There is a section on Bikanel Island that is protected by a sandstorm.
It just happens to be the Village of the Cactuars and in order to get in you must find and defeat the 10 cactuar guardians.
To start the sidequest, examine the stone with the cactuar symbol on it to the south of the village.
You'll get a series of clues to the location of the guardians.
Once you find them, you'll play a little mini-game where you must sneak up on the cactuar while its back is turned.
If you reach them before the time limit expires, you'll have to fight them.
They won't run away, but they will use 10,000 Needles on you a lot.
For winning the battle, you'll receive a sphere named after the guardian cactuar.
If you don't reach it within the time limit, you'll get a Sphere del Perdedor instead.
Either way, you must return to the stone each time to place the sphere in it and receive the next clue.

Inside the village are two chests, one has the Mercury Sigil and the other has a prize
dependant on how many named spheres you obtained from the guardian cactuars.
