The specks don't really do anything. Just a weird little extra I guess.

Trillionage Sprout

It's now time to take on the third Sanctuary Guardian. Enter the cave to Milky Well and you’ll encounter some new enemies, as long as Ness isn't Mushroomized you should be fine. Follow the path until you reach an entrance to a cave.

Enter and pick up the Coin of Slumber right by the entrance. It’s a small cave and the sanctuary entrance is just to the right, walk up and confront the guardian.

The Trillionage Sprout has a ton of HP and can cause a lot of trouble if the battle drags on, like the other guardians use PSI Specials and PSI Fire to get some good hits in. The little sprouts on the side shouldn't cause any trouble, one PSI Special should do the trick. Once you take it down enter your third sanctuary, Milky Well. Ness will hear his mother's voice telling him to be a thoughtful, strong boy, and your third melody will be recorded with your Sound Stone.

You are done with this area, head back to Saturn Valley, and all the way back to Threed. When you come up from the underground tunnel you’ll notice Threed has become a little brighter.

A few of the townsfolk will be at the entrance to greet and thank you for saving their town. Head toward to the circus tent to get another photo from the Photo-man.

After that, go check the Bus stop sign right above the tent to get a bus to the next location, pay $6 and head to Fourside.

Dusty Dunes Desert

After driving for a while you’ll make it to the Dusty Dunes Desert, the only problem is there is a long traffic jam blocking the buses pass, and the driver tells you to get out and walk the rest of the way.

Head to the drugstore to the left and upgrade your items. Mr. Baseball Bat for Ness, Deluxe fry pan for Paula, and Coin of Slumber for those who need it. You can also talk to the man on the left side to rest, but it’s a bit pricey. With the traffic jam blocking your path to Fourside you’ll have to find another route, start by going up behind the Drugstore, because when you are walking in the sands, it's very hot and you can get Sunstroke. Ness’s healing ability can cure sunstroke if you won't want to buy Wet towels. There is a man behind the Drugstore that will sell you items for Jeff. Go further and you’ll find a monkey over a hole, you can go inside, but it is of no use to you at the moment so keep going further into the desert.

Try to avoid fighting enemies as much as you can, there are a variety of enemies that can Poison you, explode and overwhelm you, fight at your own risk.

First things first, there are a ton of items hidden all over the desert. If you go all the way up north you’ll find a present with a Double burger inside.

Go right and you’ll find a tiny black sesame laying on the ground, talk to it and it will tell you how it wronged a tiny white sesame. When it's finished talking, the Photo-man will come down and take your picture. Go northeast to find a Cup of Lifenoodles. Below and slightly east is an oasis with a Skip Sandwich DX in a present. Head northeast from here to find another Double Burger. Just a bit south of the Double Burger, you'll find a shiny item on the ground, it's a Contact Lens. This will be used in a quest soon  And head even further east to find a PSI caramel. Head east along the shoreline from here to find a Sudden Guts Pill.

If you find a caterpillar wondering around, chase it, it’s a Criminal Caterpillar and it will give a an insane amount of exp.

When you reach the other side of the desert you’ll find a dig site. Talk to the man and give him a food item, he tells you if he ever finds gold he will give it to you.

advertisement

Enter the hut to get a good nights sleep, and also save your progress. If you feel up to it; use this rest spot to train and level up.
You can also walk west from this hut to find a present containing a Big Bottle Rockecan. A bit further west from here, you can find the tiny white sesame. You can talk to it and go back to the black sesame to complete their story, but you'll get no reward.

There is another present in the desert containing 1000 dollars. Go east from the hut, once you can see the tunnel, go down and back west until you reach a sign saying "Desert", go north here and you'll find it.

When you are done you can walk back to the bus stop to get a ride to Fourside or you can walk.
