How to Fly to Arrakeen in Dune Awakening

By Ambar Jimenez | 2025-06-22 10:12:24
Arrakeen serves as a significant social and trading hub in Dune: Awakening, accessible via fast travel. While using Taxi NPCs at Tradeposts costs a steep 2,500 Solari per trip, which can quickly add up, there's a more economical option once you acquire your own Ornithopter.Having your own Ornithopter allows you to utilize the Overland map to fly to Arrakeen, Harko Village, and the Deep Desert completely free of charge. However, understanding and navigating the Overland map can be a bit tricky since the game doesn't provide a detailed tutorial. Here’s how to use it effectively.

Dune Awakening: How to Fly to Arrakeen

To reach Arrakeen using your Ornithopter:
  • Enter the Overland map: Fly your Ornithopter to any edge of the Hagga Basin (your starting area). All exits will transport you to the Overland map. You'll see a shimmering blue wall at the map edge; flying into it will prompt a confirmation to enter the World Map.
  • Locate Arrakeen: Once on the Overland map, use the pan function to find Arrakeen. It's located in the top-right corner of the map, east of the Hagga Basin.
  • Click-to-Move: Movement on the Overland map is handled by click-to-move. Click on Arrakeen, and your Ornithopter will automatically travel there.
  • Confirm Entry: Once your Ornithopter reaches Arrakeen on the map, a confirmation text box will appear. Select "Confirm" to enter the city.
  • To exit Arrakeen: Simply walk out the main front door. Another confirmation text box will appear, and confirming will take you back out to the Overland map.Important Warning: If you arrived in Arrakeen (or Harko Village) using your Ornithopter, do NOT leave via the Fast Travel Taxi NPC near the exit. There is a risk the game might bug out, causing you to lose your Ornithopter permanently. Always exit through the regular exit that takes you back to the Overland map.Returning to Hagga Basin: When you return to Hagga Basin from the Overland map, pay attention to the bars circling the area. The direction you choose to enter from dictates which part of the Hagga Basin map you will land in. For example, entering from the top (north) will place you in the Eastern Shield Wall region, while entering from the right (east) will put you in the Hagga Rift. Choosing the correct entry point can save a lot of travel time, depending on your base's location.
    • Tip: If you accidentally enter from the wrong direction, you can easily fly back out to the Overland map, adjust your angle, and fly back in to instantly cross the Hagga Basin to your desired region.

    How to Move Through the Overland Map

    Movement on the Overland map consumes Fuel, and time spent on it uses Water. If either gauge runs low:

  • Locate Deposits: Find any of the Fuel or Water Deposits scattered across the map.
  • Hover and Land: Move your Ornithopter over these deposits and hover. You'll see a small animation as the Ornithopter lands.
  • Refill: The relevant gauge (yellow for fuel, blue for water) will start filling up automatically. Simply flying over a deposit won't work; you muststop and allow the Ornithopter to land.
  • Note: Fuel refills on the Overland map do not affect the actual fuel level in your Ornithopter back in the main game world.

    Where to Find Harko Village and Deep Desert on the Overland Map

    • Harko Village: This major hub is located directly south of the Hagga Basin, in the bottom-most part of the Overland map. It functions exactly like Arrakeen for entry and exit.
    • Deep Desert: The Deep Desert is situated to the northwest of the Hagga Basin on the Overland map.

    The Deep Desert operates a bit differently from the cities. As you approach its entrance on the Overland map, you'll notice purple rectangular bars, similar to those circling the Hagga Basin. These bars act as indicators for the different sectors within the Deep Desert. For instance, entering via the left-most section will place yousomewhere in sectors A1-A3, while choosing the right-most entrance willtake you to sectors A7-A9. This feature is particularly useful forcoordinating entry points when meeting up with friends in the DeepDesert.
