Grounded Achievement Guide

A guide to Achievements

Aim Small

"Kill a flying bug with an arrow from over 30 cm away "

How to Get:

Probably easiest done with Gnats, as they are slow and tend to stay in one spot, are easy to find, and non aggressive. The place I found to do it was at the pond just in front of the Rash action figure, there are lots of Gnats high up in the open where you can pick them off until you hit one far enough away

Beefing Up

"Craft Your First Tier 3 Item"

How to Get:

Within the workbench recipes, you will see either I, II, or III beside an item. You will want to construct a III (tier 3) level item to unlock this achievement, such as the Marksman's Cap or Mint Mallet

Black Ant Hill Lab

"Complete the Black Ant Hill Lab"

How to Get:

As the text above says, complete the Black Ant Hill lab and kill the mini boss inside.

Block Buster

"Perform 10 perfect blocks in a row"

How to Get:
All enemies in Grounded perform specific animations before an attack, which is different and unique for each attack they do. Once you learn the animation, you will know when to time your block. Do a perfect block 10 times in a row for this achievement

I find Mites to be the easiest, as they have a single lunge attack that is easy to block

BURG.L Flipper

How to Get:
Save BURG.L After entering the Oak lab, this is just lifting him to his feet

Exoskeleton

"Equip a matching set of tier 2 armor"

How to Get:
Much like the "Beefing It Up" achievement, you will want to build and access a workbench. You need to craft a full set of a II (Tier 2) armor, such as Ladybug set, Bee Set, or Koi set

Face Your Fears

"Kill Your First Wolf Spider"

How to Get:
The easiest way is to find a spider sleeping during the day, get an elevated position so it cannot reach you, and just hit it with lots of gas arrows.

Fine Dining

"Cook a bug on a roasting spit"

How to Get:

You will need to obtain bug or bug meat, such as Aphid, weevil, or Gnat, and build a roasting spit cooking fire. Cook it over the flames

Flavorful

"Obtain 10 new SCA.B Color Schemes"

How to Get:
The SCA.B's are located around the world, hidden in various locations. There are several guides online to find them all, some are easier than others

Fortified

"Construct your first Mushroom Brick Building"

How to Get:
With the new Mushroom brick items, build a building. You don't actually have to build a building it seems, you just have to build a single wall

You will need a grinder to grind the mushroom, and a oven to bake them into bricks. Both buildings are from the new Haze lab

Friends In Low Places

"Tame a bug as a pet"

How to Get:
Currently only Aphid or Weevil are tamable. You will need the Grinder to make their preferred slurry and put it near the bug. Each bug requires its own bug house.

Aphids eat grass slurry.
Weevels MAY eat mushroom slurry, i need to test this

From Down Town

"Score a basket with the Basketball Hoop from over 40 cm away"

How to Get:
First you need to construct the basketball hoop. There is no actual 'ball', but any throwable item can fit through the hoop. If you successfully get a throwable into the hoop, sparks fly out. Simply do this from 40 cm away

Get Yoked

"Infuse yourself with 20 regular Milk Molars"

How to Get:

Regular Milk Molars are found all around the yard, there are a couple of Guides online you can find to help you complete this. Just hammer them to get at the glowing jelly inside 20 times.

Glob Job

"Upgrade a tier 3 item to the max level at the Smithing Station "

How to Get:

You need a tier 3 weapon or tool, and upgrade it to max level at the Smithing station as it says above. You will need a LOT of quarzite, but it is more time consuming than difficult

Growing Pains

"Obtain your first mutation"

How to Get:
Mutations are achieved by completing certain challenges around the world, you will probably earn your first one without even realizing it, such as using the spear a lot to unlock Javelineer. There are guides online for this

Hedge Lab

"Complete the Hedge Lab"

How to Get:

The Hedge Lab is a challenging location that puts you in narrow corridors with juvenile spiders and spiderlings. Getting through all the corridors and finding the code that unlocks the final door should unlock this achievement, or perhaps it is collecting the audio file at the end that unlocks it.

Lounging Around

"Lounge in a chair"

How to Get:
The new update has given us the ability to sit in chairs. To craft a chair you need to first obtain berry leather to get the recipe

Mom Genes

Presumably kill the new Brood Mother spider

How to Get:
After killing the Broodmother, you get a mutation called Mom Genes and this achievement.

1. To summon her, you first need to find the Broodmother Research notes in the outpost above the Hedge Lab to get the recipe for her summoning item

2. To make the BLT item that summons her, you need 2 Ladybug parts and 2 Bombardier beetle parts and bake them in the oven

3. Placing the item on her egg sacs in her nest above the frisbee in the Hedge will summon her.

4. Recommended equipment

-Lady Bug Armor
-Stinger Spear, and weevil shield
-Insect bow and gas arrows
-bandage
-Smoothies of your choice would help
- Mutations: Meat Shield, Javelineer or other weapon damage increase, Mithridatism

Pond Lab

"Complete the pond lab"

How to Get:
Much like Hedge Lab, the Pond lab is a challenging location that puts you into the deepest area of the pond. You will need diving equipment. Expect to face bell spiders and taser robots. I imagine the achievement unlocks either when you open the dome, or find the final audio file

Protein Shake

"Consume 5 Beefy memorized Smoothies"

How to Get:
Firstly you will need to craft a Smoothie Station, which requires Acorn, Grub Goop, and Sprigs. After this, you need to get Smoothie recipes (there are many lists online). Each recipe has a 'beefy' variant, which lasts longer. To get a beefy variant you need to put a Muscle Sprout into the smoothie mix instead of Grub Coop. Muscle Sprouts are only found in the Pond Lab. For this achievement you need to make, and eat, 5 Beefy variant smoothies

Resourceful

"Analyze 15 resources"

How to Get:
A very achievement. First you need to find a science research station, which are indicated by purple icons on your map. Then just analyze any and all resources until it unlocks. This can be simple things like rocks, grass blades, and bug parts

Science Rules

"Purchase your first upgrade from BURG.L"

How to Get:
After doing enough quests for BURG.L, you can buy items and recipes from him. These could be building parts, to cosmetic things like pictures for your base's walls. For this achievement, you want to buy a tool or equipment upgrade

Shrinky And The Brain

"Achieve level 10 Brainpower"

How to Get:

You gain Brainpower through Analyzing new objects, just scan enough of them to complete this.

Snoopy

All across the map are places of interest, such as the juice boxes or long lost toys, to a magnificent 4 leaf clover. Simply find 20 of these locations

Splinter Master

" Craft tier 3 arrows "

You need to first build the Tier 3 axe: Termite Axe, in order to harvest Splinters. After that, you need both Splinters and Dust Mite fuzz to make these arrows

Sticky Hands

" Plug the Haze Canister"

How to Get:

You need to plug the leaking hole in the Gas Canister within the Haze. This requires 1 Gum Nugget. You can reach it by climbing onto the stick that goes up the Porch stairs, and the onto the nozzle wand of the canister to go all the way up.

Underexposed

"Snap a picture using Photo Mode"

How to Get:

Simply hit P or other photomode key you have it bound to, and take a picture.

Webmaster

"Zip across a teen made Zipline longer than 100 cm"

How to Get:
To unlock the Zipline in the first plae, you need the Jungle Temple BURG.L chip. Once you give the cihp to BURG.L you can purchase the Zipline recipe for 10,000 raw science

To build ziplines, you need to first build two anchors, where you want each one to go. To connect them you need a LOT of silk rope, and considering you need it to be longer than 100cm, it is going to require a lot of silk rope.

Assassin Assassin

"Kill The Mantis"

How to Get:

The Mantis is a Boss Fight, like the Broodmother, in the flower pot in front of the Shed door

Go Big

" Grow Big Again! "
