Overview
A windswept expanse of broken steps and exposed ledges reached from Shellwood. Expect strong gusts that change jump distance, burrowing sand threats below, and occasional long gaps where timing matters.
Map Highlights
- Benches: Staggered along main paths to anchor progress after windy sections.
- Bell travel: Activate a nearby station once available to cut backtracking.
- Map vendor: Shakra camps off the core path; see the reach + map guide.
Hazards & Traversal
- Gust timing: Wait for a strong gust before long leaps (notably the hanging chain gap). Short hops and ledge holds prevent over‑commitment.
- Sand burrowers: Avoid lingering on dunes; clear aerial threats before attempting windy jumps.
- Recovery: Claim the first bench before exploring side paths.
Route Tips
- Approach: Enter from Shellwood’s upper routes; prioritize the bench first.
- Updrafts: Control jump height and drift to align with gusts.
- Linking routes: Connects well to Far Fields and mid‑game paths.
