Why Advanced Trainers Matter
In Dune Awakening, advancing your skills beyond the basics requires specialized training. Advanced trainers—Mentat, Trooper, Bene Gesserit, and Swordmaster—offer quests and mentorships that unlock enhanced abilities, giving you an edge in the harsh deserts of Arrakis. To begin, you'll need to locate a trade post and prepare for a journey to two key social hubs: Arachen and Harko Village.
Finding a Trade Post
Your adventure starts at a trade post, scattered across the map in locations like Anvil, Vermilious Gap, and Griffin's Reach in the Southern sector. You can choose any trade post—park your vehicle in a safe spot and look for a specific NPC: the ornithopter pilot. Identified by a small ornithopter behind them, this pilot will transport you to your destination for 2,500 Solari. Your choices are Arachen or Harko Village, and you may need to visit both depending on the trainers you're seeking.
Advanced Trainers in Arachen
Arachen hosts two key advanced trainers: the Mentat and the Trooper. Here's how to find them:
Mentat Trainer: Head to the bar in Arachen. Upon entering, take an immediate right and go to the back, where a blue light marks the Mentat trainer. Speak to them to learn about advanced Mentat training. They'll assign a quest, “Advanced Calculated Calamity,” which takes you to Hagger Basin. Check your Journey tab under Contracts, listed for the settlement of Arachen, to track the map location in the Seucian Ball area.
Trooper Trainer: After the Mentat, head upstairs in Arachen. Turn left and follow the path until you see another blue light, signaling the Trooper trainer—a skilled woman ready to guide you. Chat with her to receive a quest to take down a camp in Hagger Basin. Confirm the details in your Journey tab under “Settlement Arachen Trooper Advanced Training” for the map reference.
Advanced Trainers in Harko Village
For the Bene Gesserit and Swordmaster trainers, you'll need to travel to Harko Village—either pay 2,500 Solari for the ornithopter ride or craft your own and fly to the map's border. Once in Harko Village, a dark and dangerous hub, head to the back of the area:
Bene Gesserit Trainer: As you approach a laser gate, go right to find the Bene Gesserit trainer. Speak to her to start the advanced training quest, but ensure you've completed the basic Bene Gesserit training first. The quest details will appear in your Journey tab under “Settlement Harko Village.”
Swordmaster Trainer: From the laser gate, head left instead. Look for a big blue ball hovering in the sky to locate the Swordmaster trainer. Chat with him—after confirming you have the base Swordmaster training—and he'll assign a quest to further your skills. Check your Journey tab under “Settlement Harko Village” for both this and the Bene Gesserit quest.
Completing the Quests
Each trainer assigns a unique quest to test your skills, often sending you back to areas like Hagger Basin. Complete these missions, return to the trainer, and submit your progress. In return, they'll grant advanced training, unlocking abilities far beyond the basics. Track all quests in your Journey tab under Contracts, organized by settlement (Arachen or Harko Village).
Tips for Success
Preparation: Ensure you've completed basic training for each discipline before seeking advanced mentorship.
Cost: Budget 2,500 Solari per ornithopter trip, or craft your own to save resources.
Navigation: Look for blue lights or landmarks, such as the hovering blue ball, to spot trainers quickly.
Safety: Park your vehicle in a safe spot at trade posts to avoid trouble.
