Discover how to locate and access the Haze Lab in Grounded. Learn what gear you need, how to craft it, and how to open the lab's entrance.
Alright, so you're trying to find the Haze Lab in Grounded, huh? It's a pretty important spot, but you can't just waltz in. First things first, you're gonna need to head southwest on the map, deep into the Haze area. And listen, this isn't a casual stroll – the enemies in there are no joke, so make sure your armor and gear are beefed up a bit before you go. The most crucial item you'll need is a Gas Mask. Without it, you're basically just going to suffocate in the Haze.
- 1Gear Up: The Gas Mask
You absolutely cannot enter the Haze without a Gas Mask. To craft one, you'll need:- Stinkbug Part x1
- 2Gnat Fuzz x4
- 3Weevil Nose x1
- 4Crude Rope x2
- 5Journey to the Haze
Once you've got your Gas Mask, make your way towards the Haze. If you're coming from the Mysterious Machine, head through the grasslands. You'll know you're close when you see the big rock and rake – that's your landmark for the Haze entrance. - 6Navigating the Haze
As you push deeper into the Haze, aiming for the center of the area (that's where the lab is!), you'll start running into a lot of infected gnats and weevils. Just keep pushing forward. - 7Breaching the Lab Door
You'll eventually find the Haze Lab door, but surprise! It's jammed shut. To get in, you'll need an explosive. Your options are a Bratburst or a Splatburst. - 8Crafting an Explosive (Bratburst)
The Bratburst is generally easier to make. You'll need:- Fungal Growth x2
- 9Red Ant Egg x1
- 10Dry Grass Chunk x4
Alternative Entrance: Just so you know, there's another way in. If you head further west from the main door, you'll find an underwater tunnel. It's way tougher to get through because of all the aquatic enemies, and you'll need a Tier II dagger (like the Spider Fang Dagger or Bone Dagger) to cut through the plants blocking the path. It avoids the need for explosives, but honestly, it's probably more trouble than it's worth for most players.
- Always make sure you have your Gas Mask equipped before entering the Haze. It's a one-way ticket to respawn if you don't.
- Don't underestimate the enemies in the Haze. They hit hard and can swarm you quickly.
- If you're struggling to find the materials for the Gas Mask or explosives, don't hesitate to consult our detailed guides for those items.
