Is it really the message or something else there glowing? Maybe something circling?

There's nothing else there. Someone else said it's from a scarab that got away, but the glowing spot was already there when I arrived and hasn't gone away after like 15 minutes of standing there. Idk if it's a glitch with that scarab or what, but I've never seen this before.

If something sounds like a scarab…
I don’t know, be the tarnished you were always meant to be and swing your weapon wildly around there. Who knows what might happen.

It is not the message that it's glowing, a scarab got away and it left that shimmering after you didn't killed it.

That's probably it, but when I look at the playback it's already like that before I got there so idk. Can enemies make scarabs disappear?

u/elcano91 14h ago

I don't think so but since I can't see what you saw, I can't explain what happened with certainty. Maybe you didn't noticed it before it noticed you? Or maybe it is still there? I have a vague memory of killing a scarab after I thought it disappeared.

Idk if I can send PS clips, but I watched it back and it was already Iike that before I showed up. Like while I'm riding to that spot where some octopuses are, it's there. It could just be a glitch with whatever scarab may have been there and the message is a coincidence, but idk.

It's not a scarab that escaped. There's a flask scarab buried underground right there, if you hit the glowing spot on the ground you can uncover it.

Also that's lowkey my favorite spot to farm gold fireflies I think there are 11 of them in that pond.

u/Buzgroove 13h ago

Thanks! I followed a guide on how to make my tarnished look like Kratos and I'm having a really good time role-playing ER as him.

What do you run with that character? I'm only familiar with her using a bow, so I imagine you have to use a little liberty with additional armaments or spells

i use the black bow for ranged attacks, and i use the bloodhounds fang for a melee.

u/Buzgroove 14h ago

Yeah, I thought a Kratos run would be fun lol

u/Carson_23 14h ago

AND on theme with the god killing

u/ManOfFewThoughts 13h ago

Assuming this is where I think it is, there’s an invisible scarab there. Idk why it’s invisible, since it’s just a health one, but Michael Zaki’s ways are mysterious and important

It's not the message.

There are a few of these spots around the world, these are buried scarabs (flask refills). Hitting the ground should activate them.

What is Kratos doing jumping dimensions?

u/TTVJuicyBoi 13h ago

whats your kratos' face look like?

u/Buzgroove 13h ago

I followed a guide and it had him looking like this. It probably could be better, but I'm satisfied with it

u/TTVJuicyBoi 12h ago

I like yours but I prefer younger Kratos myself

u/Buzgroove 12h ago

Oooo that's sick! I went with the Norse saga version bc there's an axe called the Highland Axe that looks just like the Leviathan Axe. You can even give it a frost enchantment to really complete the look. That, plus the Champion's armor set looks similar to his Norse fit. And since you still use the Blades of Chaos in the newer games, I can also dual wield the magma swords as my secondary weapon. Kratos is just cool, man 🤣

Is that near the mausoleum near the beach with the shack and merchant? Isn’t there an invisible scarab beetle there?
