ITEMS TO GET: Yamato Sword, Kingly Armor, Godfather

   The other main sidequest lies on Duneman Isle, due west of Bart's HQ. You'll have to land the Yggdrasil at the south tip of the island and then walk up to enter. This place is an on-foot location, so bring Billy and one other character.

   Upon entering, you'll be confronting by the rapping Dune Men, who will warn you to leave. Turn them down and you'll have to fight them... fortunately, they're wimps. After you clean their clock, you'll wind up in everyone's favorite RPG dungeon, the endless desert area!

   There's a wide variety of enemies here, including more Dune Men, Sand Sharks (use elemental Deathblows or Ethers to kill them), Wyrms (use Billy's Ether Guns), Tin Robos, and Dragons. The Dragons are the toughest to kill, as they will hit you Dragon Breath and wipe out anyone without a Yamato Belt (and who isn't Citan ^_^). Have Billy cast Goddess Call on Fei to boost his speed and attack with Kokei or Yamikei. Also, if you have the Trader Card, you can get a bunch of nice items from the Dragons, including the Mumyo Sword (best sword for Citan), Blessed Habits, and Kaiser Helms.

   To get out of the desert, go south one screen, east three, then north one. You'll see a weird scene with some jumping Sand Sharks; go north another screen after that and you'll stumble across a cool-looking dragon skeleton. Walk around behind it and jump up the plates on the tailbones to its back. Hop along the ribs to the sword on the front shoulder. Go up to it and draw it; the skeleton will collapse, but you'll get the Yamato Sword. If you've already managed to acquire a Mumyo Sword, though, the Mumyo is better.

   Head west one screen from the skeleton, then south one. You'll end up on top of the sand falls seen at the start. There's two chests you can get here; one has the Kingly Armor, and the other has the Godfather (character version). You can't get both, though, since you have to slide down the falls to get them. The first time, just hold left and slide to the rock with the Kingly Armor chest (don't forget, you can pause the game if you need to see what you're doing). After you get the armor, fall down and you'll have to fight a Wyrm. Kill it with Billy's Ether Guns; it's a pansy. Then repeat the same sequence to get back up to the sand falls again. This time, move right a little and slide onto the first rock in that direction. From here, you can jump-slide from rock to rock until you reach the Godfather.

   Once you've claimed both items, exit to the southwest from the starting area. A Dune Man will call for your help. Go talk to him and he'll ask you to help start his jeep. Push against the keep and keep hitting X to get it start. The Dune Man will then give you a ride out of the desert (note clown car effect).
