Dredge: The Iron Rig DLC - Explained

[@teckdeck6480]

I find it sad and funny that you could just fish up the scientist showing how far his intelligence devolved to fall for the bait and get captured by the same fisherman whom he sent to get the specimens beforehand

[@jansasiadek2507]

perhaps it is his plan

[@MacBunny6978]

Woah really?

[@123890antonioj]

Yep. He - it - being basically a new abberant created mere minutes ago, has only question marks on its encyclopedia article, but if you go fully insane you can mouse over it to see that, it is another failed attempt of a vessel too small, having tried to hold a piece of something far too mighty and old...

[@jansasiadek2507]

To me he kinda looks like the leviatan, perhaps he was trying to change into that, it is hard to say what leviatan was trying to do in the iron rig, he helped when rig was about to be completly destroyed, by the "atrament" squid, but he did sink ironheaven ships, perhaps scientist wanted to be something that can challange leviatan, or perhaps help him, or they are not so similar as it apears to me, interesting fact that i noticed is that ironheaven wrecs are all close to islands, it is obviousely, so player can navigate there easier, and so the wrec is visible in shallow water, but maybe in lore explenation is leviatan sinking ships close to land as he does not want anyone to sink, just rezource transport to stop, unlikely cuz in good ending he eats u

[@coldfanta4963]

You also can't sell him. it's fitting for both the endings, too, either being one of the first to witness Cthulu's arrival or meeting the same fate as the fisherman.

[@basic2528]

[@El_Negro2003]

Wouldn’t find that much detail in Ubisoft games

[@JoeTheBlob1233]

I caught him by accident trying to get the charred sunfish, which was the second to last fish I had to catch besides the scientist

I caught him, but all it says for me is "???" as his name. I'm curious as to how he got the extra info to appear.

8:40 Glad we got confirmation that the big boy is on our team

[@seldonkarthstone]

Not really on our team per se, since he eats us in the 'Good' ending( along with the book to prevent the same thing from happening again). He's more like a Protector of the Sea, preventing whatever horrors in the sea from having a foothold.

[@Theology.101]

@@seldonkarthstone I mean… just because I was confused about him doesnt change the fact that he did what i wanted - ended the threat and gave the fisherman rest with his wife.

[@seldonkarthstone]

@@Theology.101 True, I can agree on that.

[@123890antonioj]

If you count ancient records, there's also that one obelisk at devil's spine where it tells of a past moment where the Leviathan just... extends from the water, all the way towards the top ancient Lighthouse (back when it was still whole and lit), and makes a satisfied noise while gazing upon it. It's always been amicable to artificial efforts that also oppose the darkness below, it's just finding it difficult - or more likely, it doesn't bother - to communicate this... preference to little humans like us.

[@glitchyfox2189]

​@@Theology.101the leviathan probably does not care what you or the fishermen wanted as its main goal is to stop the madness that lurks under the sea but thats just my opinion

[@walterruiz1925]

Something tells me rennick would not be happy,and addair would just be a jerk.Trotz would be making passive-aggressive jokes about the beira,muir would be super friendly and playful,and roper would be ensuring their safety.

[@fishygaming2554]

The dark substance from the packages is probably the black stuff you see when a fish gets infected. Infected fish also have a chance to turn into an aberration.

[@Fellamemes]

Wait they do? I’ve always just thrown my infected fish away because I thought they would just turn to rot

[@fangorn875]

Oh? They do? Time to recheck if they turn into the aberrated fish

[@DrivableNote]

good job little guy you did it!

[@shan_the_mage]

Oceanic cosmic horrors and ocean rigs run by greedy people who don't understand the powers at play, my new favorite type of horror!

[@notearthman794]

have u played “still wakes the deep” ??

[@shan_the_mage]

@notearthman794 no but I've seen gameplay and ngl, beautiful game with some of the best Oceanic horrors yet 👌

[@majorblitz3846]

Usually have the scenario being "they pissed off the creature" or "the creature pay them a visit" Or there is no creature, and it about the isolation from land, impossibility to escape without proper setup, stuck on a man-made island create for the purpose of extracting subterranean resource. Either way, staying too long on oil rig is definitely not good for you.

[@Listening_Books12345]

I always thought a good location setting for a theoretical spiritual sequel to Carpenter's The Thing was an oil rig in the ocean. The level of isolation and crisis-management is right on point! I'm really glad this setting is getting explored more in horror media

[@ABlueThing]

Half a meter from also fitting Subnautica

[@areszeudion5153]

Leviathan being a protective being seems reasonable, like it's preventing you to not get out of the map because the fisherman is carrying the book of the deep and if he were to traverse far from Leviatan's reach, god knows what catastrophe he might unleashes.

[@Maybe1Day12]

Oh 400K subs. That’s amazing, I can’t believe I didn’t notice how much your channel has grown.

[@nightmareriddenlibrarian2924]

The ending was honestly so underwhelming, I wish we got a way to defend ourself instead of just running away! The cracks had such missed potential, maybe they could've spawned stronger monsters?

[@jaidenkoch3487]

But new monsters did appear from what I can tell when playing

[@nightmareriddenlibrarian2924]

@@jaidenkoch3487 yeah, but only one can "scare" you unexpectedly, one is just a reskin of another enemy (Tentacle) and one is just a nuisance, all found in one place

[@bloodrage96]

I think the intention is that you play this and The Pale Reach alongside the main story. Having suddenly stronger monster all around the play area would mess with the main game's pacing (which is fantastic). I do hold out hope for something of this nature in the future. While Pale Reach was, while good, a bit iffy and short imo. The Rig is a step up from the previous DLC. Still a bit short, but heavy in lore and QoL stuff. We still have all of the left and right sides of the map for future worship after all.

[@honeydarlinggaming9156]

@@bloodrage96 I REALLY hope we get a "best" ending where we find a way to like... SEAL the entity or otherwise purify the book of the deep. Maybe it'll have something to do with the city that fell to the Volcano. Since they clearly have something to do with Purifying the deep entities as the Fanatic literally gets incinrated. And the light from the lighthouse seem to have kept the deep at bay as the Levi even sung to it happily. MAYBE even the flame of sky WILL be important later. Seems like a really oddly sepcific item with a questline and everything. Also the builder is an option for new DLC as she kinda just... Stops being relevant.

[@xerlapis]

thanks for the in depth explanation, Harry. im super hooked about this game now

[@its.ybliss]

Actually, it might not be Cthulhu but rahter his daughter Cthylla, considering she's supposed to be lying in the sea beds, have six eyes (and any Dredge player could have seen that eyes are everywhere), colored red with black rings, which are predominant colors in Dredge and having tentacles... Worth looking into it maybe :)

[@DanielleJurick]

Again why is your voice so calming

[@shadydaemon4178]

Excuse me, player of Dredge here. It the first package from the Mayor is probably just a regular wrapped fish or something, because the second package you can deliver first and the dock worker then becomes a husk, and when you deliver the package from the mayor, well, the dock worker just stands and holds it I think.

[@Ranshiki608]

Harry do you still plan on making a video on the Pale Reach? I never understood the story and I was hoping you could shed some light into it. Side note: Love your game explained videos, I always put them in the background while I’m working to at least not bore myself in silence please do a game explained on either Darkest Dungeon 2 or another horror game pls!

Side tangent, I hope they eventually say more on Dredge's future. I get that with Iron Rig and Pale Reach, the game is at a point now where they wanted it to be on release, but I don't want to let it go yet, I've never felt a game that so perfectly blended simple, casual gameplay and Lovecraftian horror storytelling.

[@RedragonReviews]

That was awesome loved the back story

[@gracebirss90]

shhh babe shhh gamingharry dropped a new video

[@StygianNightmare]

Wow that was fast Harry.. also, nice pun

[@Moodyman90]

Iron Rig theme seems to be more about man pushing too far into what they shouldn't mettle with while the Pale Reach's is forces unknown actively using humans to further their own goals. You can see it in the rewards for each DLC too, as Pale Reach has the anchor, the trawling net that's in line with the stuff you get from the shrines, and the book that increases aberration chances. Meanwhile Iron Rig is all about "manmade equipment, but better than the average stuff." Other than the bait, which of course is better than what the airman makes for you, the only long term useful item is the tea.

[@Colamanden]

I would have lover a video of the first dlc cause i did not know what was happening in that dlc

[@Fellamemes]

Its basically just, old expedition to the pale reach, 4 crew members get trapped in ice by big narwhal thing, uhh yeah idrc actually

#230(???/Deep Form), #219(Feral Lizardfish), #192(Defaced Skate), #178(Grinning Gar) and #212(Glaring Sunfish) and #223(Fallen Stars) i get the strange feeling all of these were once humans/are turning into one. i'm not gonna explain #230 cause we all know that one #219(Feral Lizardfish): let me be frank here, i feel like this one is probally well underway of becoming human if not human before. it's description quite litterly reads:"A bipedal body burgeons with primitive limbs, preparing for an ascent." it has limbs now.its becoming human #192(Defaced Skate): This thing just has a human face at this point. description reading: "Bones replace cartilage and erupt through soft skin. A frightened new form begins to emerge." From my perspective, its looks like its already developing finger bones and potential a human spine. Or it was once human and its tail is actually a human spine. freaky.... #178(Grinning Gar): it has gums....with teeth that looks awfully close to human teeth.... #212(Glaring Sunfish): those eye sockets look too much like lips....i don't trust this fish isn't trying to mimic a face #223(Fallen Stars): this could very well just be human hands that mutated. i could be very wrong here,as these are my own opinions, but yea....most of the aberrations are just plain creepy....the ancient's blood can do strange things

[@Yavorh55]

Oh shit i didn't know there's DLCs!

[@dmar.gar5689]

Cool video

[@ArtyAnikey]

I'm here to show my son how aberrated scientist looked because he missed that part of playthrough of ours and figured you can actually catch him. That's cool. As for collector, I'm still sure there was none really. The collector is the fisherman himself who found the book in the pursuit of bringing his wife back to life. Later he lost his memories and got twisted by the dark powers within the book to bring back what appears to be Cthulhu. Per Lovecraft Cthulhu was sleeping in the Black City deep in the ocean. The dark substance was also mentioned being on the walls of the city (but I think it was green there). So, I imagined the book (the purple one from the game) came up first pulling the dark substance and eventually the Cthulhu (through the deeds of the fisherman) out of the depths of the ocean. Dark substance makes stuff aberrated and drilling obviously helped with releasing more of it. Same as those insane tribes in the book (Call of Cthulhu this time), the corporation sought to communicate with Cthulhu. Anyways even if that all is not exactly as developers imagined it, Dredge is a very well-designed game for the lovers of Lovecraftian themes.

It kind of seems like the Leviathan isn't "good" as much as wanting everything to do with cthulhu, eg the book, and the goo. Like the fisherman is a competing fan(atic) of Cthulhu and that is unacceptable.
