Locating the Holtzman Amplifier in Dune: Awakening

Okay, so here’s the thing. You’re diving into this game, Dune: Awakening, and suddenly—it’s like bam!—you need this Holtzman Amplifier. First off, why call it that? Fancy name, but whatever. You want to do this side quest, “Wrecking Crew.” Gotta say, this game really makes you work for it. Maybe that’s fun for some folks? Who knows, I’m just here, rambling.

Anyway—where was I? Oh right, finding this mysterious Holtzman thingy. The game’s all, “Hey, go find it in the Alcyon wreck!” And then just leaves you hanging. No quest markers, nada. Like, thanks for nothing, game. Most of the loot? It glows green, super handy when you’re tired and your eyes hurt? But this one? No glow, no nothing.

So, picture this: you clear the Alcyon’s entry. Kind of intense, right? Then there’s this staircase hiding at the back right. Head up there, and you’re in this navigation room. Apparently, it’s got a planet chart hologram—sounds cool, I think? If you swing left of that table, voila, there’s a stack of crates. Yeah, the one all the way at the end. That’s your jackpot. You snag the Holtzman Amplifier and some of the game’s currency—Solari—just like that.

Now, small hiccup. The quest tracker? It’s like one of those unreliable narrators in books. Doesn’t even recognize you found the thing. Keeps telling you to find it, like, hello, already did that, thanks!

But hey, don’t rush off. There’s more in the Alcyon to explore as you tackle “The Wreck of the Alcyon” quest. Scavengers to take down, loot to grab. It’s worth poking around, trust me.

Finally, haul your loot to Griffin Trading Post. Hand in that contract! You get 350 XP and 2,000 Solari—yeah, not a fortune, but hey, it unlocks more gigs. You can probably breeze through those too, easy peasy. And a quick tip: if you’re too lazy to craft materials like plant fiber, just spend some cash at the trading post. It’s what I’d do, honestly.

And just like that, you’re set to take on more in this sandy, chaotic world. Fun times, right?
