Notes and Extras
  • 1 of 7: Watch out for Skeleton Warriors and Liches regenerating once after you kill them the first time. Double your pleasure!
  • 2 of 7: There are a few non-animated skeletons in north and west rooms on the lower floor that give items (and disease) if you use them.
  • 3 of 7: There's a black chest with a Lock Difficulty of 20 (need Disarm Trap skill of level 7 master) on the lower floor in a room on the east side.
  • 4 of 7: There's a set of doors in a room on the west side of the lower level that you have to bash through; they don't open normally.
  • 5 of 7: Besides the black chest, there are two treasure chests on the middle level, three on the upper level, and two on the lower level.
  • 6 of 7: The treasure chests (including the black chest) regenerate every time you exit and reenter the area.
  • 7 of 7: Sometimes, some of the monsters on the lowest level of the lab will undergo what I call a stoned regeneration. That means that after you kill them the first time, they'll regenerate in a sort of frozen statue form. They can't attack you, and you can't attack them. This is undoubtedly a game glitch, but it won't hurt you, so just ignore it when it happens and move on.
