Playing Grounded feels refreshing and unique. With its limited suburban backyard setting, this game creates a new world with multiple biomes and distinct landmarks – all without ever leaving home. That being said, it is also a survival game- before players can explore or make discoveries, they need to be able to survive. Starting out, players should find themselves some weapons and shelter quick.
In Grounded, you’ll need to use all your skill and wit against the many enemies that are trying to kill or eat you. One of the great weapons in this uneven fight is the bow and arrow. You’re given it near the beginning of the game, but it takes 10 thistles needles to make them.

How to Get Thistle Needles?
Archers rely on ranged weapons when battling most ground enemies. You will need arrows to combat larger enemies such as spiders, ladybugs, or anything similar in size to a mini-van. This weapon can be tricky to procure, though, because it requires thistle needles which are scarce – without them, crafting arrows becomes impossible for those who do not know where to look for them.
There are many places in the yard where you will find Thistle Needles. The best place to find them is in Spade Gulch, but they can also be found near the giant Oak Tree and south of the Mysterious Machine.
To find thistle needles, start by finding the thistle plants in Grounded. These ones are as tall as dandelions but have blue and purple flowers on top. Thistle needles come from hitting the plant repeatedly, steadily stacking up in your inventory. Whenever you want to look for them, look for a purple-tipped spiky plant anywhere in the garden, and make your way towards it. The higher your vantage point of these plants, the easier it will be to find them.
You need to equip yourself with many tools when hunting thistles. Having what you need will give you an upper hand in dealing with bugs. Be patient when taking aim and try to surprise the bigger ones if you can.
