Tips
  • The D-Pad function was removed by UbiSoft, making movements less precise compared to analog sticks.
  • Sand Field #16 is located beside the wild animal "cage", left of the rock/clay platform where you have to reach for the lever to open the gate.
  • Sand Field (potentially increasing your Sand Tank count to 6 or more).
