In Dune: Awakening a player made a strange discovery. Before his eyes, a huge giraffe appeared, walking through the world. The community knows immediately what it’s all about.
What was that appearance? In Dune: Awakening, there are few animals on the arid desert planet Arrakis. However, player SuperMW5768 recently made a big discovery on Reddit. A giraffe walked through the game world on his screen.
But instead of being a bug, this is a feature that many players have missed so far. The community clarifies the incident.
Here you can see the giraffe:
Spice hallucinations at your fingertips
What about the giraffe? The giraffe that the user saw on his screen was not a bug; on the contrary, it belongs to Dune: Awakening and is intentionally in the game. As users explain on Reddit, the giraffes are part of the spice hallucinations in the game.
If players consume a lot of spice and go through cold withdrawal, they experience hallucinations that change the game world. Other players report about their trips on Reddit:
- Davidhalljr15: “I haven’t seen any giant animals yet, but the desert has transformed into a dead forest a few times.”
- Curious-Yam-9685: “I saw a giant whale flying by.”
- Helpful-Recipe9762: “You mean Baron? He is real.”
- best-of-judgement: “Once a bunch of Bene Gesserit-like people emerged from the ground and just pointed at me as I rode by on my sandbike. It totally scared me.”
- Mr-Bandit00: “I saw it raining between hammer and anvil; many people were fighting with swords in the rain. What really impressed me were the textures of the roof tiles on my house changing because they were wet. In a game on a planet without water, there were wet textures for the roof tiles… hmmm…”
- Melbonium: “I saw the snow coming down, a lot of animals, and a person in the middle of it all.”
Since spice hallucinations appear only rarely, many players are surprised when they actually see one. Even though the game explains the mechanics in the first hours, many gamers have already forgotten this mechanism by the time they encounter it.
Here you see what to expect in the future of Dune: Awakening:
Have you ever experienced a spice hallucination, and if so, what did it look like? Feel free to write it in the comments. If you’re currently relying on your airplane, you should better be careful: Dune: Awakening wanted to make everything better with the new patch, but one feature is currently causing frustration among players.
