Survival game Grounded is all about making the most of what you have. But if you get hurt, these are the best things to use to get better.
In Grounded, the four main characters are pre-teens who live in a wild backyard. They have to fight for their lives against the dangers of the yard and the bugs that live there. The people who live in the backyard can really hit (or bite), so you will need to spend your money on some of the best healing items in Grounded.
You’ll want to eat these weird foods and drink these sweet smoothies as you fight your way across the Grounded map on your way back to normal size. In video games, eating random food pieces and healing wounds have always gone together, and Grounded is no different. When it comes to getting better, you should be ready with an empty stomach so you can eat some really delicious smoothies.
Fiber Bandage
| Effects | |
|---|---|
| +1 HP every two seconds |
Fiber Bandages are a common item that heals health in Grounded. It doesn’t take much time, effort, or resources to make a lot of them. You should try to get as many of these as you can because it only takes one or two bad bugs to use them all up.
If you need to get your health back quickly, this is not a good choice, since the trickle status effect takes a while to get your health back to a safe range. Bandages work best after a fight, because you will probably be fully healed by the time you reach your next fight or get back to your camp.
Insect Roasts
| Effects | |
|---|---|
| +40 percent HP instantly |
Small bugs like Aphids and Weevils are easy to find and all you need to cook them is a roasting spit. This makes roasts one of the best health-restoring items for your money. The biggest problem with roasts is that they each have their own health bars. This means that they can’t be stacked, so you have to make room in your inventory for each one.
Luckily, if you are a light packer, this restriction shouldn’t bother you too much because you can heal yourself whenever you want. Before you go to your next M.I.X.R event, go hunting and stock up on roasts. Once you get far enough in the game, you’ll get the tools you need to keep them alive, so keep going through the story.
Healbasas
| Effects | |
|---|---|
| +40 percent HP instantly on contact |
Healbasas, unlike roasts, can be stacked, and when thrown, they heal a large area of effect (AoE). Keep in mind that this effect will heal you and any other creatures that happen to be in Healbasa’s area of effect (AoE) range.
When playing in a group, this can be used to heal both you and your teammates if you position it well. Even though it’s less useful when you’re playing alone, it still heals a lot. And you can throw it at your feet to heal while you run away from a Black Widow spider.
Worker’s Comp
| Effects | |
|---|---|
| +25 percent HP instantly | +2 Hauling Inventory |
Worker’s Comp won’t be your pre-battle drink. Instead, it will be your pre-building drink. Since it lets you carry two more Weed Steams or Grass Planks at once. Even though this use seems unusual, building camps in Grounded can take a lot of time, so getting your base built faster can mean the difference between life and death.
When you combine this smoothie with the Intern Badge, your character becomes a one-person construction crew that can build a whole fort in just a few minutes. This is the drink for people who just want to craft and build while ignoring as many hostile bugs as possible.
Hedge Lord
| Effects | |
|---|---|
| +25 percent HP instantly | Lowers Hunger and Thirst drain |
Along with the other smoothies, Hedge Lord gives you two kinds of benefits. In this case, it heals you and also makes you less hungry and thirsty. This smoothie is easy to make, but while you’re at The Hedge, stock up on Berry Chunks. You’ll need them for both this smoothie and Berry Leather.
Even though the extra benefits of some smoothies depend on the situation. It’s always nice to have less hunger and thirst. Berry Chunks should be the only limited resource here, since you’ll need to wait for berries to respawn before you can stockpile enough to make all the juice you’ll want after trying Hedge Lord.
Boost Juice
| Effects | |
|---|---|
| +25 percent HP instantly | Boosts Max Stamina |
Boost Juice is another smoothie with a lot of power. It gives you a 25% boost to your maximum HP and a boost to your maximum Stamina. You’ll have to give up a valuable Aphid for each smoothie. So think about how much HP you need before deciding which meal to make.
If you’re trying to beat one of Spacebar Clicker game’s hardest bosses, like the Mantis or The Broodmother, you may need to use the extra Stamina to run away or keep slashing to do as much damage as possible. Don’t forget how powerful an energy shot can be.
Green Machine
| Effects | |
|---|---|
| +25 percent HP instantly | Boosts Stamina Recovery by 20 percent |
Green Machine is similar to its cousin, Boost Juice, in that it lets you keep hunting. Gathering, or fighting without stopping. It also helps your Stamina recover 20% faster. This is the best way to get back Stamina outside of a Spider Armor set, but it doesn’t limit your style choices.
Algae is most often found in the Koi pond, so how much you can harvest. Depends on how much you can find underwater. On the other hand, Sprigs and Clover Leaves are so easy to find that finding one Algae is almost like finding a Green Machine waiting to be made.
Liquid Rage
| Effects | |
|---|---|
| +25 percent HP instantly | +10 percent Damage Output |
Liquid Rage is one of the best ways to get healthy. And make sure you can beat your next enemy before they even attack. This smoothie will help you stay alive against tough enemies like spiders because it increases your damage by 10%.
One of the best ways to use this damage boost is with The Rusty Spear or another weapon that can attack quickly. This is because the extra damage will be done over several attacks, not just on each one.
Fuzz On The Rocks
| Effects | |
|---|---|
| +25 percent HP instantly | +20 Max Health |
Fuzz On The Rocks is one of the most powerful healing items in Grounded. It both restores your HP and adds 20 points to your maximum health. In addition to being powerful, this smoothie is also very easy to make. Because Clay, Pebbles, and Mites are all over the map and easy to find.
Use Muscle Sprouts to get the Beefy effect, which increases the amount of base HP healed and gives these smoothies a little more healing power. You’ll still need to be careful, as bigger bugs and bosses can still quickly eat away at your health, but this smoothie will make it much harder for them to do that.
Human Food
| Effects | |
|---|---|
| +25 percent HP instantly | Reduces Damage Taken by 10 percent |
Even though Fuzz on the Rocks may have more raw health, Human Food is the best way to get healthy and stay healthy. It won’t be easy to make this smoothie without making a few trips to the picnic table and the area around it. Make sure to look in the sandbox and shed for more food pieces that might be lying around.
This is a must-have for any hard fights you want to try, as the reduced damage will help you take hits from enemies like Black Widows, who can easily take away half of your HP and poison you to wear you down. With Human Food, bosses won’t be a problem because you can easily heal while taking damage from them.
