Scarab Bomb



The Scarab Bomb is a sticky thrown explosive used for mining large shafts. Once stuck to a block, it will explode after a short delay, creating a 21 block long and 3 block wide shaft facing directly away from the player. It is crafted with a bomb and a piece of sturdy fossil, or found in pots in the underground desert.

Tips

 * Scarab Bombs can be useful for creating Hellevator shafts quickly.


 * In Hardmode, they can be used to create many hellevator shafts to speed up cleansing the world's evil biome if the player has enough

Trivia

 * A spoiler posted to the 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!"
