Game Guide by TauxicPandA on Jun 13, 2025

To complete the Seventh Trial, you need to do a lot of climbing and kill a lot of NPCs. So, make sure you are well-equipped, and bringing a Suspensor Belt is highly recommended, as there will be a lot of climbing, and you don't want to die from fall damage.

Location of the Trial

You must go to the Haga Rift region in Dune: Awakening, a big canyon region on your map on the upper side. Look for Red Maw when you get there.

You have to jump down into the canyon. The place is very deep and will require a lot of patience to climb down. You can use your Suspensor Belt to drop down to avoid the fall damage.

When you get down, there'll be some enemies that you need to kill to reach the Altar.

Also, ensure you have a Respawn Beacon regardless of whether you have a Sandbike. When you are at the bottom, place the Beacon in a safe location because you can't bring your bike into this region.

After clearing the enemies and looting the surrounding area, look for a reddish glow. This is where the Altar is located.

Go inside this area and interact with the Altar to begin the Trial.

Objectives of the Trial

The Trial begins with the usual dialogue and is a straightforward tutorial on using the Stilltent. You must pass through Sandstrom's and reach the Tents. There'll be some climbing and jumping as you progress.

When you reach the Tents, interact with them to enter the Tents. This will shelter you in the storm. You have a short time after the storm hits to get into these tents without dying.

If you die, there will be Checkpoints, but make sure to find the Tents as quickly as possible to avoid repeating the same thing.

As you progress through the Trial, you'll find the Altar at the end, triggering a cutscene, indicating that the Trial has been completed.

Completion Rewards.

After finishing the Trial, you can craft the Stilltent that will protect you from Sandstorms when you are outside, provided you have the required resources to build it.

Exiting and climbing back up can be tricky. What you can do is reach a good Altitude first before you start to climb.

There'll be some pathways that you can take to get to these altitudes without having to climb. You can always place Resapwn Beacons if climbing a particular section is risky.
