The Ninja Gaiden games have always been hard enough on their own to beat, but getting everything that is found in the game can take that to the next level. The first modern Ninja Gaiden that was redone as Ninja Gaiden Sigma has Golden Scarabs as a collectible all throughout the game for you to find. There are 50 of these to be found throughout the various stages in the game, some out in the open and others a little more hidden. That is why we have put together a guide to tell you where to find all of them in Ninja Gaiden Sigma within the new Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection release.
Ninja Gaiden Sigma Scarab Guide
Ninja Gaiden Sigma is split into 18 chapters, a few of which in this version give you control of Rachel. When it comes to the collectible Golden Scarabs however, they are only going to be found within the Ryu Hayabusa chapters. There’s no specific amount in each stage either, as they are randomly scattered throughout the Ryu levels. There aren’t even any Golden Scarabs to be found in the first two chapters of the game either while Ryu is making his way through the two villages. They do start to appear as soon as you reach the Airship though.
