Dredge Best Before cover

Best Before is one of the various side pursuits in Dredge where players will be tasked with getting a fish that is part of a delicacy in Gale Cliffs. However, this fish can only be found in a certain area, and it has to be prepared a certain way.

Read ahead as we go through the steps on how to complete the Best Before pursuit in Dredge.

Step 1: Go to Ingfell and talk to the Ingfell Resident

Make your way to Ingfell and talk to the Ingfell resident, who will ask for your help in catching a Conger Eel for a delicacy that she wants.

Step 2: Catch the Conger Eel

Conger eels can only be caught in the southwest channel of O3 using a shallow rod at night. This location is dangerous because of the Serpent that patrols the area. It’s best to get the Banish ability first so that you can thwart off the Serpent and fish in peace.

You will need to have progressed enough through the Hermitage pursuit to be able to get hold of explosives and reach the area.

Step 3: Let the Conger Eel get into rotting state

Make your way back to Ingfell, and before giving it to the resident, you will have to let the eel go into its rotting state. This can be done by keeping the eel in your boat for roughly just less than a full day. You can speed up time by resting at the dock. Make sure to keep an eye out and don’t let it go to rot completely. Hand it over to the resident once it starts rotting. You will be rewarded with $150 for completing the pursuit.
