    Ian 1485Thanks for doing these. I downloaded the file but ended not using them as it unlocked at 98%. Went Shifting Sands then a storm went. Got what I could then went back to Joule's Crawler. When going back to Shifting Sands unlocked in loading screen.

    Buachaill DonaFor anyone stuck in the 96-99% range follow the cliff on the eastern side of the map and check lower cliffs. I just found my last 4% over there, after a couple hours running all over the map like a lunatic.

    This is easier with the Definitive Edition.

    Follow either of the other two guides, and that will get you about 97% (without a lot of heavy re-hunting). If you're low, don't worry about it too much.

    Then what you do, is after fighting Victor the first time in Eden Tower, return to the Shifting Sands. You'll have a notification that there can be storms now.

    Once a storm starts (FYI, many purple enemies spawn, so this is a good time to farm), you can fast travel to the crawler or any dungeon. Once you fast travel back to SS, there will be new hardware pickups. Collect to your heart's content.

    If you vote down, please explain in the comments.

    Bandicoot V2Just popped this. I beat Victor then was doing other stuff before moving to shifting sands for my last K9 challenge. A storm came as i was collecting the hardware after my challenge . Was at 56%. So I travelled to my crawler to switch zone. Came back to SS and pop achievement unlocked.

    s3bb86you don't even have to beat the story. I did the first floor of the tower and went back afterwards to do some challenge dungeons. This triggered the on screen message that storms are coming now the first time I got to shifting sands. When I got back after the first storm, the achievment popped without picking up anything. I had about 70-80% progress before.

    EarthboundXI had about 60% of the 250 needed, entered a Shifting Sands dungeon to get the fast travel point. Went back outside and this popped.

    I'm not sure you're correct about new Hardware appearing around Shifting Sands after a sandstorm, I've yet to see any new or extra Hardware pieces appearing in the environment. I believe the zone switches between two different versions after each sandstorm ends, so that may uncover different pieces of Hardware, but it's not adding them.

    OK after playing more that's exactly what it is. After each sandstorm, it switches to the other version of the Shifting Sands. Each one has its own totals for Caches, Cores and Health Boosters, along with its own set of Hardware pickups. Which dungeons you can access is dependent on what version of the Shifting Sands it's on as well.
