Notes
Like other areas on Cradle, the laboratory is a location with sub-locations as time goes on. On the loading screen, "Laboratory: The Lab" might seem redundant, but this flexibility is needed considering Cradle as a whole - see the 4-2 Mission: A New Threat for a different loading screen to the same location, which says "A New Threat: The Lab." This indicates that entities of interest are located in "The Lab" - a specific floor or location in an overall area, while titles like "Laboratory" refer to the entire area, structure (or "building"), mission, and so on.
History
- release 2012-11-14: The area is under construction and can't be entered [1].
- release 2013-07-30: The laboratory is complete and Battle Sprites are introduced [2].
- release 2014-05-21: The laboratory's appearance now changes if the player has completed certain Rank Missions [3].
Gallery
With all Rank Missions completed, the player might see these things in the lab:
- West Area The Drakon type of Battle Sprite seems to be getting some attention. Some E-Class Battle sprites are to the left.
- Center Area Various Boss components ("Boss Trophies") are being studied in front of the Skylark's backup generator. Biscotti and the Sprite Food Alchemy Machine are to the left.
- East Area Research on Almire is being done here via Owlite texts and Nature Sprite anecdotes. A Recon Ranger fiddles with things to the right.
- Middle-Northern Area This path leads North. A bell used to stun enemies in the Gloaming Wildwoods can be seen. An Alchemy Machine stands nearby.
- North Area The Artifact has been stolen. Some minerals are being studied up here by Geoknights.
The old appearance of the lab (before release 2014-05-21).
