Falling down

Once all of the Sand Hogs had been taken care of, I started heading in the direction of the red dot on the map.

I didn't head in that direction before because I wanted to see what the taboo zone, the Tarask Desert contained.

After fighting these Sand Hogs, I had a good idea of what was inside of this desert and didn't want to waste any more time. After all, there was a time limit to the talisman that I was using.

It was a talisman, so it only had a certain amount of energy before running out.

It wasn't as if I was able to use it forever.

Even if I had more of them, I didn't want to use them all up here since there was no telling what would happen later.

As I headed in the direction of the red dot on the map, I could tell that the sandstorm was getting stronger. It was almost as if I was heading towards the source of the sandstorm.
