Navigating the Toxic Tangle: How to Reach the Garden in Grounded 2

A new guide details the fastest routes into the Garden in Grounded 2 following the Toxic Tangle update, highlighting anthill shortcuts, mount-based climbing tricks, and essential material farming spots.
Obsidian Entertainment is keeping survival crafting communities busy with the latest Toxic Tangle update for Grounded 2. One of the first major hurdles players face is figuring out how to break past the boundaries and into the Garden. According to a detailed guide by Josh Broadwell over at Polygon, the old routes through the hedge near the statue are dead ends. Players need to look toward the northeastern Grass Games region, specifically near the back door of the Flower Bed Ranger Station, to find new pathways.
There are a couple of reliable ways to breach this new zone, depending on your preferred playstyle and mount collection. The first option involves navigating the War-Torn Anthill, which serves as a subterranean highway to the northwestern corner of the Garden. Hopping onto a red ant buggy helps you cruise safely through the red ant half of the tunnels, though you will need to dodge aggressive black ants on the back half of the route. While it takes a bit of stealth or speed, running the anthill is worth the trouble because the tunnels are packed with valuable brittle and sturdy quartzite needed for early weapon upgrades.
For players looking to skip the underground skirmishes entirely, an alternative route uses the orb weaver mount for vertical mobility. By scaling a stick near the wall, walking the brickwork, and using a spiderweb to reach a nearby faucet, players can hop across hedge leaves and drop straight over the barrier. Alternatively, resourceful builders can always gather materials to construct custom staircases over the wall, or experiment with newly exposed gaps in the hedge foliage. Whatever method you choose, packing a gas mask for the roaming stinkbugs in the surrounding area is definitely recommended before you make the push.
