Genshin Impact agricultural path and scarab places

Since it is now possible to visit the Sumeru desert, Genshin Impact scarabs have gained a lot of attention. It's amusing, since the term "hot" describes both the topic's appeal and their natural habitat—the Sumeru desert, which has an exceptionally "hot" climate—sorry, I was bringing out my inner Cyno. Not because we're all going to wear scarabs to an onikabuto battle (Itto would be horrified), yet that isn't the primary reason scarabs are so popular. Nope, it's just that we're all quite excited to start creating the much-anticipated, witty general Cyno himself. And in the spirit of charity, we've chosen to follow Tighnari's lead and provide you with this guide that lists all the Genshin Impact scarab locations along with advice on how to find them. I'll stop now. You see, it's hilarious because Tighnari observes the forest.

See our instructions on Genshin Impact map, Genshin Impact starlight coalescence, and Genshin Impact dandelion seeds for additional helpful farming advice. Check out our list of all active Genshin Impact codes if you need a few more prime numbers to secure that five-star hotel you've been eyeing.

Locations of the Genshin Impact scarabs

Genshin Impact scarabs can only be found in Sumeru's desert regions, therefore searching elsewhere is rather useless. See all the approximate locations where scarabs spawn by looking at the map below.

Though they roam about, they ought to be around the locations shown on the aforementioned map. In addition, you may filter the pins on the Interactive Map of Teyvat so that they only display scarabs. After you've gathered them all, you can even conceal the pins.

For those of you who are having trouble identifying all the bugs, a YouTube traveler by the name of KyoStinV has also created a very helpful Genshin Impact scarab farming route video. With a little perseverance and this video, you can get 51 scarabs in a single run!

Genshin Impact farming advice for scarabs

There are a few considerations to examine while searching for scarabs.

  • Look out for rolling balls of dirt – scarabs are usually rolling, so don’t be hating when you see a ball of dirt making its way across the desert plain. There be beetles there!
  • Bring Tighnari – if you’re lucky enough to have Genshin Impact’s Tighnari, you can make use of his passive that shows you where local specialties are on the mini-map. Just keep an eye out for the hand icon
  • Draw distance sucks – no, seriously. I’ve been farming these little suckers for days, and despite the desert being full of wide open plains, you have to get pretty close before you see those bugs, so sticking to a farming route like that shown in the video above is very handy
  • Complete the Golden Slumber questline – the Golden Slumber world quest is long, but unlocks an area with a bunch more bugs. It makes all the difference
  • Mark the scarabs on your map – this may seem obvious but, even when using a video guide, I find marking each bug I collect on my map using pins helps a lot next time I go in
  • Unlock all the waypoints – you can’t control what waypoints and Statues of the Seven are unlocked in other players’ worlds, but unlocking every one you pass in your own desert makes your job a whole lot easier
  • Head to other worlds – a lot of Reddit users have been recommending changing your name to ‘Need Scarabs’ on your Traveler card, then asking to join other players’ worlds. Not everyone is farming for Cyno, and as he’s the only one using these little blighters right now
  • Eat stamina buff foods – consuming a food that buffs your climbing and gliding stamina consumption really helps when wandering the desert in search of bugs

Edit: As I said before, in order to get them, you must bop the bugs. You don't. I feel very bad for beating those scarabs without any justification.

What is the required number of scarabs for Cyno?

We assure you that there is a solution, even if you may find yourself asking this question often as you spend your day swatting bugs and chasing balls of mud. Cyno need the following number of scarabs for each degree of ascension.

  • Level 20+ – three scarabs
  • Level 40+ – ten scarabs
  • Level 50+ – 20 scarabs
  • Level 60+ – 30 scarabs
  • Level 70+ – 45 scarabs
  • Level 80+ – 60 scarabs

That sums up to .Grab 168 scarabs. Best of luck, fellow beetles!
