If one should aim for a Swordmaster title in Dune Awakening, they need to find two particular trainers. They are located at far-off locations on the map and are troublesome to access without a little bit of preparation. Here is everything you need to know to find them and unlock the basic and advanced Swordmaster abilities.
The Basic Swordmaster Trainer Location
The first training goes on in Pinnacle Station, which is north of the Pallas Shipwreck and just above Helius Gate. This is a high-level zone, so be prepared for tougher enemies, high heat, and the issue of your water draining faster.
How to Reach Pinnacle Station:
- Travel north from Helius Gate.
- Do not try to climb the rock wall where the gate is located.
- Instead, follow the sandbike-accessible path that wraps east, then turns north again.
- Look for a large rock wall with lights—that’s Pinnacle Station.
Once you arrive, you’ll spot Arno, the Basic Swordmaster Trainer. He’ll be standing near a glowing light, just like other trainers. Complete his quest to unlock the first tier of Swordmaster skills.
The Advanced Swordmaster Trainer Location
To advance your Swordmaster skills beyond the basics, you’ll need to meet the next trainer in Harko Village, a social hub under Harkonnen control.
Getting to Harko Village:
- You’ll need to hire an ornithopter pilot or fly your own ornithopter here.
- Upon arrival, go through the main road in the village.
- Continue past the red hologram outside a building called Hannivar’s.
- Before exiting the village, take a left turn.
You’ll find Seron Varlin—a NPC resting under a makeshift shelter. Complete his quests to unlock advanced Swordmaster skills and continue building your combat specialization.

- Use sandbike-friendly paths for easier travel.
- Completing each trainer’s quests is mandatory to unlock the skill tiers.
