How to find Aurora Jellyfish in Dredge

All throughout Dredge, you’ll be asked to collect items and fish for people living in the archipelagoes surrounding The Marrows. The tasks are simple and will require that you simply fish the area. But some of these things are harder to find than others; the Researcher’s Pursuit asks for a fish that requires more than just a fishing pole: the Aurora Jellyfish.

The Researcher can be found at the Old Fortress, Stellar Basion. This is the set of islands in the southwest corner. Dredge’s map. She’s doing research on the monster in the center of the islands — oh, yes… be careful of that — and needs three fish: Glowing Octopus, Firefly SquidAnd Aurora Jellyfish. The first two are relatively easy; if you sail around the island, at night, fishing at several different spots, you’ll easy catch a few.

But the Aurora Jellyfish won’t show up, because you need another piece of equipment for that: a Trawl Net.

How to locate a Trawl Net Dredge

You can buy a Trawl Net if you don’t have one already, and you can upgrade them using Research Parts. At the Stellar Basin, you’ll want to equip the Trawl Net and simply sail around the coastal areas of the island. Make sure it’s at night. It may take a few minutes, but if you’re in the right area, you’ll eventually nab an Aurora Jellyfish. Dredge makes a little ding sound when something’s been caught in your net, but if you haven’t caught one yet, you’ll get a notification that it’s been added to your Encyclopedia, too.

To continue your questline, bring these three to the Researcher. Don’t wait too long to deliver them — if they rot, they’re no good. That’s where she’ll set you off on another mission to pick some equipment. This equipment is important, because it’s how you’ll unlock the ability to catch fish in Abyssal spots.
