Within the sands of Dune Awakening, players face a pivotal choice: align with House Atreides or House Harkonnen. Those pledging loyalty to House Atreides encounter Tolliver, a faction leader offering missions like the Trials of Deception. This quest emphasizes strategic thinking over combat, requiring operatives to uncover compromising details about Harkonnen official Maxim Kazmir. Below, discover strategies to master this mission.

Initiating the Trials of Deception Mission

To embark on this faction assignment, approach Lieutenant Tolliver at The Anvil after beginning your Atreides initiation. He directs you to locate Lanov, a Harkonnen soldier stationed eastward at Riftwatch. This objective appears marked on your navigation system for precise tracking.

Executing the Trials of Deception

Journey to Riftwatch using your Sandbike for efficient desert traversal. Locate Lanov, a Harkonnen guard struggling with Semuta dependence. Disguise yourself as a Harkonnen inspector during interrogation to avoid suspicion. Extract critical intel about Kazmir’s vulnerabilities before departing. Return to Tolliver at The Anvil to finalize this phase of your initiation.

Completion grants progression toward full Atreides membership, though players retain the freedom to switch allegiances later. Additional missions await to solidify your position within the faction hierarchy.
