Marathon Parasitism 5 contract walkthrough
The Parasitism 5 contract can be broken down into three tasks.
- Extract a biotic sample from Sparkleaf in Bio-Research.
- Synthesize SIMbiont in Quarantine and inject yourself.
- Allow the SIMbiont to integrate with your shell; then exfil.
How to extract a biotic sample from Sparkleaf in Bio-Research
For the first task, head to the Bio-Research location in the northern area of the map. You’ll first need to pick up Sparkleaf, which grows among vegetation.
There’s no specific location, but this plant is fairly common. Once you find a Sparkleaf, head to the marked location in the image below.
You’ll find an extraction machine, which you’ll use to extract a biotic sample from the Sparkleaf (place it in the machine and then wait for a few seconds).
How to synthesize SIMbiont in Quarantine and inject yourself
Pick up the sample and head to the southwest part of the map, where you’ll find the Quarantine POI. I have marked the location where you’ll find a small room with the terminal inside (will be highlighted by a quest marker when you’re there).
Access the Synthesizer and place the sample to get the SIMbiont. Inject yourself with the item and wait for 90 seconds. You’ll need to survive a UESC onslaught as the SIMbiont integrates with your shell. After you manage to survive, safely exfil from the map, and you’ll complete the final Parasitism contract in Marathon.
