Grounded Dossier
Even though we would love to name this guide as Insect Guide, we can’t. Dude… not even spiders are insects! Therefore, the Creatures Guide beyond bringing all Grounded related information, will educate you about each creature animal class.
The guide sections are based on players needs:
- Best Weapons + Armors to Kill Creatures: learn what are the best gears to kill each creature.
- Creatures Stats, Location, and Loot: everything about the creatures.
