Introduction

Infestation is a unique feature on Pandora. You can actively change the appearance and strength of a creature by infesting it with looted and crafted materials in order to obtain
unique and special Artifacts these creatures usually don't drop.

Creatures

You can infest any enemy creature on Pandora. All of them can atleast drop an "Infested Fleshy Mound". This can be used to infest other creatures, which can also drop
the "Infested Fleshy Mound" and so forth. You infest small creatures with the "Infested Fleshy Mound". Stronger creatures like Champions and Bosses can only be infested
using an "Infested Injector" (see below).

While you can infest all creatures, not all of them will drop Infested Artifacts or Scrolls. For some of the monsters you only need the "Infested Fleshy Mound" to infest them,
for others you need the "Infested Injector":

Doom Gauntlet Bosses and Dark Father
Infested Artifacts and Infested Fleshy Mound

Mini Champions do not drop any Infested Artifacts or Scrolls!

Difficulty

Infested creatures, Bosses and Champions all become stronger, some significantly. Therefore New Players should be careful and perhaps team up or join more
experienced Players!

How to Infest

Stand close to the creature you want to infest. Double-click the Infested Fleshy Mound or Infested Injector, target the creature and click it.


The Recipe

To infest a regular monster or ToT monster that is not a Boss, Harrower or Champion you only need the Infested Fleshy Mound. It can drop from any
infested creature, including Champions, Harrower or Bosses!

To infest Regular Monsters, ToT Monsters

You only need the Infested Fleshy Mound (loot from any infested creature).

To infest Champions, Harrower, Bosses

You need the Infested Injector (crafted).

The Materials

You need the following materials to infest a Named Monster, Boss, Peerless Boss, Champion or Harrower:

Infested Fleshy Mound

To obtain it, kill any infested monster. You find permanently infested monsters in Ver Lor Reg in Ilshenar via Moongate -> Infested Hive.

A Bottle Filled with Purified Argon Gas (short: Argon Bottle)

You can buy the Argon Bottles from any Alchemist NPC on Pandora. The NPCs will restock constantly if you buy huge amounts. One bottle is priced at 4200 gold.

A Bottle Filled with an Infested Parasite (short: Infested Bottle)

You create the Infested Bottle with the recipe, see below.

An Infested Injector

This is the final item you will create with the recipe, see below.

Iron Ingots

You need two Iron Ingots to create the Injector, see below.

The Tools

You need the following tools to create the Infested Injector:

Mortar and Pestle

You can buy Mortar and Pestle from any Alchemist NPC on Pandora or craft one by yourself.

Tool Kit (Tinker Tools)

You can buy a Tool Kit from any Tinker NPC on Pandora or craft one by yourself.

Crafting an Infested Injector

To finally craft an Infested Injector do the following.

Create the Infested Argon Bottle

Use Mortar and Pestle to combine an Argon Bottle and the Infested Fleshy Mound.

Create the Infested Injector:

Use the Tool Kit (and the Iron Ingots in your backpack) to combine an Argon Bottle with the Infested Argon Bottle and you create the Infested Injector.

You are ready to infest a Boss!

The Timer

Every infested item of the recipe has a timer. If it runs out, the item is gone.

The Timers are:

Infested Fleshy Mound: 6 Minutes
Infested Argon Bottle: 10 Hours
Infested Injector: 6 Hours

(Note: It is possible that these timers are subject to changes soon.)


The Process of Infestation

In general, you need to stand very close to the creature in order to infest it.

You can honor the creature before or after you infested it, both works.

Note: Every infested item has a running timer. If it's at zero the item is gone.

Infesting

How to infest with the Infested Fleshy Mound

Stand close to the target creature, double click the Infested Fleshy Mound, target the creature and single-click. The Infested Fleshy Mound is gone, the creature is infested.

How to infest with the Infested Injector

Stand close to the target creature, double-click the Infested Injector, target the creature and single-click. The Infested Injector is gone, the creature is infested.

Effects of Infestation

Color and Name

An Infested creature will have the tag [Infested] in its name. Also it will change its color.

Stats

The Hitpoints, Mana, Stamina and Combat Stats will raise significantly, it will become much stronger and harder to kill.

Resists

The Resists will raise significantly.

Abilities

Certain Bosses and Champions will use their special abilities much more frequently. Medusa for example will turn you to stone and poison you
much more often!

Spreading

In a spawn or larger group of monsters the Infestation will spread from one monster to another and so forth. This is how you can infest large groups
and spawns with just one Infested Fleshy Mound.


Loot and Artifacts

Lesser creatures and Bosses, Champions, Peerless have a good chance to drop the Infested Fleshy Mound to create more Infested Injectors.

Bosses and Peerless Bosses have a good chance of dropping an Infested Artifact.

Champions have a chance of dropping Infested 125's Power Scrolls.

The Harrower can drop a +35 Stat Scroll. Every Boss can also drop his regular Artifacts, the Champions and Harrower their regular Scrolls.


Infesting Champions and The Harrower

Infesting Champions

In order to infest a Champion you need the Infested Injector. There is no need to infest the Champ Spawn itself (only if you're looking for the Infested Fleshy Mound).

The Champion will undergo the described effects and then has the chance to drop 125's Powerscrolls.

Infesting The Harrower

In order to infest the Harrower you need the Infested Injector. The Harrower will undergo the described effects, his Tentacles will also be infested.

He has the chance to drop +35 Statscrolls.


Infesting Named Bosses and Peerless Bosses

In order to infest Named Bosses and Peerless Bosses you need the Infested Injector.

You can infest any of the Peerless Bosses and some of the Named Monsters described in this Wiki in order to get Infested Artifacts (see the list on top).

The Boss will undergo the described effects and become significantly stronger, be careful!

The Artifacts

Every Infested Named or Peerless Boss has the chance to drop one of the following Infested Artifacts:

Fields of Blood (a Large Battle Axe)

Firelord's Visor, Toxiclord's Visor, Earthlord's Visor, Lightninglord's Visor, Frostlord's Visor (all helmets)

Infested Cincture (a Gargoyle Apron)

Wings of A Dragon, Wings of the Ancient Wyrm, Wings of the Wyvern, Wings of the White Wyrm (all Gargoyle Wings)

While the Stats are the same on all the Artifacts, their values are random. You can see the Artifacts on Display in the Infested Museum (Moongate).


Infesting Treasures of Tokuno Creatures

In order to infest ToT monsters you need the Infested Fleshy Mound (you can also use an Infested Injector).

Enter the Dungeon, use an Infested Fleshy Mound on a monster, let the Infestation then spread. You can also infest a monster, let it aggro on you and
drag it with you, without killing it - it will infest other creatures on the way.

The infested monsters will be slightly stronger and more aggressive when they are infested.

The process of collecting Minor Artifacts and turning 10 of those in in order to get a random Greater Artifact is the same as it is doing the normal ToT Event!

The Artifacts

Minor Artifacts

Mutilated Sword Display, Inorganic Armor Pieces, Mutilated Shoji Lantern, Mutilated Sword Sculpture, Mutilated Zento Flower Deco, Mutilated Zento Sculpture

Greater Artifacts

Eternal Earth, Eternal Flame, Eternal Glacier, Eternal Storm, Eternal Toxic (all rings)

Infesting Paragon Monsters

In order to infest Paragon Monsters you need the Infested Fleshy Mound (you can also use an Infested Injector).

The Paragon will undergo the described effects and can drop the Infested Fleshy Mound and one of the Infested Paragon Artifacts.

The Artifacts

Arrow Breaker (a shield)

Arrow Breaker (a Gargoyle shield)

The Stats of these Artifacts are always identical, but their values are random. You can see the Artifacts on display in the Infested Museum (Moongate).


Infesting The Gauntlet (Doom)

In order to get Infested Doom Artifacts you have to infest all Doom Bosses and the Dark Father. Instead of a normal Doom Artifact they can now drop
Infested Doom Artifacts.
To do an Infested Doom Run you need a lot of Infested Injectors. You should calculate with 50 or more!

The Bosses and the Dark Father also become significantly stronger as described.

The Artifacts

Blade of Furious Battle (a Gargoyle Sword)

Blood Leecher (a Gargoyle Scythe)

Calmness in Calamity, Mystic's Guard (Gargoyle shields)
