Infestation is a Maxis-made adventure present in Spore Galactic Adventures. It is an unlockable adventure, which can be given to the player by empires with the Warrior archetype in the Space Stage.
The adventure also has a downloadable and alternative adventure: Infestation - Dronox Invasion, in which the player is on the side of the Conqrix as a Dronox Troop.
Summary[]
The Grox invasion that threatens a peaceful planet has rooted an Infestation pod into the planet, and is attempting to pollute and intoxicate the planet. The player beams down to the military camp with Barbados and his defenders preparing to resist the Infestation. The player must talk with Barbados and he obligates them to be ready for the battle in little time. He explains that the Grox's Infestation Pod has landed nearby and it's corrupting the entire valley, pointing that the infestation is spreading fast and must be destroyed, otherwise it will consume this entire planet, and the Grox will move in and call it home.
Barbados leaves the base and leads his defenders to the battleground. The group of Dronox are structured to be hindrances that will attack the player and defenders and Mites respawn near the Conqrix Clone Pod that holds Bombs to directly harm the player. The player has to kill 2 Dronox Commanders near the hill bordering the end valley of the Infestation Pod.
After killing Dronox Commanders to the next act, the player has to destroy the Infestation Pod itself, which has 200 health and is guarded by vehicles like Scanflies and Scavengers. The valley of the Infestation Pod contains Conversion Chambers that respawn Dronox in a second and Insectrox that respawn in 20 seconds. Eventually after destroying the Infestation Pod, it will begin to blow up in a few seconds, ceasing the Infestation. In the last act, the player has to speak with Barbados, praising and thanking them for their work and never letting the Grox take this world from them.
Secret Spoffit[]
After the Infestation pod is destroyed, a Spoffit can be found in a throne-like structure on the highest terrains behind the Infestation Pod valley.
