Dune Awakening: Imperial Station 2 complete walkthrough

Imperial Station 2 is one of the many testing stations in Dune Awakening that can provide an incredible amount of loot. Apart from that, the location also features story quests and provides components that are required to craft a Sandbike.

Exploring the entire station can take a lot of time, and throughout that run, you’ll also encounter hostile NPCs. This guide will walk you through Imperial Station 2, along with providing tips for finding loot and fighting the boss.

The Imperial Testing Station 2 is present in the starting area of Hagga Basin in Dune Awakening. It’s a good place to acquire loot early on, and it also helps you get two important things in the game: your Sandbike and The Emperor's Wings Mk1 Suspensor Belt.

You can also pick up a quest from Derek Chinara, who is present right above the station. If you are looking for the station and find the NPC, you are standing right above the destination. Upon entering, the early pathway pretty much goes down.

Make sure to look around for a yellow-colored identification band. This will allow you access to the first section of the station. There’s plenty of loot to grab inside, so take your time and explore every corner.

Hidden chests and first loot room

While exploring, be on the lookout for hidden loot chests. These are hiding in plain sight, usually around small nurseries with plants. If you are planning to build a Sandbike, these chests will provide you necessary components like Advanced Servoks and Particle Capacitor.

Once you start getting loot, you’ll also encounter hostile NPCs. Make your way to a round, brightly lit room containing multiple loot chests and a bonfire. If you’re worried about getting lost, don’t be.

The path you take after getting the first identification band leads straight to that room. There’s a massive spiral stairway leading down just outside. Use this as an identification for the first loot room.

Pick up everything inside, including the items from the massive chest, which can contain one of the parts for your Sandbike. Once you’re done looting, head down the spiral stairway.

Second section of Imperial Station 2 and secret room

Similar to entering the first section, you’ll need another identification band for the second section of Imperial Station 2. This one will be purple-colored and is found in another nursery. After exiting the room with spiral stairway, look on the left side.

Right beside the nursery on the right is a wall with yellow light. Get close and interact with the light to enter a secret room. This room will contain more loot, including another part for Sandbike and a quest item. Note that you can get the same parts twice, so good luck.

Continuing down the original pathway, you’ll come across another doorway. Thankfully, you have the identification band to go through. This is also the boss room.

Imperial Station 2 boss fight

After entering the room, the boss will be waiting right beside the loot chest. Since it’s a shielded NPC, regular darts won’t be as effective. Use either poison darts or melee stabs to take down the shields.

If you’re underpowered, the boss may pose a little challenge, as you may not be able to tank many hits. If you have the Voice ability, getting a few stabs early on can help a lot. Flurry Slash is also very useful here with melee strikes.

After defeating the boss, you’ll gain access to the final loot room. There’ll be another identification band inside the final chest room. Now you have two options: either wait for the boss to respawn, or pick up the identification band to go for the secret chest.

This is the first locked room after you enter the station, access to which is available only after defeating the boss. Loot the area and backtrack to get out of the station. As of now, you can wait for the boss chest to respawn to grab loot multiple times to try and get all Sandbike components.
