Gaston's Encampment^[1]

Gaston's encampment in a west offshoot region of The Plains, the entrance to which is in a tunnel next to a fishing body of "water" (sand). The ramp down to the right leads to Gaston's Encampment, while the ramp up to the left leads to the northwest tip of The Oasis. This area is considered part of The Plains, and the Classic Cobra can sometimes be found here.

Cave of Wonders

Main article: Cave of Wonders

Critters

Cobras are the Critter type in this Biome. Their favorite food is Egg, and they also like Dairy and Oil Ingredients as they are categorized while Cooking^[1]. In order to unlock them as a Companion, Cobras must be successfully fed loved or liked foods 3 times.

Their feeding method is Playing Red Light, Green Light. Watch their body language, and approach when they are relaxed. When they are alert, with their head up, remain still - otherwise, the Critter will move to a new location within the region.

Each color of critter follows a specific schedule - only appearing during certain times on specific days of the week. Some rare critters spawn on one specific day of the week for a window of only six hours. However, these rarer critters do not require any additional feedings to unlock - they just have more limited availability.

Unlock Dialogue

Unlock The Wastes

Player, I see you've found another mysterious Time Rift. This too is connected to the magic of your Hourglass.

Channel the magical Mist within it to mend this wound in time and space...

When you do, you can explore another area of the Glittering Dunes... the Wastes!

→ I'll channel the magic of the Hourglass... (Use 4,000)
	Splendid, Player! You can now visit the Wastes -- a desert blinded by a blistering sun. Eh, you might want to bring a hat.

→ I'm not quite ready yet...
	What?! No, no. There's no time to waste! We have far too much to explore here.
