In fact, it&#8217;s where I finally unlocked tier three gear. Well, would have. The mistake I made was fully exploring the Statue zone, maxing out both my backpack and my trusty ant&#8217;s saddlebags, and then continuing with the Networking quest under the assumption that I was nearly at the quest&#8217;s end anyhow.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:2560px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"5Vzh8aWNH3ZKVu2JmgrFje\" name=\"grounded 2 networking reach network centre\" alt=\"Grounded 2 Networking PSA: A character walking along a branch high up in a hedge at night.\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/dont-repeat-my-mistakes-in-grounded-2s-networking-mission-or-youll-face-an-arduous-slog-back-to-collect-your-lost-loot.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"1\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1440\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"expandable\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Obsidian Entertainment)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>From the base of the hedge, reaching the Network Centre atop the statue is quite the climb by itself, involving a few tough fights on the way, wearing down your gear and likely filling up your backpack even more. But it doesn&#8217;t stop there. In fact, it&#8217;s only just begun, really.<\/p>\n<p>Once you reach the ladder to the Network Centre, you then need to go up several floors of the facility, involving fighting, fighting, and more fighting, alongside sneaking through vents and solving a &#8220;puzzle&#8221; (if you can call it that). It takes a good hour or two before you&#8217;ve reached the end goal: a boss.<\/p>\n<div class=\"inlinegallery carousel-layout\">\n<div class=\"inlinegallery-wrap\" style=\"display:flex; flex-flow:row nowrap;\">\n<div class=\"inlinegallery-item\" style=\"flex: 0 0 auto;\"><span class=\"slidecount\">Image 1 of 2<\/span><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:2560px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"2tFguwtpSbSgY8NHaW5yre\" name=\"grounded 2 networking locked door computer\" alt=\"Grounded 2 Networking PSA: A character looking at a computer terminal with various colourful buttons and symbols.\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/dont-repeat-my-mistakes-in-grounded-2s-networking-mission-or-youll-face-an-arduous-slog-back-to-collect-your-lost-loot-1.jpg\" mos=\"\" link=\"\" align=\"\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1440\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\"\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Obsidian Entertainment)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"inlinegallery-item\" style=\"flex: 0 0 auto;\"><span class=\"slidecount\">Image 2 of 2<\/span><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:2560px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"4FcVc8YKzBxMS8ymAzFGge\" name=\"grounded 2 networking fixing wires\" alt=\"Grounded 2 Networking PSA: A character repairing a broken wire in an enclosed space.\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/dont-repeat-my-mistakes-in-grounded-2s-networking-mission-or-youll-face-an-arduous-slog-back-to-collect-your-lost-loot-2.jpg\" mos=\"\" link=\"\" align=\"\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1440\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\"\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Obsidian Entertainment)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>I won&#8217;t spoil the fight, but it&#8217;s quite demanding compared to other encounters, especially because you need sizzling resistance, which you won&#8217;t know about until it&#8217;s too late.<\/p>\n<p>The issue I ran into, and you likely will too, is that my inventory was full of useful items for my overall progression, but not in the heat of battle. My gear had all broken and needed repairing, but I didn&#8217;t have the basics to hand, meaning by the time I had reached the boss, I was in no state to fight them, let alone come out on top.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s not even the worst of it. Since there&#8217;s no fast-travelling in Grounded 2, I had two equally bad options ahead of me: spend a good hour or so hauling my ass all the way back down to the gardens and back home, or sacrifice my treasures and intentionally die to the boss to respawn at the onboarding facility next to my base.<\/p>\n<p>I chose option two so I could switch off the game for the night, but now I&#8217;ve got the daunting task of hiking back to the Statue gardens, regathering the rare items I lost in my stranded backpack atop the Network Centre, and then fighting the boss for real.<\/p>\n<p>Once you reach this quest, I recommend you do the smart thing and make two trips. Explore Statue, find all the new items and the <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/survival-crafting\/grounded-2-milk-molar-locations\/\" target=\"_blank\">Milk Molar locations<\/a>, then return home and invest in your gear.
