Locations of Praying Mantis Nymphs in Grounded 2

Sure, here goes:

—

Alright, so finding these little Praying Mantis Nymphs in Grounded 2? It’s like trying to spot your kid in a sea of identical raincoats at a random outdoor festival. These critters pretty much just blend right into the whole scenery. It’s almost like they’re playing hide and seek. Sometimes I swear they’re giggling at me from somewhere.

Anyway, let’s dive in — where do you find these sneaky fellas? Looks like there are six main spots where these nymphs like to chill, or maybe haunt, depending on your perspective. Let me break it down for you:

1. Pine Tree Hill under that big old pine tree.
2. Stretch east of the snackbar but hang west around BURG.L’s Head.
3. Circle near the entrance to the statue’s platform.
4. Both flower beds next to the statue — north and south play.
5. South side near the trash can at the very further ends near the entrance.

Now for the kicker — don’t be too shocked if they’re AWOL. Could be bugs, could be just life playing tricks again. Reddit folks claim they’re there, but you know how Reddit is — take it or leave it, really. Oddly enough, the mantis near the trash can and BURG.L’s Head? They’re the consistent loiterers, always ready for a showdown.

Let’s not forget though, hunting these guys is only half the story. Battling them? Well, that’s a different ballgame. Ever stood still, staring up at the grass canopy, wondering about life? Because that’s generally what it feels like. Look for them among clusters of pink flowers — the kind you don’t pick for your crush but maybe should have.

The little fella lurking near BURG.L? Often on the ground, probably bullying ladybugs — who, by the way, do you a solid by distracting the nymph while you prepare for combat. Ladybugs are MVPs, IMO. Near the statue and trash can though? Bring a buggy buddy. You’re gonna need the help.

Let’s chat weapons for a sec. Go in with slashing weapons, nothing too whimsy — and if you choose mint arrows, you’re golden. Pick up a bunch from the ice cream cart ranger station, and you’re prepping like a pro. It’s almost therapeutic, seeing those mint arrows freeze these critters.

These mantises mostly go for two moves: a swipe with their claws or tossing dirt at you. Maybe there’s a metaphor there for life throwing dirt your way — or maybe it’s just bugs being bugs. Whatever the case, stay patient— get your share of claws and heads, or chunks. It’s kinda like a weird bug lottery.

And side note, if you’re feeling lost exploring Grounded 2 (aren’t we all sometimes?), there’s a starter guide link somewhere — probably have some good stuff on acorns and seeds.

And, uh, for kicks, climb up that picnic table and check out a briefcase code. Surprises, right?
