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. Tapestries seen around the Palace have the same art as the ones found in the Scarlet Fortress.
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 an arcade gate is indicated by 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 levels are shallower, 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, featuring a similar group of levels and monsters with a freeze theme.

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.
