Best way to earn "Identify a Labyrinth Unique" Challenge

Just wondering if anyone knows much about how Labyrinth uniques drop. Are they likely to drop just from normal Lab mobs? Are there particular secret/hidden chests that give a higher chance of Labyrinth uniques? Maybe it's worth rolling strongboxes? Or farming Argus?

What about the treasure chests at the end? Will running normal lab on a high level character and getting 3-4 treasure keys give you a better chance than just farming the first labyrinth zone on merciless?

(PS: I know you can buy them un-IDed, but at this stage of the league they are hard to find and expensive!)

-----------------------------
EDIT: I saw on the wiki that "Intricate Locker" always contains a labyrinth unique. I guess I just look out for those ones then!

I've gotten a couple of Uniques from Normal... though I can't remember if any of them were specifically lab Uniques.

One was from Izaro and one from the Chests at the end.

Sometimes there are guaranteed lab uniques in lab. If you can bear reading reddit once a day you can wait for such opportunity.

easiest way is to check at the daily lab guys and wait for a silver chest with a guaranteed lab unique (intricate locker) - hopefully in lower diff to make it more easy to rush it ;)

Awesome, thanks for the replies. :) I will keep my eyes on the lab guides.

If you're going for 24 challenges there are a few that are cheaper and less dependent on luck.

I see you haven't killed map bosses or upgraded your hideout fully, and if you don't encounter the locker before league ends you can always go for merci malachai.

For some reason, the first thingy doesn't show up in poe.trade searches. :v PM me, if you want any of these. Unless you are talking about 2WeekPerandus. v:

Thanks for the offer Perq! I'm in HC though so I don't think I can get those ones.

I have 21, upgrading my hideout is on my to-do list, so there's two more I need. I don't really fancy fighting Malachai in HC, so I was hoping for the easy way out. Killing map bosses I didn't actually know was a challenge; that should be pretty easy to do! Still need one more - if I can't get it any other way I'll give Malachai a go though and try my luck!

Well, you can also push for 90 or try the one with full clearing unid rare maps, it's easy but they will cost you 5c a piece, Zana sells them too so you can save some orbs there.

Or you can use 3x lower maps recipe, that way it will cost you 3 alchemies (and a time needed to drop that 3 maps).
