Following the track of The Tainted Spice in Dune: Awakening won't be easy, but the last part of this long series of missions for the Atreides faction is almost at its end. So, players should prepare in advance for this dangerous last task for Thufir Hawat.

Dune: Awakening - Should you Give the Poisoned Wine to Ambrose or Not?

Following the Atreides quests in Dune: Awakening, players will have to make a difficult choice, and here's whether to give the wine to Ambrose or not.

In this guide, we cover everything players need to know before tracking down the fallen Delphis freighter, and delving into the dangerous Radioactive Zone to retrieve the shipment of poisoned Spice that is killing everybody in Arrakis.

Where to Find the Wreck of the Delphis in Dune Awakening?

To complete this quest, players will need to travel to Sheol, the dangerous Radioactive Zone in the westernmost part of Hagga Basin. Players should prepare a Radiation Suit and Iodine Pills in advance. By following the marker, players will be able to locate the Wreck of the Delphis quite easily, but if they haven't explored this area yet (or more precisely, used a Survey Probe on it) they will have issues navigating the Irradiated fields.

The location is right in the middle of the few rocky islands that appear in the middle of the Sheol, and accessing it requires an Ornithopter. Don't try to travel to this place by land, since there are two Sandworms constantly patrolling the zone, and players won't have enough time to reach a safe place, since the rocky islands in this zone are quite far from each other. Are are a few steps to take into consideration to complete this quest with ease:

  1. Now, players should remember they have the Radiation Suit, which is not optimized for combat, and the zone where they will land is a dangerous PvPvE environment. Luckily, there are only two light enemies and a heavy gatling at the entrance of the Wreck.
  2. Dispose of the enemies, then quickly run inside and to the left, where the container lies hidden in a corner near a fire.
  3. Open it and take the Quest Item, and then leave before an enemy player discovers there's someone doing the same quest as them, and they want to engage in PvP.
  4. From there, fly to the western limits of the map to exit Hagga Basin, and travel back to Arrakkeen to deliver the Spice.

Once back in Arrakkeen, there's only one thing left to do: Talk to Thufir Hawat once more, and complete the requirements to meet Duke Leto Atreides. Sing a compromise with the Atreides House, and there it is: Atreides Faction Rank Maxed out. It seems pretty simple, but considering that the quest item is tucked inside a PvP zone (and a radioactive one no less), things can get really complicated in various ways.

If players are attacked and die during the quest, they could be left stranded miles away from their Ornithopter, and that's why players should always carry a Vehicle Backup Tool with them.
