[edit] Notes

• After killing TPS Regulator Golem, an Oola's Chest will appear that each player can open once.
• 500 Asuran reputation points are awarded for completing this dungeon for the first time in normal mode, and 100 points are awarded for subsequent completions. 750 Asuran reputation points are awarded for completing this dungeon in hard mode for the first time, and 150 points are awarded for subsequent completions.
• The Area Map incorrectly shows the location of the Dungeon Key on the first level. The Dungeon Key is actually dropped by Xien, and you can only kill him at the end of the first level.
• The Area Maps also show Hidden Treasures that are not always accurate.
• 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.
• Xien does not count as boss for the blessing Boss Bounty.
• Insects and golems fight against each other if they meet.
• Xien will not spawn without the required quest, thus preventing access to level 2.
• 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] Light of Deldrimor

Hidden things revealed by the Light of Deldrimor (refer to maps for exact locations):

• Level 1
  • Two Dwarven Ghost allies and three Hidden Treasures.
• Level 2
  • Two Dwarven Ghosts and one Hidden Treasure in the first half of the level.
  • A Secret Switch opens a chamber behind the Malfunctioning Enduring Golem containing another Dwarven Ghost and two Hidden Treasures.
• Level 3
  • A Secret Switch beyond the small stretch of impassable lava opens a small passage south of the Area Map that contains one Dwarven Ghost and two Hidden Treasures.
  • Two more Hidden Treasures on the same platform as the TPS Regulator Golem.

Bug.

On the third level, just as you enter, if you use the Light of Deldrimor skill on the spot where the hidden chest usually spawns, it may not spawn but say that it was found.

Bug.

On the first level, it is possible that the gate leading to the middle area may not open. So you'll have to resign and restart.

[edit] Trivia

• On the second level, there are several scaled down replicas of The Iron Forgeman in various states of assembly (see pic on the right).
• When you drop the Flux Matrix, the Malfunctioning Enduring Golem takes 1337 damage, clearly an allusion to leet or 1337.
