The Yucca Desert (アドベント, Advent Desert in Mother) is an area in EarthBound Beginnings. It is found to the east of Duncan Factory and Union Station, and north of Merrysville. The fifth melody is found here by using Telepathy on a peculiar-looking cactus. The Ruins of Desert is found in the eastern part of the desert. In the centre of the desert there is an oasis and a tent. A war veteran lives here, and he will allow Ninten and friends to ride his plane. Doing so enough times will allow them to drive his tank. While in the tank, the optional boss R•7037 can be fought.
