Sand Dunes
Food in the desert is so scare that there is fierce competition between mice over it. Watch out for the vicious grublings in this area, who hoard food and Garden Essences like no other mouse!
Description and Requirements
The Sand Dunes is a location in the Sandtail Desert region requiring a minimum rank of Baron and the Living Garden Key to enter.
After capturing Carmine the Apothecary in the Living Garden the hunter is transferred to a different version of the location, the Twisted Garden. This also will allow travel to the alternate version of the Lost City, the Cursed City, and the alternate version of the Sand Dunes, the Sand Crypts. If the Hunter switches to an incorrect cheese at any time, or runs out of the correct cheese for the twisted versions of these locations, the Hunter will be immediately returned to the normal versions of these locations.

Hunting Strategy
Hunting tips by Larry
I hope you managed to build up a large collection of Dewthief Camembert, hunter. The mice in these dunes don't seem to like anything else! And be sure to arm your most powerful Shadow trap, as not only will delicious Dewthief attract the mice, but so will the promise of shade from the sun.
There's a lot of competition for food here in the empty desert, and the top competitor is the Grubling Mouse. They dash from food source to food source, gobbling up anything they can find when they get there.
You can take advantage of this by purchasing and using Grubling Chow Charms when there's a grubling warning in effect. Catching Grublings will help you immensely, since they tend to hoard Garden Essences in their attempts to find food.
Or is there perhaps a more sinister reason...?
