The majority of these pupae are buried under breakable boulders known as weathered rocks, which are located primarily in the southeast portion of the desert. To break the rock, you must first draw in roaming wenuts and then use their attack to break it and reveal the Sand Grease Pupa underneath.

The Wenut Tunnels are the best place to get a lot of Sand Grease Pupae in one location. This farming route will lead you to hidden cavern in these tunnels, but we'll show you how to get in there too!
Find the path from the cavern with the Stonehide Lawachurl where a small stone pile is located. Investigate this stone pile to make the floor give way and open a path to a larger cavern full of puzzles below!
Beware of the Consecrated Scorpion enemy located at the center of this cavern!
