Dune Awakening might be a survival game but it features an overarching narrative and story that is central to the gameplay. As a result, you can actually choose different factions, which play a major role in the story. They can also impact gameplay and provide players with different branching paths. One such faction that many Dune fans will be familiar with is House Atreides. Want to join this faction but figure out how to? Not to worry, we have you covered! In this guide, we’ll show you all the steps you need to follow to join House Atreides. Let’s dive in!
How to Join House Atreides
Starting off, to join House Atreides in Dune Awakening, you’ll need to talk to a representative of House Atreides. To do this, you’ll need to go to the right location.
You’ll need to go to the The Anvil, which can be found in the Eastern Vermilluis Gap. The marker is shown on the map below.

When you arrive here, enter inside and look to your right. You will find an NPC by the name of Lieutenant Anton Tolliver. Go up and interact with him.

Talk to him and select the option ‘What if I wanted to join your House?‘ If you selected other traits, you might see other dialogue options you can choose. For example, with the Honorable trait, you’ll be able to select the pledge option.
These dialogue options will lead to the same dialogue from the representative, so need to worry if you did not choose the trait.

After talking to him and going through the dialogue options, you will get The Missing Spy mission contract from him. Be sure to accept this contract so that you can prove your worth to House Atreides.

Now all you need to do is complete The Missing Spy and contract and you’ll be set to join House Atreides in Dune Awakening. To get started, you want to head to the location shown below, found towards the southern end of the Eastern Vermillius Gap.
Joining House Atreides gives you access to unique perks and differing paths. Some of these game features include:
- Unlocking the faction exclusive “Atreides Salute” emote
- Accessing exclusive base-building elements, that represent the Atreides unique architecture.

That’s everything you need to know about joining House Atreides in Dune Awakening. All you need to do is complete a simple contract and you’ll be able to show your worth to the representative. After joining, you’ll be able to complete even more faction exclusive missions and activities, which will have lasting impact on the world!
