[edit] Quest information
Talk to Blimm in Rata Sum to get the quest.
[edit] Objectives
- Investigate the source of the malfunctioning golems.
- Defeat the total protection security regulator golem.
- See Blimm for your reward.
[edit] Reward
- 7,500 Experience
- 1,500 Gold
[edit] General information
- In the first level, you must kill Xien to get the dungeon key. He appears and disappears at several points in the dungeon.
- In the second level, you must take the Flux Matrix to the Unstable Magical Energy Storage. Then take the flux matrix and drop it under the final Golem. It may take 2-3 times to complete.
- In the third level, try to lure away the 2 Flame Guardians from the center, and down the stairs to disable all the flame traps.
[edit] Walkthrough
- The golems tend to bunch up together since they are warriors and dervishes. Bringing skills that cause AoE damage is recommended.
- Minion masters will find that there are few corpses to animate.
- Conditions are prevalent here, especially blindness and burning. Skills to remove conditions are very helpful.
- Do not confuse this dungeon with the entry in the Hero's Handbook - which is also called Oola's Lab. Despite having the same name, the handbook requires you to complete the quest The Elusive Golemancer.

[edit] Dialogue
[edit] Initial dialogue
Blimm
- "Oh! Oh, it's you again. Hmmm. Perhaps you can help me. Yes. You can. You see, I went looking for my staff; it's in Oola's Workshop. I'm certain. It's a nice, red staff. But the golems have...they've gone crazy! With Oola gone, no one is maintaining the security golems. It must have...they must have broken down."
- "I bet the...the total protection security regulator golem has a cracked circuit crystal. Yes. The TPS regulator has definitely cracked. Without a strict TPS regulator, the whole system breaks down. That must be it. Now, I can't search for my staff. If you don't help me, I'll burn the place down!"
Accept: "I pity you. Yes, I will help."
Decline: "Burn it down. Burn it all down!"
Ask: "You need to go to Oola's Workshop and...and stop the TPS regulator golem. It's cracked and making the rest of the golems malfunction. They'll burn the place down before I...before I can."
[edit] Intermediate dialogue
- Xien: "I suppose you're here for the treasure, too. Let me be be [sic] clear: I'm looting the workshop of that floppy-eared nuisance and you're not. If you've got a problem with that you'll have to argue the point with these "Improved" security Golems, so why don't you make it easy on yourself and just go back the way you came?"
- Xien: "Now if you'll excuse me, I have a workshop to raid."
- Xien: "Didn't you hear me the first time? Buzz off!"
- Xien: "Can't you try harder? Make it a bit more...challenging?"
- Xien: "Didn't you hear me the first time? Buzz off!"
- Xien: "I shouldn't have eaten beans with breakfast this morning..."
- Xien: "Didn't you hear me the first time? Buzz off!"
- Xien: "You've got to be kidding me."
- Xien: "..."
- Xien: "You just don't know when to quit, do you?"
- Xien: "Beaten by amateurs. How embarrassing..."
[edit] Reward dialogue
Blimm
- "You've...ah...repaired the TPS regulator? Oh, really? Well I can't say I'm...I'm upset about that. We can...we can replace it with a new one. I'm certain next time, it won't malfunction. Thank you for...for your help. Can I have my staff back? I want my staff back."
[edit] Trivia
- The quest name is a reference to the '60s Roger Corman movie Little Shop of Horrors.
- The internal dialogue regarding TPS, the red staff, and burning the lab down gets its reference from the movie Office Space.
