Slime Rancher 2: The Grey Labyrinth Guide (Location, Requirements, Slimes)

by

With the new area releasing I’m sure plenty of people want to know where it is, how to get it, and what goodies are inside!
I’ll be sharing screenshots from my game and instructions how to get to the Grey Labyrinth, the new slime types, what food they like, and maybe some areas I think are generally pretty and fun 😀

 

Intro THERE WILL BE SPOILERS

Welcome Ranchers!

This guide is a WIP as of 12/12/24 and will be updated as I explore the Grey Labyrinth so if you found something before me, congrats! If there is any labeling mistakes since I don’t know what some intractable items are called please correct me and I’ll update the guide to be as accurate as possible.

I hope you all enjoy the new update!

This guide will NOT include how to get to Ember Valley! This guide is only how to enter the Labyrinth and what can be found inside it!
All screenshots are provided by me from my own gameplay

Finding the Entrance

Entrance Location in Ember Valley


The entrance to the Labyrinth is in the far end of Ember Valley towards the lava. If you’ve accessed this area before I’m sure you must have seen the giant door that didn’t take you anywhere but was surrounded by lots of volcanic stuff.


Here is what the entrance actually looks like not on the map! Once you enter that door you’re one step closer to entering slimy fun new content

Unlocking the Door

When you enter the cave you will come across a closed door with a weird looking orb (I don’t know if it has a name yet) and a slime shaped rock with light coming out of its face

Puzzle Solving and New Item

Clearly this is a puzzle to open said door but it isn’t as difficult as it may seem! When launching the game after the new update you are given a recipe to a new utility item called the Radiant Projector.

With this new item, the Radiant Projector, you can guide the light to the weird looking orb (I’m just gonna call it weird looking orb until I get corrected). Personally I solved the puzzle using two Radiant Projectors which will cost you:


Here is how I solved the puzzle myself. You can rotate your gadgets until they are angled how you want them to be.

Something Funny Yet Useful I found

You can take back your Radiant Projectors and the door will stay opened so if you need to reuse them somewhere else you’re able to take them with you!

Questionable Doors?

Upon entering the new area There is two open black spaces to the right and if you want up a little further there is another one to the left, attempting to enter them damages you for 10HP. Not much to say here just wanted to include them to make it easier to update later.

Into the Lab and What I Found in it

Here is what we see once we enter! It looks really cool so far and I love the aesthetic 🙂 Happy Sliming 😀

PLORT DOOR

1 Rock Plort
There is a second door after you open this one but you can’t open it from here

NEW CHARACTER

Gigi the botanist / explorer! She asks you to find her somewhere in the Grey Labyrinth and will communicate with you throughout your travels. Once you finish talking to her she will open the door to your right.

SLIMES

SHADOW SLIME
Diet: None
To obtain plorts from these guys you have to throw stuff at them (I used carrots and chickens not sure what other fruits and veggies work)

RESOURCES

MAGMA COMB

TIN PETAL

UNSTABLE FRUIT/CHICKEN/VEGGIE
Drops from inventory randomly? Upon damage taken?
Feeding them to slimes gives you Unstable Plorts
