PORTALS, DEMONS, CORRUPTION, AND BOSSES

Beyond Scarabs

Beyond Scarabs affect different stages of the same encounter chain. The basic Scarab helps create Beyond monsters, while the other variants change portal formation, monster rewards, temporary modifier stealing, or boss encounters. Match the Scarab to the stage your map setup can actually reach.

SELECTION RULESeparate effects that create Beyond Portals from effects that only improve demons or bosses after they appear.

PATH OF EXILE 1 · MAP FRAGMENT

Beyond Scarab

Open full guide →
WHAT CHANGES

Slaying enemies close together in the area can attract monsters from Beyond this realm.

BEST WHEN

Use it as the encounter foundation when the map does not already have a reliable source of Beyond portals.

MAIN RISK

It enables portal generation but does not guarantee a boss, valuable tainted currency, or a particular Beyond faction.

PATH OF EXILE 1 · MAP FRAGMENT

Beyond Scarab of Corruption

Open full guide →
WHAT CHANGES

Items dropped by Beyond Demons in the area are Corrupted.

BEST WHEN

Use it when the plan values corrupted Beyond drops and already creates enough Beyond Demons to make the rule relevant.

MAIN RISK

Corruption makes items unmodifiable by ordinary crafting methods and does not guarantee that a dropped item is valuable.

PATH OF EXILE 1 · MAP FRAGMENT

Beyond Scarab of Haemophilia

Open full guide →
WHAT CHANGES

Beyond Portals have 50% increased merging radius, and characters that kill Beyond Rare Monsters have a 30% chance to gain their modifiers for 20 seconds.

BEST WHEN

Use it when dense monster placement can benefit from the larger merging radius and the build can repeatedly kill Beyond Rare Monsters.

MAIN RISK

The stolen modifier effect is temporary and chance-based; the Scarab does not create its own Beyond encounter.

PATH OF EXILE 1 · MAP FRAGMENT

Beyond Scarab of Resurgence

Open full guide →
WHAT CHANGES

Beyond Bosses are accompanied by bosses of other factions, drop 20% increased Tainted Currency, and portals have 30% increased chance to spawn a Unique Boss.

BEST WHEN

Use it in a setup that already produces enough Beyond portals to pursue repeated boss encounters and tainted-currency drops.

MAIN RISK

The Scarab improves boss outcomes and boss chance; it does not guarantee that the map reaches a boss encounter.

PATH OF EXILE 1 · MAP FRAGMENT

Beyond Scarab of the Invasion

Open full guide →
WHAT CHANGES

Rare and Unique Monsters slain in the area create 8 to 12 additional Beyond Portals.

BEST WHEN

Use it when the map contains enough Rare and Unique Monsters to serve as dependable portal triggers.

MAIN RISK

The portal count depends on killing eligible monsters; it does not supply those monsters or guarantee a Beyond boss by itself.
