How to beat Snails in Grounded 2

Wondering how to beat Snails in Grounded 2? These slow-moving creatures are a relatively common sight in the park and can present you with myriad materials that are useful late into your adventure.

Given you'll spot a Grounded 2 Garden Snail as soon as you journey out of the Training Facility, we're going to assume you're taking your first steps under the shoes of the public. Learn how to get water right away and how to get the Red Soldier Ant egg to hatch your own ride. Mounts are a great way to escape danger if nothing else.

As one of the first new critters you'll come across in Grounded 2, the Garden Snail can appear imposing. There's little reason to be afraid of the slow-moving Garden Snail. Approachable due to its docile nature, you can strike a sneaky blow for mega damage easily.

After that, you just need to tussle with the creature, but keep one thing in mind—beat it to a pulp before it can retreat into its shell. Using blunt, smashing-style weapons on its head works best, with each stun buying you more time. The Garden Snail doesn't hunker down forever, and it doesn't appear to heal up while it shelters itself, either. Just wait out its retreat and resume the battle to claim victory.

The Grounded 2 Garden Snail doesn't attack, so you're free to beat it up as and when you need to. You will need an upgraded hammer to smash the shell it leaves behind, but you should harvest the goo inside right away because it's a great resource for crafting traps and drinks.

Where to find Grounded 2 Snail locations

The humble Grounded 2 Snail can be tricky to find when you require it. They appear virtually anywhere, but always in low numbers. They can move tall foliage like grass, so get up high and look for any slowly shifting blades to spot a potential Snail trail. Given their diet of fancy plants, head to shrub-laden areas like the Statue, so turn your attention to those areas if you have an easy way to there when needed.

That's all you need to defeat the Garden Snail in Grounded 2. Learn how to beat Scorpions and Ladybugs to source the tougher materials required for the early Omni-Tool upgrades.
