Lost Dog is a Pursuit in Dredge that players can initiate by interacting with the stray dog on the east side of the island in F2. This Pursuit centers around finding a home for the canine, and while it is not mandatory that fans complete this quest, there is a reward for doing so. For those players that would like to know more about that reward, and exactly how to go about earning it, this complete walkthrough of Dredge's Lost Dog Pursuit is here to help.
Dredge: Stray Dog Quest Walkthrough
Upon locating the dog on the east side of F2, players must work to gain its trust by selecting a series of dialogue options. While it is possible that several series of selections can accomplish the goal at hand, here is one that is confirmed to work, and fans of indie open-world games should take the dog onboard once they have gone through it:
- Throw some fish toward the dog.
- Slowly approach.
- Call for the dog.
- Hold out some fish in your hand.
- Pat the dog. (x2)
- Leave.
With the stray dog onboard, players must now focus on finding a home for it. Fortunately, fans of Lovecraftian video games that are working on this step need not travel very far, as the Researcher at the Old Fortress in D5 is happy to have a canine companion. Indeed, all that players must do to complete the Lost Dog Pursuit is sail to that location, taking great care to avoid all obstacles, and select the "this dog needs a home" dialogue option when speaking with the Researcher.
With respect to what players will receive upon resolving the stray dog quest in Dredge, the reward is a Sapphire Ring that can be sold to the Trader in Little Marrow. While this may not be the most exciting prize, fans of fishing video games that are working to upgrade their vessels and purchase new equipment should not miss this opportunity to make some quick cash.
To note, the Lost Dog Pursuit is certainly not the only quest in which the Researcher is involved. In fact, players that want to continue progressing through the game will need to complete the first half of her Research Assistant Pursuit, which centers around catching creatures like Dredge's Aurora Jellyfish, at the very least. Fans are also advised to complete the second half of that quest, as it awards a book that provides a nice bonus after it has been read.
Dredge is available for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
