The Forgotten Desert Walkthrough

Hey animals! I'm back and ready to show you this walkthrough of The Forgotten Desert with tips and cheats!

Special thanks to my brother who let me borrow his account to play and take screenshots for all y'all at AJ Stream! ;)

He deserves a cookie – no wait, 20 cookies!

This adventure was really confusing for me at first, but if you go to Liza and talk to her multiple times, she'll eventually spill the beans on how exactly to get the crystals. 

Here are some important tips from Liza, before we begin:

Missing these are the things that make this adventure incredibly hard. Read them carefully and commit them to memory!

...Oh, or you can just write them down. But writing is for nerds, just so you know! Don't pick up that pen or you'll grow buck teeth and a fluffy tail and –

Wait. The word I meant is squirrel. Don't write or you'll become a squirrel.

Wait, that doesn't make any sense. Oh, never mind. On with the walkthrough!

You are in what can be described as the middle of nowhere. No animals are seen, fish especially. The only movement you hear is the shifting of the sand beneath your talons and the groaning of old, mangled trees. The air is sinister and you know phantoms have been here recently, overrunning the quiet desert with darkness, which is so thick it might as well have a scent. You listen to Liza.

You start out next to Liza perched expertly on the top of a very thin rock that looks like it will break any second. (Liza is a panda, so...) 

Apparently, phantoms have hidden shards of a very important crystal in this desert instead of destroying them. It's up to you to find them, but the desert is so vast and nothing pops out... you could be going in circles for all 17 minutes... but luckily, you have a map with you. 

Its actually very important to look through every single area on the map, but a little hint: you won't find a single crystal in the clouds or even around the clouds. Still, sometimes cloud patches lead to large rivers with water crystals and earth crystals nearby, and rocks and cacti with golden talon prints. Keep a lookout for ANYTHING golden, and be sure you scale the whole area without missing ANYTHING!

What I did is outline the entire area of the map and fill it all in, like a coloring book. Let's call this the coloring book method, shall we? I'm gonna put a little ™ next to "coloring book method" so you know who invented it. 

Getting a little too full of myself...

Anyway, it's important that you scale the entire area with your eagle eye, and if you're not in a hurry, pick up any and all gems you see. That will give you more prizes, and some can be so extremely rare that people would trade so, so much for them.

Remember: you have more than enough time. Don't rush and keep calm! To get the rarest prizes, focus on only collecting the purple crystals. To do that, find large rock formations with gold talon prints.

Here are some screenshots:

 A graveyard? Spoooooky... And suspicious... 

What if crystals are in the graves, hidden by phantoms because they know we'll never think to dig up a grave?

Ok, this walkthrough just took a very dark turn. Moving on!

This is how you get the purple crystal. You need three or four others to perch where the talon prints are. A purple crystal will pop up for you to collect.

It can be a little hard at first, but it will pay off well! Some prizes include beta sewing machines, weird new items (like a spinning horse disk), and so much more. 

Thats all for now,

see you in Jamaa, my eagle friends!
