Forgotten Crossroads

Goods and travellers used to flow through these ancient roads. They've long fallen to disrepair and become infested with aggressive bugs and husks of former residents.

It is the first full area the Knight explores, and where they will encounter a majority of NPCs that return to Dirtmouth.

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.
