Players will have to solve various puzzles to complete the Eighth Trial of Aql in Dune Awakening. Here are all the solutions.
Unlike its predecessors, the Eighth Trial of Aql features various puzzles you must solve to complete the quest in Dune Awakening. It is the last mission in the Trials of Aql storyline, so naturally, it is the most challenging one. Other than puzzles, this quest also features combat, so be ready to get your blade all dirty. Still, the most crucial aspect of this mission is the rewards, including the best water-extracting equipment in the entire Survival MMO.
Now, fighting enemies won’t be too difficult, but many players might struggle to find the right solutions for the puzzles. These are crucial for the storyline and can halt your progression altogether. So, to help you out, here’s the complete walkthrough of the Eighth Trial of Aql in Dune Awakening with the puzzle solutions.
How To Complete the Eighth Trial of Aql in Dune Awakening
To find the Eighth Trial of Aql in Dune Awakening, you must venture to the border of the Eastern Shield Wall. There, you must find a cavern named the Sietch Ta’lab. Since a Sietch is essentially a Fremen stronghold, it will be well hidden in the cliff there. You can look at the image above to locate it more easily. Once you are close to the area, you can identify the Sietch entrance by a blue symbol on the wall beside it.
Take the path before you and keep walking until you come across the main doorway to the Sietch. Move past it and cross the small bridge to enter the main hall. At the end of it lies a door. When you interact with it, it will give you the first puzzle to solve.
The Door Quiz in Sietche Ta’lab
The first puzzle in the Eighth Trial of Aql in Dune Awakening is a quiz. After interacting with the door, you will have to answer some questions regarding the Fremen’s journey across the stars from one planet to another. We have provided all the answers to the questions below in chronological order:
- Nilotic al-Ourouba
- Poritrin
- Salusa Secundus
- Bela Teguese
- Rossak
- Thurgrod
- Harmonthep
After giving all the correct answers, the door will open, and you will meet Ari. Like you, she is in Sietch Ta’lab to study and learn more about the Fremen and their culture. Then, join her and move deeper into the Sietch to find the next puzzle.
The Maze
After solving the first puzzle, keep following the linear path with Ari. Eventually, you will come across a maze. It will be your second test. In said maze, you will find various boulders blocking your way. However, you can easily take them out with your Cutteray and unlock new areas. So, keep destroying the boulders and following new paths. After repeating this process for a bit, you will stumble across a door. Move past it and take the staircase. It will lead you to the next test.
The Wall Symbol Puzzle
Past the staircase mentioned earlier, you will enter a room through a door. In it will be the next puzzle. This time, you will see a Solido Projection of a scholar with various symbols on the wall behind. Now, carefully listen to the scholar to understand the precise sequence of the three sets of symbols. However, if you don’t care for it and just want to move past this area, here is the correct order:
- Bind – Dune – Grass
- Planting – Shelter – Downwind
- Animal – Aerate – Sand
Once you solve the puzzle, the next area will open. Follow it to reach the next puzzle in the Eighth Trial of Aql in Dune Awakening.
The Floor Disc Puzzle
After the Wall Puzzle, take the newly opened path and go from room to room. Eventually, you will enter a hall. Take a right and go forward. There you will find some chests. Loot them and then come back to the entrance. After that, go to the left. You will find more chests there. After that, take the stairs to the upper floor. A disc with various patterns will be there.
Now, your task is to rotate said disc in the correct manner to get the intended pattern. Keep adjusting the mechanism until it matches the image above. Once it does, the puzzle is solved. Pour blood on the Deathstill to unlock the new area.
Activate the Console
Once you enter the newly opened room, a cutscene will start. After that, you will need to find a console. It will be on the left side of the room you are in. Loot the chest beside it and then interact with the console. Doing so will open a new room and unlock the next path.
Survive the Assault
After taking the new path and dropping down to the next area, you will trigger another cutscene. During it, you will meet the Kharet leader and his minions. These cultists will then start attacking you. Now, all you have to do is kill and survive. Once you have killed all of the cultists, take the stairway opposite the entrance. There, take the exit door to leave Sietch Ta’lab. This will mark the end of the Eighth Trial of Aql in Dune Awakening.
Rewards
Once you are out of the Sietche and in the open, you will get Ari’s pistol. It is a variant of the traditional Maula Pistol. This weapon has a perk that makes it more accurate when you are in your Prescient stance. Additionally, from that point onward, you will be able to craft Fremen Deathstils.
This particular equipment will allow you to extract every drop of blood from a corpse, which will give you plenty of water. The Deathstill is a crucial Fremen tool that is quite important for survival in Arrakis.
