In this video, we take care of the goings on in the Sand Kingdom for good.
The Hole in the Desert
You'll need to head back to where the Inverted Pyramid was, which is the northeastern corner of the kingdom. There will be a hole there, and you'll need to go down it. This will take you to the Underground Temple. Be ready to create energy rings with those devices from earlier in the kingdom to break some blocks that are in your way.
By taking control of a Goomba, you will not be able to slip on the ice, even when you are holding the Y button to move faster. Also, by jumping on top of a Goomba with another Goomba, you can create a Goomba stack. This can allow you to reach higher areas when you de-possess the stack, assuming the stack is high enough to reach them.
You'll eventually have to de-possess the Goomba stack in order to ride a Bullet Bill to the end. Just watch out for the moving columns as you might the flight across and you should be okay. This will take you to the Deepest Underground. Possess a Bullet Bill to head towards the sandy arena where you will face Knucklotec. Remember that glass pyramid looking deal that we saw in the desert with the Multi-Moon? That was his head. Knucklotec will think that you took the Binding Band from the podium across from where you entered, then fight you.
You'll need to avoid the fists as they smash the ground. If the hands hit one of the many diamonds on the ground, they will get smashed. Possess the hand, then hold Y and avoid the diamonds that the other hand tosses as you run right into Knucklotec's face. It can be a little difficult, as the free hand can sometimes change positions to block you with a projectile attack, but if you move wildly enough, you can make it to the face quickly enough.
Any diamonds with Hearts in them can be smashed by the hands to release the hearts if you need the health. Just stand there and move out of the way before the hand hits the ground.
After each hit, Knucklotec will create some diamonds that will land on the ground and become buried in the sand. Avoid those diamonds, and repeat the process. After the second hit, you'll need to avoid the fists when Knucklotec launches them at you from far away. When he has his hands up, open and to the sides, move up and down as you move around the arena so you don't get clapped. You'll soon be able to defeat Knucklotec on the third hit and get Power Moon #4 (see below).
After getting this Multi-Moon, the ice crystals will be gone and the weather will be back to normal. As a result, some things that were frozen before will be thawed out, and more of the kingdom will be opened up. From here, you can finally throw your hat into the globe on the Odyssey and cash in your Power Moons. However, we will spend some more time here in order to get some more Power Moons, which I will mention on the list below.
Power Moons
4. The Hole in the Desert - Defeat Knucklotec after going into the hole underneath the Inverted Pyramid and following the path.
16. Where the Birds Gather - There is a small mount of sand with some birds on it in the Desert Oasis in the southeast corner of the kingdom. Ground pounding it will get you this Power Moon.
32. Taking Notes: Jump on the Palm - At the Desert Oasis in the southeast corner of the map, there is a rainbow colored treble clef. Climb up the tree and grab it, then grab all six notes before they disappear to get this Power Moon.
34. Fishing in the Oasis - By possessing the Lakitu, you can go fishing. You'll want to press Y to raise and lower the line, and you'll want to press Y right when the big fish-shaped shadow starts getting super close to the hook. Getting the timing on this will take some trial and error, as you can see. If you time it right, you'll see Lakitu from a different angle, and you'll be told to reel the line in with the left stick or by shaking the controller. I recommend shaking your Pro Controller and/or Joycons to do this. The small fish give you Hearts, but the big one gives you a Power Moon.
47. Underground Treasure Chest - By possessing a Bullet Bill here and taking it to the right, you can find a path leading to a bunch of coins. There is another path on a narrow walkway with some invisible blocks to hit at the end. Hit those, then go upwards to find a chest containing a Power Moon.
48. Goomba Tower Assembly - In the Underground Temple, the first stack of Goombas you can possess with your cap will be able to reach this Power Moon. Just stand under it, then press ZL or ZR to get Mario to come out and grab the Power Moon in the process.
