User blog:WITHERBOSS 963/The Glass Desert

As you all know, the location of the glass desert is a much-debated topic. Where will it be? Most people think it will be at the end of the Feral Rock canyon. For a while I thought this too. However, I have realised some things about that area and the glass desert's references. There are two main things I have realised:

1: The area at the end of Feral Rock Canyon has coral tubes.These tubes look just like the ones in the first area of the dry reef that only spawns pink slimes. This does not look markedly different, then. However, look at the pronounced differences between the dry reef, the moss blanket, and the indigo quarry. And indeed, in 0.4.0, there will be zone expansions to the existing zones.

2: The smoke, fire and mirrors achievement (for discovering the glass desert) is a gold medal. However, the on the other side and mine, all mine achievements (for discovering the moss blanket and the indigo quarry) are silver medals. This is because the moss blanket requires only one slime key (so the indigo quarry is likely to be the same). However, because smoke, fire and mirrors achievement is gold, I think you will need two slime keys. I don't know about the indigo quarry, but the moss blanket has a slime gate at the other end, by the teleporter. And a slime key is required to get into the moss blanket. Two slime keys. So that is where I think the glass desert will be. And for all of you who say 'A desert wouldn't be after a jungle', just look at the Brazilian Amazon and tha Caatinga, or the fade into the Congo Basin from the Sahara.
