The layout of the Fountain and Statues in this area makes things very easy to stumble across, and is a great way to learn how the rest of the Glass Desert will be working. To unlock it, you will need to obtain three rock plorts, (which can be obtained from the rock slimes within the Glass Desert if required) place them in the Rock Slime Statues hidden around the fountain, (pictured on the left) and then find the Ancient Fountain to use the Ancient Water and start restoring the Glass Desert by creating Oases. The first, and by far easiest Ancient Fountain to unlock is the Rock Fountain. The Rock Fountain can be found at the bottom of the ledge from the third Statue. Second Statue is actually facing the third, as shown here. Third Rock Statue can be found up on the opposite ledge from the cliff. Simply walk to the cliff and spin around. Second Rock Statue can be found behind the pillars closest to the cliff. Burst it with 50 units of veggies (Silver Parsinips = 2 units) and grab your final Slime Key, which you can now use to unlock the other Slime Gate in the Desert.įirst Rock Statue is found off to the side of the initial slope. You'll need to do a LOT more parkour to get to this perch, and when you do, you'll be greeted by the Mosaic Gordo. I would recommend starting from the Slime Gate in the area with the Rock Slime Statues to find the Gordo a bit easier, but it can technically be reached by either gate. The final Gordo requires you to have used the Slime Key previously earned from the Dervish Gordo. Where the Mosaic Gordo will be located plugging up the hole. This one is taken from the perch looking down, giving you an idea of the landmarks to look for. Burst it with 50 units of fruit, (Prickle Pears = 2 units) and snag your Slime key. For a bit more context, before you walk through the underpass into the cell with the Rock slimes, look immediately to your left, and you should see the pillars directly under its perch. Located up on a wall in the corner of the 'cell', it's a bit tricky to spot, and even trickier to get to. However, you can actually burst this one first, as it's actually located in the very first open area of the desert. The Dervish Gordo will take a bit more effort to spot, and a TON more effort to get to. Keep your eyes peeled, and you should see a bit of purple peaking over one of the walls. You'll need them for an early Fountain, but they're not common until much further into the desert)Īgain, already popped. (protip: feed some of the Tangle Slimes to get at least 3 plorts. Burst it, and you'll get a quick warp back to your ranch if ya need more materials. The Tangle Gordo requires 50 units of meat, and counts Painted Hens as 2 units. The first Gordo you'll likely come across is the easiest to find, as it's in the most obvious structure in the entire Glass Desert. Unfortunately, I already popped all the Gordos, but this one should be real easy to spot.
