Then, another lone Scarab and three Royal Guards. Next, you are faced with a lone Scarab and two Royal Guards. This is more risky, however.Īfter your first Scarab, you immediately encounter two more.Īfter that, you get another lone Antlion.

Periodically, it will dive underground and tunnel around very quickly. Next, you will encounter two more Antlions. The Antlion will not leave the pit, but it can spit acid at you from a good distance. If you get too close, it will grab you (be careful, the quicksand will draw you in, but you won't die, it only draws you toward the center). It is a large insect that emerges from a quicksand pit. The first enemy you encounter is an Antlion. One of those "X" locations is right in front of the sand castle, so try it out. This allows you to dig up treasures and items that are buried in locations denoted by an "X" on the ground. When you first enter the Desert, you will see the Shovel next to a sand castle. The easiest way to take one out is to walk around it and hit it from behind. If you are directly in front of one, it will try to sting you. A Scorpion moves in a straight line, so you can easily step out of its way. They can be annoying, though they only take one hit to defeat.

They are not part of typical waves of enemies, so you don't have to kill them to proceed. Throughout this and other desert levels, Scorpions will continuously be migrating across the screen in both directions.
