Alright, so you’re diving into the chaos of Dune: Awakening and you’ve got this “Wrecking Crew” contract to deal with, needing this thing called the Holtzman Amplifier. I swear, this game just loves a good treasure hunt, and not in a helpful way. It’s almost like they don’t want you to find it. Like, who am I kidding here? Who knows why they hide it so well. But if you’re still in it—hang tight.
So, let’s talk about where this amplifier is hiding. The contract tells you it’s in the Alcyon wreck. Great, right? Except—surprise!—there’s no shining quest marker to direct you. Most loot has this green glow, you know, saying, “Hey, over here!” But not the amplifier. Nope. It’s sneaky.
First thing’s first, clear out the entry of Alcyon. Then, whoop, there’s a staircase in the back right. Follow it. You enter a navigation room—something about a hologram chart looking all sci-fi. Now, look left. Crazy detail, I know: there’s a stack of crates. Go for the one at the end, and there you have it—found your amplifier, along with a little pocket money, Solari. Not loads, but hey, it’s something.
Side note, and here’s the kicker: the quest tracker won’t even care you grabbed the amplifier. Keeps telling you to look for it, like, seriously? Anyway, long as it’s in your inventory, you’re golden.
While you’re there, knock around the rest of the ship. Finish up “The Wreck of the Alcyon.” More goodies wait, promise. Plus, it’s not a bad way to rack up experience and purify some blood. Don’t ask why, just roll with it.
Eventually, meander back to Griffin Trading Post. It’s in the contract terminal where the magic happens. You get 350 XP and 2,000 Solari. Meh. But hey, it’ll unlock more contracts. You know the drill: cash in, collect more. Treat yourself at the merchant, maybe. Sometimes you just want an easy buy on plant fiber and welding wire instead of a scavenger hunt.
That’s about the size of it. Good luck navigating that chaos!
