The '''Royal Jelly Palace''' is a set of three slime-themed levels in the [[Clockworks]] immediately above [[Emberlight]], spanning depths 15 to 17. At depth 17, knights will have to face a giant jelly known as the [[Royal Jelly]].
 
  
 
==Description==
 
==Description==
The Royal Jelly Palace is an ancient castle overtaken by a legion of slime monsters. It is unclear what purpose the castle serves, though it is rumored to be the house of a Royal Jelly, said to be the nobility within the slime kingdoms. If true then the purpose of the castle is likely to serve the Royal Jelly, and nothing more.

''The Royal Jelly Palace is an ancient castle overtaken by a legion of slime monsters. It is unclear what purpose the castle serves, though it is rumored to house a Royal Jelly, said to be nobility within the slime kingdoms. If true then the purpose of the castle is likely to serve the Royal Jelly, and nothing more.''
  
Unlike regular Clockworks levels, the Palace is a permanent feature of one of the gates and has a fixed location within the second [[Tier]]. Its presence in a gate is indicated by a power distortion causing a slime theme to be predetermined at stratum 4 of a [[Gate construction|dormant gate]].  
+
==Notes==
 +
This area differs significantly from other areas in composition and [[stratum]] behavior. It has special castle-like structures and decorations somewhat similar to [[Candlestick Keep]]s, [[Scarlet Fortress]], and [[Firestorm Citadel]], sharing the same icon shape with the Fortress and Citadel.
  
==Levels==
+
Each level is fixed (vs. composed of random segments). Unlike most gate levels, this area is always a permanent feature of one of the [[gate|arcade gates]]. Its presence in a gate is indicated by a power distortion as well as pink rook icons. Its location is always in [[Tier|tier 2]]. The level ''Garden of Goo'' is depth 15, ''Red Carpet Runaround'' is depth 16, and ''Battle Royale'' is depth 17. Oddly, in ''The Sovereign Slime'' mission the depths are each one shallower, with the mission starting at depth 14 and ending in depth 16.

Levels are populated by multitudes of [[Jelly Cube]]s. A few [[Lichen]]s, [[Construct]]s, and [[Silkwing]]s make appearances. Of special note are the mini jelly cubes, a special monster found abundantly in the Royal Jelly Palace and rarely in other places.

A version of the Royal Jelly Palace has been "frozen over" as a [[Shadow Lair]], which features a similar group of levels and monsters with a [[freeze]] theme.
  
After activating the party button directly north of the elevator, there are three columns of Jellies:

*{{release|2012-02-22}}: the {{mission|The Sovereign Slime}} showcases this set of levels
*Right Column-
+
*{{release|2014-05-21}}: treasure room of ''Battle Royale'' reworked
Having defeated those Jellies and activated the switch to the gate, you will enter a large courtyard with 2 mineral deposits and two buttons randomly placed under crystal blocks on your left and right. Activation of anyone of these buttons will open its respective gate and cause: 6 Royal Minis, 3 Jellies and 1 Blast Cube to spawn. Upon entering the right gate, the following will spawn:
+
*6 Jelly Cubes total, 1 Lumber, 4 Gun Puppies and a number of Royal Minis.
+
To the left, in the checkered, spike filled room, these monsters will spawn:
+
*6 Jelly Cubes total, 2 Lumbers, 1 Silkwing and 6 Royal Minis
+
After placing the Stone Cat Statues on the solid colored blocks in the courtyard, the main gate opens. Two (usually green) treasure boxes will be right in-front of you. You will then enter a courtyard with a party button. Upon its activation these will spawn:
+
  
'''Wave One'''
+
==Strategy==
*6 Jelly Cubes (tier 2)
+
Equip shadow offenses and piercing defenses. Shadow is super effective against the multitudes of slimes, and the few constructs are neutral. Bring a weapon capable of inflicting poison for the Royal Jelly boss fight in ''Battle Royale''. If the player does not have such a weapon, try to collect poison vial and barrier [[pickup]]s along the way and use the [[Maskeraith]] battle sprite.  
*2 Jelly Cubes (tier 3)
+
'''Wave Two (Segmented)'''
+
*4 Jelly Cubes
+
*2 Lumbers 
+
*2 Silkwings
+
*2 Super Blast Cubes
+
'''Wave Three (Final)'''
+
*3 Jelly Cubes (tier 3)
+
*1 Lumber
+
*12 Royal Minis
+
After subduing the main monsters (All except Royal Minis) the gate to the elevator will open. In the hallway toward the elevator, there are six treasure boxes.

After activating the party button, immediately 2 Jelly Cubes shall spawn. There are now several ghost blocks ahead, hitting and advancing through;

*1st Spawns 2 Jelly Cubes and a Lumber
+

+
*3rd Spawns 4 Jelly Cubes, 1 Lumber and a Silkwing
+
Recovering the Stone Cat statue and placing it on the solid colored button opens the gate to a party button. Activating it gives you access to a large room with many randomly placed blocks and regularly placed ghost blocks (which make the job of removing the breakable blocks easier) Under which, 4 target colored buttons are located. Your main hallway is blocked by 3 key gates. For each gate opened by a target colored button, there is one key inside (spawns when party button activates). The extra key (optional) can be used to open a key gate just passed the triple blocked hall, which contains several treasure boxes. Since the fourth key is optional, if not opening the key gate with the treasure boxes, you have the option of skipping it.
+
 
+
The layout of the different areas are as follows:
+
 
+
'''North-East'''
+
Room with several spikes and the following monsters spawn just before getting to the ghost block which releases you into the fight:
+
*6 Jelly Cubes
+
*2 Gun Puppies
+
*1 Lumber
+
*1 Silkwing
+
'''South-East'''
+
Room with ghost blocks which clears the path to one of four target colored buttons which opens the gate to the key:
+
*3 Jelly Cubes 
+
*9 Royal Minis (two of which are set to a respawning block of its own)
+
*4x(4 Jelly Cubes+8 Jelly Green Mini behind the blockade to each button)
+
**After the final button is pressed, the gate to the key opes and spawns a Lumber.
+
'''North-West'''
+
Room segmented into three parts by regular and stone blocks;
+
*1st 3 Jelly Cubes, 2 Gun Puppies
+
*2nd 4 Jelly Cubes, 2 Gun Puppies and 1 Lumber
+
*3rd 4 Jelly Cubes, 2 Gun Puppies, 2 Lumbers and 2 Silkwings
+
'''South-West'''
+
Room segmented into four parts by gates controlled by target colored buttons in each section;
+
*1st 3 Jelly Cubes
+
*2nd 3 Jelly Cubes, 1 Super Blast Cube
+
*3rd 4 Jelly cubes, 1 Super Blast Cube
+
*4th 4 Jelly Cubes, 1 Lumber
+
 
+
Having had at least 3 available keys, you should be able to access the next room, which is quite large and has a party button. Activating it will then spawn:
+
 
+
'''Wave One'''
+
*2 Gun Puppies
+
*2 Jelly Cubes (tier 2)
+
*2 Jelly Cubes (tier 3)
+
 
+
'''Wave Two (Segmented)'''
+
*2 Lichens, 2 Silkwings (When Gun Puppies from the previous wave are defeated)
+
*5 Lichens, 2 Lumbers (When the tier 2 and 3 Jelly Cubes from the previous wave are defeated)
+
 
+
'''Wave Three'''
+
*3 Jelly Cubes (tier 3)
+
*1 Ultra Blast Cube
+
 
+
'''Wave Four (Final)'''
+
*1 Lichen Colony, 7 Lichens and 2 Silkwings
+

The Royal Jelly Palace is a region. Regions categorize levels with similar characteristics that have been incorporated into the Clockworks.

Description

The Royal Jelly Palace is an ancient castle overtaken by a legion of slime monsters. It is unclear what purpose the castle serves, though it is rumored to house a Royal Jelly, said to be nobility within the slime kingdoms. If true then the purpose of the castle is likely to serve the Royal Jelly, and nothing more.

Notes

This area differs significantly from other areas in composition and stratum behavior. It has special castle-like structures and decorations somewhat similar to Candlestick Keeps, Scarlet Fortress, and Firestorm Citadel, sharing the same icon shape with the Fortress and Citadel.

Each level is fixed (vs. composed of random segments). Unlike most gate levels, this area is always a permanent feature of one of the arcade gates. Its presence in a gate is indicated by a power distortion as well as pink rook icons. Its location is always in tier 2. The level Garden of Goo is depth 15, Red Carpet Runaround is depth 16, and Battle Royale is depth 17. Oddly, in The Sovereign Slime mission the depths are each one shallower, with the mission starting at depth 14 and ending in depth 16.

Levels are populated by multitudes of Jelly Cubes. A few Lichens, Constructs, and Silkwings make appearances. Of special note are the mini jelly cubes, a special monster found abundantly in the Royal Jelly Palace and rarely in other places.

A boss known as the Royal Jelly is encountered in Battle Royale. A Recon Module left by Parma can be found in the treasure room after defeating this boss.

A version of the Royal Jelly Palace has been "frozen over" as a Shadow Lair, which features a similar group of levels and monsters with a freeze theme.

History

Strategy

Equip shadow offenses and piercing defenses. Shadow is super effective against the multitudes of slimes, and the few constructs are neutral. Bring a weapon capable of inflicting poison for the Royal Jelly boss fight in Battle Royale. If the player does not have such a weapon, try to collect poison vial and barrier pickups along the way and use the Maskeraith battle sprite.
