So, you’re stuck in Dune: Awakening and need this Holtzman Amplifier thingy to wrap up that “Wrecking Crew” contract, huh? Yep, the game really doesn’t hold your hand here. I guess they want you to feel… what’s the word? Challenged? Or maybe just frustrated? Ha! Anyway, the sneaky bit is that the crate hiding this crucial gadget is super easy to miss. No glowy green beacon or anything screaming, “Hey, over here!”
Let’s dig into this. Imagine you’re wandering around aimlessly in the Alcyon wreck. The lack of quest markers feels like an oversight, or maybe a cruel joke by the developers. No glowing hints on containers here—especially not the one with our elusive Holtzman friend.
So, after you’ve cleared the opening area (ahem, and avoided running into every wall), you’ll discover stairs tucked in the back right corner. Odd detail, but I swear I heard those steps squeak like a haunted house. Anyway, upstairs is this fancy navigation room with a whirly planetary hologram. Look left. There’s a stack of crates. Ignore the pretty light show. The real treasure’s in the crate on the far side. Boom—Holtzman Amplifier and some Solari, the game’s currency. Ka-ching!
Oh, and don’t expect the game to give you a gold star. The quest tracker just stubbornly says, “Get the Amplifier,” even after you’re holding it. Like, come on, man! Just grab it, and you’re in the clear.
Before waltzing away, take a sec to explore the rest of the wreck. Loads of juicy loot and those scavengers—great for farming extra XP and maybe snagging some blood for a purifier, if that’s your thing. Who thought this would be a side gig?
Eventually, cart yourself back to Griffin Trading Post. Turn in the loot at the terminal—voila! You’re richer by 350 XP and 2,000 Solari. Not exactly rolling in dough, but hey, it opens up more contracts. More quests, more loot, and who doesn’t love a good shop at the trading post? Go wild. Buy some plant fiber or welding wire if you’re feeling lazy—or call it strategic shopping, if you prefer.
And there you have it. A little messy journey but kind of worth it, right? Or maybe that’s just me.
