Unveiling Location, Drops, and Strategies for Grounded 2's Northern Scorpion
In the expansive world of Grounded 2, players will encounter a formidable foe known as the Northern Scorpion. These armored arthropods are a major new addition to the game, and understanding their behavior and weaknesses is crucial for survival and progression.
Fighting the Northern Scorpions
To effectively take down Northern Scorpions, focus on dealing Smashing damage. Particularly, target their rump and stinger, which are their weak points. A useful tool for this is the Warhammerlet, which deals Smashing damage. Another strategy is to use a buggy to distract the Scorpion, creating openings for attacking these vulnerable areas. Blocking and parrying with shields and spears is also very effective, allowing for stuns and quick kills with follow-up attacks. Brewing and consuming Scorpidote Smoothies can help cure the venom effect you might get during the fight[1][3].
Northern Scorpions tend to spawn in areas like furrowed dirt, shallow caves, and especially trenches in the northern part of Brookhollow Park[1][3]. They are resistant to Fresh, Slashing, and Venom damage types, so weapons like the Warhammerlet are preferable for fighting them[3].
Looting the Northern Scorpions
Defeating Northern Scorpions can yield several valuable components:
- Northern Scorpion Stinger (main drop of interest) used for Tier 2 Shovel crafting/upgrades.
- Northern Scorpion Chunk
- Northern Scorpion Pincer
- Scorpion Venom
The Stinger is particularly valuable for progressing tools, like the Tier 2 Shovel upgrade for the Omni-Tool. Scorpion materials can also be used to craft Scorpion Armor, but this armor is generally outclassed by Wolf Spider Armor[1][4].
Farming the Northern Scorpions
For farming purposes, Northern Scorpions spawn at a known badge location near the southwest of Ceremony, close to the Snack Bar Outpost, where you can repeatedly engage to farm their stingers daily[5].
In summary, mastering the Northern Scorpions in Grounded 2 involves understanding their weak points, utilizing the right weapons, and brewing the appropriate potions for survival and efficient loot gathering.
