Laboratory of Relics

Laboratory of Relics (古代研究所 Kodai Kenkyūjo, Ancient Laboratory) is the 49th and final sub-chapter in Stories of Legend. After completing the only level in this sub-chapter, the player is rewarded with Mecha-Bun and will be able to unlock the True Forms of other Legend Cats. Until all other Stories of Legend sub-chapters are cleared on 4-Crown difficulty, it will only be available up to 3-Crown.

Once completed on all Crown difficulties, the only stage in the 4-Crown version of this sub-chapter will be invaded by Idi:Re. On clear, the stage returns to its normal state.

Difficulty

The only stage here can be deadly without proper anti-Floating Cats. The boss and peons can shred the player's defenses and obliterate any heavy-hitting cats. Refer to the stage's article for more in-depth explanations. The invaded version of the stage is exponentially harder with the restrictions, practically requiring Jellycat and a level 40+ Cameraman Cat.

• 2♛ difficulty for this sub-chapter multiplies enemy strength magnifications by 120%.
• 3♛ difficulty for this sub-chapter multiplies enemy strength magnifications by 130%.
• 4♛ difficulty for this sub-chapter makes no change to enemy strength magnifications and only allows Special Cats and Rare Cats to be deployed.

New Features

This sub-chapter introduces two new enemies:

• Mecha-Bun: A mechanical variant of Teacher Bun Bun. It is quite similar, but has higher HP, damage, attack rate and Omni Strike extending its reach. Despite having the word "Mecha" in its name, it is not a Metal enemy, and keeps the floating trait.
• Idi:Re: A Relic enemy encountered in the Eldritch Forces Invasion. She has short range, Omni Strike and massive health, attack power and speed, but is fairly easy to stall because of her long backswing, unless the peons get in the way.

In addition, Relic Doge, a powerful Relic variant of Doge, introduced in next sub-chapter, can also be seen in the Eldritch Forces Invasion.

This sub-chapter also features two drop units Mecha-Bun and Idi:N, both unlocked at 100% chance upon clearing their respective stages.

Trivia

• With only 1 stage, Laboratory of Relics is the shortest sub-chapter in Stories of Legend.
• Unlike other sub-chapters, its name will not be visible until the one preceding it has already been completed. This is presumably because it is meant to come as a surprise.
• This is the only Stories of Legend sub-chapter to contain Relic Enemies and drop Ammonites, albeit only in the Invasion.
• Laboratory of Relics is implied to have created certain Colossus Enemies via unethical genetic manipulation, namely those featured in various gauntlets and J.J. Jackrabbit.
