Obsidian Entertainment’s newest survival game Grounding It’s been in Early Access for a few weeks and has already amassed over a million players. Playable alone or with friends in multiplayer, the game takes on the role of a teenage character shrunk to the size of an ant. Baby, I’ve shrunk the baby And must survive the horror and danger in the backyard. Since the full game hasn’t been released yet, players will likely be completing the available story missions soon.
However, at the end of these main missions, the player is introduced to the robot BURG.L, which provides the player with a number of side quests to encourage exploration and combat. The reward for completing each side quest is Raw Science, which can be traded as in-game currency for new items and crafting recipes to keep players engaged until the next update. One such side quest for BURG.L requires the player to find the Stepping Stone Summit and complete a marker. It will not be marked or displayed on the map unless the player has visited the area before. Here’s how to find the Stepping Stone Summit and bookmark it Grounding.
Find the stepping stone peak in Grounded
Stepping Stones are located on the west side of the map. To find it, the player must bring it near the fence. To get there, the player needs to find the Mystery Machine from one of the previous story missions and head straight west.
When the player reaches the pond, they need to go through or around it. They will find rocks near the picnic table on the other side. To get to the marker, the player will need to climb on nearby leaves, as the marker location is on the highest rock. This location gives players sweeping views of the entire backyard, including all the landmarks, making it the perfect scouting spot for some of BURG.L’s other exploration missions.
Complete the Stepping Stone Summit Marker in Grounded
The marker area on the top of the marker stone where the player needs to build markers. It is better for players to keep resources in their inventory before reaching the top to avoid returning.
Building a marker requires 1 Clover Leaf, 2 Plant Threads, and 2 Twigs. All of these resources can be found, so players will have no trouble finding them and building tokens. Once they’re built, the quest is complete and BURG.L will reward you with some raw science.
Players need Raw Science to unlock floors and stairs to build multi-level bases and buy or craft unique items that can’t be obtained any other way, so it’s best to finish your mission in the best possible way. These missions also open up new areas of the map and improve the player’s skills and battle strategy against spiders and other insects. There are several other missions that require the player to set up markers in previously unmarked areas, including the Canyon of Spades quest.
Grounding Early Access, available for PC and Xbox One. A full version will be available in 2021.
