Be cautious while exploring Arrakis. Everything on this planet can be dangerous.
In Dune: Awakening, I found myself in a harrowing situation where I faced quicksand and had a close encounter with a terrifying sandworm.
An Unfortunate Adventure
After about 10 hours in the game, I decided to go on an exploration mission. I hopped on my sandbike and set out towards the horizon. Unfortunately, I drove straight into quicksand. Despite being marked on the map, I didn’t realize the danger until it was too late.
The sand began to engulf me, and in a panic, I accelerated while repeating, “No, no, no.” Surprisingly, this tactic didn’t help, and I began to sink deeper.
Out of nowhere, a sandworm breached the dunes nearby. I know firsthand how devastating it is to be consumed by one; it spells the loss of all your gear forever.
Facing My Fate
In this dire moment, my bike met its demise in an explosion—thankfully, I was spared from being swallowed whole. While I did lose some supplies, all my critical gear remained intact.
Now, my plan is to craft an ornithopter for safer travel across the desert and to avoid further confrontations with quicksand and sandworms.
In short, there are much worse ways to meet an end in Arrakis than a bike explosion.
