Spoiler Warning: This article contains information normally only found in the course of advancing the main quest line.

Gyl is a location in Lake Hinnom with a small building containing a "recoming nook": a full-scale recompositer, a recoming reliquary and the vessel of the First Sip.

During the events of Tomb of the Eaters (quest), the player appears at this location with a new body. They are initially nude and without inventory.

Tips

This section is opinion-based. Your mileage may vary.

Recoming in Gyl can be dangerous as the player will appear with no items or equipment and hostile creatures may lurk outside the building.

  • Equip yourself quickly but thoroughly before eliminating any threats.
  • The recoming reliquary is extremely durable and unlikely to be destroyed in a fight.
  • It is possible to be ambushed at Gyl if the player has high Psychic Glimmer. Beware of Space-Time Vortexes which might whisk your belongings across Qud.
  • It is possible to learn Gyl's location prior to recoming, either from Trash Divining or factions who share secrets about "oddities" during the water ritual.
