Desert Palace

Desert Palace is a location on the Outer Continent in Final Fantasy IX. It stands in Triquai Plains, so that is the stretch of world map you cross to reach it. The map below shows where to find it.

The Desert Palace has one entrance on the world map, the cave mouth marked here. The sand pit that swallows the airship is an event on the neighbouring stretch of desert rather than a place of its own, so it is not marked.
