Furthermore, while introducing his 'Catalyst', a machine owned by him that synthesizes the Panacea from cells, he says: However, despite the Observatory only being used by the scientific elite of the island, which was the Alchemist, the Collector is found there during 5 BSC.Īdditionally, within the Observatory, the Collector mentions of trying the Panacea as a final resort to destroy the malaise, implying previously failed efforts also seen in the Alchemist's labs. One of the Observatory's loading screen quotes states that the Alchemist disappeared after the failure of the cure research. While not supported by direct evidence, it is heavily implied that the Collector is actually the Alchemist: He later vanished after all his futile work, never to be seen again. He’d produced numerous Failed Experiments, such as the eponymous enemy and the Slammer. The Astrolab was too used for his efforts against the Malaise, as there are labs similar to those built by the Alchemist in other areas.

His research took him to a sanctuary beneath the village. He also conducted many experiments to combat the malaise, using corpses or volunteering villagers for his work.
