Add one Abyss encounter to the area.

Placing the Scarab in a personal Map Device makes the area contain an additional Abyss. It adds the encounter itself; its route, completion, and rewards still depend on the map and gameplay.

Budget the time needed to follow the Abyss.

Use it when the Atlas plan supports Abyss content and the map layout allows the encounter to be followed efficiently. Include the additional clearing time when evaluating the run.

Before you use one

Poor layouts, failed encounters, or weak rewards can reduce practical value. The Scarab is consumed with the map activation.

Abyss-focused Atlas plans support its market.

The exchange value tracks Scarab supply and demand for additional Abysses. One added encounter does not guarantee a particular Abyss outcome or valuable reward.
