Quest Objectives

You need to locate the Holtzman Amplifier in the Alcyon, a crashed ship east of Griffin’s Reach, then return it to the Contract Board.

Step-by-Step Walkthrough

Wrecking Crew

  1. Head to the Alcyon Wreck:
    • Travel east from Griffin’s Reach, about 1,000 meters, to the Alcyon, a large wrecked ship in the desert. Use your map to guide you.
    • Tip: Carry water in a Literjon or wear a Stillsuit to stay hydrated. Sprint across sandy areas to avoid sandworms.
  2. Enter the Ship:
    • Find the main entrance of the Alcyon. Be ready to fight enemies inside, including some with shields and others without.
    • Tip: Equip a melee weapon for shielded enemies and a ranged weapon for others. Bring bandages to heal injuries.
  3. Locate the Holtzman Amplifier:
    • Move through the ship to the control room at the back, where you’ll see control panels and a hologram of Arrakis.
    • Find a small chest under a mural near the hologram. Open it to collect the Holtzman Amplifier.
    • Tip: Watch for enemies in tight corridors. Clear them before looting to stay safe.
  4. Return to Griffin’s Reach:
    • Exit the wreck and head back to Griffin’s Reach. Deliver the Holtzman Amplifier to the Contract Board to complete the quest.
    • Tip: Use a Sandbike if available for a quicker return trip.

Rewards

Completing Wrecking Crew gives you:

  • 350 XP to level up.
  • 2,000 Solari, currency for buying gear.
  • Progress in the Scrap Mettle chain, unlocking the next contract, “Fremen Finds.”

Tips for Success

  • Gear Up: Bring armor, a strong melee weapon, and a ranged weapon to handle shielded and unshielded enemies.
  • Stay Hydrated: Use a Stillsuit or carry extra water to avoid slowing down in the desert heat.
  • Combine Quests: If you’re doing the main story quest “The Wreck of the Alcyon,” complete it alongside this one, as it’s in the same ship.
  • Avoid Sandworms: Stick to rocky paths or sprint across sand to dodge worm attacks. Listen for rumbling sounds.
  • Loot Extras: Check side rooms in the Alcyon for bonus items like copper ore or rare knives, but prioritize the Amplifier.

Why This Quest Matters

Wrecking Crew is a fun mix of exploration and combat, teaching you how to navigate dangerous areas and fight tough enemies. Its rewards help you upgrade your camp and progress in the game.
