Grounded 1.4 Infused Broodmother Build

[@NotBlackWolf]

If you want to absolutely melt a boss, roll trinkets until you have one that has +boss damage and +whatever boss you want to fight. They stack and do massive damage. Also a tip for the broodmother, when she starts her scream animation throw a high stun weapon at her. Sometimes you'll stun her and cancel the scream.

[@rebelbrick]

If you want a lot of science waffles go to the termite hill and slaughter basically all of them and you will end up with like ten or more

[@zattack5757]

That scream thing is sooo helpful thanos

[@byajoint4207]

@@zattack5757have you tested it if so. Does it actually work

[@NotBlackWolf]

@@byajoint4207 I have a short I uploaded that shows it working

[@NotBlackWolf]

@@rebelbrick Yes, I went there last night. Good farming spot. One more tip, tender foot defense is broken. Makes the ants and termites on my farming runs deal like 0 damage.

[@joashbergman5477]

Personally, I would suggest black widow armor with coaltana. Blade master, meat shield, spicy safety, cardio fan, and coup de gras (mainly for the additional chance to stagger her). You do have to perfect block all attacks in order to win with this build, but it doesn't take any smoothies or many bandages. When she summons the ads, save them for heals later in the fight. Try not to parry them, as the poison from widow armor will kill them. Take out infused summons of course. One final tip, bring a pet ant with you to the fight. The broodmother seems to have a chance to target the ant when in the bossfight, which happens to be directly below the spawn eggs. It can give you some time to recover. I have beaten her 25 times in NG+1. I died every single spicy or sour infusion, and died most of the fresh infusions since you can't get your attacks on the ads in time. It might be a harder build to use, but I only used 20 fiber bandages and 2 grumbles during all of the 25 fights. Every third or fourth fight, you will need to repair your armor, so bring some glue.

[@Therealdeal668]

When the broodmother gets the spicy buff, dont let the nuke mother scream...

[@ThomasStewart0609]

also in ng+ and up, you should go back to the old trinket locations like the power droplet and thors pendant, the have the same stats plus an extra one, i got thors pendant with poison resist and it really helped

[@lexthechexmex9974]

I know that when you are in multi-player when you are in the inventory menu, the game doesn't pause like it does in single player. Could be how the devs coded the peer to peer connection. It is something interesting to note.

[@PhoenixThuan]

That's just how every game works in multiplayer, nothing new...

[@Nathy835]

With the inventory open, it only pauses the game if you are playing on Mild. On Medium difficulty, it doesn't pause it, so you have to be extremely quick if you want to switch a piece of equipment between 2 attacks.

[@karoly2811]

you can block her attacks with imparry debuff, you just have to be super super precise with the timing

[@TBNAfrangsYT]

You actually can’t get lvl 10 weapons until killing the Hedge Broodmother, as you need Broodmother Infused Ooze to craft the Yoking Station.

[@joashbergman5477]

Level 9 tools, weapons, and armor have been attainable since the early days of grounded. Level 10+ requires the yoking station.

[@TBNAfrangsYT]

That’s what I meant. I’ll change it.

[@TBNAfrangsYT]

@@joashbergman5477 Thanks for correcting me.

[@youraveragemexican265]

Hey, I have a waffle that does Crit damage up major and does extra Broodmother damage. Could I use this one?

[@darkdraco02]

Can you get the thor pendant buff on a random trinket ?

[@ianofrikhter9105]

My way to kill it in NG+1 Whoa: 1) Full set of fire ant + defence badge (-35% damage to you) 2) Toenail scimitar (it have -10% boss damage (infection) and -30 % boss damage from blademaster mutation) with shield (i am not good blocker) 3) Spicy staff 4) Healings + rage + human food potions 5) Mutations: Mantsterious Stranger, Mom Genes, Blademaster , Natural Explorer, Whittle Wizard 6) Tactics: we use 2 sets of weapons (staff and sword+shield) so use Q to change it whe you need, attack Boss with fast sword, and spawn a lot of summons, when boss call spyders, run and use staff to kill it, if boss is far from you, use staff (it will summon more ants).

[@ProjectDoomsDay837]

What weapon would you recommend for the infused mantis on NG+ 1? I tried to kill it but the salt morning star does not do much on level 9.

[@Claypole11]

Try to upgrade to lvl 10 because that's what I did and it melted it's healthbar

[@ProjectDoomsDay837]

@@Claypole11 Oh nice. Thanks

[@Kingcrabz-x9m]

The way I did it was full widow set sour battle axe and a bunch of smoothies all level nine btw and also I did 3 player

[@michaelmurphy3982]

Hey paralyse have you got any black widow builds yet would also like to see you fight 1 in your streams also

[@bIlllll]

what about the infected broodmother?

[@Dontest]

hey, can you record about the best weapons?

[@stigmoplayzgd]

Interesting build, quite similar to the regular Broodmother build!

[@sypion40]

Well for the broodmother in ng 1 I run full red ant armor with spici katana and scicy staff and it was easy. Just a bit longer

[@Adoptmegoais]

This is a random question and I haven’t explored the update yet but does the game get harder every ng+? This might be an obvious question but

[@the_Bear_Den]

Yes

[@tylerstagg5417]

I tend to use the Compliance Badge for the parry heal. It helps when it's doing it's fast attacks, and either way, you need to parry it or you're dead. So I currently use koi fish armor for the larger parry window + compliance badge. It also allows you to heal very fast off of the spiderlings it spawns. Side note: One of the debuffs the Broodmother can give is imperfect block, (makes you unable to perfect block) but for some reason I have a small window where I still can. It could have to do with the extended window, but I am still able to perfect block if I do it just right.

[@LunarWormWood]

Compliance badge? Yikes, 45% more damage taken just isn't worth it

[@tylerstagg5417]

@@LunarWormWood It doesn't feel like 45%. I thought it was like 25% at most. But the strategy has been working fine for me.

[@Khaizen10]

It doesn’t give an imperfect block buff. It gives -perfect block which lowers the perfect block window.

Does the extra broodmother dmg trinket works for the infected broodmother?

[@neekid1371]

No, there is separate effect for IBM damage

[@isisdiaz9942]

[@AndrewZiel]

What's your take on NG+ on Whoa? I exclusively play on that difficulty, but hearing a lot of fuss about mob scaling even on the lower difficulties.

[@mrmagnamalo7864]

Lower it to medium and you will be fine

[@dexter1273_]

hey para, can you make a video about the new Easter eggs added in the update (not secrets, literal Easter eggs)? also this was a great video, thanks for the build!

[@joashbergman5477]

To find them, survey for candycorn.

[@cypheek]

i just wish this game would have gotten some element to combat other than perfect parries. or builds that benefit from not parrying like rolls/dodges.

[@Praintrixx]

It keeps saying my friend is offline and the same thing happens to her when we try multiplayer. What do i do?

[@mattcanterbury]

Using fire ant helm is a good idea. I really need to get into the habit of using it against bosses. I got a waffle with implant weaknesses sour so i just used sour battle axe after i beat her the first time and powered up my axe to lvl10. I just like the axe. I have an increased sour damage major and finale goop, but when she gets slowed down it becomes way too hard to parry her attacks. I hot bar my other trinket and have sticky gum equipped at start. I also have my starting class with rascal rogue equipped. When i steal two items i switch to my helpful trinket and class with a better mutation such as shocking dismissal. Then after i kill her i change to my deafult class that has dissection expert equipped. Just maximizes the rewards and you get the items befors the orb weaver jrs come in.

[@ldookdnnshjdjsjjnxnndsnipe397]

Tried your method, Played it the same way you did, Went with 100 soothing both sticky and beefy but she always Summons the infused spiderlings and whenever I take a brief moment to run around and use the staff she decided to attack me and when I parry she hits through the parry even when the parry effect shows on screen but isn’t being sought out in game.

[@paraly5er]

Strange, maybe it's the other enemies hitting you. You should be able to parry her attacks completely fine, even with a staff

[@gobroplays]

Love me some Grounded.

[@MrTheTaz]

does it matter if i switch ant boots and lady bug helm?

[@Yo-uz3om]

you can save scum when you reroll your cones and waffles if you really want to, how i rolled a mad scientist with crit best on it getting 3/3 on a cone like straight impossible

[@briangx1452]

Funny thing with Thor pendant on new game + if u look for it again it has a extra stat. I got mine with damage reduction. U can get random rolls

[@paraly5er]

Same for all trinkets that spawn naturally in the world

[@Ace-thpup]

man straight stole my whole armor xD I have the assassin helmet instead of greves and the fire ant greves instead of helmet

[@narutokingfunky]

I got a major glitch fighting on a friends world, when I get the broodmother to the last faze she does her stun scream but it doesn’t stop me from moving only not attacking ( can still run away from spider lings), and her actual attacks are now out of sync with her animations, as in their are invisible attacks coming like 1.9 seconds before the animation even starts. Anybody else have this problem I am on ps5 so is my buddy 😅

[@paraly5er]

YES, I have this issue on pc multiplayer. It’s the game for sure, I’ve told the devs and hopefully it will be fixed soon

[@Imp_Playz]

Would the widow armour work??? (Cause of the spider kings for the trickle regen)

[@chauve_nrv5995]

No the rest of the fight you're just stuck with an armor that don't boost your damage as well as making you extremely fragile

[@Imp_Playz]

@@chauve_nrv5995 k coz first time I did it in new game plus 1 I defeated it with widow armour and found it decent

[@sullybeast9291]

I’m getting so frustrated I fought the brother on ng+2 so many times and I’m dying with the exact same mutations and but the spicy battle axe instead level 12 and the same amour but I’m still getting smoked i get it one hp each time

Just gotta keep trying and you’ll get there im sure, sometimes her infusions are wayyyy stronger than others

[@jipuon6711]

Please do one on the infused mantis in new game +2 please I literally cant even get it to half health

[@mosesslai]

unfortunately you cannot upgrade past level 9 if havent got the yoking station, which requires the broodmother ooze to make. so you need to beat the broodmother to get past lvl 9

[@Ionix0709]

I used the broodmother helm, the termite chest, and the widow greaves with a spicy damage up science crinkle using a spicy level 9 widow dagger My mutations were more health, parry master, mithridatism, coup de grass, and assassin

Parrying the scream is possible it just has a weird timing

We need a video on upgrading weapons past level 10 to 15..its gonna be a super long grind..it tskes roughly 100 of the new crystals to go from 10 to 15..but!! When you get to level 15 you get over 200% damage buff..this is gonna be crucial for higher difficulty and i dont see anyone making videos on this subject yet..honestly i dont see anyone talking about it at all

[@zattack5757]

Yeahhh.. are there any easier ways to get infused ooze?

[@wickedchild100]

The farther into ng+ you go the more ooze you get per bug. It is worth getting your weapons up one or two levels in ng+1 and then going into ng+2 where you will get three times the ooze for the same effort. Also duping focus crystals.
