Dune: Awakening Lets You Ride Sandworms - Here's How

While mounting sandworms seems like the ultimate fantasy in Dune: Awakening, most players' initial attempts end in failure. Surprisingly, with extreme patience and tolerance for visual glitches like screen-tearing or asset clipping, this impossible feat becomes achievable.

Though not an officially supported feature - developer Funcom reportedly considered then abandoned implementing it - resourceful players have discovered that analyzing the worms' attack patterns like Elden Ring bosses and reacting with lightning reflexes makes boarding possible.

Reddit user SgtDolphin showcased this improbable achievement through two viral videos demonstrating worm riding. Utilizing specialized gear including the Bindu Sprint ability for enhanced movement, Full Suspensor Belt, and Emperor's Wings for aerial control (via PC Gamer), Dolphin proved sustained rides possible despite the worm's uncontrollable nature and frequent involuntary dismounts.

"The experience remains highly glitchy, particularly when traversing shifting sands," SgtDolphin explained in the comment section. "Dozens of worm-related deaths preceded these successful rides - it's definitely high-risk entertainment!"
