Fran's Lab is a location in Phoenotopia and Phoenotopia: Awakening. As its name implies, this lab is inhabited by Professor Fran, researcher of Moonstones, along with her two colleagues Stan and Jan. It later serves as the Moonstone Hunters' headquarters as well.
Description
Fran's Lab is located in northwest Castland, situated next to a lake. The area consists of a large building surrounded on both sides by a moat. If Gale rescues Fran back at Atai Bridge, she can visit Fran's Lab to deliver Moonstones to her. Fran's assistants Stan and Jan also inhabit the area and can be interacted with. The Moonstone Hunters recruited by Fran, Gill and Floe, appears here at some point as well.
Inside the lab, various machinery and lab equipment can be found. In the room to the right is a set of Golem Action Figures which Fran has motorized so that they can move. Below this room is a door leading to the basement which contains a Teleporter. It is defunct at first, but after giving Fran 30 Moonstones, she will be able to reactivate it, after which she and her colleagues will use it to go to Hidden Village, where they stay until the end of the game. When Gale uses it, though, she is instead taken to Forgotten Forest and must traverse that area first to get to Hidden Village. Afterwards, the Teleporter will take her directly to Hidden Village as well.
