How to Get a Worm Tooth in Dune: Awakening – Step-by-Step Guide
The Worm Tooth is a sought-after rare item in Dune: Awakening used to craft powerful yet fragile Unfixed Crysknives. Ironically, obtaining one requires purposely letting a sandworm eat you. This guide walks you through the safest, most efficient way to get a Worm Tooth.
What Is a Worm Tooth?
A Worm Tooth is a quest-critical resource dropped when a sandworm consumes your character. It’s used to craft Unfixed Crysknives, melee weapons available after completing the Fourth Trial. Despite their strength, Crysknives degrade quickly, so you’ll need multiple Worm Teeth to stay combat-ready.
Why You Want a Worm Tooth
- Craft powerful melee weapons (Unfixed Crysknives)
- Essential for late-game Trials and PvP
- Each Worm Tooth grants one Crysknife—requires plant fiber + tooth to craft often
Step 1: Prepare Before You Die
Make sure to remove all items from your inventory and store them in a safe container:
- Store armor, tools, resources, and belongings in a watertight base or trade post.
- Keep just a plant fiber or two in your inventory if available.
Step 2: Choose a Worm Spawn Location
Look for open flour sand areas like Eastern Vermillius Gap, west of The Anvil.
- Worms tend to spawn quickly in these zones.
- Wander on flat ground to increase chances.
Step 3: Lure the Worm
- Stay on the sand in that zone to trigger a worm.
- Once the worm appears, let it eat you—no running or stopping.
- You will respawn after being consumed.
Upon respawn, you’ll find a Worm Tooth in your inventory—unless it’s your first worm death, which triggers a cutscene.
Step 4: Craft Your Crysknife
- Unlock the Fourth Trial to get the Unfixed Crysknife schematic.
- Combine 1 plant fiber + 1 Worm Tooth per knife.
- Crysknives are brittle—carry extras or repair them often.
Step 5: Use Crysknives Smartly
- Keep Crysknives in your quick-access radial menu.
- Use them for close-quarters combat, stealth takedowns, or boss encounters.
- Always craft spares—they break fast.
Tips & Warnings
- Never bring gear when worm-hunting—death equals total loss.
- Worms destroy everything—be sure you’ve off-loaded valuables.
- Crysknives are temporary; always stock up on Worm Teeth.
- Use these weapons in coordinated PvP or to complete Trials.
