Sweet. Congrats. I never did master that maze.

It's pretty easy to get to Sandsheer, actually. From the hidden grove, you're basically heading northeast, toward the top edge of the map. It's not the first ladder (which leads to a common entrance to the mold caverns) but the second ladder or so. Take it up, keep going north, and you'll find a round white rock that you need to push. You're basically there.

But now the fun begins. Sandsheer mountains are extremely involving, with lots and lots of caves leading to lots and lots of caves which leads to madness which leads to lots and lots of caves.

It's exactly what it sounds like.

Yes....now where is Sandsheer...man, I've been thru a lot Sandsomething caverns!!!  An ginormous quest!!

 

Also found a maze in Tuton Caves....happen to know the solution??....what the heck...I'll find it the hard way!!

 

DDUD

 

Leads to a heart piece that has been visible since the beginning!!

Sandsheer Dungeon (am all over the place in Saltsand mountain and  caverns).....is there something that would tip me that I am going the right way or something to be looking for to get me to the dungeon; the hookshot ( flying duck?) is the goal at this point in the quest for me and that is in the dungeon

Chief"" remember I told you this is very easy,, when enter go up and take the left door,, everything is to the left

if you see a room to the right that you can't cross,, is C'uz you don't got the boss key yet

I know you'll do it without any help  ,,, use you old experiency on this dungeon .......!

one thing though" if you get issues with a tricky door full of blocks, -need  to come from the bottom side , or let me know!
WOW! Alway wanted to enter this tent.. seem an eternal resting place for those two super heros!! my respects .....!

HOW did you get into the circus tent in Dusted Forest??  I have seen it coming from the north (westmost), but from the south is a new view.....

 

 

I FOUND THE SANDSHEER DUNGEON  (through the Sandsalt Caverns)......there was one pitfall, where if you hugged the top of the screen, you could pass, that made all the difference......HUZZAHHHHH!!!

Sandsheer Dungeon Update : have found 2 keys, the boss key (thanks, ShadowTiger!) and 2 heart pieces....can anyone steer me to the 3rd floor so as to get the hookshot apparatus....I'll keep snoopdoggin' this dungeon in the meantime...I can't be bummed out knowing that the quest can't be finished...it is such a challenge and so rewarding to just find and investigate all the areas....truly is a marvel to behold!!

Hi Chief"" good progress you're doing -need to open the door with those blocks , that's the way

once you grab the hook,  at the same room come back all theway down,, hook on the chest you see or fall down , there's an important item in there""
one question though,, I'm asking that stripped cat to grant me a wish,, on meridian , he challeng me to a race

so far he win all the time,,, what kind of wish he can grant me??... maybe to breath under the water?

Where's the second glove?? need it to fight the boss a ink light and some other places..

Okay. We gotta get some sand into a pit on F-2 so we can cross it so we can hit a button on the room that has the stairs to F-3.

First, get yerself to the right side of F-1. Actually no we don't. Just get to the boss key however you'd like, or even anywhere near the boss key. On the screen to the north of the chest containing that boss key, on the vertical column of blocks on the right side, push the fourth block from the top. It's tan. It can be pushed either left or right. Walk on the warp it reveals. It's actually pretty straightforward from there. You'll kill some enemies and then go left to find a chest in a big ol' empty room with a tan and gray checkerboard pattern.

IMPORTANT: In this big empty room, there are pressure plates that make you "fail" the room. You have to hug the wall counterclockwise from when you enter, then only leave the wall when you're just below the chest. See how some of the tiles have a darker border? Don't touch those.

Anyway, when you get to it, It'll have a blue dot. That's the "trigger" that makes the sand fill the pit. It'll also make the pressure plates descend. You'll see what I mean. That means you've won the game. Well, the room, at least. Small steps, I guess.

[chiefbigcalf]

I know the room that has the chasm that needs to be crossed...I was trying to come up  with some plan to cross....the good Dr. ShadowTiger just gave me a great diagnosis.....let me get'er done!!  Thanx, doc!!

 

Actually, that warp above the boss key chest...leads to an area with another warp which takes you to the 4 rooms in the NE apart from the other rooms on the map for F2....in that warp area, you must fight enmies and doors to the left and the bottom open up, I first went left trying to hug counterclockwise and fell....I am headed back trying to make it clearer...thanks for the help,again

 

 

OK....I did the blue pellet!!

 

and.....have the hookshot!!!

Hello,,.. any body home...??? lol ....  there's any second glove on this game??? any info???

what kind of wish can be granted to me by that stripped cat ??

can I cheat on the race so I can win him..? ---- think I need a piece of rop here!!!

[chiefbigcalf]

Poor Sepiroth, entombed in ice at Snow Cave with only one wing.....the horror!!

 

Went back to Sandsheer to "clean up" - glad I did, there was a whole heart unit using the hookshot in there (same floor as the hookshot).  I got one and a half hearts worth in there....don't suppose there is more??  Only a handful of rooms I didn't get into.

 

Snow Cave - I'm at an impasse....I either need a ladder or some wand device ( I think) to activate some doors....the normal reflect thingies aren't an option...there is a different device in a couple rooms which I thought might be fire triggered but,alas, it needs some new item to activate...I did find one warp by pushing a block  ( that is a favorite device of C-Dawg's, just makes for a lot of pushing and pulling)

 

 

 

KETTLE - I have no idea what to do with General Burnside....there are the blocks with numbers, and you do something to initiate a countdown til he breathes fire....but what to do to deliver any damage points is a complete mystery to me....any clue as to how to go about disposing of this big firey blowhard???  I have no ice weapon; that's another side trek that needs to be completed

Wow Chief" you been wondering around dark and mistery places-- I'm by lake helia , but can't go deep to the bottom since I need some stuff, got flppers, but need some else, maybe a suit? or that cat should grant me the go?? need to try~!!

[chiefbigcalf]

Where did you get flippers????

[C-Dawg]

There are no "flippers."  I used them as climbing gear.  The plan was you get them from the Thief if you choose to help him rather than the Mage, but I don't believe any of that was implemented yet.  So I don't think you can find them.
