Uriah's Lab
Deep within the Factory's lower levels lies Uriah's Lab, a grotesque testament to Heisenberg's twisted experiments. This area is crucial for progressing through the Factory and uncovering more about the Cadou and its effects. Expect tight corridors, unsettling discoveries, and a few surprises from the Soldat units that patrol these scientific nightmares.
Upon entering Uriah's Lab, you'll immediately notice the sterile, yet blood-stained, environment. Your primary objective here is to locate the Flask (Head), a vital component for your journey. Be meticulous in your search, as valuable resources and lore documents are scattered throughout.
- Accessing the Lab: From the Factory's main processing area, look for a reinforced door marked "Research & Development." You'll need the Factory Key (obtained earlier in the Factory) to unlock it.
- Initial Exploration: The first room contains several dissection tables. Examine the documents on the central table for some disturbing lore. A few Magnum Ammo rounds can be found in a locker to your left.
- The Observation Room: Proceed through the next door into an observation room overlooking a larger laboratory. A single Soldat will burst through the glass when you approach. Use the environment to your advantage, aiming for its weak points.
- Locating the Flask: After dispatching the Soldat, drop down into the main lab. The Flask (Head) is prominently displayed in a containment unit in the center of the room. Be warned: collecting it will trigger an alarm and summon additional Soldat units.
- Escape Route: Once you have the Flask, a new exit will unlock on the far side of the lab, leading to a ventilation shaft. Prepare for a brief but intense escape sequence as you navigate back towards the main Factory floor.
Tip: Conserve your heavy ammunition for the Soldat units in this area. Their armor makes them resilient to standard pistol fire. Look for explosive barrels or environmental hazards to gain an advantage.
