Where to catch Bloodgill in DREADMOOR (2026 video game)

Last checked: · Public sources listed below

Father Matthias asks for two Bloodgill while Malcolm is trying to get a tuning fork repaired. Destructoid’s 10 Nov 2026 guide puts the fish south of the Trading Post, not on Matthias’s island itself. Once Big Hollow is open, the same guide says Bloodgill become much more common near the new Trading Post position. Early Access Update #2, posted the same day, added dedicated Bloodgill spots and a quest marker. That marker is the reason an Early Access player should trust the journal pin over a demo map.

A 30 Oct 2026 fish table on dreadmoors.wiki says Bloodgill was not in the demo and treated the name as something other sites had invented. A different fan page, dread-moor.wiki, calls Bloodgill a late-demo target. These fan accounts conflict; their version labels do not establish which demo builds included the fish. That is one guide’s statement about its demo build, not an independently verified absence from every demo version. Destructoid and the official 10 November patch independently establish the Early Access fish. Do not follow a demo instruction that tells you to skip the errand.

The baits Destructoid names are predator recipes, not earthworms. Rainbow Fin is 1 Fish Meat, 1 Metal Plate, and 1 Chromatic Scales. Flaming Belly is 1 Fish Meat, 1 Jaws, 1 Metal Plate, and 1 Swamp Lily. The Flaming Belly recipe is a purchase at Gill and Bozur for 80 coins. The cast is the predator one: skull-marked water, a slow retrieve, a small twitch. It is not the green-bar fight used on Snapper.

After the hand-in, the guide sends you to the ritual point on top of the island to place the tuning-fork prongs and the other items the rite wants. It also says to sleep before you travel back to the Trading Post, so you are not on the water after dark. Sale price, rarity, whether the fish can be farmed, and any respawn timer are absent from both the article and the patch note. Those cells stay empty.

Questions

Are they on Father Matthias’s island?

The Destructoid guide says no. Fish south of the Trading Post, then return for the rite.

Did the demo have Bloodgill?

Fan demo accounts conflict: one fish list says absent, another calls it a late-demo target. The official 10 Nov patch and Destructoid support its Early Access presence.
