PoE Ambush Scarab of Hidden Compartments

The Ambush Scarab of Hidden Compartments in Path of Exile adds a layer of intrigue and potential double rewards to your strongbox encounters:

  • Reopening Strongboxes: When you use this Scarab in your Map Device, there’s a 15% chance for any Strongbox you encounter in the map to be opened again after your initial interaction. This essentially grants you a possibility to loot the same Strongbox twice.

Benefits:

  • Double the Loot: If the 15% chance triggers, you get the opportunity to acquire double the loot from a Strongbox, potentially doubling your rewards from specific currency types, crafting materials, or even unique items.
  • Exciting Gamble: The random chance of reopening adds a layer of excitement to Strongbox encounters, as you never know if you might get a second chance at the loot.

Important Notes:

  • Chance Based, Not Guaranteed: The Scarab only offers a 15% chance for Strongbox reopening, not a guaranteed double loot opportunity for every Strongbox.
  • Scarab Rarity: Ambush Scarab of Hidden Compartments might be rarer than the base Ambush Scarab, so it might be more expensive to acquire.
  • Multiple Uses on Same Strongbox: The 15% chance is applied independently to each Strongbox you encounter. You can potentially trigger the reopening effect multiple times if you encounter enough Strongboxes.

Overall:

The Ambush Scarab of Hidden Compartments is a great option for players who want to add some extra excitement and potentially double their Strongbox rewards. While the chance for reopening is not guaranteed, it offers a valuable opportunity to boost your overall loot yield from Strongboxes. This Scarab is a good choice for players who enjoy the thrill of gambling for potentially greater rewards.
