## Unlocking Requirements

### Coins

20,000

Strange instruments flicker, surrounded by the rhythmic rustling of tirelessly moving machine parts... This mysterious place is hidden inside a labyrinth of time, and the very air here is thick with the dust of eons. The measured hum of the machines is capable of ensnaring the senses. Listen to what it sounds like: the harmless ticking of a clock, or a countdown to the point of no return?

- The Location Description

The **Laboratory of Time**, or simply **Laboratory**, is the area at the top of the Black Castle, responsible for the events leading up to Mystery of Shadows, and the main story. It is within the most prominent and centered building in the city. Upon being unlocked, several characters mention the Laboratory is surrounded by both Monsters and Anomalies that hindered progress prior. Many elements of the story and room itself hint to the study of time travel.

The player is shown to be looking at an angle into the large observatory room, faintly seeing out of the large roman numeral glass.

## Ranks

Here's a table showing energy, skeleton keys, experience and coins for each rank of the **Laboratory**.
