So there I was, getting sucked into Dune: Awakening. Really, survival games have a knack for making you work for every little thing, and finding the Holtzman Amplifier is no exception. It’s supposed to be in some wreck called Alcyon. Yet, there’s no big flashy sign or anything—it’s almost like they want you to get lost. Typical, right?
Anyway—wait, where was I? Oh yeah, the hunt. They say it’s super important for this “Wrecking Crew” contract. So, I wandered around, kinda aimlessly, hoping the magic game gods would show me the way. Spoiler alert: they didn’t. If you’re expecting a shiny glow or some “Greetings, fellow adventurer!” sign, forget it. This game loves playing hide-and-seek.
Alright, let’s break it down. First off, you head into Alcyon. Picture this: you clear the space out—like, really go wild—then there’s a staircase way in the back corner. Up you go, and suddenly you’re in this room with a hologram of a planet chart. Seriously, the vibes are out of this world. Now, shove those vibes aside and look for the crates on the left. The one you need is way at the end. Fingers crossed you get the Amplifier and a pocketful of Solari without a hitch.
Here’s the kicker: the game’s quest tracker…well, it acts weird. It’s like, “Hey, you got this thing,” but then it tells you you’re still finding it. Helpful, right? But as long as you nabbed it, just pat yourself on the back and move on.
Oh, and while you’re at it, make sure you clear out the whole ship. I mean, why not? More stuff to collect, plus some good old-fashioned XP and a chance to collect some blood—y’know, for the purifier. Sounds gory, but that’s survival gaming for you.
Then you haul it back to Griffin Trading Post. Hand over your spoils at the terminal. The reward? A humble 350 XP and 2,000 Solari. Not exactly rolling in it, but hey, it unlocks more contracts. Maybe you’ve already got the stuff they need. If not, a quick scavenger hunt should do it. Plus, you might want to grab some extras like plant fiber and welding wire while you’re there. Spend some of that hard-earned cash—you know you want to!
So yeah, maybe it’s not the smoothest ride, but you’ll get the hang of it. Or maybe not. But that’s part of the fun, isn’t it?
