'''The Dunes South''' is the third realm of [[The Dunes]] and the first zone in the game with '''no safe zones anywhere''' — no pens, no fences, no arrival cage. The tile you land on is already contested. It is home to [[King Scorpia]], who relocated here after the balance pass that removed [[The Dunes West]]'s one-way camp gates.

<div class="kin-note"><span class="kin-note-label">No Safe Zones:</span> Unlike The Dunes West and East, there is nowhere in The Dunes South to stand and be safe. Bring cacti or Health Potion+ — there's no fenced pen to retreat to.</div>

== What's Here ==
{| class="wikitable"
! Feature
! Details
|-
| [[King Scorpia]]
| World boss — 2,500 HP, 12-tile aggro range, respawn timing varies. Top 3 damage dealers get loot.
|-
| [[Giant Scorpion]]s
| 8 pack mobs roaming the realm — one fewer than the east realms, leaving room to fight the boss without standing in other players' aggro.
|-
| Cacti
| Instant 20 HP heal (Dunes-only). Cut with Iron Axe + Woodcutting 20.
|-
| Silver ore nodes
| Mine with Pickaxe (Mining 20 required). Smelt into Silver Ingots. Extremely rare chance to obtain the [[Golem]] pet while mining.
|}

Everything else about The Dunes South matches the rest of The Dunes — same heat mechanic, same open PvP, same full loot on death.

== Getting There ==
* Walk to the '''south edge of [[The Dunes West]]''' and follow the sand track — it runs from the pen all the way down to the new entrance
* Step onto the arrows at the south edge; you land one row into The Dunes South, facing into the sand
* No level requirement — The Dunes have been open to everyone since v5.4. What keeps you out is the heat and full loot, not a level gate

== Getting Back ==
* Return arrows sit on the '''north edge''' of The Dunes South, in the same three columns as the entrance
* Stepping on them returns you to [[The Dunes West]], facing north

== King Scorpia ==
King Scorpia moved here from [[The Dunes West]] once its one-way camp gates were removed. Those gates existed specifically to stop players fighting him from the edge of a safe pen; with no safe zones anywhere in The Dunes South, there's nothing left to hide behind — the same fix, without the rule bolted onto it.

He shares the realm with 8 regular Giant Scorpions, one fewer than the east realms, deliberately leaving room to fight the boss without standing in somebody else's aggro. See [[King Scorpia]] for full encounter details, boss mechanics, and loot table.
