Watcher 2nd ending issue

[Stenny127]

For some reason i cant get badlands and shrouded coast to get infected, no matter how much i travel back and forth between them and infected regions. Am i just getting unlucky, missing something, or is something broken in my game?

I wasnt able to infect the last region, but surprisingly it wasnt needed for the ending to trigger, maybe its the case for you too. If you already traveled back to Outer Rim and it didnt trigger though, then no idea. Regions werent infecting no matter what for me sometimes too, but thats when I just tried to infected them from different warp points.

For me the ending triggered when I infected every region except Shattered terrace and Ancient Urban. I'm not sure if corruption is guaranteed from traveling through a portal so try going aback and forth a couple times.

I also have some mystery region with a dotted line connection to badlands, any ideas as to what that is and how i get to it?

have you taken the warp outside the shelter at the bottom of cold storage (station annex subregion)?

iirc that might be unfortunate evolution, in which case you are only able to get to it from its two preset rifts, one of them being in badlands

In case you still need the answer. You have to go to those areas from a area that's already infested with rot. Indicated by the black particles swirling around the map and a dark hazy purple hue tinting the regions normal color. If its not showing these signs. Then that room is not infested in rot. Rot is on a room by room basis. The purple circle only indicates there is rot in that region. not that it is all over the region. Those screens suffiently marked as rotted can be used to warp to those points. You can try to hope for the best with your random teleport. Or you can hard confirm doing it by trying to get a regions transition point rotted. Which the former is random the latter takes time. Because rot spreads throughout a zone on a cycle basis. The more points you rot in a area the faster it spreads. So it is like a exponential growth.
