Hunters have several [[Trap Setup Options for the Laboratory]]. Hunters looking for [[Monster]] mice are advised to use the [[Digby DrillBot]] and bait it with [[Radioactive Blue]] cheese. Without using Radioactive Blue cheese, hunters will never encounter Monsters here. This location is also popular because of the Radioactive Blue Cheese Curd Potions that most mice drop here. They are, without a doubt, indispensable commodities especially for those who wish to hunt in either the Mousoleum or in the [[Bristle Woods]] region. Because most of the mice in the Laboratory are easily attracted even by the cheapest kinds of cheese, even hunters using [[Cheddar]] cheese should have moderate hunting success while also allowing them to collect Radioactive Blue Cheese Curd Potions and, to a lesser extent, [[Stale Cheese]].

Overview

Laboratory is a hunting location in Burroughs region.
It requires the rank of Master and the Laboratory Map Piece to access.

2 map pieces to Mousoleum and Town of Digby are available in this location.

Hunting Strategy

Hunting Tips by Larry

Welcome to the remains of the Laboratory, brave MouseHunter!

Years ago, the King built this research facility to observe the unusual changes in Gnawnian mice. Unfortunately, a few of their experiments went wrong, flooding the area with even more monstrous rodents. The Laboratory contains many mysteries, including that of the scientists who disappeared from here long ago.

A few of the mice here have stolen long-forgotten vials of radioactive waste. This glowing goo is left over from experiments in creating more powerful forms of bait. It might be worth the effort to save some of these vials to see if they work the way the scientists intended...

Adventure Book

The Hunter can complete some steps of the Slay Mousevina von Vermin adventure in Laboratory.
