The Miasma has infected the land, causing a variety of infectious areas that Kazimir must traverse. From dense weeds that halt your progress in the water, to the gooey pits of Miasma gunge, you must beware of your infection levels and cleanse Kazimir of the Miasma infection before the curse becomes too much.
