What is AXL?
Rumored to be a Tarantula Boss
According to Obsidian's Early Access roadmap, several items related to AXL are coming in the Fall 2025 update, including AXL Recipes, AXL's Arena, and AXL: Park Boss.
The Grounded 2 community theorizes that AXL could be a Tarantula, based on a reference in the Empty Terrarium located south of the Ceremony region. On top of the Empty Terrarium is a label with “AXL” written on it and a red tarantula sticker marked “DANGER”.
Possible Location of AXL's Arena in Early Access
Located in the northwest corner of the map, you can find a large arena with spider webs and toy soldiers. It is also speculated that this could be the location where you fight the AXL Park Boss.
Though the secret boss arena appears out of bounds, it is possible to reach and even enter it. Just note that getting there is a one-way trip, and returning to the playable area is nearly impossible once you're inside.

How to Reach Secret Boss Arena
| # | Step-by-step Objectives |
|---|---|
| 1 |  Before heading out, make sure to bring a Dandelion Tuft, as you'll be jumping from a high place, and bring a Red Soldier Ant Buggy to make constructing stairs easier. When you're ready, head to the northwest part of the Pine Hill region. Find the large, smooth rock next to the giant tree and near the birdcage, where a Mega Milk Molar is located. ▶ Interactive Map |
| 2 |  Once there, look up and you should see a branch with two purple toy soldiers and one green soldier hanging on a rope. Your goal is to build stairs to reach the branch. There's plenty of Grass and Dandelions (for Weed Stems) nearby to help with construction. |
| 3 |  After building enough stairs to reach the branch, jump on it and take the left path to enter the hedge. At the dead end, jump down and use a Dandelion Tuft to glide and land safely. Note: Before jumping down, make sure to save your game, as it's impossible to return to the park once you're inside the secret boss area. |
| 4 |  Proceed forward and cross the web bridge. You can use an Orb Weaver Buggy or equip a Dual-Wield weapon and perform Dash Strikes to cross the bridge faster. |
| 5 |  Once across, you've reached the secret boss area! There's nothing to do in the arena except get stuck in spider webs and collect Pebblets on the ground, but it gives you an idea of how a possible boss fight could play out. |
