The Laboratory in the Cobb's Knob Laboratories is where the Knob Goblin mad scientists work. To get inside, you'll need the Cobb's Knob lab key, and at least 30 of your primary stat. Otherwise you get the message:

As you near the Laboratory, the stench of chemicals and the sounds of science give you pause -- you begin to fear that you're not tough enough to fight here yet.

Notes

• The Mad Scientists are more likely to show up than the Very Mad Scientists or Alchemists. There are 3 Mad Scientists, 1 Very Mad Scientist, and 1 Alchemist in this area. This results in an encounter rate (after queue effects) of 52.6% for Mad Scientists and 23.7% each for Very Mad Scientists and Alchemists.
