Community lab-to-boss sequence
- Assemble the body. Bring the documented five body parts and brain to the operating table.
- Use the lever. The lab sequence releases Tesla and spawns a wave of about 35 scientists. The Electrocutioner appears by the table.
- Prepare for the ending. The lab activation enables the conditional Tesla encounter at the final Outlaw’s Town. Do not assume the 5,000-HP boss is fought at the lab itself.
