Hooded figures are NPCs in Dredge that require particular fish to satisfy their hunger. They can be found in certain spots on the map, and once their requests are fulfilled, they reward special books that provide helpful bonuses.
Read ahead as we go through all of the pursuits of the different hooded figures in Dredge and share their locations as well as the fish needed for their requests.
Heads up: These pursuits have a time limit that starts as soon as you talk to the Hooded Figure. If a hooded figure’s request is not completed quickly enough, they will die. The pursuit will still be counted as completed, but you will miss out on the rewards. It is recommended to accept their requests only when your boat is sufficiently upgraded so that you can travel to the fishing spots quickly and have the right equipment to catch the fish. It is also recommended to complete a Hooded Figure’s request first before taking on another request.
