In Dune Awakening, the Sandworm is not just a monster but an environmental hazard that demands respect and caution. These gigantic creatures are drawn to vibrations on the desert surface and cannot be killed or fought off. Instead, survival hinges on evasion and strategic movement

Players should first understand the Sandworm’s mechanics. When traversing open sand, a vibration meter appears on the screen, indicating how much noise or movement is attracting the Sandworm. The higher the vibration, the sooner a Sandworm will appear nearby and head directly toward the player. Once locked on, the Sandworm kills instantly and consumes all gear, making avoidance paramount.
One effective tool is the Sandbike, which, despite attracting more attention than running, offers the speed necessary to outrun Sandworms. Crafting and upgrading the Sandbike early is essential. Additionally, players should avoid crossing large open sand areas when possible, instead sticking to rocky terrain where Sandworms cannot follow. Planning routes that hug rocky outcrops or use natural cover reduces exposure to these predators.
Energy-based equipment, especially the Holtzman shield, should be used cautiously. Activating the shield on open sand is a guaranteed way to provoke a Sandworm attack. Players should carry such equipment but avoid turning it on while in vulnerable areas.
For long-distance travel or when carrying valuable items, fast travel via Ornithopter Pilots at tradeposts provides a safer alternative. Eventually, crafting an Ornithopter allows players to fly over Sandworm territory entirely, removing the threat altogether.
When a Sandworm is detected, players should not attempt to fight or outlast it on foot. Instead, retreat immediately to the nearest rocky area or safe zone. Using tools like the grapple hook (available to certain character classes) can speed up escapes in critical moments.
By mastering these tactics—understanding vibration mechanics, using the Sandbike wisely, avoiding energy shield activation, leveraging fast travel, and retreating promptly—players can survive the Sandworm threat and thrive in the dangerous world of Dune Awakening
