Summary
InGrounded,you and your friends are shrunk down to the size of insects and must brave the wilds of a large garden. During your adventure, you will face many different challenges that unlock achievements in the game, but not every achievement is easy to complete.
The achievements in Grounded cover every aspect of the game, requiring you to master combat, collect rare cards from defeated enemies, and fully complete the main story. If you need to learn what the hardest achievements in Grounded are, and how to complete them, check out the tips below.
10Block Buster
If you are a fan of the combat in Grounded, then you can challenge yourself by completing the Block Buster achievement, with tasks you at becoming a master blocker. In Groundedcertain weapons,like swords, can block incoming sources of damage if timed correctly, and all of these weapons can also perfectly block attacks.
A perfect block has an even smaller window of success, but this will trigger yellow sparks and completely negate any damage you would have taken. What makes this challenge so difficult is getting every perfect block in a row, so we suggest attempting this against enemies with a familiar attack pattern, such as mites.
9Aim Small
The Aim Small achievement challenges your technical skills rather than your progression through the game, so get outyour bow and arrowand prepare to take out some flying enemies. Specifically, to complete this achievement you will need to take down a flying bug from 30 centimeters away, which is easier said than done.
The best enemy to take on with this achievement are gnats since they can be easily defeated with just a single ranged attack. If you head to the east of the Chop Can you will find a group of gnats, and from there you’re able to use the map to see how far away you are from a marker, allowing you to prepare the perfect shot to finish this achievement.
8From Downtown
Basketball is a fun way to challenge others to a friendly competition, but it is also required for a difficult achievement. To unlock the From Downtown achievement, you will need to first craft a basketball hoop out of Web Fibers, Grass Planks, Weed Stems, and Clay.
Luckily, you don’t have to craft anything else, since you can use a small stone as your ball. If you are struggling to score a basket from a far distance, you can always craft a structure high in the sky above your basketball hoop, since the achievement does not factor in height, then simply drop the rock straight down to score.
7Mini Mix-A-Lot
After you complete the Oak Lab, every MIX.R and Super MIX.R will become available across the entire garden, allowing you to participate in challenges and earn achievements. By activating a MIX.R, you will begin a point defense mode, where you have to protect the MIX.R from waves of enemies or risk failure.
Overall, there are five MIX.Rs and three Super MIX.RS scattered across the garden, and each takes roughly four to six minutes of defense until the challenge ends. If you happen to fail any of these defensive challenges, then the MIX.R will get destroyed, and you will need a Repair Tool to restart the point defense.
6A Muse Sting
The Wasp Queen is actuallyan optional bosslocated in the Brawney Boy Bin, meaning that many players may accidentally skip over this achievement without realizing it. Before you’re able to even challenge the Wasp Queen to a fight, you will have to craft the Bee Bee Q Medley to summon the queen, and this food recipe can be found in research notes right next to the Wasp Queen’s boss pit.
Once the fight begins, you are in for a serious challenge, since this Queen has two alternating stages where she focuses on dealing damage or forcing you into a timed event that must be completed quickly. If you are having trouble defeating this boss, then we recommend bringing plenty of Waspidote, as it will clear you from any poison effects.
5Did I Do That?
Similar to the other MIX.Rs in Grounded, the REMIX.R is a landmark that is located behind a locked door in the lab connected to the Flower Beds. To unlock this door, you will have to defeat the JavaMatic, Hedge Broodmother, Mantis, and Wasp Queen, which are all difficult bosses.
Whenever you activate the REMIX.R, you will enter intothe New Game+ versionof the game, which is essentially a more challenging version of the base game. Furthermore, if you are already in a New Game+ when you activate the REMIX.R, then you will be taken to the next level of New Game+, raising the difficulty of the game yet again.
4No More Homework!
By accessing the ASL terminal, you will unlock various apprentice quests given by BURG.L, a friendly computer trying to help you survive in the garden. The apprentice quests are designed to guide you through the opening of the game, and after completing 20 you will unlock Daily Quests through the same terminal.
Daily quests task you with building certain items or killing several insects, which will reward you with science when completed. While completing these tasks is not necessarily difficult, there are exactly 100 different quests you need to complete to earn this achievement, which takes a serious amount of time.
3Creepy Crawler
Widely regarded as the most difficult boss in the entire game, the Infected Broodmother is a vile spider that has three full boss phases filled with challenging mechanics and deadly attacks. This infected spider queen is located in the Haze and is unlocked by summoning the boss with a Moldy Hoagie, which will lock you in the area and begin the deadly fight.
During the fight, the Infected Broodmother is completely immune to explosive damage and can enter the water to receive a lifesteal buff, which causes her damage to heal back her health bar. As you advance through the boss and reach the final stages, the Infected Broodmother will lash out with completely new poisonous attacks, some even inflicting a dangerous debuff called Venom which can not be cleansed and saps away a massive amount of HP.
2Gotta Peep Them All
Creature Cards make up a Bestiary in Grounded, displaying vital information about every single insect and critter that you can defeat in the game. To unlock a Create Card, you must first defeat your selected creature, then harvest their remains or scan their corpse while in PEEP.R mode.
Remember that creature cards come in two variants, a normal and a golden version, the latter having a low chance to drop whenever you defeat a creature. If you want to complete this achievement, then you will have to collect both the normal and gold versions, so we suggest hunting for these cards as soon as possible.
1Super Win
There is no achievement in Grounded that is harder to unlock than Super Win because it requires you to beat the game with 100 percent completion. The report card at the end of the game is essentially a progression tracker for everything that you can complete within the game’s world.
This means you will have to beat every boss and collect every other achievement before unlocking Super Win. If you plan on taking this challenge on, then we recommend keeping a list of everything you need to do before you grow big, just in case you accidentally miss something important on your quest to full completion.
