PoE Domination Scarab of Terrors

The Domination Scarab of Terrors in Path of Exile adds a significant challenge and potentially greater rewards to your map runs. Here’s how it works:

  • Shrines in Area are guarded by an additional Map Boss: When you use this Scarab, each Shrine in the map, including both regular Domination Shrines and any bonus Unusual Shrines, will be guarded by a separate Map Boss. This means you’ll have to defeat these extra bosses to activate the Shrines.
  • Modifiers to the Final Map Boss also apply to these guardians: Any modifiers affecting the main boss of the map, such as increased life, elemental resistances, or special abilities, will also be applied to the Shrine guardian bosses. This can make them quite formidable foes.

Increased Difficulty and Rewards:

The Domination Scarab of Terrors significantly increases the difficulty of your map run. However, it also comes with the potential for greater rewards:

  • Challenging Encounters: Defeating these additional bosses can be a great test of your character’s build and skill.
  • Potentially Better Loot: Since these guardian bosses are essentially mini-map bosses, they have a higher chance of dropping valuable items compared to regular monsters. This includes endgame currencies, unique items, and even higher-tier maps.

Things to Consider:

  • This Scarab is recommended for experienced players with well-geared characters.
  • Make sure your build can handle the extra challenge before using this Scarab.
  • Rolling maps with beneficial modifiers beforehand can further increase your chances of success and maximize rewards.

Overall, the Domination Scarab of Terrors offers a way to spice up your map runs and potentially acquire better loot, but be prepared for a tougher fight!
