Description

“	A never-ending desert road in the scorching heat of the sunlight. If you fall to the ant lions along the road, it may be difficult to break away...	”
—Description of Shaula Desert in Gematsu site.

Shaula Desert is a desert inhabited by Shaula Ants, a race of giant, semi-anthropomorphic magical ants native in the region alongside other creatures. In addition of being a habitat of some magical creatures, the desert appeared to be a fossil site, as well-preserved skeletons of tyrannosaurids can be seen on the background revealed by occasional sandstorms that took place there.

As shown by the in-game map, the path of Shaula Desert Akko and co. traveled as they fought their way toward an Ant Queen's hive was completely linear like the path toward Cerberus' lair Mountain Ankaa. Certain parts of the area are accessible by jumping into deceptive-looking quicksands which serve as their entrances. It's imperative to have a Water Magic spell or two in one's disposal in order to revitalize the tree at the end of the path to the point of all of its flowers bloom; its dried roots barred the access to Ant Queen's chamber.

Akko and co. ventured into one of Shaula Ants' hives for Searing Sand Spellgem, one of the two spellstones required to activate the Magichron. The Spellgem itself happened to be among treasures hoarded by said hive' Ant Queen, and that they have to defeat her in order to claim it. After defeating the Ant Queen, they retrieved the Spellgem along with other loots include Classic Witch's Robe, the fourth retrieved piece of Molly's Classic Witch Set along with the fragment of her Ghost Witch half within.
