Navigating the Tutorial Chamber

Welcome to the BONELAB Hub! This guide will walk you through unlocking modules, piloting the BOSSCLAW, and finding hidden areas. Get ready to dive in!

Climbing the Central Spire

Master the BONELAB Hub! Learn how to unlock the left and right sides, pilot the BOSSCLAW, and find the hidden room in this essential guide.

Navigating the Tutorial Chamber

Alright, so you've just landed in the BONELAB Hub, which is basically the main hangout spot for the whole game. Think of it as your central station for jumping into all the different game modes and progressing the story. It’s where you’ll set up your character’s look too, at the Bodymall. Your main goal here is to explore the six modules scattered around, which will unlock new areas and story beats.

Walkthrough

1
You'll start in the Conceptual Isolation Chamber. You can either force the doors open or find a way out through the roof hatch. Once you're out, the track Would You Even Know will kick in, and you'll see a bulletin board. This board is your quest log for now, pointing you towards the first three modules you need to explore.
2
After you've checked out those first three modules, keep an eye out for boxes that'll pop up above them, glowing with energy cores. These create pillars of light, showing you where to go next.
3
Now, head to the control room. This is where things get interesting. You'll get to pilot a BOSSCLAW, which is this big mechanical arm. You can move it forward and backward, side-to-side along its tracks using a lever, and even turn on its magnetic gravity field with a button.
4
Your mission with the BOSSCLAW is to grab those energy cores you saw earlier. Use the minimap to guide the BOSSCLAW to the cores. When you activate the magnetic field, any nearby cores will snap right onto it.
5
Once you've got the cores attached, you need to ferry them over to one of the six tubes lining the control room. They'll automatically lock into place when you get close enough. You need to fill up any three of these tubes to unlock the giant quarantine airlock to your right.
6
After you've dealt with the left side and progressed further in the game, you'll be back in the Hub. This time, you'll need to explore the remaining modules and collect their cores, just like before.
7
Once all six cores are in their respective pipes, the BONEWORKS door, located to the right of the control area, will finally open up for you.
8
For a little secret, check out the metal vents beneath the lab. Follow the corridors, and you'll find a couple of walls with hand-drawn doors. If you've got a keycard (you'll find these in Stress Level Zero's offices), you can use it to pass through one of these walls. This leads to a hidden room connected to the Lab, but it's actually located beneath MythOS City's District 05. The other hand-drawn door's purpose is still a mystery!

Tips

Don't worry if you can't get all the energy cores on your first try with the BOSSCLAW; you can always reset and try again.
Pay attention to the minimap when piloting the BOSSCLAW – it's crucial for lining up those energy cores.
Make sure you've explored all the required modules before heading to the control room to pilot the BOSSCLAW.
The hidden room is pretty cool, so definitely try to find it if you're a completionist!

Climbing the Central Spire

Alright, so you've made it to the BONELAB Hub, also known as the Special Projects Area. This is your main stomping ground in BONELAB, the central hub that connects you to all the different game modes. Think of it as your mission control. You'll find six modules here, each leading to a different themed map, and a Bodymall where you can swap out your avatar. Let's get this place unlocked!

Unlocking the Left Side:

First things first, you'll need to dive into three of the modules. Once you've done that, keep an eye out for boxes containing energy cores. These will pop up above the modules, creating pillars of light. Your next move is to head to the control room. Here, you'll get to pilot a BOSSCLAW. You can extend and retract it using a lever, and move it forward and side-to-side along its rails. There's also a button to toggle its magnetic gravity field. Using the minimap, guide the BOSSCLAW to those energy cores you spotted. Activate the gravity field when you're close, and the cores will snap right onto the BOSSCLAW. Then, you just need to bring them over to one of the six tubes flanking the control room. They'll automatically attach when you're close enough. Once you've got three energy cores secured in the pipes, the massive quarantine airlock to the right of the control room will open up.

Unlocking the Right Side:

After you've progressed a bit and find yourself back in the Hub, it's time to tackle the remaining modules and grab their energy cores, just like before. When all six cores are slotted into their pipes, the BONEWORKS door, located to the right of the control area, will become accessible.

Hidden Room:

Feeling adventurous? Head into the metal vents beneath the lab. You'll find a maze of corridors leading to two walls with hand-drawn doors. If you've picked up one of the keycards from the Stress Level Zero offices, you can use it to pass through one of these walls. This will lead you to a room that's connected to the Lab but is actually located beneath District 05 of MythOS City. The purpose of the second hand-drawn door is still a bit of a mystery!

Optimal Avatar Usage

Alright, so you've just landed in the BONELAB Hub, also known as the Special Projects Area. Think of this place as your main base of operations in BoneLab. It's where you'll jump off to all the different game modes and where you can swap out your look with different avatars. It's pretty central to the whole campaign, so let's get you oriented.

Right off the bat, you'll start in the Conceptual Isolation Chamber. You can either force your way out through the doors or find a way through the roof hatch. Once you're out, you'll hear some tunes and see a bulletin board. This board is your mission log for the Hub – it'll point you towards the six modules you need to explore to get things rolling.

Unlocking the Left Side

After you've checked out three of those modules, you'll see these cool pillars of light appear above them. That means it's time to head to the control room. Inside, you'll get to pilot a BOSSCLAW. It’s got a few controls: a lever to extend and retract it, some directional controls to move it along its tracks, and a button to toggle its magnetic gravity field.

Your mission here is to use the minimap to guide the BOSSCLAW to those unlocked energy cores. Once you get close, activate the gravity field, and the cores will snap right onto the BOSSCLAW. Then, you need to ferry them over to one of the six tubes flanking the control room. They’ll snap into place when you’re close enough. Get three cores into the tubes, and the big quarantine airlock on the right side of the control room will open up.

Unlocking the Right Side

Once you've made some progress in the campaign and find yourself back in the Hub, you'll need to tackle the remaining modules and grab their energy cores, just like before. When all six cores are slotted into their pipes, the BONEWORKS door, located to the right of the control area, will become accessible.

Hidden Room

If you're feeling adventurous, you can dive into the metal vents beneath the main lab area. Follow the corridors, and you'll find a couple of walls with hand-drawn doors. If you've found one of the keycards (you can find these in the Stress Level Zero offices), you can use it to pass through one of these walls. This will lead you to a room that's connected to the Lab but is actually located underneath MythOS City's District 05. The purpose of the second hand-drawn door is still a bit of a mystery!
