Dredge is an exploration game where players captain a fishing trawler to explore remote islands and their surrounding depths. With over 125 deep-sea denizens to discover, players must sell their catch to the locals and complete quests to learn more about each area’s troubled past while being aware of the fog that cloaks the night-time seas. If you need to know how to unlock Volcanic fishing in Dredge, we have a detailed walk through for you!
How to unlock Volcanic fishing
To unlock Volcanic fishing, you will need to have 4x Research Parts set aside to spend on the Rod Upgrades tree. You’ll need to start by researching a Flexible Fishing Pole, which costs 2x Research Parts. After this is complete, you can then research a Heat-Resistant Line, which costs another 2x Research Parts.
You will need to make sure you have rationed your Research Parts and allocated your time accordingly in order to have Volcanic fishing for Chapter 5, which is when you’ll be sent to Devil’s Spine and will need the ability to fish Volcanic waters.
Some Volcanic fish you can catch include Cusk Eel, Frilled Shark, and Pale Skate,
It is important to have a range of fishing rods and catching equipment in order to bring in a diverse catch each time you take your boat out. For example, you will come across different depths of water just leaving the starting area (The Greater Marrows) on your very first expedition from shallow to coastal. Since one of the primary goals is to sell fish and maximize your profits, being able to fish all possible areas you encounter will improve the profits from your catch.
You’ll also need to research special equipment and upgrade your boat’s capabilities in order to catch rarer fish and more valuable, deep-sea curios and hidden treasures. Selling these discoveries to the locals can also lead to learning more about each area and upgrading the boat to reach even more secluded locations.
We hope this helped you unlock Volcanic fishing in Dredge without too much trouble! Check out more of our Dredge coverage.
