As players explore the world of Dredge, they will stumble upon strange black stones on some of the islands. These stones are known as obelisks. They are of the same stone found on Blackstone Isle, where players find the mysterious Collector. Upon finding an obelisk, players get the option to lay their hand on the stone. Nothing will happen unless players have a sufficiently high panic.
In Dredge, panic is represented by the eye at the top of the screen. When the player is out at night or gets attacked, the normally blue eye will turn red. This will trigger certain effects, such as spawning more enemies, creating obstacles, and distorting the screen. When players touch an obelisk with high panic, it will be covered in red runes and they will witness a vision.

All Obelisk Locations In Dredge
The obelisks in Dredge are more of a collectible or fun secret than anything else, but for players seeking to 100% the game or learn more about the lore of the islands, the text revealed in an obelisk can provide some interesting backstory. There are a total of eleven obelisks in Dredge.
If you want to find the obelisks yourself, follow the glowing red beams that pierce into the sky at night. These beams come from obelisks.

Vision Description

I8
|
Greater Marrow
|
- The town of Greater Marrow burns. The lighthouse lies collapsed, its light extinguished. A red glow fills the sky behind a cyclone that drains the world.

|
Blackstone Isle
|
- Dark rocks erupt from the earth, piercing through buildings and trees. Through sand and crashing waves. Through the basalt pillars of this island.
- The newborn structures crackle with an unknown energy, crimson lightning arcing between them.
- The earth shifts once more and the stones lie still.

M10
|
Between The Marrows and Devil’s Spine
|
- A ship, tossed by waves in the night. Fog unfolds like a blanket from the deck, spilling across the ocean and crashing against the land. A distant lighthouse flickers a signal.

N15, a few squares from the Figure In Red
|
Devil’s Spine
|
- A leviathan raises its vast grey head, stretching up, up until it sits level with a bright flame cradled at the top of the ancient lighthouse.
- It watches the fire for a while, tilting its head and calling softly to it with a guttural song.
- Appearing satisfied, the beast slinks down into the water, gliding back to the depths.

P14
|
Devil’s Spine
|
- Blackness.
- A crimson rift opens in the void. Dreadful silhouettes drift through in a procession of teeth and tentacles. After the last grotesque figure emerges, a membrane spreads over the fissure. A distant groan emanates from the space beyond.
|
|
F12
|
Twisted Strand
|
- A parasite burrows into a large snakelike carcass. It feeds, growing fat and multiplying. Tendrils sprout from the head of the body and sense the water around it. The host corpse shudders reluctantly. With a cry that resounds through the forest, it rises once again.
|
|
E14
|
Twisted Strand
|
- A man flees through the trees, bloodshot eyes wide with terror. He runs into a dead end; cornered by the murky waters and his pursuer, he turns. A wooden spear flies and finds its mark.
|
|
E5
|
Stellar Basin
|
- A spore floats in the water, adrift in the current. Fish feast in a frenzy above, devouring its kin. The spore lands in the thick silt of the sea floor. Its roots stretch down into the seabed, growing – extending towards what lies beneath.
|
|
F2
|
Stellar Basin
|
- The green glimmer of an aurora blooms in the night sky above the resort. A distant boom shakes the thatched rooves and rouses dreamers from their sleep.
- The waters withdraw, exposing the coral to the warm air. Confused creatures chitter and seek out their hiding places. Moments later the waters return; crashing, seething, sweeping souls out to sea.

P2 near one of the Rock Slab Fish Shrines
|
Gale Cliffs
|
- A blustery wind screams through the cliffs, diving and turning. It passes over a large wooden ship at anchor, all flags filling suddenly. A skinless face appears on the fluttering fabric. A wail of terror rises from the crew.
|
|
M3
|
Gale Cliffs, where players can find Conger Eels
|
- A heart of stone wrapped in a twisting tail. A serpentine body uncoils, teeth rasping at its earthen shell. Larger now. Bursting through the cliffs, sending rocks tumbling into the water. An eye opens to this new world.
