About

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.

How to Slot Artifacts

Slotting is the process of taking an Artifact and attaching it to an item of Clothing.

1. Inspect your Artifact. Each Artifact has a range of Difficulty, and next to that, two Proficiencies, and Bonuses below that. Difficulty is how hard the Artifact is to Slot. The first number is the Maximum Difficulty and the second the Minimum Difficulty. The Max Difficulty can be lowered towards the Min Difficulty if your characters Proficiencies are high in same ones listed on the Artifact. Bonuses are how each Artifact benefits you when you wear the Clothing that Artifact is Slotted into. 2. Inspect your item of Clothing. Clothing has Slots and a Difficulty as well. The Higher the Thread & Needle of the pilgrim who made the clothing the lower its Difficulty. Teasel can also be used to lower this Difficulty. The number of Slots is the number of Artifacts which can be added to that Clothing. Some Artifacts like Decorative Lace, add additional Slots. 3. Once ready select your Artifact from your inventory and right-click it on the item of Clothing you wish to Slot. This will show you what % chance you have of a successful Slot. It is determined by a combination of both the Artifact and Clothing's Difficulty. 4. Select Slot to attempt to Slot your Artifact. A successful Slotting will see your Artifact attached to the item of Clothing. An unsuccessful Slotting will destroy the Artifact as well as one of the Clothing's Open Slots. There is a chance to remove an Artifact from an item of clothing by making sure you have a pair of scissors, such as Steel Scissors, equipped, and turning the Clothing into Rags. This will destroy the Clothing. The higher the scissors' Keen, the better chance there is to recover the Artifact.
