If you’re looking for the best spear in Grounded 2, then look no further than the Groom Skewer. It is really powerful and can even be upgraded. But to get it you’ll have to go through some hoops.
The first thing you need is a Tier 2 Omni Tool (Upgraded Axe). For this you’ll need 2000 Raw Science, 2x Blueberry Chunks, and 1x Roach Chunks. Once we have everything we’ll need to head into the Toxic Anthill and battle the Roach Queen.
How to Get the Gloom Skewer in Grounded 2
The Toxic Ant Hill that has the Gloom Skewer spear is in the Snackbar Front area of the map. The cave entrance has an Ominent can outside, making it easier to spot.
You’ll face a mini-gauntlet inside the Toxic Anthill, including an elite boss fight. Come prepared. The ant tunnels are dark, and there are lots of enemies. Having your Buggy with you can help deal with the mobs.
- Start from the South Entrance of the Toxic Anthill (preferred route).
- Head straight into the tunnel. At the first fork, take a left.
- Keep following the path until you see two canisters and a dead Bombardier Beetle.
- Take a hard right and continue deeper into the cave.
- You’ll enter roach territory. Roaches won’t be hostile unless attacked, so stay on your Buggy to avoid conflict.
- Watch out for toxic pools. These can burn you if you step in them.
- Keep heading toward the back of the cave until you see a large glowing knob of Raw Science.
- Take a left and climb uphill. Get ready, this is where the fight begins.
The Roach queen is the one guarding the Gloom Skewer Spear. She hits hard and she also spits acid at you. When you manage to take her head off, she respawns becomes even more aggressive so make sure to bring your ant companion, especially if you have the Red Soldier Ant.
Even after you beat the Roach Queen the job isn’t done. The Gloom Skewer is blocked by giant mushrooms. This is where the Tier 2 axe comes into play. Since you can’t jump over the mushroom, use the axe to cut through to get to the Gloom Skewer spear in Grounded 2.
