Here we go into the meat of the Cheap Dune Awakening Solari quest: finding Survivors Two Three, handling the locked doors, dealing with bugs, and securing completion.
Survivor Two – Up High, Behind Locks
After rescuing Survivor One, you're back in the main room of the instance. To find Survivor Two:
Look above the doorway where you originally entered. This is tied to an upper walkway.
There should be a Green locked door (or color matching the required ID Band). Behind it, in the back corner of the room, lies Survivor Two and their corresponding ID Band. Speak to them to collect the Yellow ID band (or a variant with the correct color
Survivor Three – Locked Yellow Door
Survivor Three is more tucked away. To reach them:
Return to the space where you first found Survivor One.
Navigate around the back of that area; you’ll encounter a **Locke- Go through it and in the room beyond, look for another crate at the back. The third survivor is lying by that crate, with another ID Band to collect. Speak with the survivor to trigger that portion of the contract.
Locked Doors Instance Bugs
This is the tricky part. Many players report not seeing Survivor Two or Three, due to locked doors not properly collapsing (or the survivor not spawning). Here are some specific strategies:
Instance Reset Trick
If you ca leave the ship instance entirely. Travel away (for example, fly away via Ornithopter) to an open area like Hagga Basin, wait 10‑15 seconds, return to the quest marker, and reenter the ship. Sometimes this forces the locked doors to reset and survivors to properly spawn.Follow the Quest Marker Closely
Don’t rely solely on sight. Use the in‑gntract marker to guide you; it sometimes leads you to the correct door/walkway even when visual cues are misleading.Check for Needed Color Keys
Locked doors use color‑coded locks (Yellow, Green, etc.). Ensure you have the relevant ID Band or whatever key the quest demands. If you don’t, the door stays locked (even if the survivor is behind it). Also, make sure you haven't accidentally skipped collecting an earlier ID Band or mis‑interpreted colors.Patience Exploration
The ship's interior has multi‑level walkways, upper balconies, and possibly hidden passages. If you don't see something, climb up, look overhead, peek behind crates. Survivors are often tucked in places that require a bit of looking.
What Happens After All Survivors Are Fouocated and spoken to all three survivors, collected all ID Bands:
You will finish the objective “Find Three Survivors.”
Usually there is then an interaction (dialogue) that confirms their rescue.
Complete wrap‑up with Chief Hanso or whatever NPC gave you the contract.
Rewards typically include experience (XP), possibly some faction reputation (Landsraad), and anything else specific to the DLC contract chain.
Useful Tips Gear Recear for Close Quarters**: Use weapons that are agile, do well in tight corridors. Melee weapons with decent speed or short‑range firearms.
Light Visibility: Some rooms may be dim. Bring a light source if available, or masion enhancing items (if any) or interface settings that help see interactable objects.
Consumables: Healing, as always, and anything that slows or blocks enemies, in case survivors are in rooms with hostile NPCs.
Vertical Mobility: Boots or equipment that allow climbing, swinging, or navigating upper walkways helps, especially to reach Survivor Two which is above entry doorways.
Common Problems Workarounds
Survivor Not Spawning: Use the instance reset try, reenter.
Locked Door Doesn’t Open or Is Missing Lock Mechanic: Sometimes the color key requirement is mis‑matched; double‑check color indications on door vs. key/ID Band color. If the door is present but locked, try interacting repeatedly, or search for a switch or path to unlock.
Quest Marker Glitches: Occasionally the marker might mislead; don’t assume it's always precise. Use your surroundings, interactables, and search all corners.
Mid‑Quest Reflections Lore
“Lost Within” is more than just “find three survivors”; it adds context:
It hints at what happens after a ship has been abandoned or wrecked. The survivors are scattered, doors locked, parts of the ship decayed or sealed.
It emphasizes the themes of rescue, isolation, and survival in Dune: Awakening’s harsh environment—even when you’re inside something man‑made, it feels just as dangerous as the desert.
The contract also deepens your involvement in the Lost Harvest storyline, giving Chief Hanso background and reinforcing the conflict/tension between salvage, lost tech, and human cost.
