If you have enough money, there is another method to obtain this rare material, but it's not available for every Flame Lord. Once you have enough pieces of meat, you will have the chance to recruit Nezha to your team. To help you find the massive creatures from which you obtain this material, we've put this guide together explaining where to find sandworm meat in Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave. Where to find sandworm meat in Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave There are two methods to obtain sandworm meat in Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave. The easiest is to buy some in Kira, a settlement in Saveilon, southwest of Aurora's Temple. By visiting the place, you can buy up to five pieces of sandworm meat for 300 gold each. However, this option is not available in Leda's path. If you can't get to Kira, then you should focus on the second method: hunting sandworms.

You earn one piece of sandworm meat for each sandworm you defeat. Although enemies appear randomly on nodes, the best place to find sandworms is in the desert area of Nysiades, west of Dagsion. You can identify which nodes have the enemies by looking for the ones with a sandworm miniature over them. Graphic: Paulo Kawanishi/Polygon | Source images: Intelligent Systems/Nintendo Exploring the desert requires a lot of time, as you can't move through the regular number of spaces as you usually do, and there are no posthouses to travel by carriage. A good strategy is to focus on the nodes west of the Kayen Stronghold, since you need to unlock fewer nodes to return to a regular path. Before you start moving through the desert, check if there are sandworms in nodes on the desert borders, which are quicker to reach. Hunting the desert creatures or traveling to Kira might sound like too much work, but there's no other way if you want to obtain this material and recruit Nezha. You will need three pieces of sandworm meat to convince him to join your group. If you're new to Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave, we can help you navigate the complex paths of causality.
