In Dune Awakening, players will have to take on various questlines comprising various smaller quests and activities. A New Beginning is one of the earliest main story questlines that you’ll have to complete. This questline teaches you the fundamentals of surviving in Arrakis, almost acting as a training mission. There are eight quests within this questline, each with distinct objectives. The following is an extensive walkthrough of A New Beginning questline in Dune Awakening.

The questline is divided into eight parts. These are:

  • Getting Equipped
  • The Attitude of the Knife
  • Shelter and Shields
  • Water from Blood
  • Echoes of the Past
  • A Touch of Civilization
  • The Wreck of Alcyon
  • Across the Gap

Now, let’s understand what each of these quests involve.

Getting Equipped

You will need to gather 15x Plant Fiber and then use it to research Makeshift Clothing through your Research Menu. After the research is complete, you will have to craft and equip the Makeshift Clothing. Don’t worry – crafting these will only require the 15x plant fiber you collected.

The next part of the quest will have you harvesting 65x metal using the Cutteray tool. You should be able to find them easily in the Haga Basin South area. After that, you’ll research the Maula Pistol Kit using the Research Menu. Then, craft the Improvised Maula Pistol and 90x Light Darts to complete the quest.

The Attitude of the Knife

Fighting the Scavengers

In this quest, you’ll start by researching the Respawn Beacon. You will then craft the Respawn Beacon and place it. You need 20x Salvaged Metal to craft this item. Once that is done, you’ll need to research the Binoculars. Like before, craft the Binoculars using 15x Salvaged Metal. Next, follow the quest marker and scout a scavenger camp using binoculars.

After you’ve spotted the enemies, head inside and take them down. During this time, you’ll also need to use your ability. After the fight, open up the skills menu and unlock a new skill.

Shelter and Shields

The next part of A New Beginning questline in Dune Awakening involves mining 150x Granite Stone. If you don’t already have them yet, you also need to collect 125x Metal. Finally, you’ll need to collect 24x Fuel Cells. You can find them inside containers across the world. After you have all of these resources, you should research the Basic Construction Kit.

Next, from your crafting menu, make and equip a Construction Tool. Finally, you will have to construct a Sub-Fief Console. Once that’s done, construct 4x Foundation, 7x Walls, a Door, and 4x Roofs. The last part of the quest involves crafting a Fuel-Powered Generator and a Small Storage Container.

Water from Blood

In this quest, you will begin by gathering 110x Metal and 25x Plant Fiber if you don’t already have them. Then, start researching the Basic Exsanguination Kit. Among the unlocked schematic would be a Blood Extractor crafting recipe. Use it to craft this item and then craft a Blood Sack.

Next, you will need to go out in the world and kill any scavengers along the way. After they are taken out, use the Blood Extractor tool to collect 2000 ml of their blood. Repeat this process until you have 2000 ml. After you have the required blood in your inventory, research and craft a Blood Purifier tool at your base. Interact with it to add blood to it.

Echoes of the Past

The following quest involves you completing the First Trial of Aql. To do that, head to the Haga Basin South and find an ancient cave. Traverse the cave to come across a platform where you can ‘inhale the spice.’ Once you do that, you’ll be transported to a different dimension. Here, you’ll have to traverse the landscape while evading detection rom a huge eye in the sky. Reaching the end without getting detected ends the First Trial of Aql.

Following this, you search the Moisture Sealed Caves. You want to collect 6x Micro-Sandwich Fabric from these caves. You’ll also need to collect an EMF Generator. After you have them, salvage 17x Plant Fiber, 165x Metal, and 12x Copper Ore.

Now, return to your base and drink some water from the Blood Purifier tool you placed earlier. Then, research and craft the Fabricator tool. Place the Fabricator in your base and then interact with it. In the Fabricator menu, craft the Scavenger Stillsuit. Then, equip it.

A Touch of Civilization

The sixth quest of A New Beginning questline starts with you researching and crafting a Small Ore Refinery. Using this facility, you will need to refine 13x Copper Ore. Next, research the Surveying Kit. Doing so opens up the recipe for the Survey Probe Launcher and the Survey Probe. You’ll need to fabricate both of these next. Find some high ground and climb up there. From this vantage point, you can then launch the Survey Probe you just built.

Subsequently, the quest then sends you to Griffin’s Reach Tradepost. Interact with the Contract Board there to begin the first Contract in the SCRAP METTLE contract chain. To complete this contract, you must deliver 40x Copper to the Tradepost and then speak with the contract issue. After delivering the required Copper, speak with the merchant opposite the contract board. Followed by a short conversation, you can open up his trade menu. You will have to buy the Hajra Literjon Mk1 schematic from the merchant.

With the weapon in tow, you can now pick up the SCRAP METTLE: Wrecking Crew Contract by interacting with the Contract Board once more. This contract sends you to a shipwreck.

At the same time, keep an eye out for Copper Ore and Plant Fiber, you’ll need 160x and 25x of these, respectively. Once you have all of the materials, research and craft a set of Scavenger Rags, a Kindjal and a Karpov 38.

Across the Gap

This is the final part of our walkthrough of A New Beginning questline in Dune Awakening. In this quest, you must travel to Imperial Testing Station No. 2. Once there, scavenge for 13x Advanced Servoks and 6x Particle Capacitors. Then, research the Sandbike Mk1 Assembly. Once done, go back to base and use the fabricator to fabricate the following items:

  • 1x Sandbike PSU Mk1
  • 1x Sandbike Engine Mk1
  • 3x Sandbike Tread Mk1
  • 1x Sandbike Chassis Mk1
  • 1x Sandbike Hull Mk1

Next, research and place a Small Chemical Refinery in your base. Interact with it and then use it to refine either a Medium or Small Vehicle Fuel Cell. Now, go back to the Fabricator and create a Welding Torch Mk1. With this tool, you’ll then need to assemble the Sandbike. While standing near the Sandbike, select ‘More’ to get refueling options. After refueling the vehicle, interact with it to ride it. This officially completes A New Beginning questline.
