Scarab (Obelisk of Khamoon)

''This article is about an item. You may be looking for the enemy. See Scarab (Enemy)''

The Scarab is one of four items placed around an obelisk at the City of Khamoon. When all four items are recovered by Lara and placed around another obelisk, this time within receptacles; the doors to the Sanctuary of the Scion open.

Tomb Raider II: Starring Lara Croft
For reasons unknown, the scarab item along with its receptacle are present inside the level file of an alpha version of Catacombs of the Talion shown at E3 1997. However, it does not appear anywhere within the level itself. It was probably a placeholder for something that would have been inserted into the game later.
