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."
