Treasures: Lapis, FullEther x2, Elixir, ArmorAeon Suit, FullTonic, 5000G, HyperEther, HelmetAeon Helm, MuscleRing, HelmetMemory Cap, Power Tab


In this sidequest, you can see some important character development in Robo and Lucca and also help save someone very important to her. Begin by going to 12,000 B.C. and into the commons. There will be a woman with a small sapling next to her. Talk to her and tell her to plant it with hope.

Afterwards, head back to 600 A.D. and talk to Fiona and her husband Marco. It seems the sunken desert is draining the soil. It's time to go in and save the forest!

When you fall in the Sunken Desert, it's a big pit of moving sand. There's nothing really too difficult here - the enemies are weak. Just grab all the treasures here (including the Power Tab) and exit off to the south.

Here, there is a giant skeleton reminiscent of Zombor on the Zenan Bridge. There are tons of treasures around, but you might have to fight this guy before you can get them all.

Strategy
Marle should be casting OIce 2 every turn to continuously lower Retinite's defense. Ayla should use Triple Kick and Crono should use Confuse. After defeating the orb in the middle, focus on the head, and then finally the legs. He's time-consuming and can beat you up.

Once you've won, leave the Sunken Desert, put Robo in your party, and talk to Fiona. Robo will ask to stay behind and help Fiona work on the forest. Do so, and then go to 1000 A.D. There will be a shrine in the place of Fiona's house. People here give thanks to Fiona and Robo for replanting the forest. There's also a nun selling protective helmets.

Go to the top of the Shrine and pull Robo off of the podium. After reactivating him, you'll all go to a forest and have a camp out where you get philosophical about time and places you'd like to return to. Lucca is hiding something in her past, and during the night she wakes up. Walk east and you'll see a gate, but when you activate it, it's red. You've returned to the point that Lucca was talking about.

Walk downstairs first and check the note on the table - it tells you that the password is the name of Lucca's mom. When you walk outside, a horrible scene will happen. Lara will get trapped in a machine that pulls her closer and closer to it, and young Lucca doesn't know the password! Rush in there and enter it to stop the machine. When you push the glimmery light, enter L A R A and the machine will stop. Now, when you return to Lucca's house, Lara will be walking around and happy. Robo, upon return to the forest, will give Lucca a GreenDream.
