Infected Crossroads
After either acquiring Monarch Wings or killing one of the Dreamers, the Infection will have spread through the Crossroads, with orange pustules of goo appearing in the environment. Navigation becomes more difficult due to the Infection closing off certain paths. In addition, most of the standard enemies are replaced by new, stronger versions.
