10 Hardest Video Game Boss Fights You Started By Accident

5. Infestation - RimWorld

RimWorld is not a forgiving game, especially if you're playing with Randy Random as your narrator, which let's be honest, is how most RimWorld players do it.

We're all masochists in denial, after all.

Random events that completely obliterate your colony are the bread and butter of the game. However, some of these tragic events can actually be triggered by you, and you won't even know it.

The best example of this are Infestations, special boss fight events where an army of giant spiders crawls out from the ground and attempts to devour your entire settlement. Now, Infestations can happen at random, but there is one special kind of this event that happens specifically due to player actions.

When you discover the deep drilling technology and begin excavating the ground beneath your settlement, you secretly increase the chance of aggravating a nearby spider hive, causing the Infestation to come after you.

One moment you're looking forward to digging up new riches, and the next you get a notification that your drill has awoken a horde of flesh-eating spiders, and now you have to fend for your life.

Just another day in RimWorld.
