How to Get On Top of Podium

How to Get on Top of the Podium

The Podium is a location found on the border between the Grass Games and Ceremony regions of Grounded 2. Read on to learn how to get on top of the podium including a full walkthrough of the segment and info the rewards at the top.

How to Get On Top of Podium

1

To start, head over to the northeast side of the podium. You should see an index card ramp connected to the podium via a long stretch of spide web. Hop on your Orb Weaver Buggy then cross the web to reach the upper level.

Note: If you don't have the Orb Weaver Buggy unlocked, you can still reach the second level on foot. However, it will be very very slow.
2

Once you reach the second level, make your way to the back of this large "room". You're goal is to reach the pencil tucked away at the very back.
3

When you see the pencil, hop on it and make your way towards the end until you see the wooden ramp to your right.
4

Instead of going up the wooden ramp, look towards the crumpled piece of paper and the styrofoam cup. Hop on the paper then onto the cup to reach the other side of the "booklet wall" blocking your way.
5

Once you're on the cup, look towards the ramp again (you should see a spork and a notebook). Jump down onto this section of ramp and make your way towards the opposite end of the room (towards the gum).
6

When you reach the gum, turn around and you should see a thin ledge to your left. Use it to reach the hole in the distance that leads to the outside face of the podium.
7

Upon arriving at the hole, take your time and exit the hole onto the outside ledge. You'll want to go slowly so you don't overshoot and fall down the podium.
8

Once safely out of the hole, look up. You'll see that you're now on a diagonal ledge leading up. Carefully make your way up until you reach a gap of broken wood that you can use to go higher up the podium.

Note: There's a small jumping segment here where you have to hop on rusty nails. Again, take it slow so you don't accidentally hurtle over the edge.
9

As soon as you arrive at the section with the broken ledge, make your character face the wall. This should allow you to clearly see the jumps you need to make in this section. When ready, go to the ledge on the right (the one that wraps around the podium) in order to progress.

Note: The ledge opposite this will have 100 Raw Science if you're confident enough in your platforming skills.
10

After wrapping around to the southwest face of the podium, simply follow this horizontal ledge until you see another hole in the wall to your left. Hop in to proceed.
11

Once inside the hole, look towards the gap beneath the opaque water bottle and the box of hot chachas. Crouch low and pass through this gap to reach the other side of the room.
12

Upon emerging from the gap, hop on top of the makeshift ramp formed by hot chachas boxes and go up until you see a black bowl, a plastic knife, and a microphone.
13

Next, jump down into the bowl before using the plastic knife to reach the head of the microphone.

Note: The bowl will have 2 Spicy Candy that you can farm for Spicy Shards.
14

Once on the mic, simply follow it up to its cord. Go up this makeshift spiral ramp (mic cord) to reach the top of the podium.
15

O.R.C. Enemies will be waiting for you at the top. Defeat the 2 O.R.C. Blue Butterfiles and the 2 O.R.C. Weevils to access the rewards at the top of the podium.
