The Network Center within the Statue region is a late-game area connected to the experiments responsible for the protagonist’s predicament in Grounded 2. However, reaching the center requires navigating through arduous terrain, mazes, and several hostile critters. This guide essays the shortest route to the Network Center, with tips on how to enter the Statue region.

There are two entrances leading up to the Network Center or Statue region: the ‘Statue: Northern Ascent’ and ‘Statue: Southern Ascent.’ Either entrance merges into the same route shortly after entry. The south entrance is marked on the map image, and the north entrance is positioned on the opposite side of the Statue region above it.

After locating an entrance, prepare for the journey by bringing your ant mount and a torch. There will be a lot of enemies throughout the tunnels and gardens, but you can run past most of them if your gear is underleveled. Head in through either entrance and continue straight until you find a junction with a stink bug blocking the east path.

Fight the stink bug or run past it to find a barrier of dead roots on the left side. Your mount can bite through dead roots using the crunch button. Continue heading north on the path until you encounter another blockage of dead roots. Destroy the barricade with your buggy and exit the tunnel.

Pick up the raw science ahead and enter the stone maze to the left. Travel straight ahead to find Buried Treasure, containing valuable crafting materials at the end of the corridor. Follow the path while fighting or jumping over the critters in the way. Turn right at the next junction and head past the red plastic ball. Follow the garden hose through the undergrowth.

Crunch through the dead roots behind the scorpion and climb higher onto the plants to reach the checkpoint. Head in the opposite direction of the checkpoint to crunch more dead roots and enter the next section of the garden. Watch out for the praying mantis as you climb the red cloth. When the cloth runs out, turn right and climb the plant’s stem.

Take the right fork ahead to find Raw Science and progress to the Network Center. Climb higher past the spider and over the maple leaf to reach the Network Center Entrance. Scale the ladder ahead to enter the center and begin the next phase of your quest.
