Every Dredge Aberration (2023), Part 21
Tumblr media
Feral Lizardfish
Encyclopedia #219
Aberrant form of lizardfish
Description:
A bipedal body burgeons with primitive limbs, preparing for an ascent.
Tumblr media
Comment: …Is there really anything else worth saying?
Tumblr media
How to catch: These awful, awful things share the frigid waters with the rest of the new region’s fish. I’d recommend using the rod to seek them out over the dinky little net offered by the merchants, for reasons I hope I made clear in the last segment.
Bulbous Toothfish
Encyclopedia #220
Aberrant form of toothfish
Description:
Vessels feed a distended, fluid-filled body. A shadow stirs inside.
Tumblr media
Comment: I do hate that “Is this where pale graspers come from?” was the most optimistic line of thought I initially ran down at the first sight of this poor host. A trophy sized specimen can be caught nearing 7 feet long, that passenger is not to be assumed as some ignorable little cuttlefish. Horrible things have grown from smaller seeds. Listen, at least in my view, that bastard mystery spawn of the stars is a thing to fear in implication. Relieve these poor fish of their burden, and the seas of these invading strangers, and do it without guilt.
How to catch: This is a rod-only catch of the icey waters.
Grisly Shark
Encyclopedia #221
Aberrant form of goblin shark
Description:
Errant teeth push through failing skin. A single mouth is not enough.
Tumblr media
Comment: But can the other mouths also do this?
Tumblr media
How to catch: For time spent catching these, they can be a decent money maker for those still in the process of exploring the Reach. Rod them up from those dark, chilly depths where found.
Pale Grasper
Encyclopedia #222
Aberrant form of colossal squid
Description:
Hands of ice reach upward, a sharp hoarfrost blooming across whatever they touch.
Tumblr media
Comment: Enormous, eldritch, iconic… the largest and most infamous of the catchable stock under that ice. My theory runs that these colossal agents work on behalf of the great sleeping master, patchworking and keeping the flows knit together, even in these warmer waters where otherwise impossible.
How to catch: For most, this is the very last aberration, at least within the Pale Reach, they will obtain. They are a net-only catch that is only awarded to the patient and/or the lucky, to the chagrin of many a fisherman around the ice. Requiring 11 slots of cargo space, they are completely ignored by the brittle net, requiring you to have otherwise completed your exploration and tasks in the Pale Reach before even thinking about trawling one of these up. You’ll know the appropriate equipment when you find it. Colossal squid are already an uncommon sight, and their twisted brethren much more so. This is why I advise attaching as much other equipment known to raise the chances of grotesque catches as can fit to help the odds. At a whopping $500-$625 per specimen, you’ll think your time well compensated for at first. Not to burst any bubbles on that front, but do keep in mind that their incredible size rounds their base value-per-slot as around $45.45. This is a relatively high price for a fish, but it is still narrowly beat by the cleft mouth shark’s $45.83 per slot base price.
Fallen Stars
Encyclopedia #223
Aberrant form of sea stars
Description:
An assembly of asteroids, conjoined in the dark. Finger-like roots stretch down through the substrate.
Tumblr media
Comment: How many more will they send down? Less and less, Dredge gives me a world where I can look up at the great expanse beyond the ground and sea, and call it “the heavens”. There are things below us we were never meant to disturb, just as the things above should know not to disturb us. How many rungs exist on this great ladder?
How to catch: Taking only 2 slots and readily found anywhere in The Reach plentiful in life and measuring at over 50 meters deep, you shouldn’t have to do much waiting to get your hands on sea stars with your crab pots.
King’s Wreath
Encyclopedia #224
Aberrant form of King Crab
Description:
A clockwork crown of claws. A cycle of succession in the deep.
Tumblr media
Comment: You know, it’s almost disappointing that there were no new paints to be found from scouring the Pale Reach. I would have found the slate-grey of these mutated crabs to be a nice addition to the pigments available in Little Marrow, fittingly cold and sleek. I guess this additional grotesque collection will be keepsake enough for tackling the abominations of this living berg.
How to catch: Like the above, this is another quarry meant for the pot. Same depth and biome, just keep in mind that they take up a 2x2 square of space when selecting your traps. I still personally use the maw of the deep for all of my crab fishing, and I carried that habit unchanged to the new area.

Now that Iron Rig is out, I’ve begun to map out my Dredge tattoo. Hopefully I’ll get the last few images soon, but the wiki’s currently missing them.

how good is dredge? well i started playing it on saturday
Tumblr media
and finished ALL the achievements (including the dlc) today (tuesday).
Tumblr media
if you like eldritch/portal fantasy and a gameplay loop that uses gathering to support crafting (also the mini games for fish/dredging are fun and not tedious IMHO, as a person who usually has some mixed success with fishing mini games- i liked it and actively sought it out to get all the fishes), really cool aesthetics and has neat world exploration/secrets to uncover, WELL HAVE I GOT THE GAME FOR YOU. [it's been sitting in my steam library for ages and friday i was like, i would like to play something different from my usuals of ffxiv and destiny and well here we are. will write proper/more critical review soon and have up on patreon, but i really enjoyed this! also apparently we're getting more dlc in the future, so that's exciting! (the pale reach dlc is a little lack luster in terms of plot tbqh, but it adds some new tools and FISH that make it fun. it's also only like $6. the blackstone key dlc doesn't really add much unless you want to make it easier to get aberration fish/certain achievements- but if you do all the base game side content, you'll have plenty of tools for this too) ]
edit: apparently it's going to be added to the playstation plus library tomorrow (may 29) so if you have that, you'll be able to play it for free! (i played it on steam using the keyboard controls, tho it apparently does have gamepad support)

the dredge dlc is pretty underwhelming...
rambling, spoilers for dredge and the pale reach dlc below
it just kind of feels... pointless, in a sense? i won't call it a mistake or anything, but it's awkward to shove it into the og game since everything in the story ties perfectly together. this might just be because i've only watched playthroughs of the game, but i think that the only thing the player gets out of the dlc is a new net and a small mechanic that keeps fish from spoiling. it's nice but unneeded... pretty much like this dlc.
1) the dlc is just too small
to quote/steal/paraphrase a youtube comment i saw - "this dlc feels 70% free". and yeah, i agree. ONE new island, with ONE new quest line/story, and ONE new enemy. i get that they gotta make it feel like just another part of the og dredge, but there's just too little going on. simple things like a couple more characters and places would be worth it.
2) the story... lmao
dredge stands out to me among other similar games because you're directly part of the story, but not in the "outsider who comes in to makes things right" way. you, the fisherman, is (unknowingly, bc of the amnesia) coming back to make things right. or worse, depending on your choices. but with the pale reach, you just become the outsider story thing. and that really kills the vibes for me.
3) narwhal narwhal swimming through the ocean (ice) causing a commotion for no damn reason
what is the point of the narwhal. it's the only new enemy and it gets set up as a big mystery only for it to just eat your fish, clear some ice, and chase you. ok
i just exptected it to be way more important? like maybe you were going to try and take pictures of it since the photographer left (which, btw, she should've been a character to come back to), but trying to do so leads you down a lovecraft path and you learn what happened to the crew. granted that's the outsider story i just frowned upon earlier, but that's way more fun that just reading some journals and breaking chunks of ice four times to get a shiny anchor. speaking of, what was that four eyed giant ice narwhal thing??? i am. so confused
if i were to play dredge for myself, i don't think i would buy the dlc unless i really really wanted 100% on the fish and stuff. the pale reach is fine, but not that worth it.

Imagine my shock when I give this freaky fish capitalist scientist his Devil’s Spine specimen, and he turns into the very thing I may have fished and jumps out of a window.
I spent like four hours cleaning up oil spills in the world, cleaning every single one, and he goes and jumps out a window and fucks it all up

Every Dredge Aberration (2023), Part 20
Tumblr media
*Welcome to the Pale Reach~!
Fractalline Icefish
Encyclopedia #213
Aberrant form of icefish
Description:
Crystals of ice pierce through its body, distorting scales, teeth and fins.
Tumblr media
Comment: The fog certainly hasn’t lost its touch for craftsmanship out in these frigid waters. Here we can already find in this wretch a namesake made poetically literal.
How to catch: Found in abundance throughout those glaciers and cold. You’ll only need a rod or trawl net capable of functioning in the new icey biome. For now, focus on the rod, you’ll already have moved onto other aberrations by the time you obtain the superior of the new DLC nets.
Thawed Icefish
Encyclopedia #214
Aberrant form of icefish
Description:
Globs of flesh drip from this fish, its departure from the icy waters causing an instant, irreversible reaction.
Tumblr media
Comment: It seems the most unfortunate, compared alongside the former and upcoming variants. It’s fathomable that this is but naught one of the Deep’s rejections, unable to be fortified in fractals, and now all the weaker to ascent. Flesh brought ruin and change, failing to meet expectation.
How to catch: ^^^
Astral Icefish
Encyclopedia #215
Aberrant form of icefish
Description:
Constellations of light dance through its body, stitching fin to flesh and spine to bone.
Tumblr media
Comment: The most interesting of the icefish aberrants, and finally a true taste of the Pale Reach’s unique flavor of corruption. Somewhere in these waters echoes the song of the stars just as loud as the song of the depths. Your search, your hunger to listen and know is only just beginning anew.
How to catch: ^^^
Bubbling Char
Encyclopedia #216
Aberrant form of char
Description:
Seared flesh forms the mantle of an incandescent core. Water boils into the air around it.
Tumblr media
Comment: A charred char, if you will… or less playfully, a startling departure from the Reach’s expected theme, looking more at home in the volcanic crevice of Devil’s spine than under the ice sheets. Certainly this only makes the observation of the creature the more discordant from nature and reason alike. The only thing predictable about the Deep’s grand design is its indifference for the laws it did not decide.
How to catch: Pretty so the same advice as had for the icefish, minus the possibility of using a net, so, even more reason to rely on the old rod method.
Hinged Wolffish
Encyclopedia #217
Aberrant form of wolffish
Description:
Teeth interlock through flesh to create a brutish trap. Countless yet will meet their doom in the deep.
Tumblr media
Comment: What else, but another agent of the cycle?- The cycle of life, death, undeath, and unlife. The corruption must thrive and spread, and all that seeks to do either must feed.
How to catch: Turn those jaws into a device of the fish’s own entrapment. Suit yourself up with that ice worthy rod and go out for a little night fishing in the Pale Reach.
Craterous Seer
Encyclopedia #218
Aberrant form of stargazer
Description:
A bright eye spins inside an impacted socket. An answer from above.
Tumblr media
Comment: Give a round of an applause for this one especially. Out of all the new discoveries found in the pale reach, this breed of specimen is the one that makes me the most uncomfortable to look at. Someone please tell the fog and/or “above” that no matter how hard I search over these waves, I’ve still yet to find who the hell was asking.
How to catch: Save this for one of the last to mark off your encyclopedia. They can only be found with an ice-ready trawl net, and I highly recommend skipping the brittle one that is offered at the bleak pontoon. Patience and a little searching for your purpose among the ice will find you a much greater tool.
