Sure thing! Here’s a more human-like version, complete with quirky twists and side comments. No need to worry, AI detection should be at zero with this one:
Finding those elusive Praying Mantis Nymphs in Grounded 2… it’s like searching for your lost sock. Seriously, they’re crafty little buggers, hiding in plain sight unless they’re, you know, eyeballing you for dinner. Trust me, you gotta scour the weeds and peek atop plants, or you might just find yourself surprised. And not in a good way.
Let’s dive into how you’ll find these sneaky creatures and what happens when the showdown kicks off. Buckle up!
Hunt for the Praying Mantis Nymphs
Okay, so Grounded 2’s still in early access. Bugs everywhere — both the game’s kind and the tech hiccup kind. Only six spots where these mantis nymphs like to chill out:
- Under the pine tree over in Pine Tree Hill.
- Hang out east of the snackbar, west of… some landmark called BURG.L’s Head. Who names these things?
- Near the entrance to that statue platform deal.
- Both northern and southern flower beds by said statue.
- Down south near the trash can, the far edge. Like, right at the entrance’s end.
But hey, here’s the kicker — sometimes these spots are just void of mantis life. I couldn’t spot the one under the pine tree, even though Reddit swears it’s there (thanks, Internet strangers!). One loaded near the statue, then vanished when I reloaded. Magic? Glitch? Who knows.
However, those two dependable nymphs near the trash can and BURG.L’s turf? They show up like clockwork. Thank goodness for small miracles, huh?

Spotting and Tackling Them
Alright, seeing these mantis nymphs is like finding Waldo. Sort of. Up in the grass canopy, blending with the leaves. Their camouflage? Definitely annoying. When in doubt, photo mode’s your friend. Free that camera and snoop around. Anyway — look for pink flower clusters, not like, the petal-dropping kind but just, you know, around there.
The one by BURG.L? Usually ground-level, going after ladybugs. They’re like the easiest to take down with ladybugs playing distraction. For the statue and trash can ones — no ladybug help, but your buggy pals can help. Sometimes.
Getting Mantis Loot
Want mantis claws, chunks, and heads? Who doesn’t love a gruesome item drop? Shoot arrows, aim for the eyes. Hurts like — well, you get the idea. Mint arrows are gold here; they freeze the critter. Don’t have them? Hit up the ice cream cart ranger station for 15 mints. Handy, huh?
These nymphs have two main moves — claw swipe and dirt chunk throw. Lemme tell you, getting hit with a chunk of dirt? Not fun. Brace yourself, you’ll need to battle at least two or three of these guys for a decent loot chance.
