The Plain of Burning Sand is a location in Classic II: Dominique's Curse. It consists of ruins with a Greek aesthetic atop a flat, sandy plain. It is reached from the Sheol Foothills and provides access to the watery Megiddo Depths; without the True Sight, the latter area is named the Megiddo Wastes and appears to have a similar sandy environment to this one.
Description[]
The trek through these ruins takes place above ground. The platforming is less important than earlier and the most immediate threat on the ground consists of quicksand, which Dominique has plenty of time to jump out before she sinks into it fully and drowns.
The true threat comes when the quicksand interferes with combat, particularly against the fast-moving Mortes that can spawn in the quicksand itself and the Gieremunds that can run down to it while chasing Dominique. Other enemies present here during the New Moon include Lance Armors, Scythe Mites, and a Wall Dragon. The Dead Moon adds Silver Wolfmen and replaces the Scythe Mites with more numerous Ghosts.
