Olympia Laboratory

Overview
The Olympia Laboratory, commonly called "The Laboratory" or simply "The Lab", is a hidden location on the map, considered by those new to the game to be a highly dangerous area and by those more familiar with Aniphobia to be a great farming ground. The Olympia Laboratory itself is located on the hill behind the Winrock Museum, another popular destination for players.

It is highly recommended that a player unlocks NODs before attempting to traverse through "the Lab".

"The Laboratory" itself can be divided into three distinct sections, the first is the surface, the second the bridge and the third "the Lab" itself. The surface is the least dangerous of all three, though that is not to say it is safe. It contains a walled-off outpost area where an Olympia Humvee spawns, alongside a watch tower where an armed Nekobot spawns, though this singular instance of the enemy proves easy to dispatch, it is a taste of things to come.

Within the Nekobot's watch tower, there is a button, interacting with this button opens the gate to the Bridge, however, a large section of the cave within is collapsed, and the player must crouch through a small opening on the left side of it in order to pass through.

Once the player emerges from the small tunnel connecting the Surface Entry to the Bridge, they will find the Bridge itself to be in a state of severe disrepair. However, the player can simply sprint and jump through the Bridge without much difficulty once the initial trepidation passes. Contrary to popular belief(and common sense) falling off the Bridge is not a death sentence(as long as one does not land on the spikes). It does constitute a major inconvenience, as the player now has to find a way to scale the rocks and get back up topside. After the Bridge comes the "Inner Lab", which can be accessed via a stairway directly in front of the bridge.

The player can jump down this stairway to save time with no penalty, as fall damage is not a part of the game. Once the player has gone down two flight of stairs, they will be met with the reception area. Going to the left of it will take the player to the Storage Area, with a door labeled "Biological Storage" and one that is not labaled at all.

The unlabaled door leads the the Nekobot production line, and within it, the Laboratory's Armoury. Be advised, however, this area is heavily infested by Hostiles and requires the player to either be heavily armed or ready to run at a moment's notice.

Enemies
There are 2 types of enemies in the laboratory a player can encounter.


 * Neko-Bot (Melee)


 * Neko-Bot (Ranged)

These are some of the deadliest and toughest enemies in game, perhaps only being outclassed by the GFL Hostiles at the Military Base.

The Laboratory Armoury
Perhaps the place where some of the best free weapons in the game are stored, the Laboratory's Armoury contains all 3 things a player would need to survive and thrive in Aniphobia: Ammo, Armour and Guns. Lots of Guns. The Armoury contains Light, Rifle and Energy Ammo, to go with the MP7, OICW and AR2 respectively, all 3 of which only spawn within the Armoury. All 3 are incredibly effective weapons, allowing the player to dispatch large hordes of Hostiles with relative ease, up to and including both types of Nekobots. However, the biggest boon the Armoury can give a player is, go figure, Armour. Within the Armoury spawns a suit of Power Armour which spawns approximately every 5 minutes. This armour is incredibly good for tanking damage and especially great for egressing from "the Lab" through the hordes of Nekobots.
