From Kaipo, head north-east across the desert to locate the Antlion's Den. This dungeon is characterized by its sandy floors and unique enemies. You'll encounter Antlions, which are weak to Ice magic, and other desert creatures. Rydia's Blizzard spell will be very effective here. Navigate through the various floors, collecting treasure chests that often contain useful items or equipment upgrades. The main objective is to reach the lowest floor where the Antlion boss resides. The Antlion is a formidable foe. It has a counter-attack called 'Counter Horn' that it uses after taking physical damage. The most effective strategy is to have Rydia cast Blizzard repeatedly while Cecil uses items or defends. If Cecil must attack, be prepared for the counter. After defeating the Antlion, you will obtain the Sand Pearl. Return to Kaipo to use the Sand Pearl on Rosa, advancing the story and adding her to your party.
