Dredge’s Figure in Red pursuit is initiated by speaking with the hooded figure on the island in the southeast corner of L14. While it is not requisite that players complete this side quest, those that do will receive a book as a reward for their efforts. For those fans that would like to claim that prize, this guide contains full details on how to complete the Figure in Red pursuit inDredge.
To note, this pursuit, along with the others that are offered by hooded figures, is on a timer. As such, fans that have initiated the Figure in Red pursuit should make haste, or they may find that the hooded figure has passed away before they have turned in the final fish. While that outcome will not keep fans from earning the achievement that requires completion of allDredge’s pursuits, it will prevent them from earning the aforementioned book reward.

Dredge: Where to Find Cusk Eel
The hooded figure’s first request is for aCusk Eel, and thisVolcaniccreature can be caught around theDevil’s Spineatnight. For those players that would like a specific coordinate to target, there is a Cusk Eel fishing spot in thenortheast corner ofN14, and Volcanicrodsandnetsare both capable of catching the creature.
Dredge: Where to Find Sailfish
After returning the Cusk Eel to the hooded figure in L14, players will be tasked with catching aSailfish. ThisOceanicfish can be found aroundThe Marrowsduring theday, and there is a spot in the center ofI8. As with the Cusk Eel, the Sailfish can be caught with bothrodsandnets, though players will need to use an Oceanic variant for this particularDredgefish.
Dredge: Where to Find Frilled Shark
The last creature thatDredgeplayersmust catch to complete the Figure in Red pursuit is theFrilled Shark. Fans can find thisVolcanicfish around theDevil’s Spine, both during thedayand atnight, and indeed there is a spot in thecenter of N13. Notably, the Frilled Shark can only be obtained with arod.
As previously mentioned, players that return all three requests to the hooded figure will receive a book, which is titled Nautical Engineering. For those players that are curious, this book reduces the speed at which equipment loses durability, making pots and nets more efficient overall. While this is a nice bonus to earn, players should not be too concerned if the hooded figure passes away before they have completed Figure in Red, as it is certainly possible to reachDredge’s endingwithout it.
