As you make your way through quests in Grounded 2, you’ll be tasked with crafting a lot of gear and structures, many of which want acorn shells or tops. So, knowing where to find acorns is essential. In fact, one of the first quests tasks you with building a hatchery, which, you guessed it, requires…
Shrunken down to the size of ants—smaller, actually—you’ll need to look high and, mostly low, to find water in Grounded 2. As you’d expect from a survival game, you’ve got a hydration meter to keep in check, and while there are a few ways to satisfy your liquid lust, some are certainly better than others….
Grounded 2 is full of odd crafting materials, such as household items, or even seeds that you can repurpose into handy gear. One of the most important is blueberry leather, since it’s used in vital upgrades like the Omni-Axe and lots of tier two armour, including the Ladybug and Northern sets that you’ll likely want…
Brookhollow Park in Grounded 2 is full of old, stinky food that’ll quickly kill you if you’re not careful. I’d know, because I died climbing inside a foul trash can in the Signals and Stashes mission. To counter the poisonous stench, you need to find stinkbugs, since these creepy crawlies drop stinkbug parts and gas…
In a park full of scorpions, why is it so hard to find northern scorpion stingers in Grounded 2? Well, the answer is, unfortunately, quite simple: all those scorpions you’ve been fighting so far have just been younglings and teenage scorpions, which don’t have the massive stinger you’re looking for. Terrifying as they are, you…
As an arachnophobe and all-around bug hater, Grounded 2 is a terrifying time, so having already spent over 20 hours in Brookhollow Park is a testament to how well it scratches that survival game itch. In that time, I’ve learned a few things that make being shrunk down to size just a little bit easier….
As you make your way around Brookhollow Park in Grounded 2, you’ll come across a huge amount of natural resources which you’ll need to collect to craft with, such as flower petals, clover leaves, and even bug parts. But even though dandelion tufts might not seem like a decent building material, and you probably wouldn’t…
Tracking down the briefcase code in Grounded 2 is one of the biggest puzzles I’ve come across so far in the game. While scaling the bug-infested picnic table, you’ll find this colossal case resting on one of the benches, but unfortunately, it’s sealed with a couple of three-number combination locks. I don’t know about you,…
Though spine nubs aren’t one of the most important resources in Grounded 2, they are one of the more confusing ones to track down. Since they’re used to craft the spider-based Weaver armour set, you might assume that these parts come from your skittering six-legged pals. Alas, they do not. Unlike weed stems or blueberry…
Working out how to build a workbench in Grounded 2 is one of the first hurdles you’ll come across in the miniaturised survival game. After exploring the first areas of the park, you’ll have acquired all sorts of fancy bug bits and materials to craft new gear, but when you look at them, it’ll say…
