Alright, let’s dive into this. So, you’re wandering through Dune: Awakening, right? And there’s this first non-essential contract, “Wrecking Crew,” where you absolutely need this Holtzman Amplifier thing, but it’s like the game is playing hide and seek with you. Seriously. The crate it’s in doesn’t even give you a clue! No bright neon signs saying, “Hey, cool stuff inside!” It’s maddening.
So, you’re probably wondering where on earth to find this elusive amplifier. Buckle up, I’ve got you. Apparently, it’s in the Alcyon wreck. Yeah, super helpful, right? No handy quest marker or anything. You’ve got to, I don’t know, use your explorer skills. Honestly, most lootable containers have this green glow—like a go-ahead sign—but not this one. Go figure.
First off, clear out the Alcyon entry area. Oh, and there’s this staircase tucked away in the back right corner—sort of hiding, like it knows you’re in a rush. Up you go into this navigation room, with a crazy hologram planet chart. It’s quite the sight, actually. Off to the left, there are crates piled up. Not just any crate though; it’s the one farthest away that you want. You’ll find the Holtzman Amplifier and some Solari. Score!
Funny thing is, the quest tracker doesn’t give you any acknowledgment you’ve got the Amplifier. It just carries on like you’re clueless. You’ll think: “Did I do something wrong?” Nope. You’re fine. Just trust me, once it’s in your hands or inventory, you’re set—despite what the quest tracker stubbornly indicates. It’ll keep saying you need to find it until you actually complete the contract. Who designed this, seriously?
And while you’re at it, have a look around the wreck. If you’re up for it, take down some scavengers for a bit of extra XP. Plus, there’s blood for your purifier. Ew, but somehow fascinating.
Head back to the Griffin Trading Post when you can, dump those items in the contract terminal. For your troubles, you’ll pocket 350 XP and 2,000 Solari—not exactly jackpot, but hey, every little bit helps. And it opens the door to more contracts. They might just be sitting in your inventory already. Reap the rewards for basically doing nothing extra. While you’re there, maybe grab some plant fiber or welding wire—unless hunting them down is your thing. Spend it well at the merchant’s stall.
Anyway, good hunting out there, champ!
