A Final Test

Step	Guide
1	The final part of the Trials of Aql can be found in the Sietch Tal'ab accessible at the border of the Eastern Shield Wall and Mysa Tarill.
2	Head as far as you can into the sietch until blocked by the Ornate Door. Approach it, and it will start to question you about the Fremen. Respond with the following answers: ・Nilotic al-Ourouba ・Poritrin ・Salusa Secundus ・Bela Teguese ・Rossak ・Thurgrod ・Harmonthep
3	After these answers, the door will open with a brief cutscene. Explore further into the sietch and turn right to find stairs leading down. Make your way through this area and prepare your cutteray as multiple stone boulders must be cut.
4	After finding a staircase going up, head to the left to find a room with a hologram. In this room, there are walls with symbols that correlate to the lessons the projection is discussing. Use the buttons in the middle to match the symbols on the arch to its words to proceed. Bind - Dune - Grass Planting - Shelter - Downwind Animal - Aerate - Soil
5	Enter the newly opened door to continue exploring the sietch until you reach a wide area with a mechanism. The goal for the ring puzzle is to rotate the rings until the door connects to the deathstill. You'll know you have completed the Puzzle when your companion says 'Very Good". After completing the puzzle, interact with the deathstill to open the door.
6	Proceed to the hallway until a cutscene plays where a projection tells you about a safe hidden within the walls. The safe is on the left console near the door you used to enter the room. Interact with the console to use your blood to open the safe.
7	Proceed to the newly opened door behind the central console and drop down to the wide area until a cutscene plays. Survive the assault by killing all enemies then exit the sietch to complete the quest.
