Tips
- If you return to Tuono Tabr and speak with the Fremen chief, he will mention a sietch (Tuono Clam) to the east. Go there. Explore the sietch to find two ornithopters. Go to the two nearest sietches where Fremen are equipped with harvesters (but not Tuono Tabr, as the Fremen chief will refuse to move his troops from his native area) and ask them to pick up the ornithopters.
- When Duncan asks you to regroup your troops in an area rich in spice, do not do it. This can cause conflict between north and south troops, leading them to refuse work unless you split them. Wait until your Charisma level is high or you have Stilgar in your party.
- You can delay the spice shipment by not going into the desert alone. Ensure your prospector has prospected all sietches to gather enough spice. You can also skip days by choosing "Wait for Morning" and "Wait for Evening" in the desert with Gurney and Harah.
