Notes
- Despite the tooltip implying that the accessory boosts the damage and knockback of minions only, it also affects sentries and whips.
- The Papyrus Scarab stacks with both its ingredients.
Tips
- Due to the Papyrus Scarab only giving 15% extra summon damage, it is more effective to equip the Hercules Beetle and Necromantic Scroll separately, if the player has accessory slots to spare.
- Supplementarily, it is more effective to equip both the Papyrus and Necromantic Scroll; the 5% summoning damage lost by choosing the Necromantic Scroll over the Hercules Beetle is easily made back up by the extra minion slot.
Trivia
- The Papyrus Scarab's name is based on two things commonly referred to in Ancient Egyptian lore: the scarab beetle, and the papyrus being the leaf that Egyptian scribes used to write upon.
