Lab Keys are some of the trickiest collectibles to find, primarily owing to just how few of them there are in the game. As we stated earlier, across the 14 levels, you will find a total of six Lab Keys. Some of these aren’t marked as secrets either, which makes finding them even more challenging. You will have to look in every nook and cranny to find all of them if you’re playing the game blind. If you manage to grab all six of the keys, you will unlock a secret boss battle, which can lead to valuable rewards.
