Quest 36 Reach for the Stars More quests

Prerequisites: AF Sand Rose

   Use the Sand Rose to build Duma Desert and enter. Right at the entrance, you'll run into Lisa and Bud's old teacher, Kathinja. Talk to her twice and she'll enlist your help in tracking down Mephianse. She sends her brown and blue students out through the desert to guide you; don't get them confused with Mephianse's green-robed henchmen!

   On the first screen after Kathinja's outpost, you'll run into two of these students (as well as a chest with Lizard Meat). Talk to either student and they'll start bickering about which path you should take; the correct road is the bottom one (as stated by Kathinja's student). Head all the way east on the next screen. There's two northbound exits; take the one on the right.

   Grab the Rust from the chest, then talk to Mephianse's underlings. Ignore their attempts to get you to turn around and continue north. Head west and take the first exit north. More of Mephianse's goons will be here; talk to them three times and choose the option "Go through."

   As you proceed west across the next screen, Kathinja will appear again and warn you to boost your magic defense before fighting Mephianse. Since you won't actually be fighting him, ignore her advice and proceed west to the launching grounds. Mephianse blows you and Kathinja back east, and then two Axebeaks attack you. Defeat them one at a time, then run back to the cannon. Mephianse will launch his bombs -- or at least attempt to. You'll receive Artifacts or metal for clearing this quest.

Cactus Diary:
"A sorcerer did a little old magic in the desert. I was watching it, too, and it was really cool! I guess the ancient people thought better things back then."
