Sub-Area: Temple of the Black Egg
A temple housing a massive, mysterious black egg adorned with three masks. This is where the end boss of the game is fought.

Infected Crossroads
After a certain currently unknown point, The Infection will have spread through the Crossroads, with orange pustules of goo appearing in the environment similar to the area leading up to the Broken Vessel boss fight. Navigation becomes much more difficult due to the Infection closing off certain paths. In addition, most of the standard enemies are replaced by new, stronger versions.
