Laboratory CAS-U-5
Laboratory CAS-U-5 is a subterranean Inquest laboratory in Castora.
Getting there
- Interact with the asura gate of the same name that becomes available during the Castoran Coral: Vault Dispatch achievement.
Walkthrough
Interact first with the CAS-U-5 Lab Announcements and then with the Automated Information Desk Entity. The "... As a guest." option, only available after reading the Lab Announcements, grants a visitors pass for the Entry Gate while the "...security answer reviews" option instead activates the nearby Veteran SERVs and turns them hostile.
On the other side of the room from where you first enter, there is a storage locker (mentioned by the A.I.D.E. when signing in as a guest). If you interact with it, you can choose to plunder the gifts left for the party. If you do so, all the SERVs will immediately turn hostile. You can also choose to leave a gift, but only after you steal the ones present. Choosing to steal the gifts gives you 3 Wintersday Wrapped gifts.
At the Automated Entry Gate, the Aggressive option is another opportunity to activate to turn the SERVs hostile while the Charm option (only accessible with the visitors pass from the Information Desk) opens the door.
Proceed down the tunnel and take a left at the first blockage site (the Coral) and continue along the tunnel and take the second left turn along the way to reach Senior Researcher Xhunn's Corpse and loot his badge. Head back and take the first left to find Senior Researcher Xhunn's Terminal and use the now accessible "Survival Costs" dialogue option. The Inquest Krewe Medical Salve Diffuser, found further along the Terminal's corridor, now applies it defensive effect for 5 minutes instead of 1 minute, which makes the following section less hurried by preventing the health loss of Coral Clouded.
Return to Xhunn's and open the Containment Room behind him. Deal with the 3 waves of first 2, then 3, and finally 4 Veteran Twitching Corpses to be able to open the Coral Heart Enclosure and finish this mini-dungeon.
