DREDGE: The Iron Rig – How to Complete Sabotage, Main Pursuit

The Sabotage is a main pursuit in The Iron Rig expansion of DREDGE that players will initiate after delivering all strange specimens of Twisted Strand. Doing so will make the Executive force the Foreman to start the drill, disturbing the creature below. The Foreman asks for your help to reason with the Executive.

This guide will walk you through the Sabotage pursuit in DREDGE: The Iron Rig.

How to Complete the Sabotage (Main Pursuit) in DREDGE: The Iron Rig

Check the Defenses Facility

As the Sabotage pursuit begins, the first objective is to check the Defenses facility. Select the first option to open one of the electrical panels to find a black box. However, you can’t do anything with it due to a lack of knowledge and the game will tell you to visit the Researcher, the Scientist’s student.

Meet the Researcher

Leave the Iron Rig and set sail to the Old Fortress location in the Stellar Basin region. Dock at the Old Fortress to meet with the Researcher and select the “About those defenses on the rig…” > “The workers on the rig want to find a way to sabotage them,” dialogues. Doing so will give you the blueprints for sabotaging the defenses to attract the creatures to the Rig.

Install a New Module to the Defense System

The next step is to install a new module ‘Rise’ to the defense system on the Iron Rig, but it will require a Dark Canister and an Ironhaven Crate. Luckily, you can get both of these materials on your way to the Iron Rig. Make sure to grab them and then return to the Iron Rig.

Dock at the Rig and select the ‘Defenses’ facility to install the module by delivering both of the materials. It will attract back the tentacle creature damaging the base of the rig. However, another creature will appear and attack the tentacle creature before it does any further damage to the rig.

As the cutscene ends, the Executive will run away from the rig and the pursuit will be resolved.
