Would he need the scepter, another tessaract, another orb, etc? I guess not because going by the M & M explanation, the timeline would reset so that wouldn't matter. But if it did, that would complicate things. I thought of this after watching HISHE's recent video. He's already answered this; check the replies above. Or I guess I'll just quote it here for you:

BEJT wrote: all you need to do is replace the stone to its time to fix things, and the exact logistics of literally returning the stone to its exact place don't matter. Just plopping it back in the right time is what cuts off that branch. [...] When you replace the Infinity Stone in its timeline, it doesn't fix that timeline by putting everything back to how it was. It allows the Infinity Stones to be in harmony again and correct the flow of time, as the Ancient One explains, thus as Bruce says, erasing that dark splinter from the timeline. ^ BEJT's thoughts on the matter
