## Description

The desert is found by exploring the wasteland, and is always the next location found after discovering the Lake. In Xianxia it has been split into two distinct areas, the initially encountered Outer Desert - Desert (O), and the Inner Desert - Desert (I), which is discovered by exploring the outer desert. A significant amount of content has been added to the Inner Desert by the 0.8t2 patch, stand by while this is added to the page. In the meantime, patchnotes for this content can be found in-game or in the official Discord.

>  *“Ain’t much to see there, the place is almost as empty as the wasteland, at least at a first glance. Empty is a very suggestive word because several things hints at the presence of a hidden city somewhere in the desert aside from the many ant fortresses. If you are the adventuring sort you may run into Sand witches across the desert, they may or may not be helpful. Aside from them there has been spottings of a Naga or two living in there. I recommend you keep watch for traps and most of all sand traps when wandering around there, these bugs live for a chance to stick their eggs down someone’s butt. Demons like almost everywhere else also have been spotted partying in the desert.”*

## Non-Combat Encounters

Each encounter has been given a suffix that indicates whether this occurs in the Desert(O), Desert(I), or both (O/I).

### Jewel of the Desert (O) Confirm (I)

Out across the endless sea of dunes, the Champion spies the outline of city walls. Investigating this potential mirage leads to you discovering the city of Tel'Adre.

### Strange Gateway In the Sands (O) Confirm (I)

Set in the side of a particularly large sand dune, you discover the guarded entrance to the Desert Cave dungeon! Once discovered, the dungeon is unlocked as a place and can be accessed directly. The Strange Gateway will not appear until you've reached level 4.

### Desert Decor (O) Confirm (I)

While walking through the desert sands, you chance upon a long-abandoned wooden chest, devoid of contents. Dragging it back to camp, you gain six storage slots in your camp stash.

### Burning Library (O) Confirm (I)

A one-time encounter observed from afar, where a strange naga appears to be using a staff to cook a potato over the burning remains of a library shouting "Hora hora", and gives the character a Wizard's Staff. Only available to characters with greater than 50 intelligence.

### Burnt Library Remains (O) Confirm (I)

After encountering the spectacle of the burning library, the Champion has a chance of coming across its charred remains. Being the opportunistic scavenger that you are, the Champion spends some time retrieving usable nails from it. The amount of nails recovered is proportional to your intelligence, strength, toughness, and speed stats combined. By the time you're approaching ascension, a single trip to this library can yield over a thousand nails. For more information on what nails are used for, visit the Build Options section of the camp page.

### A Big Question (O) Confirm (I)

You cross paths with a wanderer endowed with huge testicles and his succubus partner. The wanderer, a retired traveler who reveals his name to be Marcus and his succubus companions name to be Lucia, wants advice on whether he should give up his soul (gain corruption) or remain human. After he has been given an answer, Lucia will begin leaving succubi's delight lying amongst the sand dunes for the Champion to find.

### Quicksand (O) Confirm (I)

Your initial encounter with a sandtrap, you discover a young man seemingly about to succumb to a wide pool of quicksand. Do you leap to his rescue or leave him to his doom? Choosing to leave him results in his ruse being revealed and the Champion being given the option to fight him in retaliation for his trickery.

### A Tasty Treat (O) Confirm (I)

Occasionally while wandering the dunes, you discover a tasty honeydew cake.

### Big Man (O) Confirm (I)

A scene that only appears for characters with cocks longer than they are tall. The Hero's penis impedes their progress through the desert, and causes a slight fatigue gain. You sure you're not compensating for something?

### Fountain of Endowment (O) Confirm (I)

A magic fountain that can grant XP, increase the size of a number body parts, or lead to possession by Exgartuan.

### Mirage (O) Confirm (I)

An illusion of a distant, shimmering tower. Causes lust to be reduced by 15.

### Sand Training (O) Confirm (I)

The Champion struggles through the shifting sands. Can result in increase of strength or toughness increase (up to a maximum of 50).

### Desert Trickery (O) Confirm (I)

The standard encounter with some variety of mimic.

### Trouble at the Oasis (O) Confirm (I)

While resting at a small oasis, the Champion encounters a group of demons. You can choose to fight them or join them at a feast.

## Other encounters

### Damsel in Distress (O)

You come across a merchant's cart being ransacked by a strange figure, while she is preoccupied with the loot, a group of demons descends upon her. Do you play the hero and defend this unsuspecting figure? Choosing to inspect the scene then play the hero begins the story line of the ant-morph, Phylla. Subsequent encounters with her begin by the Champion coming across the well-hidden entrance to her ant colony.

## Goblin Weapon Parts

You find the parts for the Desert Eagle. (Only occurs if the Champion has talked to the Tel'Adre Gunsmith about Goblins)
