Introduction - How to Reach The Hollow Hammer
Getting to the Hollow Hammer in Dune: Awakening for the Fourth Trial of AQL can be tricky if you're not sure where to start. The mountain terrain, paired with limited visual clues, can leave even experienced players second-guessing themselves. This guide walks you through everything you need—movement tips, tech usage, climbing routes—to successfully scale your way to the Hollow Hammer.
Whether you're using climbing tech like Emperor’s Wings or tackling the route with manual skills, we’ll break it down step-by-step. Let’s make sure you don’t waste any more time guessing where to climb or how to time your moves.
Getting Set Up: What You Need Before the Climb
Before you even step foot on the mountain path leading to the Hollow Hammer, make sure you’ve got the right tools and abilities in your arsenal. If you're playing a class with enhanced mobility options—especially the Trooper Class—you’ll have a much easier time with this climb.
Here’s what you’ll want to have ready:
-
Movement Tech: Equip Emperor’s Wings and Shigawire Grapple for the smoothest route.
-
Stamina Boost Items: These will come in handy if you're climbing manually.
-
Environmental Awareness: Keep an eye on the terrain—visual cues like ledges and structures will guide you.
If you’re going for a tech-free climb, it’s absolutely possible. It just takes some trial, error, and patience.
Starting the Climb: Find the Right Side of the Mountain
This is where most players get stuck—figuring out where to start. Look for the side of the mountain with distinct ledges and nearby structures. These visual markers show that you're on the correct path.
Pro Tip: If you stand too close to the mountain while using your grapple, you’ll lose momentum. Instead:
-
Grapple toward a ledge that’s just within range.
-
Don’t walk forward; instead, press your movement key away from the mountain.
-
As you’re propelled forward, hit jump (spacebar) to carry your momentum upward.
You don’t need perfect execution right away. A few practice tries, and you’ll have it down.
Following the Path: Climbing with Movement Tech
Once you’ve landed on the first ledge using your grapple or manual climb, the path begins to reveal itself. Look for stone platforms, railings, or any unusual environmental structures—these are the in-game hints pointing you in the right direction.
If you're using Emperor’s Wings, time your boost after a successful grapple for additional vertical lift. Here’s a quick sequence to remember:
-
Grapple > Pull > Opposite Movement Key > Jump > Boost
Use this rhythm to chain your movements from one ledge to another. Repeat this along the rock wall, always looking a few meters ahead to spot your next anchor point.
Keep an eye on your stamina if you're climbing manually. Rest briefly between hops or look for flatter areas to recover without falling.
Approaching the Hollow Hammer Summit
As you get closer to the top, the number of climbable platforms starts to thin out. This is where you’ll need to rely more on precision and less on spamming movement skills.
You’ll know you’re almost there when:
-
The mountain starts to flatten slightly.
-
You see a large prayer flag post up ahead.
-
There’s a wide ledge with a clear standing space.
If you’re unsure, backtrack a bit and look for alternate paths—there are a couple of “almost invisible” routes tucked into shadowed ledges.
Once you spot the flagpole, you’re on the final stretch. One or two grapples and a good jump should land you right next to the entrance of the Hollow Hammer area.
Final Steps: Reaching the Hollow Hammer Entrance
You’ve made it this far, and the final push is mostly about staying focused. The ledge just before the Hollow Hammer entrance is narrow and sloped, so avoid rushing your final jumps.
Do a quick check:
-
Make sure your movement tech cooldowns are ready.
-
Line up your last grapple with a safe landing area.
-
Don’t jump too early; let the grapple carry you up fully before making your final ascent.
After this final maneuver, you’ll land in front of the Hollow Hammer, marking the completion of the vertical segment for the Fourth Trial of AQL.
There’s a moment of quiet here—perfect for placing a prayer flag if you’ve brought one. It’s a small but meaningful way to commemorate your climb.
Conclusion: Mastering the Fourth Trial Climb
The climb to the Hollow Hammer in Dune: Awakening is less about raw skill and more about timing, patience, and recognizing the game’s environmental clues. With the right gear, some practiced movements, and a bit of in-game intuition, you can reach the Fourth Trial without a hitch.
Remember these takeaways:
-
Start from the correct side with visible structures.
-
Use movement tech smartly, not randomly.

Manual climbers should pace themselves to avoid burnout.

Look for environmental hints like ledges and flags.

The journey is part of the trial—take your time.
