Playing through Dredge, players will accumulate achievements pertaining to their progression through the story, how they upgrade their boat, and eventually the ending they receive. Most achievements in Dredge will relate to players’ pursuits in the story, though there are some hidden achievements you may miss if you are not looking.

While some are simple tasks, such as honking your boat’s horn, others are far more time-consuming tasks players must actively pursue. If you are looking to obtain all of Dredge’s achievements, this is what you need to do.
