The big picture of the underglobe: understanding the appeal and risks
The Underglobe is an underground world accessed from the ground by an elevator. You can enter by collecting 4 ruby shards and placing them in the elevator. The biggest attraction of this area is the large amount of high-quality materials that are difficult to obtain on land. In particular, iron ore is the basis for building and crafting, so you should prioritize capturing it at an early stage. On the other hand, risks cannot be ignored either. The darkness obstructs your vision and you will be attacked by infinitely springing monsters, so if you lose consciousness you will be penalized by losing your items. In order to minimize the risk of death, the golden rule is to challenge with zero money. This way, you have nothing to lose and you have some mental space.
The terrain of the Undergrove is characterized by a cave structure centered around water holes. The vines hanging from the ceiling and the substitute stones scattered on the brown walls are landmarks. The treasure chest room requires a key, but the rare items inside will lead to powerful equipment later in the game. Overall, aim for 1 to 2 hours of exploration time at a time, and establishing an efficient route is the key to success.
Thorough preparation before the attack: Essential items and preparation
Optimize your inventory before venturing into the Undergrove. Make sure you have all of the following items, as missing them can be fatal.
List of essential items
| category | Item name | Quantity/Reason |
|---|---|---|
| mining tools | jackhammer or ice ax | 1 piece: Essential for efficient mining of iron ore and proxy stones |
| felling tools | ax or chainsaw | 1 bottle: For collecting large amounts of ceiling vine plants. |
| illumination | headlight | 2 or more: To prevent darkness and ensure visibility, spares are required. |
| key | old key | 20-30 pieces: Consumes a large amount to unlock the treasure chest room. |
| move tool | Glider (leaf glider recommended) | 1 piece: Used for emergency escape from heights and high-speed movement |
| vehicle | Large vehicle (including spare) | 1 or more units: Used for transporting treasure chests and large quantities of materials. |
| combat weapons | alpha hammer | 1 bottle: Ideal for wiping out monsters |
| Recovery/buff | Food (with buff) | Multiple: Used for HP recovery and status enhancement |
| special vehicle | jet ski | 1 unit: Used for high-speed collection of water route |
These items can be obtained by crafting or purchasing on the ground. In particular, equipping two headlights will dramatically improve visibility and more than double search efficiency. Please limit your preparation time to less than 30 minutes and move on to practice immediately. As a mindset, I will thoroughly “prioritize treasure chests and avoid battles.” Avoiding unnecessary risks leads to long-term success.
Main acquisition material details: value and recovery priority
The true value of under gloves lies in the rich variety of materials available. The main ones are summarized below in order of priority.
- iron ore: Occurs in large quantities. It can be easily obtained by digging into walls or the ground. It is directly connected to the industrial development of the town.
- emerald: Treasure chests are scattered in the room and on the ground. It is the highest quality for sale at a high price and as a craft material.
- proxy stone: Can be mined from white dots on brown terrain. It is popular as a decorative material in architecture.
- Ceiling vine plant (Vine type): Cutting down trees with an ax. It can be used for crafting and fuel.
- treasure chest items: Rare equipment group described below. Depending on your luck, you can obtain powerful equipment.
You can aim for over 200 iron ores and 50 emeralds in one exploration. By repeating this, the upgrade of the town will be accelerated. The trick to collecting them is to focus on digging around water holes.
Full story of treasure chest items: list of rare equipment and how to use them
Treasure chests are the centerpiece of Undergrove. If you use the old key to open it, the following rare items will appear.
| Item name | Effects/Applications | priority |
|---|---|---|
| leaf glider | Ideal for improving glide speed and emergency escape | ★★★★★ |
| candle hat | Automatic lighting, no headlights required | ★★★★☆ |
| belconium | Franklin's new invention craft material | ★★★★☆ |
| bottle of ku | Rainy weather summon items, used to improve agricultural efficiency | ★★★☆☆ |
| stone cane | Generates stone at any location and is used to assist construction. | ★★★☆☆ |
| Slingshot type weapon | Used for long-distance attacks and monster countermeasures | ★★★☆☆ |
| tele sweater | Used for instantaneous movement and speeding up exploration. | ★★★★★ |
| diving helmet | Used to strengthen water spot search | ★★★☆☆ |
These equipment are essential items from the mid-game onwards. Leaf gliders in particular revolutionize glider locomotion. Treasure chest rooms are concentrated near waterholes, so fix your route.
Complete countermeasures against appearing monsters: Weaknesses and avoidance techniques
The threats in the Underglobe are monsters. Master the features and countermeasures.
- Flowering illy roll (venomous tongue monster): Poison attacks are troublesome. You can avoid attacks by standing on leaves on the surface of the water. It is also effective to use a bat holder to guide and defeat them.
- larva: It springs up infinitely. The first priority is to destroy the nest with a jackhammer.
- pincher plant: A long range attack. Hide in the shadows or shoot them from a distance with a slingshot.
If you're not good at combat, prioritize avoidance. Escape to the sky with a glider and find safety above the waterhole. Wiping it out with an alpha hammer is also effective.
Efficient exploration without hesitation: Use professional routes and markers
The basics of preventing children from getting lost is “searching for water spots.'' Proceed clockwise from the water hole and transport the treasure chest in a large vehicle. When a treasure chest room is found, a marker will be placed (can be crafted) to speed up the next search. Organize a waterway recovery route on a jet ski.
Recommended route example:
- Descend the elevator → Go straight to the water hole → Search treasure chest room 1
- Collection of vine plants → Excavation of iron ore wall
- Surrogate stone area → Jet ski returns
With this, you can secure all the materials within an hour.
Combat avoidance techniques that put safety first: Survival tips for beginners
For those who are not good at combat:
- Mizuba Hagami resident: Monster is unreachable.
- Avoid enemy crowd direction: Move to the opposite side of the water hole
- Glider escape: secure high ground
- Frequent recovery: keep food on hand
- Zero money: Penalty will be nullified
This will significantly reduce the mortality rate. Once you feel confident, challenge yourself to battle.
Strategic use of NPC companions: Going beyond the limits of solo exploration
Let's take the NPC with us. Holding a light will expand your field of vision, and holding a weapon will support you in battle. However, their movement speed is slow and they cannot accompany gliders. The selection criteria is two reliable NPCs. The benefits are reduced combat burden and assistance in transporting materials.
Priority action order: Checklist for maximizing results in one search
- Find and unlock the treasure chest room
- We will collect large quantities of emeralds, iron, and surrogate stones.
- Collect ceiling vines and plants
- Transport rare equipment safely
- Organize jet ski recovery route
If you follow this order, you won't fail.
Applied techniques for advanced users: Optimization of material earning and multi-use
Reuse ruby shards in multiple explorations. Increase transportation efficiency with a jet ski and large vehicle combo. During multiplayer, roles are divided (one person exploring, one person carrying). New monsters may be added in updates, so always check for the latest information.
Daily material goal:
- Iron ore: 500 pieces
- Emerald: 100 pieces
- Surrogate stone: 200 pieces
If you accomplish this, the town level up will be completed.
Common mistakes and how to deal with them: Troubleshooting
- lost child: Return to the water hole
- monster enclosure: Glider escape
- lack of keys: Next time I will add 20 pieces
- poor visibility:Equipped with 2 headlights
This will solve all your problems.
Summary: Have Underglove on your side.
The Underglobe is dangerous, but with preparation and technique it can be your best source of resources. Prioritize treasure chests, avoid safety, and use NPCs and vehicles. With practice, you will find that you can truly enjoy Dinkum. Step off the elevator now and claim your wealth. Bookmark this guide and use it again and again.
