Okay, so here’s the deal. There’s this game, Dune: Awakening, right? Just launched, like, a week ago on PC. I dunno, June 10 or something? Anyway, it’s causing quite the buzz—people are going nuts. It’s kinda like that old-school Dune stuff mixed with survival, MMO-style. Think of Conan Exiles, but toss it on Arrakis. You know, the desert planet with creepy crawly massive sandworms.
Here’s where it gets wild. The sand isn’t just sand; it’s like, alive. Not literally, but you’ve got quicksand to dodge too. And oh, there’s this player—Lisa_Mairy I think—who found a sneaky shortcut. This is north of some spot called the Anvil. That’s a trading post. Anyway, there’s this whole quicksand field there, but she’s found a path that’s all hush-hush and hidden. It’s barely there on the map, just a little squiggle. But it lets you scuttle through it like a pro, either in a buggy or on foot. I mean, the thing’s tight enough to give you the heebie-jeebies if you’re not careful.
Lisa posted about it on Reddit, and other players basically gave her a virtual high five. Some even joked, saying a sandworm wrote the post to lure them to lunch. Yep, sandworms have a sense of humor now. Seems legit, though. Others tested it out and said, sure, you can slip by, but expect your pulse to quicken with a brush against the quicksand. Yikes.
Now, while this little detour is cool and all, it’s honestly just a blip on Arrakis’ radar. But, you know, any help is good when you’re starting out. This place, the Anvil, apparently serves up all kinds of trading action. So having a shortcut there? Handy as heck. Makes me wonder if there are more hidden paths like these just waiting for someone brave enough to find them. Imagine uncovering a sneaky little route that lets you dodge dangers or, better yet, snag resources without risking your neck.
Anyway, that’s the word. Do with it what you will, but if you’re diving into Dune: Awakening, maybe keep your eyes peeled for these gems. You never know, right?
