Okay, so picture this: you’re deep into Dune: Awakening, and you’re all set to tackle your non-essential contract, yeah? It’s called "Wrecking Crew." Wild, right? But of course, the game’s gotta throw you a curveball with this Holtzman Amplifier thing. It’s almost like they enjoy watching us squirm. Anyway, let’s dive in—oh, wait, why did I bring it up like that? Never mind.
Now, hunting down the Holtzman Amplifier… it’s tucked away in the Alcyon wreck. Sounds straightforward? Well, that’s the joke. No flashy "loot here" signs to guide you. It’s like a game of hide and seek, just without the seeker. You’d think they’d at least put up a neon sign. Or maybe not.
So here’s the scoop. Clear the front area of Alcyon first. Just sweep it like you’ve never swept before. Then you’ll spot a staircase in the back corner, kinda hiding like it’s shy or something. Stroll up, and there you are in this navigation room—got a planet chart hologram buzzing away. To the hologram’s left, bam, a stack of crates. The Holtzman Amplifier is chilling in the one furthest back. Oh, and some Solari, too. Bonus!
Now, about that quest tracker—oh boy, it’s quirky. Snags the Amplifier, and you’d think it’s time to move on, but nope! It sticks to you like glue until you hand in the contract. As if the game’s waving, saying, “Hey, did you really get it? Prove it.”
While you’re at the Alcyon, might as well loot the place, right? Grab anything and everything. The ship is a gold mine—kind of. And those pesky scavengers? Taking them out is your ticket to extra experience points. Plus, that blood purifier of yours isn’t going to fill itself.
Once you’re ready to part ways with the Amplifier, swing by Griffin Trading Post. Hand over the goodies at the contract terminal and bank in 350 XP and 2,000 Solari. Yay? It’s modest—like finding just enough change under the couch for a coffee. But finishing it unlocks more contracts and hey, maybe you’ve already got the stuff for them. Or not. Who knows?
Bottom line: use your loot wisely, especially if basic supplies like plant fiber and welding wire are on your radar. Sometimes it’s just easier to buy than to scavenge, right? Shop smart, splash out, or save—dealer’s choice. Anyway, was I talking too much about that? Shrug. It’s all part of the game.
