In this part of the video, the presenter, Jade, highlights the updated list of 31 trinkets in the game “Grounded,” compared to the initial 20. Jade provides a detailed guide on the locations and functionalities of specific new and old trinkets, as well as their secret stats. Here’s a summary of some key trinkets discussed:
1. **Compliance Badge**: Located between Hedge and plank deck, grants small healing with successful parries but increases damage taken if hit.
2. **Defense Badge**: Found in the haze laboratory, boosts defense but reduces attack power.
3. **Biomedical Badge**: Located in the sandbox, now increases hunger much quicker but grants increased health over time.
4. **Entomologist Badge**: Found in the barbecue zone, enhances attack damage but reduces the perfect block window.
5. **Toxicology Badge**: Found in underwater broken lamp parts, reduces gas damage and provides dust immunity but doubles poison damage.
6. **Intern Badge**: Allows carrying 10 more planks and can be combined with the new cozy hauling mutation for higher efficiency.
Jade emphasizes understanding these nuances and leveraging specific trinkets based on play style and situation.

In this part of the video, the creator explains how to effectively carry 99 grass planks or stems using the right gear and new plank carriers found on the map. A tier 3 ax is necessary to break through certain roots. Carrying 10 more planks is beneficial despite a 25% slower speed, which can be mitigated with an upgraded Explorer and aphid boots.
The health and safety dominant badge is described next, found in the wasp nest. Attacking enemies restores 4% health per hit, but it also applies a bleeding debuff causing health loss. It’s recommended for Berserker-style builds.
The video then covers the rotten Berry charm located in the Eastern flower bed, requiring ladders or platforms and a bomb to access. It grants a 10% chance of releasing a poison cloud when using rotten weapons, which deals stacked damage over time.
Lastly, the unarmed power droplet charm is discussed, found at the back of the Brony box. This charm grants a 25% chance of a special bonus with unarmed attacks, dealing extra damage and stun. Recent nerfs now reset this effect upon taking a hit, previously allowing continuous procs.
00:06:00
In this part of the video, the focus is on strategies for maximizing damage and benefits from specific gear and abilities. It explains the importance of maintaining a continuous attack to fully leverage bonus damage and stun abilities, especially when using certain armor like B armor. The video notes that these strategies can also help unlock weapon mutations more efficiently. The spotlight then shifts to a newly added speed droplet from the recent super duper update, which reduces stamina cost and increases speed, obtained through a series of specific steps including getting the sticky gum by using a tier 3 explosion. Detailed instructions are provided for obtaining the sticky key and recipe for bomb arrows, and the strategy for unlocking the speed droplet involves repeatedly hitting aphids with weaker weapons to maximize chances of triggering the effect, and potentially using the steel mutation for further advantage.

In this part of the video, various strategies and items to enhance gameplay are discussed. The narrator talks about obtaining a Pebble dagger and mentions the “speed droplet from an aphid,” but notes a potential nerf regarding pets. The “sticky charm” offers a 10% chance to steal from enemies, but with limitations on how much can be stolen per enemy. The narrator explains the process involving bomb arrows to acess materials and points out specific boss fight limitations. The “volatile Fang” from infected wolf spiders provides a 30% chance of explosive damage when blocking. Additionally, “Four’s pendant” provides critical and damage boosts, healing, and stamina regeneration stats, and offers various reductions including exhaustion and hunger rates. Finally, there’s a reference to acquiring “Sarah’s charm” related to the character Wendell’s son, Four.

In this segment of the video, the narrator explains that by defeating the assistant manager and obtaining the assistant manager key card, several secret laboratories around the map can be accessed. One essential lab is under the Oak in the ponds, where you will find half of Savior’s Charm and a crucial button. The other half of the charm is located in the stump lab. Each half of the charm provides different benefits, such as repairing shield durability or weapon durability. Combining both halves enhances these effects. Additionally, the video covers unique food droplets like mint ice caps, spicy chachars, cell wormholes, and salt, which enhance melee weapon damage. The Everlasting Hog Stopper, obtained from fresh hot dogs, reduces hunger, while the fungal charm from haze fungus offers resistance against explosive damage. The fancy fletching found in the haze area boosts bow performance by reducing exhaustion time after use.
00:15:00
In this segment of the video, the narrator discusses various trinkets and items you can acquire in the game. They explain that you have a 5% chance of getting an insulating lava spike from any ladybird larvae, with a guaranteed drop from a specific larvae in a cave connecting the lower and upper yard. This spike increases resistance to sizzle effects by 50%. The dandelion trinket, which drops from chopping dandelions, lasts longer than a regular dandelion tuft but is unrepairable.
Additionally, the WASP area inside the Bronyboy Box contains three trinkets, such as The Shield Solidifier, which provides an extra block gauge likely for shields. Another trinket from this area allows summoning black widowlings during combat, pairing well with other spider-related gear.
Boss drops are also covered, highlighting that defeating major bosses like the WASP Queen can yield trinkets with a 25% chance of conserving ammo and mentioning perks to increase chances of item theft. Collecting figurines from laboratories can enhance the stealing chance, up to 10% if all are found, unlocking various mutations.
00:18:00
In this part of the video, the speaker explains the mechanics of loot distribution from bugs and bosses. Each boss has separate “containers” for different loot items, each with varying drop rates. The chance of obtaining trinkets and other items is not fixed and depends on these containers. Buffs like the steel buff and the loot luck buff can increase the chances of acquiring trinkets.
The managed trinket is highlighted for its 100% chance to regenerate 50% stamina with each critical hit, especially useful with fast weapons. The Brew mother trinket adds poison damage to summons, effective with various creatures except black widowlings. The infected brood mother trinket offers a 25% chance for summons to drop a cluster bomb, which no longer causes friendly fire damage.
The speaker acknowledges the challenges in showcasing trinket drops due to the rarity and difficulty of repeatedly battling bosses. They suggest more efficient strategies for specific boss fights, such as reloading the game in tougher stages to optimize time and effort in acquiring trinkets.
