Can I have a pet in Grounded?
Yes, absolutely! Grounded allows players to capture and tame insects as their loyal companions. Having a pet can provide advantages such as additional inventory slots, assistance in combat, and even companionship during your journey.
How can I capture insects to turn them into pets?
To capture insects in Grounded, you will need to craft a specialized tool called the Insect Hammer. Once equipped, you can stun small insects by attacking them until they are immobilized. Larger insects, however, cannot be tamed and will only serve as foes.
Which insects can be tamed as pets in Grounded?
Currently, there are three main insects that can be tamed as pets:
– Aphids: These small, harmless creatures can be captured by using the Insect Hammer. Once tamed, they will follow you around and provide a small amount of sustenance when consumed.
– Errant Ants: These ants are found in some corners of the backyard and can be tamed using the Insect Hammer. Not only will Errant Ants provide inventory slots to their owners, but they can also help in combat by attacking nearby enemies.
– Larva: These adorable little grubs can be found in acorns throughout the game’s environment. By crafting a Dew Collector to get clean water, players can tame the Larva and use them to carry mushroom chunks.
How can I increase my chances of successful pet capture?
Capturing insects and successfully turning them into pets requires a bit of strategy. Here are a few tips to help increase your chances:
– Approach the insects from behind to minimize the risk of being attacked.
– Use the Insect Hammer’s stun attack wisely to immobilize the insects without accidentally killing them.
– Be patient! Some insects may require multiple attempts to be captured successfully.
How do I build and upgrade my pet’s habitat?
To create a space for your pets in Grounded, you can build customizable Pet Houses. These structures allow you to feed, water, and upgrade your pets. Upgrading the Pet House will unlock additional abilities for your pet, making them more useful to you during your journey.
Obtaining pets is one of the most enjoyable aspects of playing Grounded, providing players with assistance, company, and additional benefits as they explore the vast backyard world. Remember to practice caution when capturing insects, and put effort into nurturing and upgrading your pets’ habitats to unlock their full potential. Enjoy your adventure and may you find the perfect companion in the insect-filled wonders of Grounded!
