Main Walkthrough

Danger Level: 5 / 8 / 11

One of two little wastelands that serves as a connective point between much nicer areas, the Northern Ryu Sands are located on the outskirts of the threadbare community of Ryu. If you begin the game as Hikari this will serve as your first step into a larger world, and if you want to recruit Hikari, Partitio, and / Agnea, you'll need to go through this area eventually.

The Northern Ryu Sands grants access to Ryu. It also connects to the Canalbrine Bridge in the east, which will eventually lead you to Castti, and to the Southern Orerush Wilds, which is pratically Partitio's front door.

Treasure
  • West of the exit to the Canalbrine Bridge is a much smaller bridge, running north to south through the Northern Ryu Sands. Beside the bridge is a dock that will allow you to sail east, where you'll find a chest containing a Bottle of Befuddling Dust. Sail west, under the bridge, and you'll find a Bone Spear in a chest on the edge of the area.
  • In the northeast is a picturesque oasis and waterfall, complete with rainbow. If you use the dock on the edge of the oasis you can reach the other side, where you'll find a chest containing a Diffusing Serum.
