Hi,
Was 23 did merc entire dungeon till that boss
It's too low !
Lab13 is a lvl 25/26 dungeon.
There is a lot of quests and zones to do before.
Empire side zone progression :
Nezebgrad / Igsh Military District / Severny Steppes (?) and this little allods on north (from 5 to 14/15)
Zit quarter (15/16)
Dead Sea (16/20) (+Dungeon at the end)
Wild Isles (20/23) (there you get ALL the quests for Lab 13, there is about 5 and some are inside the dungeon)
Dream Factory (23/25) (get the quest from Elisaveta Rysina, Yasker tower).
-> LAB 13 Dungeon
Asee Teph around lvl 25 and so on
Good luck, try Lab 13 when you'll get the right level, it will be a long but easy dungeon
