Dredge – All Rock Slab Puzzles:
Here’s how to solve all the Rock Slab Puzzles in Dredge:
Marrows Fish Shrine Solution:

The configuration for inserting the code is shown in the puzzle itself. The reward for solving this puzzle is the Sinew Spindle, a coastal/shallow rod with a 6% fishing speed.
Gale Cliffs Fish Shrine Solution:

These crustaceans can be caught by placing crab pots next to the shrine. The reward for solving this puzzle is the Mouth of the Deep, a 6×6 crab pot that yields three creatures per day.
Stellar Basin Fish Shrine Solution:
- Location: H2 Requirement: Hammerhead Shark, Ghost Shark, Bronze Whaler, and Blacktip Reef Shark Solution: The Stellar Basin Fish Shrine requires players to use four large, powerful fish to complete it. Those fish are the Hammerhead Shark, Ghost Shark, Bronze Whaler, and Blacktip Reef Shark. These fish can be caught in specific locations:
- Hammerhead Shark (Oceanic): Northwest corner of H1 at all times.
- Ghost Shark (Abyssal): Southeast corner of I-4 at all times.
- Bronze Whaler (Oceanic): Northeast corner of I-6 during the day.
- Blacktip Reef Shark (Oceanic): North K6 at night.
After catching these fish, players should return to the Stellar Basin rock slab and place the Hammerhead shark in the middle, the Bronze Whaler on the left, the Blacktip Reef Shark on the right, and the Ghost Shark at the top. The reward for solving this puzzle is the Viscera Crane rod, which can fish in Abyssal and Hadal waters and has a 55% fishing speed.
Twisted Strand Fish Shrine Solution:
- Location: D13 Requirement: Entwined Mullet Solution: The Twisted Strand Fish Shrine requires the twisted shape of a deformed fish, which can be fulfilled by catching an Entwined Mullet, a Coastal Aberration that can be caught with a rod in Grey Mullet fishing spots at all times. Such a spot can be found within D13. The reward for solving this puzzle is the Tendon Rod, which has a 28% fishing speed and can catch oceanic, mangrove, and shallow fish.
Devil’s Spine Fish Shrine Solution:
- Location: O14 Requirement: Two Malformed Fish Solution: The Devil’s Spine Fish Shrine requires two malformed fish writhing under the sun, and any of the Devil’s Shrine aberrations seem to fulfill this requirement. Those aberrations include the Ossified Searobin (caught in Armored Searobin fishing spots during the day), Infernal Eel (caught in Cusk Eel fishing spots at night), and Serpentine Mackerel (caught in Snake Mackerel fishing spots at all times). The reward for solving this rock slab is a Fathomless Flame and the Encrusted Talisman, which increases fishing speed by 330%.
