The **Sundered Grove** is a dense, floral, jungle stage located on Petrichor V, and is a part of the fourth set of Environments in *Risk of Rain 2*.

This stage was initially a timed exclusive for Stadia, the Google game streaming platform. It was added to the PC version on November 3, 2020 (PC Patch v1.0.2.0).

## Lore

```
Rings? What for?

A triangle is much more of a beautiful design. Look, and observe: three points, in three dimensions. No redundancies. Perfectly defined. We will use triangles.

Trees? Yes, trees are beautiful. I agree. We will have many trees.
