DREDGE'S ACHIEVEMENTS were a MASTERPIECE! - The Achievement Grind

[@shakurasender5583]

I really like how clever the reveal of the Collector is. They're a reflection, which makes the first time they appear to you way cooler bc you realize they weren't outside your boat looking in through the window, they were your own reflection in the window.

[@knyune]

Oh!! I thought the Collector was stood in a door way with a sun shaft initially, and then it turned out to be a mirror!! I didn't realize it was a window. :') I must've missed that line of text!

[@sczythes6925]

@@knyune it makes even more sense realizing that when you choose to take the book from the collector, you punch a mirror, shattering him into pieces further solidifying the fact that he isn’t real but a part of you

[@TehDroppedBass]

@@marishexe5500 Some time ago, a Fisherman (you) and his wife, Julie are traversing the seas making a living. Eventually they dredge up a coffin which, when opened, released (in part) an eldritch being. It also took the minds of those in the crew that saw it's contents. Flash forward some time, your mind shattered, you come to Greater Marrow to find work as a fisherman (completely unaware that the world is now corrupted and that your wife has thrown herself into the sea waiting for you). As you play the game, you are left two choices after speaking with The Old Mayor (perhaps an original crewmate?) and the Lighthouse Keeper: Throw it back (the eldritch book containing the 'knowledge of/the entity') or listen to The Collector (the entity manifest in your mind) and perform a ritual to unleash Cthulhu or whatever this eldritch thing is. There are some finer details in the dialogue and messages in bottles, but that's the SparkNotes.

[@NEEDbacon]

Also if the "Thing" crawls onto your boat and infects your fish you can throw that one out to save the rest. You only get the same value as if it was Rotten anyways which is like nothing. So best just chuck it and get something else.

[@wsads420]

​@@NEEDbaconunless you need the fish for a shrine or a hooded figure or anything that requires a fish regardless of it's conditions, because infected fish last forever so you won't have to worry about them rotting before you can deliver them

Fish fear me. Let any fish who meets my gaze learn the true meaning of fear; for I am the harbinger of death. The bane of creatures sub-aqueous, my rod is true and unwavering as I cast into the aquatic abyss. A man, scorned by this uncaring Earth, finds solace in the sea. My only friend, the worm upon my hook. Wriggling, writhing, struggling to surmount the mortal pointlessness that permeates this barren world. I am alone. I am empty. And yet, I fish.

[@TheJackMouse]

Just saying, splicing a game review in the format of a achievement hunting is kind of genius and makes these videos really enjoyable. It's one part game review essay, one part quirky challenge, one part lets play. And I *dig it*, especially the final little review slide at the end. Keep it up!

[@draconianvanguard]

I think that instead of Cthulhu, it might be either his daughter Cthylla or his wife; or even Mother Hydra, as there are a lot of references to hydras and "she" when the warnings are given.

[@DarkinBladeGaming]

Or it could be a completely different monster. As far as I know there are no direct references to Lovecraft's universe, so Cthulhu might not even exist in the setting

[@NEEDbacon]

@@DarkinBladeGaming Considering it's mere presence is causing fish to mutate and there's some magic shenanigan's going on. It might not be blatant but the connection is certainly there. At the very least it's Great Value H.P. Lovecraft. But yeah, given it's described with female pronouns and is associated with red (though missing a few eyes) is probably meant to be Cthylla, and not her daddy.

[@vertigo-gc1bu]

So I've played this myself and 2 things to add about things, the bait is easily used to gather mixed fush from the area your in into a spot, the amount varies. It can help in case you depleted all of the other spots, or just want quick fish, I completed devil in a whooping 2 days using bait. With research parts you can also find them when dredging for meterials, otherwise the traveler is the only consistant option.

[@Ofxzh]

If you’re skilled enough, the Devil’s spine is great for some early game items. I heavily suggest you either go there immediately after getting a decent engine or after the Gale cliffs.

[@heyiamtalkinoverhere]

10:47 "you know the drill by now we fished for money and fished materials for upgrades" meanwhile a giant fish is just swimming... like "dont mind me"

[@Samuel2010]

It the same as the Leviathan

[@mordicaikore9497]

You can also dredge any dredge spots for a small chance to get research parts, took a while but when i plat’ed dredge took around 2 hours circling the map hitting the merchant and dredge the spits to do the research

One thing I always like about your videos i that you often play kinda "obscure" games that I wouldn't even notice normally. This whole fishing thing normally wouldn't pique my interest at all, but the spooky twist made it a lot more interesting and while I probably won't but and play many of the game you've done in the last few weeks I've at least bought the game Bloodwash to play it myself.

I just finished my game 100%, was a great time, only minor complaint was research parts. I feel like we needed a few more given from quests as I was still quite a bit short at the end of the story. Note that I had a 100% upgraded boat and funds to spare so a lack of dredging wasn't an issue. I ended up "farming" the merchant for the rest of the parts but felt a bit lack luster that it was the best way to get those parts

[@DarkmegaGaming]

9:05 and thats twice. I never did see the game over screen. I was too careful and well prepared. so... thanks I guess? :P 10:45 I guess that was dead too. xD 12:47 because sometimes you just overfish and can't find what you're looking for anymore. also baited fish seemingly have higher chance as trophy or aberration. It also attracts fish from any time of day as long as you're in the right place. cause I had both sunfish and moonfish rock up together in one bait once. 14:30 not really. the fish aren't fresh. they get murdered. and not sure if you're proccing your "chance to not deplete" book bonuses either. It does have a fairly high if not close to gauranteed chance of aberration though. I had to use it to get a lot of the aberrations to come out in a reasonable amount of time.

[@snoodge-cv7fj]

I do have one complaint about the game, which is that I felt like devils spine and twisted strand felt a little too far from the rest of the game for my liking, aesthetically speaking, but I would totally still give it a 10, as that more or less comes down to your preferences for games. Overall it was absolutely amazing.

[@legionbeast]

It's "technically'" Mother Hydra if the entity is indeed meant to be female. She and Dagon are the progenitors of the fish humans from "The Shadow over innsmouth". They are gods to said fish people, but they worship Cthulhu and want to wake him and need interactions with humans to try and make this possible. The ambiguity is in how this is supposed to happen. By throwing the book back, you anger them and the leviathan devours you but they have no way of getting back into shape to wake anything. If you do the ritual, you get your "wife" back as it's likely you are possessed by Dagon and Mother Hydra possesses the body of your wife, upon which the reunion is able to wake the Elder being of Cthulhu, who proceeds to prepare the earth for the arrival of Nyarlathotep and the other Elder Gods, which involves everyone and everything basically going insane and burning to the ground.
