We Battled The NEW INFECTED BROODMOTHER in Grounded

[@Shovel________________]

i love how this game transitioned from silly bug game to backyard dark souls with its enemies. that boss entrance for the infected broodmother was genuinely the most terrifying of them all. like, by the time you've fought it you would have fought a bunch of other bosses so you already expect it to come from the ceiling, except this boss room has no entrances besides the one you came through, and then the boss is was just *there* the whole time.

I'd like that to if I didn't play the game.

[@AliciaGomez-dl8tv]

Not gonna lie if they knew how to parry it they would’ve beaten it and if they got the charm two heal They would’ve got all their health back and also the best weapon to use and armor is the toenail scimitar mint path and the assassins armor

[@hedwigon6951]

Try a Minty Toenail Scimitar, about 30 Beefy Green Machines, Lvl 7 Ladybug Armor, And a Fire Ant Shield, and MAYBE you stand a chance. Try to get the Perfect Blocks in as well.

[@baconboi7796]

Ladybug armor my beloved

[@Ninjajosh14860]

Why only level 7 lady bug armor?

[@party_taco_pro4080]

Tick sword is good because of the life steal

[@Glitchhss]

@@party_taco_pro4080 not enough damage

[@baconboi7796]

1. Rough reload GREATLY reduces damage when you shoot, wait until the debuff is over. 2. Peep.r the infected broodmother to find what is useful. 3. Use only the scythe or the clubs. Choose the mutation for either. 4. Equip reliable friend. Reviving is theoretical infinite health and making it easier to do so is great. 5. If you really can't beat the brood mother no matter what you do. Most of It's attacks are just modified versions of existing spider attacks. Go practice parries on them.

[@drysalad12mnm65]

The infected broodmother in her second phase gives you debuffs of less healing and less atk dmg by x3 in her last phase it gives debuff of x8 -x15 also her exploding infected chunks heals it by a bit .

[@bounty8400]

the stacks don't stop at 15 On my first fight with the infected Broodmother I had the reduced healing debuff with a stack of 53 at the end of the entire fight

[@lightningphil24]

what that is so much did you beat him and if you did how did you do it it’s so hard how how aaaaaaaa

[@bounty8400]

@@lightningphil24 I did beat him and I have a 3-0 win streak but it doesn't stack as much as 53 but it still gets to like around 30 . funny thing is for the first time fighting him I did it on mild just to see the fight

[@KatrinaWatts-xy9hw]

I beat her easy with a different way

[@ultmateragnarok8376]

@@bounty8400 The reduced healing effect stacks indefinitely and is 2% reduction per effect. Not sure if it's cumulative or multiplicative, but if it's cumulative then 50 is enough to make healing items straight up not work anymore.

[@yorandomdudefromtheinternet]

They really get you with this boss. You start off with “wow, this boss is super easy, weaker than like the wasp queen” but it’s such a perfect trick to let your guard down for the REAL boss…

[@dydypro]

And then after the "real" boss, theres the REAL boss 😂

[@Geckoreo]

i suggest waiting for the end of the rough reload effect ostart shooting cause thats why you werent doing damage also it seems like you can cheese them with that infected chunk like at 16:42 but you dont plan on cheesing it try corporate kickback and 1 handed fresh weapons with the fungal or shield trinket and fresh trinket is best for phase 1 also the infected broodmother does stabbing damage im pretty sure so maybe you should try spicy safety

[@KatrinaWatts-xy9hw]

No

[@kaderaeburn7387]

boss battle idea: use the blood bomb things to give u instant health (if i remember correctly)

[@jameskarg3240]

they DID nerf it a little. Its 3rd stage attack speed WAS actually impossible to counter, making it badically impossible for those who make "no damage" money challenges their lifes work

[@ThatRandomTankGuy]

The ice staff seemed to do a lot of damage, i think maybe using the mage items to boost its damage even more plus if both of you use it with the mint upgrades then i think you can kill her also i recommend use heal balsas or wtv the blood sac bombs are

Well infected broodmother weakness is fresh.

[@TBBTAG]

If your happy and you know it clap your hands!

[@Chris-vl1df]

I don't know for what specific stuff to bring, but I know explosive damage heals it and it is immune (or at least resistant) to poison, so keep that in mind

[@momkeymoney]

I used lil fist, chopper, blade master, mithridatism, and coup de grass for phases 1 and 2

[@momkeymoney]

Then I switched to a lvl 8 minty toenail schimitar for the 3rd phase

[@momkeymoney]

I would recommend bulky fire ant helm, sleek termite chest plate and sleek ladybug leg guards

[@meribarecentes6255]

It has 90% poison resist and venom immunity

[@manloloyojosh1458]

What you guys need is the mutation Power of Friendship where it summons 6-20 spiders plus combine it with the Mant.

[@larsnicholas6703]

How do you get that?

[@DaBlur2816]

Need to use the reliable friend mutation.

[@calebgresch9604]

The Mant mutation would be very helpful.

[@aydenharrington2498]

9:45 “ this can’t be too hard right” final words of a young fool

[@Everything-cw9zw]

I suggest using the mantle trinket with the apex predator along with your fresh weapon to kill it easily

[@Itzsploon]

Venom build helped me beat my first infected broodmother. So, you will need Level 9 sleek mask of yhe mother demon, termite chestplate, and widow shoes. Weapons you will need Level 9 widow dagger (might or mint for more damage) and fire ant shield. Mutations are assassin, parry master, coup le grass, Trapper peep.r, and corporate kickback. Corporate kickback is most helpful because when you block, sometimes it will heal when you attack, so don't use a club. Also accessible is thors pendent.

[@willreidemeister]

For the crossbow, wait for the rough reload debuff to disappear before you fire your next arrow

[@supervisedchaos]

Explosives heal the infected broodmother also she gives debuffs everytime she screams or you take damage from explosives

[@alephnole7009]

If you have 4 players all with maxed out thief skill, it should take 6-9 kills to drop the boss trinket. It's power is to make all other summons explode. So that's Mom Gene's spiders. MANT. Wasps.

[@Iskip-ek4mw]

You should use rather mutation that makes you revive faster. At level 3 you get picked up in like 3 seconds.

[@mattbriddell9246]

"I thought this was gonna be hard!" IBM: "And I took that PERSONALLY"

[@bizaremrrex3672]

You should use the mint arrows to do more damage and if you peep her you can see her weakness

[@michaellewis1705]

If there is a hole there is a goll. Also use the fungle charm to make this fight a lot easier. The game doesn’t tell you this but spicy safety gives explosive resistance.

[@TheGamingGuyYT]

Dont let her bite you since it gives basically permanent less healing and less defense that stacks since you got to like 30x of that debuff i reckon the healbasa wouldve only restored a couple hp

[@mikaelrodriguez7415]

You know you can just make a strong crossbow and level it up to kill those mosquitoes

[@yunmeilin3026]

13:17 Pov: it's May 13, you're a bokoblin and link just threw a smoke shroom.

[@BigShot304-rg7jo]

My best chance was a Rusty Spear with fresh damage and about 50 beefy smoothies it took my 3 hours to finally beat it, it’s painful

[@abelmoffitt2764]

You should use the fist build but NO EXPLOSIVE PUNCHES as it’s immune to explosions,(or at least resistant) use Lil Fist, 3 weapon mutations and corporate kickback, use the fire ant shield and armor too

[@loicdegrauwe2010]

this looks so hard but you have inspired me to play grounded again

[@slyfox924]

There's a trinket that you can get from her but you need rascal roge or the gum trinkets wich you need boom arrows, rascals roge you need small statues that are found in the main labs the one is a aphid on a table,the next is over in haze with is a the black thing with the long snoze and the last one I can Rember is a koi statue some where along the wall in the water of the pond lab with the diving bell spider,but there are seven statues.

[@CorpseVr-hm9un]

Use the morning star cos it's weak to salt and try salt arrows with it and ladybug armour maxed out heals you lots during the battle

[@MinkerHIM]

When they say “ this video gonna end quickly”. Little did they know😅

[@GreenMask-XRGM-27]

10:52 NOPE!! It was resurrected!

[@proximityesports5248]

Have yet to see someone beat the infected brood mother while not using custom settings, kinda sad at this point especially with two people

Maybe with the help of the new broodmother armor?

[@trenten179]

you also have to remember with the new update, the crossbows have a recharge time to get full damage out of them, if you want max damage out of a crossbow, wait just a second more after it reloads

[@vigodelafuente9183]

blitz more like ritz

[@cartertheiii7103]

Hey blitz! Great video here. a couple of tips, you don't need mithraditism, she does venom damage and not poison, so you can get an extra mutation in there. Second tip, you're shooting the crossbow too fast. There's a new system called "rough reload" which will make crossbow spamming very ineffective. You'll see a little dial pop up in the bottom left when you shoot. Wait for it to go away before you shoot, you'll do more damage. Final tip, explosions HEAL her. Also, you should have peeped her to see weaknesses hahaha

[@lmoreppin]

@Blitz everytime you missed her scream attack as a block on phase two and three she was putting a heal and damage debuff on u and at the end you had 31 of each so your smoothies become basically useless if u can’t block that attack

If something like that can cheat death 2 time's then the only way to truly defeat it is to DESTROY IT'S SOUL! Or just upgrade your gear and use it's weaknesses.

So guys how many rounds will they have to beat this Boss? My bet is around 5 times.

About Three Phases

Im pretty sure methridatism is useless on this boss. You want fresh weapons it even has bleed resistance. I think maybe someone to face tank while someone shoots it. With either the fresh staff or fresh arrows. Idk i think just a testing episode is in order.

[@WaggishInk589]

there is a think that the spider gives you which makes you not be able to heal and you can try and steal the items from her and then fight her when you have her gear

[@Doom_State]

GEAR SUGGEST SUGGESTION Please acknowledge this comment you seriously need full fire ant armor a fresh toenail scimitar and a fire ant shield for mutations the only ones you really need are blademaster corporate kickback and spicy safety that’s all you really need to fight her at great performance PLEASE GET THOSE BEFORE TRYING AGAIN I have beaten her 5 times in a row with this combo and it works great you don’t really need smoothies or meals but you chose correct on those if you feel like you need them
