What Does Ground Dive Do?

Generally, Ground Dive allows you to reach areas you wouldn't be able to otherwise. There's often valuable resources in these small hidden areas, and occasionally chests. Because of this you'll want to make sure you have a Monstie that can Ground Dive in your party.

Ground Dive Locations

You'll find Ground Dive locations while exploring all areas of Monster Hunter Stories 2. They can be found by looking for holes in the ground, usually by a resource box that appears to be in its own, small, segmented area.
