On his neverending quest to find the MacGuffin, Hero Bob must cross a desert wasteland. Expect there to be scorpions, cacti, a few Ribcage Ridges, and maybe even a Sand Worm or two. A sandstorm is also likely. For whatever reason, rather than travel during the night, Bob will nearly always travel starting at high noon, though this can be justified by the planet having multiple suns, or the desert having some kind of curse, or what have you. If Bob's travelling with Alice, Carol, and Dave, expect at least one of them to suffer from heat stroke, and another to see a Hollywood Mirage. May be a Thirsty Desert. Watch out if so. In times of war, Desert Warfare can often overlap with this for any belligerent faction trying to cross through here. Contrast Braving the Blizzard in temperature. In Video Games, the setting itself will have some or all the traits of the Shifting Sand Land, and there'll usually be some aversion of Gameplay and Story Segregation, either by way of taking damage due to the extreme heat, or getting lost easily due to each screen looking nearly, if not completely, identical. |

In the Ranma ½ anime (but not manga) Genma once had to cross a desert (somewhere) with baby Ranma on his back. When he ran out of water he traded Ranma to a (well fed) stranger for a bowl of rice and some fish to eat (after the stranger fed Ranma Genma stole him back). And thus Ranma gained another fiancée. | |

In The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, most of the Gerudo region is a huge, dangerous desert that Link must brave to reach Gerudo Town, and eventually the Sacred Beast Vah Naboris. Local dangers include sandstorms which block your view and disables the map, various enemies, and scorching heat that damages Link if he's not prepared for it with proper equipment or meals. | |

Golden Sun and Golden Sun: The Lost Age require crossing a desert three times across two games, corresponding to the real-world Taklamakan, Sahara, and Australian deserts. The first one requires you to use the Reveal Psynergy to find hidden oases or risk taking massive damage. The second just has tornadoes that will send you back to the start of the level if you don't know how to reveal the giant lizard causing them (and one tornado hides the path to the game's Superboss). The third time has lots of jumping around and steppes. | |

At the end of Marvel Feature #11, the Thing is stranded in the desert and must walk back home. The following issue begins with him still stranded in the desert and coming across Iron Man, who ignores the Fantastic Four member because he's too busy hunting Thanos. After a fight with the Blood Brothers, the Thing asks Ol' Shellhead if he can help him reach New York, but the fight drained the majority of Iron Man's power, preventing him from helping Ben. The first issue of Marvel Two-in-One has the Thing finally reach a bus stop, but he decides to pay a visit to Man-Thing in order to complain about ripping off his name before going back to New York. | |

Fullmetal Alchemist: It isn't exactly seen, but both Ling and May Chang cross a desert. A downplayed example in Fullmetal Alchemist (2003), when Ed and Al have to slog through some desert to get to Liore. Ed's hungry, and complains about the sand, since if there was at least some grass he could transmute it to bread. They reach civilization soon enough, however, and Ed is able to stop at a street cafe for refreshment. |

In the zone Tanaris in World of Warcraft, one can find the scattered remnants of a caravan.The evidence suggests a long, drawn out and grisly end for the caravan members. This implies that the zone very much is this trope, although it averts Shifting Sand Land. NPC dialog confirms this idea: including talk about carrying water and the local trolls threatening to drink your blood a la Dune. | |

The Illustrated Star Wars Universe: In the Tatooine chapter, Senior Anthropologist Hoole eventually gives up on learning about the desert from moisture farmers and water prospectors, and simply walks off into the Dune Sea. Astonishingly enough, he survives unassisted, observing the animals of the surrounding desert until he finds shelter at Jabba's palace. Of course, as a Shi'ido shapeshifter, Hoole has the ability to assume a wide variety of forms adapted for life in the desert, so he has the advantage over most travelers. | |

The Legend of Zelda: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time has the Gerudo Desert which you must cross in order to get to the last temple, the Spirit Temple. If you get lost, you have to start over. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess has the Gerudo Mesa, a large and treacherous desert that Link and Midna must cross to reach the Arbiter's Grounds. In The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, most of the Gerudo region is a huge, dangerous desert that Link must brave to reach Gerudo Town, and eventually the Sacred Beast Vah Naboris. Local dangers include sandstorms which block your view and disables the map, various enemies, and scorching heat that damages Link if he's not prepared for it with proper equipment or meals. |

Frodo and Sam cross a very Thirsty Desert of northern Mordor on the last leg of their journey to destroy the One Ring. The narration explains this part of Mordor is pretty much uninhabited because of the lack of water, and the hobbits only manage to survive thanks to the cisterns Sauron has had built for his troops. | |

Star Trek Star Trek: The Next Generation: In "Final Mission" Picard and Wesley hitch a ride on Captain Dirgo's shuttle to Pentarus V so Picard can mediate a dispute. Dirgo's shuttle crashes on a desert moon, forcing the three men to cross a desert to a mountain range and some shelter. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: In "Shadows and Symbols" Benjamin Sisko, Jake, Joseph, and Ezri Dax make their ways across the deserts on the planet Tyree to find a hidden Bajoran Orb. Star Trek: Enterprise: Naturally this happens in the episode "Desert Crossing". It again happens in the episode "The Forge" as Archer and T'Pol are forced to cross the harsh Vulcan desert. |

The entire second half of Final Fantasy VI may qualify, since the face of the planet has become a barren wasteland due to the actions of an Axe-Crazy power mad lunatic. Applies most literally when the heroes have to make their way to the Very Definitely Final Dungeon. Fortunately, they are able to procure a Cool Airship fairly quickly, significantly reducing the usual headaches associated with this trope. | |

A downplayed example in Fullmetal Alchemist (2003), when Ed and Al have to slog through some desert to get to Liore. Ed's hungry, and complains about the sand, since if there was at least some grass he could transmute it to bread. They reach civilization soon enough, however, and Ed is able to stop at a street cafe for refreshment. | |

In Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception, there's a chapter where you do nothing else. Unusually for a shooter game, the chapter contains no enemies at all - the only danger Nathan Drake faces is being hopelessly, pathetically lost in one of the world's largest deserts, the Rub' Al Khali, with no supplies, no help, no company and no idea where he's headed, weakening from dehydration and sunstroke. As days pass, Nate is reduced to staggering and then crawling before he begins hallucinating. He does try to navigate by the stars, but he just never learned how. | |

In Dragonsphere adventure you need to travel to a certain location in the desert and back. If you make a wrong turn, you run out of water and die. There is a local inhabitant — Soptusnote their people is hinted to be The Greys stranded on a Medieval European Fantasy planet — willing to give directions, but he doesn't speak your language, and your understanding of his is rudimentary. The biggest problem: he may mistake you for suicidal and give you directions to a volcano that kills you instantly (Soptus version of a suicide booth). | |

Although several Pokémon games have desert areas, crossing the desert starts being plot-critical in Pokémon Black and White and Pokémon Black 2 and White 2. In the first one, you have to go to the Desert Resort to battle Team Plasma and meet Professor Juniper, and in both games, the Desert Resort area is home to Volcarona (although in the sequels, it's only accessible via underground tunnels). Although you aren't harmed by the constant sandstorm, any battles will involve any non-immune mons being hit by the sandstorm and losing a little HP each turn. It also becomes mandatory in Pokémon X and Y to get from Coumarine to Lumiose. You'll deal with Pokémon that attack you from underground, intermittent gusts that disrupt your ability to move, and a power plant under attack by Team Flare. |

Played with in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure in the third arc, where the group has to cross the Arabian peninsula on foot. Joseph, an experienced traveler, is smart enough to have purchased some camels to ride, plenty of extra water provisions, and has the sense to travel in the evening rather than the middle of the day. Unfortunately, an enemy Stand user has a Stand that acts like a super-intense sun, meaning they get the full blast of desert heat even in the middle of the night. | |

In Space Quest I: The Sarien Encounter, the desert of Kerona is inhabited by sand worms that swallow whole those who try to travel on foot, so the only way to reach the settlement of Ulence Flats is via skimmer. | |

Paul and Jessica again in 2021's Dune in order to reach the Fremen. They try to use the Fremen "dance" walk to avoid attracting Sand Worms, but it's to little effect. Liet-Kynes is stabbed by the Sardaukar before she can ride a worm to do that. In Dune: Part Two, Paul learns the ways of the Fremen, which includes riding said sand worms. | |

Brutha crossed the desert from Ephebe to Om with Vorbis on his back in Small Gods. Om continually insists on dumping Vorbis, because it's what Vorbis would do and also what he deserves. Brutha refuses, "because I'm me." There is also the metaphysical crossing of the desert; dead souls are taken to the black desert by Death, and they then must cross it and they then go to the afterlife they believed in. And Vorbis's disproving of the concept that no army could cross the desert: they could, if you do it in stages, don't care how many people die in the process, and start long before your pretext for war is in place. | |

The "traveling by day" bit is averted in an early ElfQuest, where after travelling through the troll caverns the Wolfriders get thrown out into the desert (although initially they're not sure whether the desert sun is the same one they had at home, or whether it will set or not). | |

More than one installment of the Fighting Fantasy gamebooks: Temple of Terror: The titular Temple is located in the ruins of the destroyed city of Vatos, which is located in the heart of the Desert of Skulls. Your quest entails you to cross said desert - filled with giant Sand Worms, sandstorms, and all kinds of hazards. Master of Chaos have you traversing a desert in order to reach the city of Ashkyos, but luckily you can purchase a camel as your transport if you have enough gold. Curse of the Mummy have you searching for the tomb of Ankharis, located in the Djarat Desert, which is infested with all sorts of monsters and poisonous insects. Battleblade Warrior has a very short scene at the beginning of your quest, where you and your partner, a tracker named Katya, will have to bypass a desert to find the Temple of Telak. |
