When dealing with Lovecraftian literature, not everything will be handed out to you on a silver platter, and that’s how fans really enjoy the medium. Dredge does a pretty good job at this with all the plot twists and pieces of information that you trip over.
If you end up with more questions rather than answers, then the game did you right at the end.
But there’s still one end that you may have missed, so before you turn your back to the horrors you’ve faced you might as well give this guide a go before you sink into the bottom once more!
Secret Ending Guide | Dredge
You already know that you need to talk to the collector with the relics to get the normal bad ending, we say normal because this is what usually happens to people who get involved too much.
For the secret ending, you’ll need to visit an optional island that you might have missed earlier on.
Head south of Devil’s Spine, there’s an unnamed island down there at P10. Make sure that you already have all of the five relics before doing so, now head further inland and dock at the nearby ruins.
You’ll see the Old Mayor here so you might as well talk to him, don’t make it any more awkward and listen to his entire life’s story, after that he’ll tell you to talk to the Lighthouse Keeper next.
Go back to the Greater Marrow and ask the Lighthouse Keeper what she knows about the Crimson Book, after that, you can go back to Blackstone and hide the relic from the Collector instead.
Take the book and go back to the Lighthouse keeper, the both of you will sail towards G8 where you’ll throw the book back into the ocean.
What happens next is for you to find out, but don’t expect a happy ending where all the clouds over London will suddenly dissipate!
Remember, you’re a part of the ship, and a captain always goes down with it.
Now try the steps provided and get the ending for yourself!
