In Dune: Awakening, “The Third Trial of AQL” is the next story quest in the “Find the Fremen” objective. This easy mission continues your journey through the mystical challenges of Arrakis, offering a straightforward task to deepen your understanding of its lore.
Quest Details
The quest description reads:
“At the location of the third trial, I found nothing but the degradations of the Sarduakar. Defiled and defeated, there was no trial but the degradations of the shigawire left by wandering scholar, almost as disappointed as I am. At least she managed to decipher the Fremen runes enough to find the words ‘slave cribs’ ‘haij’ and ‘Bela Tegeuse’.”
This trial reveals the aftermath of Sarduakar interference, leaving behind a defiled site with a shigawire recording by a wandering scholar. The recording mentions Fremen runes and terms like “slave cribs,” “haij,” and “Bela Tegeuse,” hinting at deeper lore connections. The trial takes place in a cave called Cave of The Lost Pilgrim.
