How to Start the Iron Rig DLC in Dredge

As a seasoned Dredge player with countless hours spent navigating the treacherous waters of The Wallows, I can confidently say that the new “Iron Rig” DLC has certainly lived up to my expectations. This latest addition to the game is a testament to the developers’ commitment to providing us with more immersive and challenging content.


Players who have navigated through the game ‘Dredge’ would recognize that it doesn’t offer much guidance. The latest DLC, titled “The Iron Rig“, follows suit, with both newcomers and veterans finding themselves in the dark, save for a colossal oil rig visible from the starting area of ‘Dredge’, known as The Wallows. This guide will lead you through the initial stages, providing instructions on how to initiate Dredge’s new “Iron Rig” DLC for those who aren’t quite sure where to start.

As a seasoned gamer jumping into “The Iron Rig,” I appreciate that it’s designed to be inclusive, catering to both veterans and fresh recruits alike from the get-go. Much like the enigmatic quests in the main game, the starting point isn’t clearly marked. However, this game leans heavily on its immersive atmosphere to narrate its tale and lead us players along. So, while newbies might initially struggle, veterans will quickly spot two fresh additions that’ll give them a slight edge due to their prior experience.

  • Oil Rig: From the moment you are set free in The Wallows, you will likely notice a massive yellow oil rig off in the distance.
  • Floating Crates: Players will encounter missing cargo scattered all throughout the game world. New players will likely see these crates and assume they are simply random items that can be sold to the Trader. Reading the item description, however, will reveal that the crates are the property of the Ironhaven Corporation. It is noted that the owner of these crates can be found at J-15 on the map.

The floating crates you see are tagged with the destination: Ironhaven Corporation Construction Platform, located at J-15 on your map. It’s advisable to gather a minimum of two crates before proceeding to the rig, since the mission demands exactly that. For new players, it’s perfectly fine to accumulate and save crates as you progress through the main storyline.

Head to the Yellow Oil Rig Platform

After gathering not less than two containers, it’s time to navigate towards the oil rig which bears the DLC’s title. As indicated on the crates, the rig lies at J-15 on your map, nestled between the northern extremities of Twisted Strand and Devil’s Spine. Keep in mind that there is a vast expanse of ocean surrounding it, so tread carefully. Since it’s slightly nearer to Twisted Strand, you might want to utilize it as a refuge should you require shelter or rest during your journey.

Upon arriving at the Iron Rig, you’ll meet the person in charge, or the Foreman. If you’ve already gathered two crates, you can complete the initial task and establish your Base of Operations. This action will initiate the main Iron Rig quest in full swing.

As a new player, you’ll probably encounter drifting crates during your initial journeys in Dredge while completing early missions. On the other hand, if you’re returning to the game and have already finished the main quests, it’s best to head directly to the Iron Rig. Talking to the Foreman there will unveil new markers on your map, indicating the last known positions of the supply-laden ships. Even beginners can rush to “The Iron Rig” if they wish to do so immediately.
