Frankenstein's Lab
In SLASH'EM, Frankenstein's lab is accessed by a stairway up located between levels 3 and 12 of Gehennom. It consists of a single level, composed of a set map (detailed below) surrounded by a random maze. Like Vlad's Tower, it is not considered part of Gehennom, meaning prayer is safe, but dangerous angelic beings can also spawn.

Doctor Frankenstein is in the small room in the right-center area, surrounded by four flesh golems, two genetic engineers, and two quantum mechanics; he is standing on an ice box. The room outside the lab contains nine random ', generated as three stacks of three each. Roaming the level are Frankenstein's Monster, two genetic engineers, two quantum mechanics, four random ', and four other random monsters. The marked traps are squeaky boards; other traps include a spiked pit, an anti-magic field, a magic trap, and a polymorph trap. Scattered throughout the level are two random potions, two random scrolls, two random wands, and two random spellbooks. The down staircase back to Gehennom can be found in the maze surrounding the lab.
Strategy
By the time you reach Frankenstein's Lab, neither Doctor Frankenstein nor his monster will be much of a threat. However, the random golems in the main room will usually include some of SLASH'EM's gemstone golems, which can be dangerous. More of a potential threat, however, are the angelic beings that can generate on the level, since it is not considered part of Gehennom. If you are not lawful, be careful, and use telepathy to check if any A have spawned.
