Ancient Laboratory
The Ancient Laboratory is a very dangerous biome located west of the Dark Cave. It is filled with many traps, strong enemies, and pools of magical liquids.
It is possible to visit this area early in a run, and the rewards for crossing its expanse are potentially great, but the hazards are many and varied.
Layout and Hazards
This biome is the most reliable source of powerful magical liquids such as Ambrosia and Berserkium, though the dangerous enemies within are able to take advantage of these liquids themselves.
You should be wary of a multitude of obstacles while traversing:
- Magical ceiling laser traps that deal 25 damage per shot and can briefly stun you.
- Statues of you (Patsas), some of which will become hostile when approached.
- Pools of various magical liquids, ranging from harmful to helpful.
- Hanging vats of magical liquids hanging from the ceiling.
- Very dense walls made of Ruined Brick Wall you will have to navigate around unless you have a very powerful digging spell.
At the western edge of the Laboratory, the Ylialkemisti miniboss guards the Abandoned Alchemy Lab.
Enemies
Connected Areas
Going further west from Abandoned Alchemy Lab, through the wall, leads you to the Snow Chasm.
Digging through the ceiling of the Ancient Laboratory leads to the Snowy Wasteland's surface.
