Dark Sun: Shattered Lands Walkthrough

14. White Sands

The serf will thank you as you arrive in this region at 1, and will also humiliate you and talk big about himself. As he starts to walk away, he’s one-shotted by a Bulette, which will then turn its attention to you. You should still be Enlarged and Strengthened from the fields, so this will be a quick encounter.

Weirdly, the serf doesn’t leave behind a body, but there is a dead body in your vicinity to examine. You will get and read a scroll that talks about war preparations and a prophecy. You can discard the scroll after you’ve read it; it has no value other than giving you background information.

Egrus will approach you and tell you to ignore the scroll’s contents. He can give you directions to the nearest village, Teaquetzl, but has nothing else useful to say. You can rest at 2 if you wish.

From now on, monsters can spawn anywhere whenever you arrive at a different map. There are a few safe maps, but not many. Whether you choose to engage or avoid (if possible) is up to you.

14.1. Laussa & Ssovan

Roaming around 3 (or actually anywhere in the vast northern and eastern regions) is Laussa, who wants to find a new tribe she can belong to. Locate her and get her full story. This is a really simple quest but it requires a little back-and-forth between two maps, so let’s make our initial trip to Nazca Lines.

Exit the map via the west at 4 to reach Nazca Lines at 1. Ssovan and his dust devil are roaming around 2. Go through all of Ssovan’s dialogue and each party member will get 500xp. Now return to Laussa and tell her you’ve found a new chief. Talk to her as much as you wish, but don’t demand a reward. Say friendship is enough.

If you want to delay completion of Laussa’s quest even more, you can complete everything else in Nazca Lines on your first trip. You can return to Nazca Lines much later to complete Laussa’s quest when we are ready to go either south or west of there.

Turn animations off, watch her leave the map to the west (otherwise she will be stuck here and we’ll need to wait later for her to leave), then exit at 5 to reach Teaquetzl. We’ll conclude Laussa’s quest when we return to Nazca Lines later.
