For those wondering if they should pick House Harkonnen or Atreides in Dune: Awakening, here’s a full guide on factions.
Where to Find Katrina Chloros Location in Dune: Awakening
The first part of this quest will have you searching for Katrina Chloros, the captain of the Kytheria. Her ship was shot down as it approached Hagga Basin, and both Atreides and Harkonnen are interested in what happened. To find her, you’ll need to go to the Hagga Rift and search its dark caves. We recommend bringing an Ornithopter to make navigation easier, but if you can’t, take a Sandbike for mobility and equip a Suspensor Belt for better vertical traversal.
Katrina Chloros’ location is marked by a quest marker, which should be visible on your map and compass. Follow the marker to the Hagga Rift, then check the ledges for some bright lights and a campfire — these should be two levels below the rift’s surface. The lights indicate Katrina’s makeshift camp, which is nothing more than a lit fire. Speak with her to progress the quest.
Search the Kytheria for Clues
After Katrina tells you to leave her alone, head directly north of her camp and drop down one level. Then, follow the path north until you reach the second half of the Wreck of the Kytheria. The first half is on the surface, but for the sake of this quest, you’ll need to explore the half that’s inside the rift.
Make your way inside the rift, and mind the deserters that are lurking in the dark. Take out any hostiles you see, then search for the boulder next to a red light in the image above. Drop down the hole next to it, then interact with the corpses in the room. One of them should have a notebook that has all the clues you need for this part of the mission. After getting the notebook, return to your faction’s representative at Anvil Outpost.
Report Your Findings
We completed this quest as a member of House Atreides. If you’re a member of House Harkonnen, this final part may be different for you.
If you’re an Atreides member, then the last leg of this quest will have you going all the way to Helius Gate at the Eastern Shield Wall region (where you can find the Bene Gesserit basic trainer). There, you’ll need to report your findings to Andrea Ganan, an Atreides Mentat and the direct superior of Lt. Anton Tolliver. You can find her next to some stairs at the top-most level, near the Ornithopter landing pads and the Helius Gate bounty board. Give her the notebook, and she’ll promote you for your efforts.
