The original purpose of the Laboratory was to research the minor mouse problem Gnawnia was having. A few less than ethical experiments soon gave rise to new breeds of mice altogether. Now overrun with the very mice it spawned, few hunters dare to step foot on its grounds.

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.
