Totems in Dig grant powerful buffs within their area. Here’s a breakdown of all Totems, their effects, and the best ways to use them.

Totems are some of the most valuable tools in Dig Roblox, especially for late-game farming. Whether you’re grinding for rare loot, bonus EXP, or improved dig modifiers, using Totems smartly can massively boost your progress. This guide covers every Totem in the game, where to find them, what they do, and how to stack them for maximum efficiency.
What Are Totems in Dig Roblox?
Totems are area-of-effect (AoE) items that give buffs to all players standing inside their radius. The effects range from better loot chances to increased boss damage and EXP gains. Some Totems can affect the player’s Luck, others modify the rarity or modifiers of items dug up.
Each Totem lasts for a limited time and requires specific conditions to activate, usually digging up a set number or type of items within the radius. You can stack up to three Totems at a time for even stronger buffs.

How Do Totems Work?
Totems work by giving you stat boosts while you’re standing inside their circle. To activate one, you need to dig up a certain number of items or specific types of loot while staying within its range.
Once the Totem is active, the boost kicks in for a limited time depending on the type of Totem. Anyone inside the AOE gets the benefit, so it’s wise to use them when you’re digging with others or farming a busy zone. Timing matters, so drop one when you think it’s the right spot, and you’ll get a lot more out of it. You can further boost it if you have an Item Detector, which makes it a lot easier that way.
How To Stack Totems in Dig Roblox

You can place up to three Totems in the same location and stack their effects. The key is to combine buffs that complement each other, for example:
- Essence + Arcane + Glistening for XP, Luck, and shiny loot.
- Monarch + Celestial + Augmented for boss fights and high-mod loot.
Stacking Totems correctly can help you farm more efficiently, especially in high-yield or event zones.
Tips and Tricks for Using Totems
- Totems are shared among nearby players, so coordinate with friends to get the most out of them during group runs.
- Don’t waste them in low-loot zones. Drop Totems in spots where lots of digging or farming is happening to trigger them quickly.
- Combine Luck, XP, and loot-based Totems for the best farming efficiency.
- Complete five Combat Guild quests to unlock premium Totems like Monarch for free, Complete nine Penguin Pizza quests for Arcane, and nine Tom’s Bakery quests for Essence.
- Use Totems during events with rare spawns and bonuses to maximize loot, XP, and efficiency.
Totems are one of the most important tools in Dig Roblox, especially if you’re aiming for endgame loot or want to optimize your runs. Keep stacking, farming, and digging smarter, not harder.
