The above map shows The Gullet and the Chamber of Bones. These are two parts of the Bloom, an enormous living organism which can be reached only after embarking on the main quest - Into the Depths.

If you want to know how it is done, check out the page focused on that quest.

The Gullet is visited on the way to the Bloom Heart. Finding the heart is one of the most important goals of the Into the Depths quest. In the Gullet there are many hostile characters, but you don't necessarily have to fight them. You can find some treasure (some of it is located in the Chamber of Bones, which you can reach after opening a new Maw.

Entering the next big location of the Bloom - Nethermost Cavity - is the same story (map M24). When you get there, it will not be possible to get back to the Gullet. During your first visit you should collect all useful items.
