Yeah you can't really say no sandy plains = no barroth, remember we're getting Lagiacrus and Plesioth with no water. If the sandy plains doesn't come back then Barroth will probably just use the water in area 3 of the dunes or, as has already been mentioned, the water in the deserted isle like it did in 3U.
