Clear Parasites: Ensure Leah has no Parasite Worms (they will eat the eggs).
Collect Eggs: Trigger scenes with these specific critters to obtain eggs.
Progression: Sleep to start incubation, then walk around the map to increase progress.
Birth: Once progress hits 100%, move to an open map region to trigger the birth scene. Parasite Worm Incubation
If infected with Parasite Worms, they will consume any other eggs Leah carries.
Reaching 100% progress while infected triggers the Big Worm scene, which restarts the infection cycle. Unlocking New Areas & Scenes Insect Prison REMAKE map guide - Eroism - Itch.io

To solve Insect Prison Remake without frustration, adopt these principles:
A forgotten research facility on an isolated island once intended to study insect cognition has been repurposed into a high-security containment site: the Insect Prison. When a storm seopens supply routes and a power surge awakens experimental colonies, the fragile boundary between captor and captive collapses. This is the story of the facility’s rebirth—part heist, part ecological horror, part moral reckoning—and how a small group of survivors and a few extraordinary insects try to remake the prison into something else.
This is the most reliable escape method in the remake. Deviations exist but are for advanced players.
Phase 1: The Loose Thread
Phase 2: The Hidden Pin
Phase 3: The Lid’s Weak Point
Phase 4: The Leverage Action
Phase 5: The Escape
If you remember the old Insect Prison, recall that you simply built rows of Spitting Spiders and hoped for the best. The remake removes that safety net.
Critical Update Note: As of Patch 2.1.2, the Crimson Aphid rush has been nerfed. Do not use old guides suggesting you spam Aphid farms.
Your goal here is not to kill everything; it is to contain and harvest.
The New Starting Build Order:
Warning: Do not expand your territory beyond 3 cells until Wave 10. The remake punishes over-expansion with "Hunger Pangs" (a debuff that reduces all damage by 50%).
