PoE PoE Ambush Scarab

The Ambush Scarab in Path of Exile is a consumable scarab that injects a specific benefit into your map runs:

  • More Strongboxes: When you use this Scarab in your Map Device before running a map, it adds 5 additional Strongboxes to the map area. Strongboxes are special containers that hold loot and require a specific currency called a Bandit's Whetstone to open.

Increased Loot Potential:

Essentially, the Ambush Scarab grants you the opportunity to open 5 extra Strongboxes, which translates to potentially more loot. The quality of the loot you find within these Strongboxes depends on various factors, including the tier of the map you're running and the rarity of the Strongboxes themselves.

Overall:

The Ambush Scarab is a straightforward and cost-effective way to increase the potential rewards you get from a map run. While the loot quality itself is randomized, the increased number of Strongboxes offers more opportunities to score valuable finds. This Scarab is a solid option for both new and experienced players looking to get more out of their maps.
