Why can’t I see the Beast in the Sand trail?

Direct answer

The Sand VFX trail is a confirmed issue for client players. In co-op, ask whether the host can see it and follow the host and written objective rather than restarting the world.

How to use this answer

This answer resolves one specific player question and is intentionally narrower than the broader quests & progression blockers hub. Start with the direct answer, then verify the installed game or server build before changing progression, equipment, settings or saved-world files.

  1. Read the active objective before using an older walkthrough.
  2. Confirm that the host and every client are on the same build.
  3. Retest the exact trigger before restarting a world or discarding an item.
