Alright, so here’s the deal with the Holtzman Amplifier in Dune: Awakening. You kinda need it for your first side gig, “Wrecking Crew.” But this game? It’s like, nah, I’m not gonna make it easy for you. Funny thing, the crate with this magic gizmo doesn’t even scream, “Hey, over here!” Like, real sneaky.
So where do you find this thing? Let me spill. The contract says it’s hanging out in the Alcyon wreck, but of course, no flashy quest markers in sight. You’re pretty much on your own. Usually, boxes have this glowing green light saying, “Yep, goodies here!” But nope, not this one.
Here’s the scoop: clear out the entry area of the Alcyon, then hit up the staircase tucked in the back-right corner. You’ll hit a navigation room—think flashing holograms of planets. Kinda cool, right? Off to the left, there’s this haphazard stack of crates. Mess around with the one way at the end, and ta-da, you get the Holtzman Amplifier and a sprinkle of Solari, which is like the game’s cash.
Oh, and heads up! The quest tracker in the top left of your screen? It acts like you didn’t grab the Amplifier even when you did. Like, come on game, keep up! But don’t sweat it. As long as it’s in your pocket, you’re golden.
While you’re at it, snoop around the ship. There’s some rad loot to nab, and defeating those scavengers? Extra XP and a chance to snag some blood for your blood purifier. Sounds fun, right?
Pop back to the Griffin Trading Post after you’re done playing hero. Drop off your newly acquired treasures at the contract terminal. You’ll snag 350 XP and 2,000 Solari. Not exactly rolling in it, but hey, it opens up more contracts you might accidentally have the stuff for. So, cash in and maybe treat yourself. The trading post has basics like plant fiber, welding wire, you name it. Perfect if you’re skipping the gathering part or just lazy like me.
