Are you found in the water-palm tree area?
(My brain is too tired to remember what that's called...)
I can't get mirage out of my head haahhahaha

EDIT: Oasis

Heh. Yes, a mirage is what happens when you find the Dead King Arthur in the desert. (Or when a Mirage Jet fighter plane passes overhead).

Off-topic: I wouldn't be surprised if someone, somewhere, saw the fighter plane in the game and started ranting about how the game should be BANNED for promoting WAR and MURDER and so on ... y'know, completely missing the point that it's there because the game was made in 1992, only a year after the first Gulf War.

Sorry to go on about this. But I'm sure such people exist.

No

Oh. Then you're not on the screens that contain Merv the Griffin, the Dervish, or Al Scurva (Ad Avis's pupil) ... or the healer-tree (that gives you the fruit).

But you're in the desert area. Hmm.

Are you a monster?

No

Oh, come on.

In the desert, but not an interesting-shaped rock. Not the sun. The hero doesn't need to be on your screen to complete any quests (or side-quests). Not a monster, or an Easter Egg.

There's nothing left!!

Are you one of the rocks that the hero picks up and throws?

New clue:
I am found between places.

Hrm.

Are you found in an alleyway?

NBS said he can be found in the desert. And that's why I'm confused.

Are you up in the sky? (Ever so high?)

Well cities are in the desert.

There are two different cities. Cut scenes. Intros and outtros.

Hey, what did I miss?
I was between assignments
I am full of gas

... this is a wild, wild, wild, wild guess.

So you said it makes sense in another game. Which can be this item could be used in another game, or that it doesn't fit this game.

They "Hey, what did I miss?"

Makes me think of something...

But I can't piece the next two clues into it?

But the "What did I miss?"

Reminds me when you step out during a movie (to pee... or poop... maybe that's the gas?...)

And come back and whisper, "Hey, what did I miss?"

So... are you the Intermission sign?

Why does this remind me so much of this classic film? (Hands up if you've seen it, or heard of it!) *sticks hand up*

I think you may be right, but I'll be damned if I know how the "I was between assignments" line fits in ... unless it has something to do with the hero beating everyone up. (Because he does it between saving Shapier and saving Rasier? But that sounds like a long shot).

Also, NBS said that he is in the desert area ... and the Intermission Sign doesn't happen in the desert. It doesn't happen anywhere. There's no backdrop (like Shapier, or desert, etc.) for it. It's just a bit of goofiness the Coles threw in.

If the Intermission Sign happens in the desert, then so (arguably) does the USS Enterprise, because it flies over the mountains, which are in the desert.

But I can't think of anything else ... except ... wait-a-minute. Are you the huge pile of brigands-on-sauruses (saurii?) that the hero stands on while claiming victory?

He said something like, "I am going to say yes" As in, "Yes, because it's amid the desert scene..."

That is exactly why I asked if it was an Easter Egg - because my thought was it could be that.
Gas to propel the ship, in between means, in between episodes, perhaps.

There's one more thing I can think of, potentially....

Ummmm.... not quite.

New clue:
More specific.

Aha ... I think I know now what you are (even though I'm not sure how the clues fit in). But Tawm did the hard work with that wild guess, so I'll let him guess.

I've no idea, so feel free to guess.

I am going to go with - are you one of the stars? They're full of gas.

I just can't figure out how the rest ties in.
