Are you still making water by going to
your purifier and depositing blood into
it? That has to stop, especially if
you're working towards your very own
buggy and ornithopter. I did this as a
solo player. And the one thing that
helped me tremendously here is the
Framman death still. It's this little
thing. You put a corpse into it. Yes, we
can now pick up corpses. And in 1 hour,
I'll get 25,000 water from this. The
good thing is that in that 1 hour I can
do whatever I want. I don't have to keep
collecting the blood to go back to
deposit the blood to keep collecting the
blood to go back to deposit the blood. I
can do resource runs, servox, whatever.
And if I then return after that hour,
I'll have 25,000 water that I can use
for crafting, put a new corpse in, and
do the same. The main thing that held me
back from getting my buggy was not
having enough water to make the iron, to
make the steel, to make the cobalt
paste, everything I actually needed. And
that gets amplified towards the honor
thopter because you need 70,000 water to
make that one. And if you want to be
really crazy, you build 50,000 water
storage, throw your blood purifier out
of the window, and just put two of these
death stills out. So you get every hour
50,000 water. Bam. Now, don't get me
wrong, you could still purify blood on
top of all of this, but it's not
necessary anymore. Now, what do we
actually need to unlock the death still?
Because this one is going to be a bit
tricky. And then, how do we fit the
power usage requirements, which is
actually 200. And where do we easily
find all the resources? Complex
machinery. In order to unlock the death
still, you don't need intel points. You
actually need to finish quests. And in
this case, it would be the first eight
tests, these trials that you keep
getting sent to where the first one is
in the hogerbas south and the further
ones take you all around the map. Now,
in order to find out their locations,
you can go into your journey menu and
then click on view trial location behind
me and it'll give you a hint otherwise.
Otherwise, there's a Dune interactive
map in the description below that could
show you the location of every single
trial and also second, third, fourth.
So, the order you actually need to do
them in. My tip here is that you really
want to knock out that fifths trial, the
sixth, and the seventh in one go. I did
the first four easily and then I
actually let the fifths lie until I was
very deep into the steel era already.
Then knocked out 5, 6, 7, and eight is
actually going to be a bit tricky. That
is the siege over here because number
eight has a little riddle that you need
to solve where you have to match the
right symbols to what the Fman dude is
saying on the side. Before you get to
that riddle, you need to put the planets
in the right order in the eighth trial
to even open the door. And this
information you got from the all prior
trials before. Now we all forget what
they actually said. So this would be the
planet order to tell them go 1 2 3 4 5 6
7 and you're in. And then for the next
riddle, for the first part, you need
bind, dune, and grass. Then for the
second one, it's planting, shelter, and
downwind according symbols you can find
on the walls. And for the last one, it's
animal, ariate, and soil. But soil in
this case means sand. Which leads you to
the final riddle of putting the circles
in the right order. Now, I did play
around with this and get it done because
it was quite fun. If you want to have it
easy before playing around, you turn the
inner ring two times, then you turn the
middle ring one time and the outer ring
two times. That should be enough to
align everything, and your companion
will say, "Well done." This will finally
unlock the Death Still for you. Now, the
Death Stone needs a lot of steel ingots,
silicone blocks, and most importantly,
that complex machinery, and it also has
a 200 power requirement. So in order to
power this, I did build myself a good
old wind turbine omnidirectional. This
wants you to have calibrated servox and
also cobalt paste and the steel ingots.
The steel ingots you easily get over in
the double effort elarp and I'm
currently here in the top left corner of
the western miocab because that's where
all the carbon ore is. For the paste,
you can just drive into the rift to
easily get yourself the athite crystals.
But now, how does it look for the servok
run and the complex machinery? For
complex machinery, I like to hit the
western vermilious gap. Top left corner
where the rackage here is. And we're
hitting up the northwest Iron Works two
locations here. We're just pull our way
all the way to the Tividi. Walk up all
the ladders. And don't forget while
you're doing this, while you're getting
all this complex machinery, servox, and
that kind of stuff, this will also all
be needed to actually make your buggy,
which then afterwards allows you to farm
resources like you've never done before.
On your way up, you interact with every
piece of machinery as that has the
complex machinery in it. And in the room
at the tippity top, you have even more
machinery that you can claim. This
resets chestwise every 45 minutes. I
mean, it doesn't hurt to actually get
yourself more blueprints. And the
machines itself should be every 30.
There's one more in the corner that
gives even more complex machinery, tons.
Generally speaking, any animal base that
has any kind of machine in it. Try to
loot them because complex machinery can
be had everywhere. Now, for servs in
this stuff, I like to cross over still.
Top left corner, western vermilious gap.
Here's all my carbon. And you get the
eastern jumble and also the pitter's
net. And over there, we're not actually
fighting a single opponent. Instead,
we're making our way up to the base
with a little suspenser le. And then
inside the base, we're rushing through
past all these guys to just loot the
Why would we fight for our loot when we
can also just myself that identification
and get ourself all the cool things
This gets me also complex machinery as I
said and even more cobalt paste if I
wanted to plus ath crystals so you can
get some of the mats without even going
for it. And then you already leave.
There's two more chests in there. You
just got to build your routine up. And
it's night right now, so I don't
actually see them very well. And I'm
already off to the next base for the
next amount of servox. The maximum
amount I've gotten from one run of this
has been 80 servox. Yeah, 80. And in
order to build your buggy, you need 21
over there, 21 for this. We need 20
servox there. This is particle
capacitors. Particle capacitors. another
seven servox per tread, you get the
drift. You'll have to do this two, three
times to get all your servox for the
buggy, but it's easy as cake. Now, since
we talked about the buggy, the particle
capacitors I get from my Imperial
testing station number 13, which is also
extremely close to my home base.
Generally speaking, this is probably the
best base location in the game. I have
the video linked in the description
below and at the end of the video. On
your way back to your base, don't forget
to pick up as much carbon as you can and
also load that in the inventory of your
bike. And in not even 15 hours, this got
me to my buggy and also to my death
still. Now, I'll say with the knowledge
I acquired in the last day, I could have
done the whole thing in 10 hours, even
less solo. Now, since I've been
recording the video and talking to you
running around doing this stuff, I have
spent some time and then in the next 28
minutes, I'll just have my 25,000 water.
So, if you get yourself two death
stilts, you'll just log in in the
morning, kill two dudes close by,
collect their corpses, dump them in,
come back online in the evening, midday
later, 50,000 water, all your crafting
needs done. You can just pump out the
resources. And while you're playing, you
put two more. You'll have 100,000 water
in that day to deal with.
Just like that. This is how the pros do
it. This is how the deep desert players
do it. They just ignore that blood
purifier. At this point, I might as well
just disable it because I want to save
the 35 power and I could build myself
that second death still easily. One
thing I forgot to mention is at the very
end of the eighth trial, you're also
getting Aries pistol. Aries pistol does
34.5 damage per shot and just uses light
darts. If I would now make myself a
standard disruptor pistol with iron
ingots, the standard disruptor pistol
does 10 damage. And what about an
artisan smaller pistol? So the steel
ingot pistol that's doing 16.4 damage.
You get an absolute destruction gun just
like that. just by doing quests and
you're going to fly through the levels.
Anyways, I'm currently sitting at level
53. Before I started doing the quests
and going through the motions, I was
sitting at level 42. I I just made 11
levels with trial 5, 6, 7, 8, and on the
way, I knocked out one or two quests
that I had to do as well.
Tada. You now want to see the best base
location or items you absolutely cannot
miss because it makes your bike the
fastest on Arais. Enjoy and have a
