This page offers a guide on how to complete the main quest, The Show Must Go On in My Time at Sandrock.

Before you can take on this quest, you’ll need to have completed Picking Up the Slack and also experienced your first sandstorm.

Stage Support or Stage Backdrop?¶

The next day after the sandstorm, Mi-an will greet you outside and ask you to follow her over to the stage outside of the Blue Moon Saloon.

When you arrive, Matilda and Owen, the owner of the Blue Moon Saloon, will explain that the stage has been trashed during the storm. You’ll then be given the option to decide to rebuild either the Stage Backdrop or the Stage Support.

If you’re not sure which to pick, head over to our page on whether you should choose the Stage Support or Stage Backdrop. There’s no huge consequences to building either, except that the build themselves are different. It would seem that the Stage Support is the easier of the two builds, but not by a whole lot so it’s basically down to player preference.

Once you’ve chosen your desired build, Mi-an will opt to build the other. Before you can build your chosen part of the stage, you’ll need to first make a Bronze Pickhammer so you can recycle the old stage. The wood is tough and your current pickhammer just won’t do!

To make the Bronze Pickhammer, you’ll need x5 Bronze Bars, x2 Wooden Sticks, x2 Copper Screws and x1 Sharpening Stone. You can make a Bronze Pickhammer on the worktable, and you’ll need to have one to progress in the main quest, The Show Must Go On. You can make one before this quest if you want, though!
