game.
The Gold Scarab increases Rune gain by 20 percent. You can obtain it almost immediately after starting a playthrough by sprinting into the scarlet rot depths of the Abandoned Cave in Caelid. It serves leveling efficiency, allowing you to rapidly amass currency from bosses like Greyoll or the early-game Night's Cavalry.
The Silver Scarab targets loot drops exclusively and remains locked away until the late-game gateway to the Consecrated Snowfield. It does not award extra runes, and the Gold Scarab does not raise weapon drop odds. Sacrificing a talisman pouch slot for the Silver Scarab is strictly an investment in equipment collection, rare armor drop farming, and ammunition crafting materials.
