As part of the Assassin’s Handbook line of quests in Dune Awakening, you will get the Water Fat quest at the very end. When this quest has been picked up, you will be tasked with poisoning the water cistern at the Water Shipper’s Mansion, but the task at hand won’t be easy. You need to practice your stealth skills if you wish to complete this quest undetected. This guide will explain the exact steps to complete for the Water Fat quest in Dune Awakening.
How to Complete the Water Fat Quest Dune Awakening
Head over to Harko Village and talk to Elara Tuek at Hannivar’s. You would have met her already if you had completed one of her earlier quests called A Tormented Soul. Once you find her, speak to her and discuss the Assassin’s Handbook. She will give you your new task, where you need to find the Water Shipper’s Mansion, sneak inside, and poison the water cistern. Before you begin, you will require the following.
- An ornithopter
- A good sniper rifle or any heavy duty weapon
- Might require a Cutteray to unlock some of the doors
- Consumables like water and healing supplies
Reach the Water Shipper’s Mansion
The Water Shipper’s Mansion can be found in the World Map, just head over to the edge of your region’s map and you will be notified of leaving the region and entering the Overland map. From here, make your way to the northeastern section of the map towards Arrakeen. Just below Arrakeen is where the Water Shipper’s Mansion is located. Use your ornithopter to head over there quickly.
Find A Way Inside The Mansion
Once you reach the outside of the mansion, jump across the game and make your way northeast to find the scaffolding that Elara was talking about. Head up to the top of the platforms to find the mansion just ahead. Your next task is to talk to Yargun, who is waiting for you right at the entrance of the storage shed in the northwest. While avoiding the searchlights, run between the shadows to reach him.
Speaking to Yargun will reveal a back entrance to the mansion, so quiz him about its location before moving on. Climb up the walls and use your sniper rifle to scope out any enemies within the floating light sources up on the wall. Make your way northeast and drop down at the back entrance while avoiding the floodlights.
You can also head north to northwest to find another scaffolding, then use that to get up to the roof and enter the mansion through this way. If you have a Cutteray, you can attempt this entrance. Beware of the floodlight aiming around the area, act quickly and break open the hatch to get inside.
Find the Water Shipper’s Water Storage
While inside the mansion, stay on the sides of the room and avoid the floodlights. You can also hide within the foliage on either side of the room to camouflage yourself against enemies. Sneak past them and get into the corridor on the north to northeast. Once you reach the room pictured above, your objective will change to Reach The Target Without Being Seen.
Interact with the Water Supply in front of the desk at the upper platform to poison it. This way, you can complete the prior objective as well as the Poison The Water Cistern objectives in one go. Watch the cutscene that follows, then quickly run back to your ornithopter. You don’t have to sneak around anymore, so escape the manor and head back to Elara Tuek to complete the quest. You can also follow our guide on A Sign From Above Quest, which is part of the Assassin’s Handbook as well.
