The Lab

Bring me a good brain, Sheegor, or Mr. Pokeylope becomes Mr. Smokey-lope!

–Loboto

The Laboratory is the main location of Dr. Loboto's and Coach Oleander's projects in Psychonauts, situated at the very top of Thorney Towers Home for the Disturbed.

Description[]

The lair is a metal brain shaped construction on the top of Thorney Towers Home for the Disturbed, surrounded by a circular metal walkway. The lair is mainly filled with various brain-removing tools and machinery.

Psychonauts[]

In Psychonauts, the lab is home to a working Brain Tank prototype, as well as a terrarium that has Mr. Pokeylope inside. Behind the lab is a holding chamber where Lili is held, along with the brainless bodies of Sasha and Milla. Sheegor can usually also be found here. From nightfall onwards, Razputin's main objective is to scale the asylum and reach the Lab to save Lili, Sasha and Milla, who are being held captive there, and foil Dr. Loboto's plans. Along with the rest of the asylum, it is destroyed by Boyd Cooper almost immediately after Raz accomplishes these goals.

Psychonauts 2[]

While the physical building in the real world has been destroyed, Loboto's Labyrinth features a mental representation of the Lab at the very end of the level. Dr. Loboto retreats to the safety of the mental version of his lab to escape the Psychonauts probing his mind, but he is confronted by a shadowy figure who reminds him of his mission and threatens him with a vision of Maligula.

Trivia[]

  • The lab elevator leads straight down to the asylum grounds.
  • A heavily damaged brain can be found laying inside the lab before its destruction. It is unknown who it belongs to. Sheegor mentioned she rescued any remaining brains before the destruction of the facility, meaning the brain now possibly resides under her care.
    • This is further enforced by the fact that the brain disappears from the lab once Loboto is knocked off the tower.
  • Psychonauts' developers originally wanted to add a scene where Loboto fell into Linda's open mouth after getting shot off the tower. If the scene actually did happen away from the camera, it would be an explanation for how Loboto survived the fall.[1]
