Sunken Desert
In 600 A.D., a whirlpool vortex appears south of the Denadoro Mountains near Fiona's Villa if a woman in Antiquity was encouraged to plant a sapling. The party must descend into this shifting cavern to defeat the sand monster Retinite, who is turning the land into a wasteland and preventing the forest from growing. Defeating the boss enables Robo to stay behind for several centuries to cultivate the earth into a lush forest.

- Collect every treasure chest before leaving the area with Robo, as the Sunken Desert collapses and permanently disappears once the quest is completed.
