Complete Guide to Unlocking the Bene Gesserit Class in Dune Awakening
The Bene Gesserit are one of the most iconic factions in the Dune universe, and Dune: Awakening allows players to join the Sisterhood through a dedicated questline. Unlocking the full Bene Gesserit skill tree isn't as simple as talking to one NPC-you'll need to complete a chain of six quests spread across Arrakis, working with two different trainers and traveling through dangerous zones.
This guide breaks down every quest step, location, reward, and tip you'll need to master the Sisterhood. By the end, you'll not only unlock every Bene Gesserit ability but also earn exclusive rewards like the Adept Disruptor Pistol and final capstone skills.
Bene Gesserit Quest Checklist
Here's the complete quest order so you can track your progress:
The Missing Pieces - Helius Gate & O'odham
Sacred Records - Harko Village, Mirzabah, Stone Sentinel
The Missionaria Protectiva - Stepstone Village, House of Ilm
The Impact of Ecology - Testing Station 71, Hannivar's Bar
Secrets of the Syndicate - The Slant, Sentinel City, Wreck of Ourea, Khala Cavern
The Rogue Bene Gesserit - Hagga Basin, Harko Village
Quest 1: The Missing Pieces - Unlock Basic Skills
Your Bene Gesserit journey begins with Sister Mesa at Helius Gate in the Eastern Shield Wall. Speak to her near the vendor stalls to start.
Travel to Stepstone Village in O'odham and climb a pillar to collect the first ancient Text.
Continue west of Rockwarren Village, enter the cavern, and climb to a ledge for the second Text.
Return both to Sister Mesa to unlock the basic Bene Gesserit skill tree.
Rewards: 700 XP, Bene Gesserit Skill Tree unlocked
Tip: Bring an ornithopter or Suspensor Belt to skip long climbs.
Quest 2: Sacred Records - Unlock Tier 2 Skills
The next trainer is Jocasta Cleo in Harko Village (north-east by the Weapons Merchant). She will guide you deeper into Bene Gesserit history.
Travel to Mirzabah in Eastern Vermillius Gap. Use a Purple ID band to unlock the north entrance, then climb through a ceiling gap to retrieve the first record.
Head to the Stone Sentinel in Eastern Shield Wall, climb the spire, and recover the List of Naibs.
Return both items to Jocasta.
Rewards: 700 XP, 2 Bene Gesserit Skill Points
Tip: Plan fuel carefully; climbing the Stone Sentinel can be punishing without Suspensor Belts.
Quest 3: The Missionaria Protectiva - Unlock Tier 3 Skills
Jocasta now tasks you with uncovering the secrets of the Missionaria Protectiva.
Return to Stepstone Village in O'odham. Climb into the top room and scan the table for data.
Travel south to the House of Ilm. Enter the lower level, collect the fragment near the entrance, and exit.
Report back to Jocasta in Harko Village.
Rewards: 700 XP, 3 Bene Gesserit Skill Points
Tip: A Shigawire Grapple helps bypass enemies here.
Quest 4: The Impact of Ecology - Unlock Litany Against Fear
This quest explores ecological experiments and introduces Syndicate interference.
Speak with Jocasta in Harko Village.
Head to Testing Station 71 in O'odham. Clear the left wing for an ID band, then the right wing for a second.
Enter the central chamber, defeat Syndicate enemies, and recover Kynes's Book.
Back in Harko Village, follow a citizen's directions to Hannivar's Bar. Buy a Spiced Beer to convince a mercenary to talk.
Travel to O'odham to find Jocasta hiding under a cliff. Return to complete the quest.
Rewards: 700 XP, unlock Litany Against Fear capstone skill
Tip: Equip Aluminum Dune Awakening Items for the final chamber fight-it's tough. You need Dune Awakening Solari and rare Items to improve your class.
Quest 5: Secrets of the Syndicate - Unlock Screech
This mission spans several hostile regions and climaxes in a Syndicate ambush.
Collect a book in The Slant (Hagga Rift, second floor).
Retrieve a scroll in Sentinel City, near a ramp inside the mountain.
Fly south to the Wreck of the Ourea in Sheol. Grab a book from a table while avoiding radiation.
Travel to Khala Cavern in Mysa Tarill. After clearing enemies, ascend to the platform where the Syndicate Leader ambushes you. Defeat him and loot the Flight Logs.
Return to Jocasta in Harko Village.
Rewards: 700 XP, Screech skill, 5 Bene Gesserit Skill Points
Tip: A Radiation Suit is required at Ourea. The Syndicate Leader is extremely tough-bring strong weapons and allies if possible.
Quest 6: The Rogue Bene Gesserit - Unlock Final Skills & Disruptor Pistol
The finale tests your mastery of Bene Gesserit powers and culminates in an encounter with Margot Fenring.
Use The Voice: Compel around 15-20 times on enemy NPCs in South Hagga Basin.
Activate Litany Against Fear about 10 times in the open world.
Speak to Margot Fenring at the Imperial Consulate in Harko Village.
Report back to Jocasta to finish the chain.
Rewards: 700 XP, Adept Disruptor Pistol, unlock Bindu Dodge, and final Bene Gesserit capstones
Tip: Use Prescient State to lower cooldowns while spamming Compel. The Adept Disruptor Pistol excels at breaking shields but has a charge delay.
