Running recklessly or even suicidally after a stupid critter full of juicy loot has long become a cliché in video games, such as the Treasure Goblins of Diablo 3 , and the different types of crystal lizards found in Demon's Souls and its successors . . In order to show that the license is different, Elden Ring changes the formula a little, but not too much. It should be noted in passing that they do not have a particular resistance to spells, unlike lizards. They also don't give Forge Shards to upgrade your weapons, at least on the beta.
Teardrop Scarabs: How it works and in general
- In the vast majority of cases, Teardrop Scarabs are in a fixed location on the map. If they see or hear you approaching, they run away and disappear after a few seconds. A beetle that was not killed respawns while resting at a Passed Out Grace Point. If he was killed, however, he does not return.
- There are 3 types of approaches to kill them: The first is to simply rush at them on foot or on horseback and attack them in melee to kill them quickly. Touching them will delay their disappearance. The second technique consists in approaching discreetly from behind, in order to take them by surprise. There is obviously a problem: which side counts as the back for dung beetles who put their heads back? This remains to be confirmed. The last method is to simply kill him from a distance with a bow, spells, or projectile weapons.
- Upon death, the Weeping Beetle automatically gives you a reward. This always includes refilling your health vials or CP depending on the type of beetle (red or white), which is of little interest outside of a large dungeon. But fear not, the majority of them seem to offer interesting rewards, the most common being Ashes of War or Spells .
- There are special Teardrop Scarabs that double as mini-puzzles or a game of skill, like the White Footprints on the Beach , seen in the video above. The one in this example is invisible, intangible and always in motion, but it does not flee, unlike its congeners.
Teardrop Scarabs Location and Loot
Here is an initial list of watery beetles, it is based on the beta, so it is incomplete and subject to change, even for those listed, by the time the full game is released on February 25, 2022. This section will be updated and completed after this date.
- A little after the church of Elleh, to the right of the road that leads to the map and to Melina, behind some ruins. He currently has no special loot.
- On the road to Voilorage Castle, before the last ambush located in front of the door that leads to Margit the Fallen . Grants Ashes of War: Caria's Greatsword.
- East of the Gate and Melina meeting point , towards the bridge over the river north of Lake Agheel. Grants Ashes of War: Piercing Fang.
- At the very south of Lake Agheel, surrounded by giant crabs in ambush. It gives the spell Shardstone Arc.
- On the second hard-to-reach beach, south of the tutorial area. It gives the cure poison spell.
- South of the island of the Church of Draconic Communion, reached by passing through the Cave of the Demi-Human Chieftains . The reward is the Flaming Feast spell.
- The invisible beetle that leaves white footprints visible in the video at the top of the article. He is on the beach west of the tutorial, you have to attack with the right timing, in front of the tracks, or cast an area spell. This time, the rewards include Ashes of War: Determination.
