Dead Rails Brain in Jar Explained

Exploring the Tesla Lab in Dead Rails

If you’ve come across the Tesla lab building in Dead Rails and noticed a peculiar Brain in Jar, you may be wondering about its significance. Surprisingly, this item serves a dual purpose – it can be used as the head of a creature you can assemble or sold for money if you’re in need of some quick cash. Here’s everything you need to know about this unique and valuable item.

Uncovering the Dead Rails Brain in Jar

When journeying through Dead Rails, you may encounter the Tesla Lab around the 50-60km mark. Make sure to explore the area thoroughly and collect various items scattered throughout. One of the essential items you’ll come across is the Brain in Jar, prominently displayed on a wooden table. This item plays a crucial role in completing the assembly of the Nikola Tesla boss, a formidable Werewolf that appears at the 80km mark when combined with its body.

If you feel unprepared to face this challenging boss, you have the option to sell the Brain in Jar for $250 instead of assembling it. However, if you’re up for the challenge, follow these steps to complete the assembly:

  • Search for the creature’s limbs scattered throughout the Tesla building.
  • Bring the limbs back to the center table for assembly.
  • Once assembled, head to the room with the machine and interact with the lever to initiate the power sequence.
  • As the monster revives, be prepared to fend off waves of zombie scientists. Stay within the building and use ranged weapons to eliminate them.
  • After the revival process is complete, the creature will disappear from the table after being electrocuted.
  • Don’t forget to pick up the Electrocutioner gun, which requires a Lightning rod to charge and can be instrumental in defeating the boss at the end of your journey. Also, gather any other useful items such as Bonds.
