In Dune: Awakening, “The Second Trial of AQL” is the next story quest in the “Find the Fremen” objective. This quick mission continues your journey through the mystical challenges of Arrakis, deepening your connection to its secrets.
Quest Details
The quest description reads:
“Another vision, this one lost in the memories of the future. What is the meaning of memory even now people searching for their dream evaporates, leaving me with three things. The name of a planet, Rossak where they found the poison drug, the making of a Fremen static compaction tool, and the location of the next trial that I must face.”
This trial introduces a vision tied to Rossak, a planet known in Dune lore for its poison drug, and teaches you to craft a Fremen static compaction tool—a useful item for survival on Arrakis. The vision also points you to the next trial, located in a cave called “The Deep Struggle.”
Objectives
Labeled “The Second Question,” the quest has two steps:
- Locate the second trial – Follow the in-game guidance or use the “View Trial Location” option to find The Deep Struggle cave.
- Interact with the altar then complete the second trial – Inside The Deep Struggle, interact with an altar to finish the trial, likely through a simple task or puzzle.
The quest can be completed by a party member, so teaming up is an option.
