Player Uncovers Quicksand Shortcut in Awakening

Sure thing, I’ll give it a go!

—

Okay, so here’s the scoop. This player in, uh, Dune: Awakening? Yeah, they found this sneaky shortcut. It’s kind of a big deal if you’re into the whole escaping sudden death by quicksand kinda vibe. The game’s only been out a week since June 10th — I mean, can you believe it? — but it’s causing quite the stir. Everyone’s like buzzing, especially those Dune and MMO folks. I heard it’s mixing Frank Herbert’s classic stuff with some gritty survival tactics. Imagine, like, Conan Exiles but with more sand. Tons of it. Arrakis, the planet, is like its own character in the game. Weird, right? The planet as a character. Huh, who knew?

So here’s the deal with the sand. It’s not just, you know, pretty beachfront property. Nope, it’s full of danger. Sandworms, yeah, those are scary, but it’s the sand itself that’s sneakier. There’s these quicksand pits and you can — wait for it — get swallowed up whole. Anyway, this player, uh, Lisa_Mairy, shared this route around quicksand that, honestly, probably saved some virtual lives. It’s north of this place called the Anvil — kind of like the local hangout for trading, I guess. The map doesn’t show it though, which is wild. It’s like a hidden path that you won’t see unless you know, you know?

People on the Dune subreddit were, like, “Whoa, this is brave.” Some even joked it was a ploy by a sandworm to lure them. Funny, right? I mean, if sandworms were posting online, we’d have bigger problems. Anyway, a couple players said yep, it’s real, but you might brush against the sand if you’re going too fast. So maybe take it easy!

This shortcut, though just a teeny tiny path, kinda makes you think. What else is out there? If this one’s real, who knows how many other little gems are hiding on Arrakis? I guess it’s a game for those with a nose for adventure and some serious exploration guts. There’s always treasure in discovering a sneaky shortcut, that’s for sure. Gives you a solid leg up when everyone else is fighting the sandy wilds, slipping around without a clue.

And that’s it. Or most of it. I mean, I could ramble on, but you get the gist.
