Ignore the massive blocks for the time being and move on. You soon reach a quicksand area where you need to bomb away some cultists who are blocking your way. To get the star piece, take a bomb from the entrance to this area and throw it as far left as possible. Then take a walk around the area to reach the star piece from upwards.

### Quicksand Junction

The next area has a massive block with bombs in its middle and exits to each side. First, go to the northern exit and clear it from the cultists - this will get handy later - but do not take it for now. Additionally, press the button under the cactus to lower the center stone.

Now aim at taking the left exit first. This one is blocked by cultists again, so take a bomb to get rid of them. At the next screen push the speed arrow in front of the jump pad to be fast enough and you will meet a "well-dressed" knight who will follow you on SNS. Walkthrough the cave behind him and you are back at the start, but behind the wall of massive stones. Use the bombs to blow them away and do the same with the stones at the very south to get the Flame Festival Bow. Now take the other cave to reach the Tent Area.

After an unavoidable battle, immediately leave the tent area at its south to get back to the junction via the path we cleared in beforehand. Now move to the right exit of the junction. You have a short fight with some enemies before you are able to access a quicksand path that ends at a hole in the ground. When entering the quicksand move straight right(!) through the wall and you access a secret area with a video record and the Ancient God Ring at its end. Return to the black hole and jump through it to get a star piece. You will be at a platform in the Tent Area again.

### Tent Area

At first, immediately leave at the left and you meet a merchant with the Picky Merchant quest. He is thirsty and needs some water, which is easy to fulfill as a water seller is close. Just be aware the merchant only drinks natural mineral water! However, he is so picky about it, that you could massively increase the gold he is willing to pay for it by first refusing to give it to him. If you attempt to get him to go above 8000 he will refuse and the quest will finish.

Next, go to the main tent in the center of the Tent Area. You meet Marvin again who is torturing some cultists for information. While he is busy, loot the boxes at the top right to get a star piece.

### The Monster in the Sand

You leave the tent again and find a cultist running away from you. Follow him, but do not miss out to stop at the health fountain, because next, you will find yourself in a fight against a monster (let's call it Sandy). One of the main attacks it to summon a ring of sandstorms around you. It is unavoidable, but always has an exit to it. So do not run to quickly, but watch out for the correct direction first. Additionally Sandy will hide in the sand from time to time, so take care when you use your special abilities.

After the battle the cultist is still out of reach on his platform. Therefore, move around to lure him into the banana peel and he will fall off. Now you could interrogate him together with Marvin to receive a key to the main gate in the north.

### Behind the Gate

After you pass the gate a treasure chest is awaiting you. Open it to find a Heavenhold Worker which will from now on allow you to have an additional construction pending in Heavenhold.

Moving to the right you meet a Teatan girl who will follow you on SNS before she gets run over by a cultist. Take the jump pads to open the path to the right and you will meet a guy revealing The Source of the Oasis. Move on to a part with a lot of stones that need to be destroyed to get access to a switch which will open a path next to the oasis guy. Not only a star piece and purple coins are there, but the access to a cave, too.

Take the cave and you end up with Cecil on a platform. Next to her is the Volcano Punch.
