Traffic Jam

Trace your steps back to Threed and you'll find that the zombies have been neutralized. You can actually find them in a cage at the circus tent.

This also means that the ghosts are no longer haunting the tunnels leading in and out of town.

Just north of the circus tent you'll see a buss stop.

Check the sign south of the road and the buss will arrive shortly after.

The buss driver says he'll take you to Fourside.

Along the way you'll see a few changes of scenery.

Eventually you will arrive in a desert area where it looks like there has been some kind of accident.

The buss driver will leave you to make the next leg of the trip on your own.

Right near where you were dropped off you'll see a Drug Store with some updated items and a few perishable items that you'll want to pick up.

Specifically you will want to grab some Wet towels since you and your heroes can get sunstroke due to the intense heat of the desert.

Just north of the Drug Store you'll find the shady guy selling some items for Jeff.

Get some more Bottle rockets since they will likely come in handy here in the desert.

As you head north, be really careful when fighting the Smilin' Spheres. They will explode at the end of the battle and if you're HP is low enough it can knock out some or all of your party.

If anyone becomes unconscious and you do not have any Cup Of Life Noodles or Horn of Life you will have to walk all the way back to the Threed Hospital to revive them.

You'll quickly see how sunstroke and poison are common occurrences as you explore the desert.

Use Healing α or a Wet towel for sunstroke.

Use Healing β or Refreshing Herb to cure poison.

There are several presents around the desert that are worth collecting. Make sure to snag those.

Towards the middle of the desert there is an enemy that spawns called the Criminal Caterpillar. If you see one, run after it!

It will be an instant win and you'll get a large amount of experience points. This can be a good way to get some points fast... however sunstroke can really become an issue over time.

Continuing east, you'll eventually come upon a curious scene.

Talk to the construction worker and he will make you a deal. If you give him some food he will give you gold if he finds it.
