The atmospheric fishing adventure Dredge captivates players with its unique blend of cozy exploration and cosmic horror elements. While navigating the mysterious waters, captains can discover hidden secrets that piece together the history of the surrounding archipelago. Among the most intriguing collectibles scattered across the ocean are mysterious torn map pieces, officially classified by players as scraps of paper, which lead directly to a valuable sunken treasure.
Where to Find Every Scrap of Paper
To successfully reconstruct the hidden map, players must venture to the treacherous waters of the Stellar Basin region. There are three distinct pieces hidden within various shipwrecks scattered across the coordinate grid. The first piece is located at map coordinates 3-D, while the remaining two segments can be dredged up near 4-G and 4-J.
Searching these specific areas requires a keen eye and careful maneuvering to avoid the hazardous environmental threats lurking in the deep. Each wreck contains a singular piece that takes up valuable cargo space until the puzzle is fully completed. Captains should clear out their inventory before embarking on this search to ensure they can carry the newly discovered items back safely.
Assembling the Hidden Treasure Map
Once you have successfully collected all three pieces, you must arrange them correctly inside your vessel storage or local dock warehouse. To properly read the map, players need to rotate and align the fragments so that the compass markings point directly north. When aligned correctly, the individual pieces form a cohesive drawing that reveals the exact location of a hidden chest.
Interestingly, some experienced players have managed to bypass finding all three sections by utilizing online references or locating the chest with only two parts. However, completing the full collection provides a highly satisfying puzzle-solving experience for completionists tracking their global progress. Managing your inventory space efficiently during this process is essential for maintaining an organized ship layout.
Locating and Claiming the Sunken Reward
The reconstructed map guides your fishing vessel toward a fixed destination located within the H-2 or H-4 sectors depending on your orientation. Scanning the surface of the water from a high camera angle allows you to easily spot a distinctive sparkling area indicating hidden loot. Dropping your dredge crane into the shimmering waters will initiate a extraction mini-game to pull up the prize.
The treasure chest hidden beneath the waves contains multiple valuable trinkets and rare upgrade materials that can be sold to the Trader or used to enhance your boat. Securing these rewards early in your playthrough provides a major economic boost to help upgrade your engines and light sources. Navigating back to a safe harbor with your valuable haul safely concludes this engaging secondary pursuit.
