How to enter the Network Center in Grounded 2

The Network Center is one area that is harder to access in Grounded 2, but it can be well worth it.

The Network Center, as hinted in the name, is part of the Networking story quest. To complete the quest, you’ll have to gain access to the center, which also has an extra optical disk for you. Let’s find out how you can gain access to the Network Center.

How do you gain access to the Network Center in Grounded 2?

The Network Center can be accessed from the Statue. Two entrances lead you to the base. Your choice doesn’t matter; both will lead you to the Cement Tube. Keep heading down the path leading to the center, and turn to find the locked door.

This door will be locked, and there’s no way to enter. Instead, chomp the dead roots on the left of the door with your buggy, follow the corridor, and you’ll reach the Rock Maze. After reaching the maze, turn left and follow the path that takes you north.

Once the path ends, you’ll reach a large area with a green hose and red ball (your cue that you’re on the right track). Go south from the green hose until you find Captain Nitro. Defeat the boss to reach another set of dead roots that will lead you back to the Network Center.

Keep chomping on the roots, and you’ll come across a door. You’re not supposed to go through the door. Instead, you’ll find a branch that goes down. Follow it until you find a red ribbon. You’ll encounter enemies along the way, so stay frosty.

The red ribbon will lead you to Lieutenant Blade, with whom I struggled a bit. Once defeated, you can keep following the ribbon until you reach the bush’s branches. From there, keep jumping and moving upwards. You’ll again find a few enemies before coming across a maple leaf. Use this leaf as a springboard to jump onto the statue.

You’ll find a white fuse box on the statue. Jump on the fuse to reach the statue’s center, where you can use a ladder to get into the Network Center.
