Giant Scorpion is a hostile mob found exclusively in The Dunes (West). It is the primary mob for farming Medium Scrolls and is significantly faster to farm than Magma Brutes.
Giant Scorpions are tameable via King Scorpia Mount camouflage — they ignore riders of that mount until attacked.

Medium Scroll Farming
Giant Scorpions are the fastest way to farm Medium Scrolls in the game.
| Metric | Value | Comparison |
|---|---|---|
| Drop rate | 1 in 500 | Better than Magma Brutes (1 in 750) |
| Kill time | ~7 seconds | Faster than Magma Brutes (~10 seconds) |
| Estimated time per scroll | ~58 minutes | Nearly 2× faster than Magma Brutes (125 minutes) |
| Location | The Dunes (West) | No level gate (any level can enter) |
| Hazards | Heat + full PvP | Must manage heat damage and watch for other players |
Heat Management
The Dunes deals 1 HP every 10 seconds to all players. You must:
- Wear Desert Robe top + bottom for complete immunity, OR
- Use Health Potion+ to heal through heat damage, OR
- Bring Cacti (20 HP per harvest, requires Iron Axe + Woodcutting 20) to heal on the spot
Regular potions and food do not work in The Dunes.
King Scorpia Mount Interaction
While riding King Scorpia Mount, all Giant Scorpions ignore you completely.
- Attack a Scorpion and camouflage breaks — they hunt you for 30 seconds
- Every further attack refreshes the 30-second timer
- Stop attacking and wait it out, camouflage returns
- Useful for repositioning or skipping packs
Strategy Tips
- Fastest scroll farm — bring Heat immunity (Desert Robe or Health Potion+) and farm here instead of Magma Brutes
- Pack hunting — Giant Scorpions often roam in groups; be ready for multiple aggros
- Heat watch — constantly monitor your HP; heat damage is consistent
- PvP alert — Dunes West is full PvP outside safe camps; bring friends or fight defensively
- Shield + armor — Iron or Silver armor reduces incoming damage; bring Shield Potions
- Sword tier — Silver Sword hits for 30 base + 10 from Strength Potion = 40 damage per swing
