Mission Read

What this chapter is really asking from you

Cross-checked newspaper routes place three newspapers in Bandel's Laboratory, including the octopus-tank clue room, the desk by the stairs after the first boss, and the trash can after the elevator.

Public comic-strip routes agree on a tailpicked room near the final projector switch and a second comic behind the locked underground-lab door.

Baseball-card routes repeatedly tie this mission to the fenced crawlspace before Robo-Betty and the broken platform near the elevator.

What this page is based on

This page was updated on April 29, 2026 using current launch-window public route material. The wording intentionally stays conservative where late-game guide detail is thinner or where stylized mission naming drifts across sources.

For patch-sensitive changes, route clarifications, or future DLC chain updates, compare this mission with the News & Patch Tracker.

FAQ

Quick answers for Bandel's Laboratory

Why is this mission a strong boss companion page?

Because cross-checked pickup routes keep referencing pre-Robo-Betty landmarks inside the lab, which makes cleanup timing matter.

What route habit matters most here?

Finish the locked rooms, projector detours, and upper-platform checks before the mission fully converts into boss momentum.

Is this one of the stronger early collectible missions?

Yes. Multiple collectible categories overlap here, which makes it unusually efficient for disciplined early cleanup.
