(Picture: Obsidian Entertainment, screenshot: Alexandra Hobbs)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>There are actually two ways to craft <strong>Brittle Whetstones<\/strong> in Grounded. One makes use of a finite resource, while the other is locked behind one of the labs. The first method is one you&#8217;ll be using during the early game, and you&#8217;ll need the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Brittle Quartzite Shard x1<\/li>\n<li>Workbench<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The second way to get Brittle Whetstones involves collecting the super chip from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/grounded\/where-is-the-black-ant-lab\">Black Ant Lab<\/a>. This lab will pose a fair amount of challenge if you&#8217;re not well equipped, so you&#8217;ll likely only explore this lab after you&#8217;ve made some significant progress through the game.<\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve collected this super chip, head back to BURG.L and you&#8217;ll be able to collect the recipe for Brittle Whetstone &mdash; <strong>Advanced Smithing: Brittle Upgrades<\/strong>. This recipe only requires the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sap x1<\/li>\n<li>Larva Spike x1<\/li>\n<li>Workbench<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Both Larva Spikes and Sap are readily available resources, so you&#8217;ll be able to craft all the Brittle Plating you could possible need with this recipe. The trouble is that you&#8217;ll need to complete the Black Ant Hill Lab and defeat its bosses to get the chip. If you&#8217;ve just completed the Hedge Lab, we suggest that your next port of call should be the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/grounded\/next-lab-after-hedge\">Pond Lab<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A decent weapon will help keep you safe in Grounded, and having a rotation of equipment will serve you even better against he variety of&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12874,"featured_media":62869,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"tags":[],"class_list":["post-62868","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-grounded","genre-survival","content_type-guide-tutorial"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.9 -
