How to find all relics in Dredge
Below we have listed all the relics in Dredge and where you can find them. If you're stuck, scroll down to find the relic you're looking for and see how you get it.
How to find a key relic
A relic of an ornate key is in the back of the Greater Marrow. You can dig it at night when a bright red light shines from the ocean, after helping the Greater Marrow people and catching your first exotic fish. This will trigger a meeting with the Collector, allowing you to obtain this Relic. Return it to the Collector so that the general location of the next relic is marked on your map.
Where to find the rusty music box relic
The second relic you will collect is a rusty music box. This relic is located southeast of Greater Marrow in Gale Cliffs. You will receive a red X on the map from the Collector to show you where to go.
This relic is stuck behind a row of rocks and you won't be able to get to it when you arrive. Instead, dock at the few available spots and chat with the locals. You need to find the Hermit to get the Pursuit and find the family crest. Once you've obtained the family crest and returned it to the whaler, you'll gain access to a new item, a packaged explosive that allows you to blow up small obstacles. Use the packed explosives on the rock wall, then take the relic out of the rusty music box.
Where to find a gem-encrusted relic
In order to get the Jeweled Relic, you must return the aforementioned Relics to the Collector before you receive a map marker that will send you to the Star Pool in the southwest of the map. There is a large creature in the middle of the region guarding the Relic, so you need to visit the Explorer at her outpost on the island to the left of Stars Hollow instead.
The researcher asks you to find three specific types of fishing in the area. You will need to upgrade your gear so you can catch Abyssal and Hadal fish. You will also need a trawl net to get one of the samples the researcher needs. She will then ask you to visit the nearest station to pick up some prototype parts.
Return the parts to the Explorer and she will give you a strange engine. You can use this at a station in the Generator to create a light that will cause the creature in the center of the Star Pool to sink into the sea for a short time. Use this time to dig up the gem-encrusted relic and return it to the Collector.
Where to find the necklace relic
The Relic of the Necklace is located in the Twisted Strand area in the upper right side of the map. When you arrive, you will need to swim through the mangroves until you find the flier. This guy was stuck here for years and lost everything. He will give you the task of finding parts for a mortar, and then ask you to find a specific fish to make bait for the monsters lurking in the area. To do this, you will need rods that can fish in mangrove waters.
Once you have the bait, you can visit the traps around Twisted Strand to lure the monsters in and kill them. When you see these creatures on your travels, you should stop and wait until they go underwater again. Once they are all dead, return to the Flyer and he will give you the Necklace relic like it means nothing.
Where to find a pocket watch relic
The last relic you need to find is a pocket watch. It is located in the Devil's Spin area, a volcanic area that has a big problem with fish. There are giant red fish that will hunt you if they see you, and small red fish that will chase you when they see you are attracted to them. To get the relic, you need to talk to the fanatic on the island with the three statues.
The Zealot asks you to find three Abyssal Flames in this region. They require you to sacrifice certain fish before you can collect the items you need. When you return the Abyssal Flame to the Fanatic, the quest will end anyway and you will receive the Pocket Watch Relic.
With this final relic, you can return to the Collector and access one of Dredge's endings. There's another one you can get if you've found a suitable NPC for now, but you'll need to play the game to find out who it is and how to get that ending.
Now you know where and how to find all the Dredge relics in this great Lovecraftian game.
