Desert — Best Eggs

Desert asks for around 10K Speed and pays noticeably better than Lake. It is the first zone where a single good hatch can fund several Treadmill upgrades, and the first where the Mythic tier appears in the egg pool.

How to use this

  1. Learn the shape before you travel

    Tap the Royal Sphinx image above to open it full screen and zoom in. Colours change between spawns but the shape does not, so the silhouette is what you are matching in game.

  2. Check your Speed against the egg, not the area

    10K Speed gets you into Desert. Getting back out with a large egg is the harder half, because bigger eggs are heavier and slow you down.

  3. Take the runner-up rather than nothing

    Scorpion is the second-best egg in the area at $18.5K/s. If the Royal Sphinx nest is empty, it is a better use of a reset than leaving with nothing.

  4. Come back after the reset

    Eggs reset every 5 minutes. If you are hunting one specific egg and it is not there, waiting out the reset is usually faster than running to a different area.
