Where to Locate Praying Mantis Nymphs in Grounded 2

—

Finding those tiny Praying Mantis Nymphs in Grounded 2 feels like trying to spot a needle in… well, a bunch of other needles. They hide pretty well — sneaky little devils. Honestly, it’s like they’re playing their own game of hide and seek, only I’m not sure who’s winning. When you’re not dodging their surprise attacks, you’re squinting into the weeds hoping to spot them. Spoiler: they’re great at blending in. Makes you wonder if they’re laughing at my efforts.

So, where are these elusive critters hiding? Fair question. I’ve stumbled across a few places where they like to loiter. Here’s what I’ve found.

Location-wise, Grounded 2’s got some nymph hangouts. But — uh, yeah — not a lot. There’s like six? I think? Let me see. Right, right under the pine tree at Pine Tree Hill. East of a snackbar, west of that quirky BURG.L’s Head thing. Near some statue — sounds specific, huh? — north or south, doesn’t really matter. Then there’s one south of a trash can. Who knew bugs liked trash? Oh, and the bugs (not real bugs but the glitchy kind) might mess with you. Like, that one time the nymph was there under the pine… and then it wasn’t. Thanks, Reddit, for making me feel less crazy. Consistency isn’t guaranteed, except those two near the trash can and BURG.L landmark seem reliable. Weirdly enough.

Hunting these little insects, though — it can feel like they’re chuckling from above, high in the grass. Their camouflage is on point, and it’s like they know it. If you’re super stuck, go into photo mode. Trust me on this. Unlock that camera and go on a sightseeing tour. Pink flowers kinda attract them, just not the ones with petals. Don’t ask why, probably just like the color? I dunno. They sort of vibe around there.

The one near BURG.L’s place likes duking it out with ladybugs. Handy distractor, I must admit. The other nymphs closer to statues and trash cans aren’t so… cooperative. Bring a buggy with you and see how long you last against those nimble pests.

Looking for claws, chunks, or even a head? Hey, more power to you. You’ll be facing off with a bundle of them, though chances are you might need multiple runs. Praying Mantis loot drops are basically… a mixed bag. Treat it like a surprise.

By the way, if you’re still confused — wouldn’t surprise me if I made things sound more complicated — there’s this beginner tips guide floating somewhere. Good stuff for not dying a lot. Guides cover all the basics: acorn shells, weed stems, grass seeds, lingonberries. Oh, and the picnic table climb. I nearly forgot. Entering that briefcase code up there? Priceless.
