Lost Harvest DLC Walkthrough in Dune Awakening
Lost Harvest starts with a distress call: the Mithra wreck is north-west of Griffin's Reach. All contracts, ID bands, Testing Stations 13, 117 and 29, rewards.
Contents
Lost Harvest starts with a distress call from the spice harvester Mithra. Its wreck lies north-west of Griffin's Reach Tradepost in Hagga Basin. Help its three officers (Chief Hanso, Quartermaster Hix and Lieutenant Drangh), then follow Keif Villari's stolen package through Testing Stations 13, 117 and 29. Nearly every step pays out a Treadwheel module schematic.

Lost Harvest is a paid DLC, also included in the Season Pass. Without the DLC the distress call never arrives.
How to start Lost Harvest
The distress call comes after the early journey Moving On, while you are inside a watersealed base or at a tradepost. The first step, "Listen to the distress call", completes as soon as it plays. Then fly to the crash site.

Treadwheel Engine Mk4No tier · Database
Treadwheel Hull Mk4No tier · DatabaseThe Fall of the Mithra: the three officers
Find the survivors camped next to the wreck. Locating them already pays out the Treadwheel Chassis Mk4 schematic. Each officer has their own contract chain.
Before they trust you, Chief Hanso and Quartermaster Hix ask for the challenge phrase. Answer "Long live Argus Veer." With Hix, pick "The Safety Warden sent me. The challenge phrase is, "Long Live Argus Veer."" The other lines, "Ummm..." and "The falcon flies at midnight?", are wrong, and Hix sends you away.
Quartermaster Hix
| Contract | What to do |
|---|---|
| A Healing Hand | Deliver 10 Healkits |
| A Fighting Chance | Deliver 4 Improvised Maula Pistols and 500 Light Darts |
| No Trespassing! | Find the Mithra side entrance and kill 4 Kirab bandits inside, then return to Hix |
Finishing Hix's chain gives the Treadwheel Passenger Mk1 schematic. Craft the healkits and pistols at home before you fly out, and the first two contracts are a single hand-in.
Lieutenant Drangh
| Contract | What to do |
|---|---|
| Radio Silenced | Recover a Blue-lattice Kyanite Crystal, a Torson Soundshifter and a Twin-polarity Microfram from the Mithra's scattered stores; follow the markers |
| Boosting the Signal | Repair the relay beacon on the rocks, check in with Drangh, enter the side entrance, activate the auxiliary power console and reactivate the distress beacon |
Finishing Drangh's chain gives the Treadwheel Scanner Mk2 schematic.
Chief Hanso
| Contract | What to do |
|---|---|
| Search and Retrieval | Search four Kirab camps for Guild Tags, then examine the discarded Comms Device |
| Lost Within | Enter through the roof hatch and find three survivors inside the wreck |
Finishing Hanso's chain gives the Treadwheel Inventory Mk2 schematic. When all three officers are done, talk to Hanso again and take Following Up. It only asks you to call Keif Villari from your contract menu.
ID bands inside the Mithra
Villari's Prize: plant the bugs, then Testing Station 13
Keif Villari, the Spice Miners' Guild safety warden, wants the package his agent was carrying on the Mithra. An ornithopter makes this journey far quicker: land on the highest point of each outpost.
Digging Deeper: Testing Stations 117 and 29
The package was stolen again, this time by slavers. You recover it, then use what is inside.
What to bring
- An ornithopter: the route covers half of Hagga Basin. See how to get an ornithopter.
- Iodine pills or a radiation suit for Lost Within, plus a few spare healkits for the poison gas behind the side entrance.
- At each stop, land on rock rather than open sand so a sandworm can't take your ornithopter while you're inside.
- 10 healkits, 4 Improvised Maula Pistols and 500 Light Darts for Hix.
- A cutteray for the conduit doors in Station 29, and a turret or an automatic weapon for the terminal defence.

5Iodine PillTier 5 · DatabaseCommon blockers and fixes
- Hanso or Hix won't take your help. Give the challenge phrase "Long live Argus Veer.", not one of the joke lines.
- The distress call never comes. Go into a watersealed base and wait. If it still doesn't arrive, build a small new sealed shelter and wait inside that.
- Lost Within survivors don't appear. Leave the instance, fly away for 10–15 seconds so it resets, pick the ID bands up again and come back.
- "Find the access port" won't complete (Digging Deeper). Restore all three palm-activated power conduits first. Their doors have to be cut open with a cutteray, so don't come without one.
- Crashes in Station 117. If the game crashes there, log back in and continue from the last checkpoint.
- The door after survivor 1 won't open. It needs the Orange ID Band from the second survivor's room, not a yellow one.
For the full list of coloured bands and where they spawn, see our ID bands guide.
