Grounded Combat Guide (Enemies, Gear & Mechanics) - SteamAH (2024)

To start off with, lets go over some of the elements that you will need to know about.

Here is an example screenshot of your in game hud:

From left to right, these elements are as follows:

SCA.B

The SCA.B Display allows you to see:

1: Stamina Bar

2: Thirst and Hunger meters

3: Health Bar

4: Armor Durability

1. Stamina will drain and empty causing the player to move slowly until recharged. Actions such as; Sprinting, Swimming, Using tools or weapons will cause stamina to drain. It can be recovered by simply waiting and standing. Certain items and buffs will cause stamina to regenerate quicker, or increase maximum stamina.
2. Thirst and hunger will slowly drain throughout the day, but activities and certain types of edibles will cause these meters to decrease quicker. Food and water are necessary to regenerate these meters.
3. Health will decrease from; attacks, fall damage, drowning and empty hunger or thirst meters. Health can be recovered over time if the player is healthy, but can also be recovered quicker through sleeping and healing items such as bandages and smoothies.
4. Armor durability decreases when damage is received until the armor eventually breaks. Armor will retain its stats and bonuses until depletion. Armor can be repaired using craftable items.

Hotpouch

The hotpouch allows for quick access of selected items

Items that have been placed into the hotpouch can be quickly selected with the numbers 1 through to 8 on the keyboard (with the default keybindings)

Alternatively, they can also selected with a wheel menu by clicking V (with the default keybindings)

Weapon Display

The Weapon Display shows your currently equipped weapon or tool.

This has useful information such as; Ammo count (if ranged weapon), Item count (if multiples are present in inventory), Durability, Item Level and keybindings for usage, throwing and swapping ammo(or blocking if holding a melee weapon).

This section relates to how weapons and mechanics work in grounded.

Weapons overview

Weapons have different stats that affect their capabilities in battle.
These stats also apply to tools, usually though weapons do a better job in combat and will have higher stats.

These stats are as follows from left to right.

Weapon Description

This explains the type of weapon and any special abilities it may have as well at it’s level.

The level of a weapon determines it’s effectiveness, where higher level weapons will generally be stronger and kill enemies quicker.

Weapon Stats

This explains how much damage a weapon can output per hit, it’s stun capability against enemies and how quickly the weapon can be used.

Some weapons will have bonus effects. These effects will usually be explained in the weapon description but will also sometimes show an icon to represent this in the weapon stats.

this weapon can poison enemies dealing damage over time

Equipment Slots

Weapons will be held in the players main hand when equipped, certain weapons allow for a weak hand tool to be equipped alongside, such as a torch. Some weapons such as the bow are two handed and cannot have a weak hand equipped simultaneously.

Weapon stats breakdown

Damage

Damage directly relates to how much health will be lost upon attacking an enemy. The higher the damage the more health lost on a single hit.

Here is an example of 2 Tier 1 weapons hitting a weevil at full health.

striking a weevil with the pebblet spear

striking a weevil with the larva blade

Throwing Weapons will cause them to deal more damage, however this is not recommended outside of the Pebblet Spear, as the damage difference is minimal and retrieving these weapons may be dangerous. Weapons will become damaged quicker when thrown.

a thrown spear will instantly kill a weevil

Weapons and tools can also be charged for more damage. While the attack is slower and may use more stamina to swing, the tradeoff is increased damage output per hit. This can be especially useful against stunned opponents.

Stun

Stun dictates how many hits it will take to stun an opponent rendering them unable to fight back for a brief time.

Stun can be summed up akin to durability with armor. If an enemies stun durability is lowered enough it will become stunned. This meter is never shown in game and it will take some trial and error with each weapon to figure how many hits it will take to stun an opponent.

Some enemies cannot be stunned, or rather, will never be stunned before being killed.
Enemies like mites and aphids have such low health that they will often die long before being stunned by any attack.

Here is an example of the Tier 2 weapon ant club and the Tier 3 weapon mint mallet stunning an enemy. These weapons have very high stun meters.

it takes 4 hits to stun an orbweaver with the ant club

it takes 3 hits to stun an orbweaver with the mint mallet

Speed

Speed relates to how quickly the weapon can be swung and how long it takes before the weapon can be used again after swinging.

Faster weapons will often have multiple swings in quick succession, whereas slower weapons will have only one or two. Heavier weapons will use more stamina per swing and faster weapons will use less.

Here is an example of the Tier 2 Spider Fang Dagger vs the Tier 2 Insect Hammer

three strikes with the spider fang dagger

two swings with the insect hammer

Blocking

Blocking attacks with held weapons, will reduce the incoming damage from the attack. Most attacks can be blocked with little consequence, however some attacks cannot be blocked and some attacks will knockdown the player even if blocked.

Blocking attacks will damage you, your armor and your weapon durability as normal albeit at a reduced rate.

Blocking for too long, will cause you to be knocked down becoming unable to fight back for a short time.

the player blocking with a spear

The block meter will appear while holding block and will display how many attacks can be taken before your block is broken.

orbweaver spider knocking down the player by breaking their block

Blocking is useful in situation where many enemies are present or the enemy being faced is very tough, but there is a better solution than blocking.

Perfect Block

This is where perfect blocking or countering comes in.
Countering attacks negates damage completely. Countering still causes durability loss on weapons, but can shorten fights significantly by allowing more attacks to hit the target.

Countering can be performed by blocking just before an enemies attack lands. The window of opportunity for countering is different based on each enemy, but a counter can be performed on all non-projectile attacks. Countering can be achieved will all melee weapons and tools, but not ranged weapons or unarmed combat.

countering in third person

A Successful counter will be displayed by the enemy recoiling and a spark generated from the held weapon.

This section handles all the Insects and other garden variety creatures that are present within the game.

Enemies can be broken down into three distinct categories.

Passive Enemies

Passive enemies do not become aggressive, even when attacked.

Neutral Enemies

Neutral enemies become aggressive when attacked. Until aggravated they will remain passive.

Hostile Enemies

Hostile enemies will become aggressive if they spot the player, even without being attacked.

Section 1: Passive Enemies

Aphid

Description

Aphids are small green bugs. They are fast and can blend in easily with the terrain making them somewhat hard to spot

Behaviour

Aphids will wander around the garden with seemingly no purpose. Aphids will run away from any approaching bug or the player. They make a distinct noise when surprised and will jump in the air revealing themselves every so often if being chased or within proximity of a threat. Aphids can also climb up plants and blades of grass. Aphids sometimes will drop aphid honeydew which can be consumed for a small amount of food and water.

Gnat

Description

Gnats are small black bugs with big eyes. They are the only bugs in the game that can fly.

Behaviour

Gnats fly around the garden in search of pollen from flowers. Gnats have poor sense of direction and will often get caught on all manner of obstacles. Gnats cannot harm the player, but they can bump into you, briefly displacing you. Gnats can also be found flying around the lamps in the garden at night.

Section 2: Neutral Enemies

Worker Ants

Description

Worker ants are medium sized bugs, brown in colour and small pincers on their mouth.

Behaviour

Worker ants can be seen collecting food and attacking smaller bugs like aphids and weevils. They can be found in large groups surrounding food sources in the garden but typically are only seen alone or in groups of two. Worker ants will inspect the player and sometimes even follow them, but will charge at the player when attacked and will call assistance from nearby ants even if the player did not attack them. Worker ants will take food and resources from anywhere they can reach, including player homes. Exposed chests can be looted by worker ants.

Attack Patterns

Mites only have one attack. Mites are fast and usually attack in groups but are very weak on their own and will almost never overpower the player. Being surrounded by mites can be hazardous to new players, but due to their low aggression range, this can be avoided.

Jumping Attack

A small jumping attack with short range. Very low accuracy and will often miss if the player moves slightly. Weak damage but relatively fast.

Drops

Spiderling

Description

Spiderlings are small brown spiders.

Behaviour

Soldier Ants

Description

Soldier ants are large brown bugs with large pincers on their mouth.

Behaviour

Soldier ants inhabit underground ant hills fending off any predators that may come in such as spiders. Soldier ants protect ant eggs from players and bugs alike. Soldier ants are rarely seen alone and usually will be in groups of 2-3. Soldier ants will not attack the player and act like Neutral enemies if the Ant armor is equipped.

Attack Patterns

Soldier ants have one attack. Soldier ants are ruthless and will attack very quickly, with only small room for the player to fight back unharmed. Soldier ants work better in groups, but seperated they lose their strength as though their attacks are quick, they will struggle to kill well equipped opponents.

Charge Attack

Attack Patterns

Larva have one attack. Larva attack quickly with 3 rapid strikes, however this attack can be countered preventing further strikes. Larva are not as quick as Soldier ants but will always be nearby other Larva, so fighting them alone is usually not an option. Large groups of Larva can easily overwhelm the player.

Bite attack

A quick biting attack, striking three times in succession unless countered. Deals moderate damage but has limited range.

Drops

Orbweaver spider

Description

Orbweaver Spiders are very large spiders with a yellow and black patterned backside.

Behaviour

Orbweaver spiders will only occupy certain areas of the garden, where they will patrol and place spiderwebs. Orbweaver spiders will commonly fight other bugs but never other spiders. Orbweaver spiders can be seen through the grass as their size allows them to push through obstacles that would stop other bugs or the player.

Attack Patterns

Orbweaver spiders have two attacks. Orbweavers are very powerful enemies, they can make use of a long range web shot and a medium range biting attack. Orbweavers are fast and strong, and will be difficult to kill for unprepared players.

Web shot

A long ranged web attack fired from the spiders rear, capable of encasing the player in web restricting movement until destroyed. This attack deals low damage and has a very low accuracy but can be incredibly dangerous as it allows the Orbweaver to get in close for more lethal attacks.

Wolf Spider

Description

Wolf spiders are very large spiders, even bigger than Orbweaver spiders. They are light brown and furry with dark brown stripes on their backsides.

Behaviour

Wolf Spiders, like Orbweavers, only occupy certain areas of the garden, in which they will patrol and attack anyone who enters. Wolf spiders do not leave webs like Orbweavers, but will stalk players only revealing themselves when they are within attacking range.

Attack Patterns

Wolf spiders have two attacks. Wolf spiders are very fast and can kill an unarmored player in a single strike. Wolf spiders do not have long range attacks, but instead will jump at the player from a large distance to close the gap. Wolf spiders are dangerous even to well prepared players.

Jumping Attack

A long distance jumping attacking that is very quick and can deal massive damage but with low accuracy.

Attack Patterns

Stink bugs have two attacks. Stink bugs can deny huge areas with their toxic clouds but apart from that they are very slow and can be avoided easily. Stink bugs can take many hits and will deal high damage and as such should only be attacked by those who are prepared.

Gas Cloud

Gas cloud is a huge cloud of gas that covers an area around the stinkbug, poisoning anything that stands in it and dealing huge damage. The damage however can be negated completely with the right equipment.

Infected Mite

Description

Infected mites look like regular lawn mites, however they are darker, almost a pale green colour.

Behaviour

Infected mites will only appear in the haze zone of the garden. Infected mites wander around the haze zone attacking anything that approaches.

Attack Patterns

Infected mites have two attacks. Infected mites are stronger than lawn mites and deal more damage, however due to the nature of the haze zone only being accessible later in the game, it is likely the infected mites will serve no threat to players who are prepared. Infected mites gain no speed bonuses over regular mites.

Spitting Attack

A long distance attack that shoots a small projectile at the player. This attack is very fast but has low accuracy and damage.

infected mite spitting at the player

Jump Attack

Behaviour

Infected weevils wander the haze and charge any approaching threat that comes near it.

Attack Patterns

Infected weevils have one attack. Infected weevils can be dangerous due to the fact that it is difficult to see in the haze. These enemies will run up to you and be capable of dealing high damage to players caught unaware.

Explode

Explode causes an infected weevil to self destruct dealing high damage to players and any bugs caught in the blast. This attack takes time to wind up and is easy to dodge, but due to the low vision can catch players off guard.

Drops

There are currently only 2 unique enemies in the game. Unique enemies do not respawn after being killed.

TAYZ.T

Description

TAYZ.T is a unique enemy. TAYZ.T is unlike any other enemies and is a small hovering robot wielding a tazer and a baton. It has a red flashing light on its head.

Behaviour

TAYZ.T patrols areas near and in the large labs within the game, attacking intruders who enter.

Attack Patterns

TAYZ.T has three attacks. TAYZ.T can be very dangerous to anyone who enters the oak tree lab unprepared as his wild attack patterns and powerful attacks can very quickly kill the player. While TAYZ.T is quick and strong, it lacks range and cannot effectively harm a player from a distance.

Quick attack

Quick attack is a close range swipe dealing medium damage. This is attack is hard to block or counter as it gives the player little time to prepare and is usually used in between other attacks.

TAYZ.T striking the player

Spinning strike

Spinning strike is a close range attack that hit three times in succession if not countered. This attack is fast and can quickly kill the player but has short range and can be avoided by running away.

Drops

TAYZ.T does not drop materials, but rather raw science which can traded by talking to BURG.L

raw science lava lamp

This section details the tools, weapons and armour you can obtain in the game and the necessary steps to obtaining them.

Equipment can be crafted in the menu using materials gathered throughout the world. Crafting recipes can be unlocked by gathering the base materials for the piece of equipment.

All equipment in the game comes under three tiers, these tiers dictate the effectiveness and strength of the equipment as well as the difficulty in obtaining them where Tier 1 equipment is easy to obtain but not as good as Tier 2 and 3.

But before we get into that lets talk about analyzing materials.

Field Stations

Field stations are dome tents with science tools inside. Field stations are revealable landmarks that will appear on your map. There are many field stations to find in the game, the most notable being near the mysterious machine and inside the tree at the oak lab as part of the main questline.

The purpose of field stations is to analyze items and materials for raw science and further crafting recipes (some crafting recipes can only be obtained by analyzing materials).

unanalyzed materials appear highlighted in the inventory

Raw Science

Raw science is a currency in game that can be spent at the oak lab. Raw science can be spent to unlock new crafting recipes that can otherwise not be obtained. Raw science can be found throughout the garden and after analyzing materials. Raw science can also be retrieved from TAYZ.T’s body.

raw science found in the oak lab

Raw science can only be spent after tech chips are found and delivered to BURG.L. After speaking to BURG.L raw science can be traded. BURG.L is located at the oak lab.

Workbench

The workbench is a piece of furniture which is required to craft higher tier equipment.
The workbench recipe can be obtained by analyzing one of it’s base ingredients namely Sap.

workbench recipe

crafted workbench

The workbench can also be used to make important items like armour glue, which can be used to repair broken armour.

Durability

Durability dictates how long a piece of equipment can be used before breaking.
Tools, weapons and armour alike will maintain all of it’s benefits until it’s durability is depleted in which it will then need to be repaired.

Tools and weapons can be repaired by using qaurtzite.
Quartzite can be found in quartzite veins and only require a Tier 1 smashing tool in order to harvest. The amount of quartzite needed to repair the tools differs, but generally higher Tier equipment will require more.

Armour pieces will require armour glue in order to repair. Armour glue can be must first be unlocked in order to craft and will require a workbench. Tier 2 armour and above will require super armour glue which is harder to obtain, but arguably still cheaper in resources than re-crafting the armour pieces.

Repairing equipment is as simple as selecting repair in the inventory on the damaged piece.

Equipment does not need to be depleted in order to be repaired, however the cost of repairs remains the same.
