The above map shows the Nethermost Cavity and the Bloom Heart. These are two parts of the Bloom, and enormous living organism, which can be reached only after embarking on the main quest - Into the Depths.
The Nethermost Cavity is approachable from the side of The Gullet. More precisely by using the hole in the place where the whirlpool was (M23.4). An important information is that it's not a one-way trip, so you can come back to the Gullet. Shortly after getting to the Nethermost Cavity, a crisis will commence and your task will be reaching the entrance to the Bloom Heart and then unlocking it. In the heart, in turn, you will meet the Bloom itself. It's a very complicated encounter, so we recommend familiarizing yourself with the guide to the Into the Depths quest.
