To get Infused Ooze in Grounded 2, farm New Game Plus bosses. The O.G.R.E. Toe Biter Leviathan in the Abyss Monitoring Station is one shown boss source: reach the station, defeat the Leviathan, then pick up the Infused Ooze drop from the ground.
Infused Ooze is a New Game Plus boss material in Grounded 2, not an item that belongs only to the Into the Abyss update path. It can come from multiple NG+ bosses, with the O.G.R.E. Toe Biter Leviathan being one confirmed source shown deep in the Abyss. Here’s the exact route for that boss, the fight you’ll face, and what the drop gets you afterward.
Why the Abyss story comes first
Infused Ooze itself is tied to New Game Plus boss drops, not locked behind the Abyss story as a universal requirement. The Abyss story comes first only if you’re following this specific Leviathan route, because you need to push down into the Abyss until the game unlocks the Monitoring Station — a story lab sitting past the flooded corridors below the water’s surface. Until you’ve followed that questline far enough to stand inside the station, there’s no way to reach this creature, so treat story progress as the prerequisite for this boss route.
Key Right now this station fight is one shown route to the material, but Infused Ooze is a New Game Plus boss drop category rather than a shoreline node or Abyss-only pickup.
How to get Infused Ooze in Grounded 2
This route takes you from the Abyss story straight to one creature that carries Infused Ooze, then safely through the fight to the pickup.
STEP 1/8
Follow the Into the Abyss story to the Monitoring Station
Push the questline down into the Abyss until the game unlocks the Monitoring Station, the story lab that gates this Leviathan route.
STEP 2/8
Let the lab point you to the creature
Inside the station the map flags exactly where your target waits, so head down through the flooded corridors toward it.
STEP 3/8
Bring your strongest gear
The O.G.R.E. Toe Biter Leviathan is one of the toughest enemies in the game, so come in with your best weapon and armor before you engage.
STEP 4/8
Lure the Leviathan into the corner
Bait it into a narrow corner of the cave where it can’t reach you — it sometimes wedges itself in there, which makes the kill easier.
STEP 5/8
Attack from above and retreat
Jump above it and strike, then fall back to the corner the moment it winds up to attack, and repeat instead of trading blows head-on.
STEP 6/8
Defeat it and watch the drop
Once it dies it drops the loot on the ground right in front of you, Infused Ooze included.
STEP 7/8
Make inventory space before looting
Clear or drop spare items first — a full pack means the Ooze stays on the ground instead of going straight to you.
STEP 8/8
Collect the Infused Ooze
Walk over the drop to pick up your Infused Ooze from the ground.
Lure the O.G.R.E. Toe Biter Leviathan into a cave corner and hit it from above, backing off each time it winds up — it’s the most reliable way to survive a boss whose scan shows the Rump as its weak point.

O.G.R.E. Toe Biter Leviathan scan and fight tactics
| Detail | Value |
|---|---|
| Boss | O.G.R.E. Toe Biter Leviathan |
| Location | Monitoring Station lab, The Abyss |
| Resistances | Slashing, Venom, Water |
| Weak point | Rump |
| Weaknesses | Rump weak point listed |
| Key tactic | Corner it, strike from above |
| Notable drops | Infused Ooze, Toe Biter Shell, Toe Biter Venom |
Scan the boss with your PEEP.R the moment it’s in view, because the readout is what tells you raw damage and weak-point targeting matter more than picking the “right” element here.
With three separate resistances and the Rump marked as its weak point, no weapon type or element turns this into a quick kill, so lean on your highest flat damage and aim for the Rump. What actually carries the fight is positioning: bait the Leviathan into a narrow bend of the cave where it can’t line up a clean swing, then jump above it and chip away, dropping back each time it commits to an attack. Standing in front of it isn’t realistic — the corner exists precisely because a face-to-face brawl gets you flattened.
What Infused Ooze is good for
Once the Infused Ooze is in your pack it feeds straight into gear progression — the on-screen payoff here is pushing an axe up to tier four. That’s the use the fight directly sets up, so if a stronger tool is your goal, this drop is the gate. Exact stack sizes and how often bosses hand it over aren’t pinned down yet, so plan around beating NG+ bosses rather than a guaranteed per-kill count.
Mistakes that cost you the drop
The biggest time-waster is treating Infused Ooze as an Abyss-only story pickup instead of a New Game Plus boss material — this Leviathan route is one shown source, but it isn’t the only boss source. Going toe-to-toe with the Leviathan is the other trap; plant yourself in front of it and it’ll wipe you, which is the whole reason the corner method exists. And don’t walk in with a stuffed inventory — if there’s no room when the loot lands, the Ooze stays on the ground, and it’s easy to wander off without ever grabbing it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you get Infused Ooze before reaching the Abyss story area?
Yes, if you’re farming it from other New Game Plus bosses, because Infused Ooze is not universally locked to the Abyss story. For the O.G.R.E. Toe Biter Leviathan route shown here, though, the drop only exists at the Monitoring Station deep in the Abyss, and that lab doesn’t open until you’ve progressed the Into the Abyss story to it.
Does the Leviathan have a weapon weakness?
The scan shows the Rump as its weak point, along with resistances to Slashing, Venom, and Water. That flips the usual approach: instead of relying on those resisted damage types, bring whatever hits hardest, target the Rump, and let the corner do the rest.
What should you do if Infused Ooze drops but your inventory is full?
Don’t panic — it lands on the ground right where the boss died rather than vanishing. Free up a slot by dropping some junk, then walk back over the loot to pick it up. The only real risk is leaving the arena before you grab it, so sort your bags before you move on.
