How To Get Buried Treasure in Dune Awakening

The barren world of Arrakis in Dune Awakening teems with hazards. Players brave hostile outposts, subterranean sandworms, and blistering heat in pursuit of concealed riches beneath the dunes. A key early mission titled “Hidden Relics” introduces the core mechanics of excavating these caches, but specialized gear is essential for success.

Acquiring concealed artifacts requires two critical tools. First, obtain schematics for the Portable Mineral Detector by spending 5x Intelligence Tokens. Construct this device using:

9x Forged Iron
6x Electromagnetic Coils

For extraction, craft the Gravitational Excavator unlocked through main story progression. Assembly requires:

10x Forged Iron
7x Electromagnetic Coils

Equip the scanner in desert regions to detect underground anomalies. Follow the signal to the marked excavation site and deploy the gravitational device to safely extract artifacts from compacted sands.
