Honestly I'm rather worried about that. Scratch and Rose's Conversation is what I'm quoting here:
>Because, much like the decisions you must face to complete your dual suicide missions, you have two ways of achieving godhood to choose from. >TT: Two ways? >TT: By dying on the Quest Bed on my planet, and some other way? >Yes. >TT: Is there another Quest Bed somewhere? >Yes. Good guess, Seer. >TT: Where? >What difference does it make? You already know where the first one is. You have the choice to go there right now and take your own life.
Doc Scratch plays with his cards up. He never says things that are false, only lies of omission, which, apparently, aren't actually lies in his not-eyes. You might think that his "Good guess" reply to there being two Quest Beds leaves room for a loophole, but not only does he say "You already know where the first one [quest bed] is", but we know from canon that there are Quest Beds in the center of the moons of Prospit and Derse.
The only ways we've seen anyone ascend to the God Tiers are 1) having your normalself die on your planet's quest bed, which then combines/transfers your consciousness into your dreamself which becomes God Tier, and 2) having no physical self alive and having your dreamself die on a Prospit/Derse Quest Bed.
As anyone who's read the comic should know, just because we've seen some cases doesn't mean that we know the actual rules being followed, just that each thing we've seen follows the rules as they are, even if we don't know them.
Again, while this type of skepticism would normally leave room for speculation on other ways to achieve God Tier, Doc Scratch's words are the exception here. There are two "ways" to get to God Tier. Scratch said that's because there are two Quest Beds for each player. And every God Tier we've seen has ended up in their dreamself's body.
But maybe I'm being too harsh. We STILL don't know the limits of the Quest Beds. It may be that planetary Quest Beds only work on physical selves if they have a dream self to occupy. It may be that the moons' Quest Beds only work on dreamselves that don't have a physical body they connect to. Or it may be that moon Quest Beds work on any incarnation of a player, and just use the one that's there on the bed. Or it may be that all quest beds are the same, and they just prefer to shunt you into your dreamself if you have one, and will make do with the body on them if that's all that you have. The point is we really don't know.
Hmm, I started out pretty doubtful, but this is leaving quite a bit of room for HOPE. (hee hee)
