Every Pursuit in Dredge and its DLC

Dredge’s quests are known as Pursuits. Offered by the NPCs encountered throughout the game’s world, Pursuits often require you to fish or dredge items, sometimes using specialist gear. There are a total of 17 pursuits found in the base game, 5 in The Pale Reach DLC, and 8 in The Iron Rig DLC.

Main story Pursuits

The main story of Dredge is told through six Pursuits: a tutorial (A Fresh Start), an umbrella Pursuit (The Collector), and four remainder Pursuits that must be finished to complete The Collector quest and obtain any of the game’s two endings.

The six Pursuits and where you can trigger them are as follows:

1. A Fresh Start (Greater Marrow)
2. The Collector (Blackstone Isle)
3. Hermitage (Gale Cliffs, Ingfell Ruins)
4. The Bitter End (Twisted Strand, Camp)
5. Research Assistant (Stellar Basin, Old Fortress)
6. Flames of the Deep (Devil’s Spine, Ancient Temple)

Optional Pursuits

The base game also comes with 11 optional Pursuits. They do not need to be completed to finish the game, but they do offer unique rewards that can make the game easier or unlock achievements/trophies.

1. Caught to Order (Greater Marrow)
2. Package Delivery (Greater Marrow)
3. Grotesque Fish (Greater Marrow)
4. A Place to Rest (Little Marrow)
5. Lost at Sea (Little Marrow)
6. Castaway (Steel Point)
7. Craven Courier (Steel Point)
8. Best Before (Gale Cliffs, Ingfell)
9. Lost Dog (Stellar Basin)
10. Stone Tablets (Devil’s Spine)
11. Recording Rarities (All over)

Alongside the above, there are four additional optional Pursuits that are timed, although the game doesn’t tell you. These timed Pursuits require you to catch and deliver fish one at a time to each figure but they die if you take too long, failing the Pursuit – failing Pursuits still contributes towards the game’s overall completion.

The Pursuits and where you can find them are as follows:

1. Figure in Gold (Grid K2)
2. Figure in Purple (Grid E9)
3. Figure in Blue (Grid M7)
4. Figure in Red (Grid L14)

The Pale Reach Pursuits

The Pale Reach DLC features four mandatory pursuits and one optional, timed Figure quest. To complete the DLC, you’ll need to finish the four main Pursuits. They are:

1. To the Pale Reach (Automatic)
2. Icebreaker (Bleak Pontoon)
3. Ice Shaper (Bleak Pontoon)
4. Under the Ice (Central Camp)
5. Figure in White (Grid J-3)

The Iron Rig Pursuits

The Iron Rig DLC comes with a total of eight Pursuits, all of which are triggered at the Iron Rig site on sector J15 of your map. You’ll have to complete all eight Pursuits to finish the DLC.

1. Getting Power
2. The Iron Rig
3. Contamination
4. Defend the Rig
5. The Iron Fleet
6. Sabotage
7. Drilling in the Deep
8. Strange Specimens
