Empowered Rare Monsters:
When you use this Scarab in your Map Device before running a map, it grants Rare monsters (yellow enemies) within the area two additional modifiers. These modifiers alter the stats and abilities of the Rare monsters, making them more challenging but also potentially more rewarding.
Understanding Rare Monsters and Modifiers:
Rarity Significance: Rare monsters are naturally more challenging than regular (white) monsters. They have higher life pools, deal more damage, and can have inherent abilities.
Monster Modifiers: Throughout a map, monsters can have various modifiers displayed as text under their names. These modifiers affect their stats and abilities, such as “Increased Attack Speed” or “Regenerates Life.”
Impact of the Scarab:
Double the Trouble: The Horned Scarab of Nemeses essentially injects chaos into your map run by giving Rare monsters two additional modifiers on top of any they might already have inherently or from the map itself. This can create unpredictable and significantly more challenging encounters.
Potentially Higher Rewards: While definitely tougher, Rare monsters with more modifiers also have a higher chance of dropping better loot. You can expect an increased opportunity to acquire valuable items and currency.
Overall:
The PoE Horned Scarab of Nemeses is a strategic choice for experienced players who can handle the significantly increased difficulty of Rare monsters in exchange for the potential of acquiring high-tier rewards. Use this Scarab strategically if you’re comfortable with a challenging and potentially more rewarding map experience.
