Walkthrough
- 1Go right to the dialogue trigger and save.
- 2Return northwest past the cracked mirror and loop south, following sand currents (second or third from the left) to a chest for a Rich Ohagi. Hop back into the sand currents to return to the save point area.
- 3Head southeast, taking the bottom-most current, to reach a hidden Guard Bean and a sign. Return to the save point.
- 4Head north-northeast to find the Sandlyme shell.
- 5Continue east, taking the bottom-most current to a small clearing. Find a chest hidden behind palm trees containing a Ribbitol.
- 6Proceed east, taking the bottom-most sand current. In the spinner minigame, choose left.
- 7To your left is a poem written in the sand, hinting at the Amorzuna fight solution.
- 8Take the left-most sand current, or walk directly right above the palm trees to enter a tall vertical area enclosed by sand currents. At the top is a hidden Lunar Gum. At the bottom is the shell of Amorzuna.
- 9Return to the poem by heading to the top of the area and going east. From the poem, take the second current down from the left. Choose the right option in the spinner minigame to reach a small empty clearing.
- 10A chest slightly hidden by palm trees to your north contains a Green Gem.
- 11Walk to the north side of the palm trees, take the top-most sand current, which loops east and then south. Choose the right option at the juncture to reach a save point.
- 12After saving, hug the wall and head north, squeezing around a sand current for the Sanddon shell. A hint for this fight is nearby.
- 13For the hint, return to the campfire and go directly west, remaining above the sand current. Read the interactable area of wall with writing on it for the fight solution.
- 14Return to the save point and go south-southeast to take the third sand current from the top. At the junctions, go up, right, and up again to arrive near a chest with a Rich Ohagi.
- 15Go as far south as possible, avoiding sand currents, then turn east, hugging the bottom wall. Near the corner where the wall meets a sand current is a Green Gem.
- 16Bear slightly west to the wall of sand currents. Take the one second from the top.
- 17At the junctions, go up, up, and down-left to arrive at the shell of Desert Fox.
- 18Go north from here. To check out a sign, take the third sand current from the left and choose left at the juncture. You can return by walking into any sand current.
- 19Otherwise, take the second sand current from the left and choose left twice at the juncture.
- 20Walk carefully north and then west to reach a chest with a Rich Ohagi.
- 21Walk back to where you exited the last sand current. To your right and down, between two sand currents, is a third that leads out of this area. The side currents lead backward.
- 22The center sand current leads to a small clearing with the shell of Cranky Geezer. Talk to the invisible NPC in four locations within this area to get the solution to Cranky Geezer's puzzle (betrayers are Carlos and Miguel).
- 23Leave north, treading carefully around sand currents. Near the top, take the narrow exit to the west with a sand current at the end. Go right, right, up-left, down at the junctures.
- 24Here you'll find the shell of Guter's Door.
- 25MISSABLE: The chest Guter's Door drops contains the Stuffed Doll, required to save an Older later. Saving Guter's Door requires the Estate Invite from the previous area. Without this chain, you cannot 100% the game.
- 26Continue northeast, looping around a small building and passing through palm trees to pick up a chest containing a Green Gem.
- 27Head north through the door in the large wall.
- 28Emerge into a large open area with a plot-related random encounter.
- 29Bear directly left for a chest containing a Power Bean.
- 30Head all the way northeast for a hidden Green Gem.
- 31Proceed up the ladder and over the structure. On the final platform before leaving, find a hidden Green Gem on the eastern side.
- 32This is the edge of the desert. Check that you've saved every Older and collected the Stuffed Doll.
- 33Continue west for a dialogue sequence.
- 34Cross the chasm and inspect the crack on the long wall, second from the right (look for an interaction prompt).
- 35Complete the spinner minigame to continue.
- 36In the next area, save, and continue on.
