Exploring the eerie waters of Dredge leads players to numerous hidden secrets, including enigmatic robed characters scattered across the archipelago. Among these mysterious figures is the Figure in Blue, who offers a side quest known as a Pursuit. Completing this task requires catching and delivering three specific species of fish.
Where to Find the Figure in Blue
The Figure in Blue is positioned on a small island located in map grid square M7, nestled between The Marrows and Gale Cliffs. Navigating to this location during daylight hours makes spotting the island straightforward and safe from nocturnal hazards. Players can pull up alongside the shoreline to interact directly with the robed stranger and initiate the quest.
Unlike early updates of the game where hooded figures could starve if neglected, modern updates allow players to finish this quest without a hidden timer. Following updates covered in daily gaming news, players are free to gather the requested species at their own preferred pace.
Required Fish and How to Catch Them
To fulfill the pursuit, you must deliver three specific catches in order: a Blue Mackerel, a Tiger Mackerel, and a Snake Mackerel. The Blue Mackerel is easily found during the day in the coastal waters surrounding The Marrows. Next, head south toward Gale Cliffs to secure a Tiger Mackerel, which also inhabits coastal areas during daytime.
The final catch required is the Snake Mackerel, located further north in the volcanic region of Devil's Spine. This species can be caught at any time using standard coastal fishing equipment. Returning each fish to grid M7 advances the quest until all three requested specimens are handed over.
Rewards for Completing the Pursuit
Upon delivering the final fish, the Figure in Blue grants you a valuable reward called Haggling and Bartering: A Guide. Reading this skill book over several in-game hours provides permanent economic boosts for your journey. It increases your item sale prices at docks by 5% while simultaneously reducing equipment purchase costs by 5%.
Tips for Efficient Completion
Planning your route across regions minimizes unnecessary travel across the map. Start by catching the Blue Mackerel near the home port before venturing toward Gale Cliffs for the Tiger Mackerel. Save Devil's Spine for last to collect the Snake Mackerel before making your final return trip to M7. Keeping your cargo space organized ensures you can carry these fish alongside your regular daily catches without spoilage.
