These trials are not difficult to complete but are vital for progression and survival on Arrakis. While more trials may be added post-launch, completing these eight will give players a solid edge. Pushing for the deathstill early on will allow you to combat your water deficit and progress faster, especially since refining higher tier items costs exponentially more water with each tier.
