Larva Caves

For Larvae: Just don't let them surround you, a group of Larvae can be dangerous attacking at the same time. For Scarabs: Knights: They don't have much defense, just don't let them surround you, they can deal huge damage when in group, an exori will help you in such a situation. If you use a weapon enchanted with fire it will also help a great deal. Mages: A good tactic is to use Wands or Rods & exori flam, since scarabs take good damage from them. Watch out because they'll run when in low health, don't chase them for too long or you may get surrounded by larvae and scarabs. If you get surrounded a GFB can take care of the situation. It's a good idea to take a Terra Hood or Terra Boots to lower the poison damage you'll receive. For Ancient Scarabs: Remember that spawn of Larvae, Scarabs, and Ancient Scarabs can no longer be blocked. If you are paladin or mage, staircase will be your best defensive weapon against Ancient Scarabs - just run around it. In case of emergency don't hesitate to use Fire Bomb Runes to block Ancient Scarab or to create more space to run safety next to the staircase. Don't kill Scarabs - it is better to let them run at deep red hp. Try to estimate the respawn time of the Ancient Scarab near the staircase (it is approximately 5 min, but the exact time may vary due to the number of players on-line): running into it with other Scarabs behind your back may send you back to temple. It is also advisable to know the exact spot of Ancient's respawn.
