Nice. This solution deserves more positive votes, it trumps my link to a written version.

Very professional guide, nicely done. Quick question: I have completed 1 playthrough and snagged 323 grubs. I want to go back again however the counter still says 323. Is there a way to reset the counter so I can accurately keep track?

@MugenKariro: Make sure you start a new game rather than loading a checkpoint. Should reset the counter.

Those were some good videos. Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for putting the effort into making these! My only criticism is that since you have the counter on the bottom left, I felt as though it was unnecessary for you to keep pausing to check the total. But other than that, keep making guides dude, you rock!

I found this link which walks you through all 333. I would have gone insane if I didn't have this:

I'm glad the author mentioned turning on closed captioning in the audio menu (as opposed to subtitles). It made it much easier for me when I tried it!

haha I thought the same... I'm sure there's some great youtube guides out there also, I just found this guide so easy to cruise through.
Glad some other people have found it helpful too... this achievement is a pain to get, but really easy and fun when you have a good guide.

I've tried this 3 times without a guide, I got 329, 327, and 322. I'll try again soon using this guide and see if I can get it.

It isn't too hard even without a guide. Just try to be very careful and check roofs of every room and holes.

Add my thanks to the author and poster of this guide. It's faultless, highlights the points of no return and the difficult to spot, and makes getting this achievement pretty starightforward. Note the comments and read the guide as you go along and you cannot go wrong ;-)

On my first playthrough, despite being very careful, observant and thorough, I somehow ended up with only 331 - just 2 short. I used the linked guide and started again. Had it done in no time. I still don't know which two I missed first time round. Thanks!

I followed the game walkthrough, but ignored the suggestion to take the gnome on the first run-through, but in doing so was less careful with the grubs, pretty sure when following this guide the five or so I missed stood out (on the ceilings, in the cabinet near the start.)

There are 333 grubs in episode 2 chapters 1 and 2. They make a buzzing sound when you're near so explore to find them all. Be careful before entering an area you can't get back from, like jumping down off a cliff. I recommend making a manual save before entering the grub tunnels and maintaining that until you get this achievement. If you miss a grub you can reload and try again. You might also make a separate manual save after completing each section with the correct amount of grubs as listed below.

* 93 when you get to the part with the vortigaunt saving Alyx
* 142 when you get to the elevator in the mines
* 226 when you get to the elevator and the thumper in a large open room
* 263 when you get to the acid-lion guard when he first can kill you
* 332 when you get back to the area where the vortigaunts are saving Alyx
* 333 after the vortigaunts save Alyx and begin to walk out; this one is tricky as after you go down the long tunnel and enter an area that looks like the mines, turn around to find the last grub behind you

Do you have to get all the grubs on one playthrough?
I have 306 and I just started chapter 3, if I reload the chapters from the main menu and kill the ones I missed, will I get the achievement?

Yes, it has to be in one playthrough.

Thank you, I found the count to be most helpful when choosing whether or not to save. Also, I'm fairly certain, the antlion grubs are only found in the last chapter (Chapter 2).

Is there any way to reset your counter, on a new playthrough it still has your high score. On a casual playthrough I snagged 323 grubs but it makes it harder to keep track.

@MugenKairo: mine reset once I started the level from the beginning again. I actually started from the beginning of the episode and played all the way through to this part, so maybe that's the trick in getting it to reset the counter.

Just find all these little guys and shoot or smash them. There is about 333 of these guys so look in every nook or cranny or lockers. They make a buzzing noise if there is one near by. There are 93 Antlion Grubs in Chapter 1 and 240 Antlion Grubs in Chapter 2. We aren't going to list them all but here are what totals you should have.

-When you get to the Vortigaunt saving Alyx I had 93 grubs

-When you get to the weighted elevator I had 142 grubs

-When you get to the elevator with the Thumper I had 226 grubs

-When you get to the Acid-Lion guard (where the guard is first able to kill you) I had 263

The last grub is after the vortigaunts heal alyx.
