The Lab is a Dungeon Mission in Fortnite: Save the World, available during the Flannel Falls and Hexsylvania Venture Seasons.

Mission Info[]

Your mission is:
The Lab
	Descend into the Dungeon
	Collect keys and follow the path lit with purple lights
	Collect Treasure
	Your inventory is limited and crafting is disabled. Don't forget to search for loot!
	Gold Coins
	Gold coins found in dungeons can be spent in the Llama Shop

Overview[]

The Lab, much like the other Dungeons, is semi-roguelike, where each game the basic layout remains the same but not the placement of the objective items. It has 4 levels and the overground.

On each level except the boss level, players need to find a Shadow Key, and are required to destroy 3 (Overground only) or 4 Monoliths for a Husk Key, to advance to the next level while eliminating Monsters and avoiding dungeon traps and hazards.

Players cannot craft weapons and traps, instead they must find them by breaking glowing objects and searching Chests.

When a player loses all their Health, they turn into a Ghost (similar to the effects of a Shadow Stone from Battle Royale). The downed players need to be revived at a Cursed Statue, which can only be used once per level. A Cursed Statue is able to revive multiple players at once. If all players become a Ghost, or if a Solo player dies and there are no unused Cursed Statues, the mission fails.

Hazards[]

Arrow Trap: Wall. Deals large damage to players.
Ceiling Drop: Ceiling. Deals moderate damage to players.
Teleport: Floor. Warps a player to a random location.
Snare: Floor. Traps a player making them unable to move. They must play 'Whack-a-Troll' to be set free.
Lighting Trap: Impenetrable damaging walls that prevent players from entering rooms across the Lab. Players must deposit BluGlo to enter the room and be able to loot the Chests.
Incubation Tube - Spawns a Taker when destroyed, followed by a Blaster and then two Smashers. 25s to complete each wave. Drops 1, 2, 3 BluGlo, essential for the Boss Level.

Boss Level[]

The final level of The Lab has a boss battle, where players are required to eliminate Hyde. Hyde has high damage-resistance which makes eliminating him a challenge. Players can reduce his damage-resistance stat by adding 3 BluGlo, only obtained from Incubation Tubes, to a Coil. There are a total of 5 Coils around the arena. Hyde wields a Husk Grinder and throws projectiles similar to the Lobber, except they apply a slowing effect to the player for a few seconds and damage them twice per second. Once Hyde is eliminated, he will disintegrate, leading to a Victory.

Audio[]

Character	Audio and Dialogue
	Chaos Agent: You're Late.
	So, I'm giving you the short version.
	There's been a desire to explore some experimental research.
	So I referred one of my old colleagues, neglecting to mention his unfortunate...
	...How to phrase this for your pedestrian mind?
	Ah! "Corporeal roomate situation."
	I won't be able to do it justice. You'll need to see for yourself.
	Normally I'd be a fan of what's going on in there.
	But it's awful, even for me!
	Let's check it out.

Character	Audio and Dialogue
	Chaos Agent: Ah, you must be the extra help sent by the Villanious Council.
	As you know, an old friend of mine asked the VC to invest in a rather gruesome research project.
	The brutal scientific experimentation happening in this laboratory may end the storm,
	But at a dark cost.
	Darker than any conflict I have ever seen, participated in...
	Or started as a side thing becuase I was bored.
	On paper, we're here to receive and investor's presentation and a facility tour.
	In practice, we're here to save the world from The Good Doctor's attempt to...eh... save the world.
	Normally I'd be a fan of what's going on in there.
	But it's awful, even for me!
	Let's check it out.

Character	Audio and Dialogue
	The Good Doctor: You're still alive!
	Chaos Agent: Of course The Villaninouse Council--
	The Good Doctor: No sorry, that's the first line of the talk.
	(clears throat) You're still alive!
	You're welcome.
	I pause for laughter, and then we go to the first slide.
	Distinguished colleagues.
	Hyde: Impudent fools!
	The Good Doctor: We would like to welcome you to...
	Hyde: The bacchanal of blood!
	The Good Doctor: Our TALK... on hybridization and the continuation of the species.
	And forgive me, but you're going to have to use your imagination here for the slide.
	Hyde: Just imagine a person sewed to a husk...
	And the person is crying, and the husk is screaming!
	It's very funny.
	Chaos Agent: (stifled laughter) Imagine their mournful groans! (continued laughter)
	Yeah, so, it's your classic Jekyll-and-Hyde situation.
	I probably should have mentioned it earlier.
	But as you know, heh, I revel in chaos and disorder.
	Anyway, his monstrous barbarism threatens to change humanity. Literally.
	And the VC is quite fond of humanity as it is. Gives a villain something to dream of dominating someday, eh?
	So... as much as I hate to say this... Shall we put a stop to this madness?
	Is that a deluxe lava waterfall?
	It's so hard to find a lair with a pre-installed deluxe lava waterfall. Unless...
	This must be a renovated geothermal energy plant.
	His name may be The Good Doctor, but he has exquisite taste.

Character	Audio and Dialogue
	The Good Doctor: Okay, so now in the talk we do a little breakout session.
	Chaos Agent: Ooh, ooh! I love breakout sessions!
	The Good Doctor: They are chaotic and evil, so that tracks.
	Then we move on to the real meat and potatoes of the talk.
	Hyde: Emphasis on meat. And sewing meat to other meat!
	Chaos Agent: Yes, yes, yes, we get it. Thank you, Hyde!
	Hyde: You're going to want to get in on the ground floor!
	...By proceeding to the fourth floor. Where the presentation is.
	Chaos Agent: The path is blocked.
	Come on, Good Doctor! You're a better villain than this!
	Your lair is your life. Get a good contractor that uses concrete rebar mesh!
	Almost there.
	Remember, we're here to... to...
	...Ugh... put a stop to Good Doctor's villainy.
	I can't believe we're doing this! (sigh)
	But like the Villainous Council says...
	"If a villain stokes trickery and strife and there are no citizens around to beg for mercy..."
	"Are they really a villain at all?"

Character	Audio and Dialogue
	Chaos Agent: Ah. Imprisoned husks!
	Why don't we break them out and make a real mess? (evil laughter)
	The Good Doctor: Maybe it's time we get to the no longer beating heart of the issue.
	These are not just husks...
	They're the solution.
	Chaos Agent: Well, if we're having an honest, villain-to-villain tete-a-tete...
	You know I can't let you do this, Good Doctor.
	The VC has reviewed your plans. This will end humanity as we know it.
	And we can't debase ourselves by lording over mere human-husk hybrids.
	Hyde: Why don't we just show them?
	The Good Doctor: Come on down and be one of the first to experience the next stage in human evolution!
	Chaos Agent: Are you ready for this? It could get beastial in there.
	Just stay unpredictable and we'll be fine.
	Hyde: Yes, surely nothing is more unpredictable than walking right through the door!
	I hope you've enjoyed your little tour of my facilities, because it ends HERE!
	Chaos Agent: We just want you to stop using your science to change the world.
	Or, villain forbid, make it better. Ugh.
	The Good Doctor: Science isn't about making the world better! It's about--
	Hyde: GETTING IT DONE.
	The Good Doctor: And what you're getting done is a life-changing husk implant.
	Chaos Agent: I think those electrical coils are attuned to Hyde and the Doc's physiology.
	If a (ahem) chaotic element were introduced, it might incite a transformation.
	In other words, try rubbing some BluGlo all over those things.
	Hyde: Just goes to show ya... no good science-ing goes unpunished...
	The Good Doctor: Are you open to workshopping those as your final words?
	Hyde: Oh... shut it... Doc...

Character	Audio and Dialogue
	Chaos Agent: Well, you've saved the day... from being saved!
	At least. I think you did.
	If I'm honest, I feel like his plan was one of those flashy schemes that brings in a lot of early investment money...
	But then fails to actually pay off or make any real, meaningful change, you know?
	(evil laughter) CHAOS REIGNS! (continued evil laughter)
