Whale Excrement (left) and Ambergris (right)

If you are daring, or just foolish, enough to row your Canoe in directly in front of a Sperm Whale you will get swallowed whole. If multiple pilgrims get swallowed, they will all appear in the same stomach. In the Stomach there will be a small place where you can dismount your Canoe and enter the only way out - though its intestines. The intestines is a large labyrinth with lots of dead ends and piles of excrement and Ambergris will block your way. You will have to Dig your way through to get to the exit. Excrement can be Dug with Any Shovel to receive Whale Excrement and rarely Pinocchio's Nose. Ambergris can be Chipped with Any Pickaxe or Any Axe to receive Ambergris.

Digging through the excrement will add Insanity, which will very rapidly add up in Madness levels, unless you do something to lower your insanity such as smoking Tobacco or Drinking Milk. The way out will look the same way as the way in. Once you are out you will need to Swim your way back to land as you will not be able to un-equip your Canoe. As Sperm Whales are still traveling while you are inside, you may exist considerably far from where you were swallowed. Make sure you have enough Phlegm to make the long Swim back to shore.
