A player using Scarab Bombs. Note how the explosion aims away from the player.

The Scarab Bomb is an explosive that functions like the Sticky Bomb, but instead creates a 21-tile long and 3-tile wide shaft. The explosion will always aim away from the player's position, even after being thrown.

It can be crafted, found in Oasis Crates, Mirage Crates, Sandstone Chests, or Pots in the Underground Desert.

Trivia

  • A spoiler posted to the Official Terraria Forums mentions the Scarab Bomb. The flavor text reads: "Unique to the Desert Biome and descended from the ancient beetles of legend, these handy helpers make digging long tunnels or shafts a breeze!"[1][2]
  • The color palette, particularly the blue fire and purple shell, as well as the visual design in general, bear resemblance to the Covenant technology in the video game series Halo. The Scarab is a large mining device in the universe of Halo.
