| - John, Jade and Dave's beds have been seen on their respective planets, and Rose presumably has a Quest Bed on her planet as well. For humans these Quest Beds are bed shaped stone structures marked with the symbol of the player's Aspect, adorned with a small pillar on each corner. The troll's Quest Cocoons appear as large stone cocoons with a circular slab on the inside, which displays the player's aspect symbol. The aspect symbol can also be seen in a glowing phenomenon the locals call "The Glow Shape" hovering over the bed/cocoon. If a player dies on their Quest Bed, or is placed on their Quest Bed after death, they are revived and ascend to god tier status, the revived self containing the consciousness of both the dream self and the regular self. Vriska seemed to have the impression she had to physically die in her Quest Cocoon to attain the god tiers. This idea has been proven wrong by Jade being placed on her Quest Bed by Bec Noir and still gaining hers. However, a dead player has to be placed on their quest bed before their dream self dies due to reflecting the real selves injuries, so Vriska may have simply been concerned about making it to her Quest Cocoon before her dream self dies. This process was seen in both Vriska's and John's case, as their dream selves started bleeding shortly before reaching god tier status. The resurrected god tier self is free from any of these injuries. The dream selves themselves apparently are teleported to their Quest Bed on Skaia when the real self dies on the one on their planet. John's dream body disappears as a whole when he is awake, and is shown on the Skaian Quest Bed when his real self dies. Vriska on the other hand was awake on Prospit the entire time, and when her real self died from blood loss, her dream self faded from Prospit, apparently to appear on her Skaian Quest Cocoon. Jade merged with Jadesprite when she attained it, as her dream self was a part of Jadesprite. Jadesprite was, however, not teleported to a Skaian Quest bed, presumably since she was her own sentient being at the time.
