Sandmen are the pivotal players in an extra mission called Sandman's backup bag. In the basement of Sector Antlia, the protagonist can find a Sandman who, after explaining that the bag it carries is figuratively its "soul," asks the protagonist to get back his lent bag. After the protagonist encounters a Sandman and asks for it back, it is revealed the other sandman had simply forgotten to return it. Afterwards, a Chakra Pot is rewarded when the protagonist delivers it to the original Sandman.
