=== Nephilim lairs === | |||
Each of the Nephilim resides within a lair that is placed somewhere in Qud during worldgen (mostly<ref Name="QasQonChuppah">The lair of {{favilink|Girsh Qas}} and {{favilink|Girsh Qon}} is called the "chuppah of Qas and Qon", rather than their cradle.</ref> referred to throughout the game as the Nephilims' "cradles"). These lairs are distributed as follows: | |||
* {{favilink|Girsh Agolgot}}'s cradle is beneath {{favilink|Golgotha}}, somewhere between strata 30 and 35. It can be reached by following the pits starting in [[Golgotha#The Cloaca|The Cloaca]]. | |||
* {{favilink|Girsh Bethsaida}}'s cradle is beneath {{favilink|Bethesda Susa}}, somewhere between strata 30 and 35. It can be reached by following the pits starting in [[Bethesda Susa#Temple of the Rock|the Temple of the Rock]]. | |||
* {{favilink|Girsh Rermadon}}'s cradle is located near the surface in a random zone of the {{favilink|Palladium Reef}}. | |||
* The chuppah of {{favilink|Girsh Qas}} and {{favilink|Girsh Qon}} is located near the surface, in a random zone of the {{favilink|Moon Stair}}. | |||
* {{favilink|Girsh Shug'ruith the Burrower}}'s cradle can be located in any zone of the map that does not already include a static encounter. To find Shug'ruith's cradle, the player must first find "the mouth of Shug'ruith" on the surface. They must then descend and follow {{favilink|Layer of resin extruded by Shug'ruith|plural}} to Shug'ruith's cradle. | |||
Of these lairs, the chuppah of Qas and Qon and the cradle of Shug'ruith are the most difficult to find; the player is unlikely to encounter them by traversing the overworld or by exploring random zones. The easiest way to discover the location of these lairs is to trade secrets with legendary [[Gyre wights]]. Alternatively, one can pick up the [[Trash Divining]] skill and hope to reveal the location of these lairs. | |||
