If you want to get Pond Moss in Grounded 2: Into the Abyss, you need to prepare for a deep dive into the new zone of Hollowbrook Park: Skunk Pond. With all the underwater exploration coming back to the game, it is critical to know how to get your gear ready to collect all the new crafting materials, including Pond Moss.
This guide will explain where you can find these mats in Grounded 2, as well as the best methods to get them faster. But beware, this is a Tier 3 Mat that requires developing the new Omni-Clipper collection tool in your nearest Ranger Station, so better start there before proceeding with this guide.
Where to Find & How To Farm Pond Moss in Grounded 2: Into the Abyss
Pond Moss is one of the mats you need to unlock the Toe Bitter Buggy in Grounded 2, as well as Koi Fish Scales, Sunken Bones, and Horsetail Stems.
It's a Tier 3 Material that grows in the depths of Skunk Pond, the deepest zone of the new sub. aquatic area. It grows mostly around Ominent's abandoned Diving Station, and to reach that area, players will need at least the Diving Suit Armor Set made out of Diving Bell Spider mats.
But to get it before you unlock the Toe Biter Water Buggy, you will need the Onmi-Clipper at level 3 to farm it. So, here's what you need to do:
- Travel to the nearest Ranger Station, then open the Omni-Tool tab.
- Select the Omni-Clipper, then upgrade it to level 3.
For Tier 1, you will need 1000 Raw Science Points, 1 Water Boatman Fin, and 2 Wax. For Tier 2, you will need 2000 Raw Science Points, 1 Diving Bell Spider Chunk, and 2 Crow Feather Pieces. Finally, to unlock Tier 3, you will need 3000 Raw Science Points, 1 Toe Bitter Claw, and 2 Sunken Bones.
With the Tier 3 Omni-Clipper and a full set of Diving Armor (or Koi Fish Armor), you will need to delve into the chilling depths of Skunk Pond, then drop into the Diving Station and collect the moss growing out of the tubes surrounding the entrance.
