The sandstorm is one of the weather challenges and status effects you will face throughout Hyboria in Conan Exiles. It is very important that you prepare for the sandstorm, as it will kill you.
How to tell if a sandstorm is coming?[]
If graphics are set to High, you will see small shadows flying across the ground. This is flying debris from the front of the storm.[2]
Four options for survival[]
- Use the environment. Caves and natural crevices provide the player with a fully-filled Shelter icon.
- Having a high amount of Health and Armor will allow you to survive for some time.
- Build shelter, such as tents, which will provide protection from the winds and sand.
- Craft a
Sandstorm Breathing Mask, 
Setite Mask, 
Yoggite Chosen Mask, Mask of the Witch Doctor, 
Commander's Helmet, 
Chilled Godbreaker Helmet or Godbreaker Helmet. These will allow you to breathe and explore in the sandstorm.
Notes[]
- The sandstorm covers most of the desert and some of the edges of the adjacent biomes.[3]
