Ivy Whip



Information
The Ivy whip is an upgraded form of the standard Grappling Hook, boasting a longer reach and three separate vines or chains. These three vines can be used for ascent, descent, positioning, or even speeding up while traveling. This allows a player to position themselves in the middle of a space, unlike a traditional grappling hook which attaches you straight to the target surface. This allows for a significant improvement in the ease with which walls can be placed. It can also be difficult to use it to climb a 2 block wide shaft.

The hooks of an Ivy whip will detach after about a minute, however, so it's important to re-place your hooks every so often when engaging in longer projects.

The Ivy Whip does not damage Monsters, but it does cut grass and vines at the point of impact, and smashes pots. Better in all than just a Grappling Hook.

Trivia

 * In the alpha version of Terraria, the Ivy Whip did damage to enemies, along with the Grappling Hook. Now neither of these items inflict damage to enemies.


 * Although a player will craft the Ivy Whip with three vines, whilst all three vines are attached, a fourth one is emitted from the player with a further left click. When this vine attaches the first deployed vine will be replaced.


 * The Ivy Whip has an approximate length of 26 blocks.


 * When falling, you can aim downwards, and launch more than three vines if rapidly firing.


 * You can fire your whip, then throw it away and you will still be attached to the wall.


 * If you fire your whip on 2 or 3 walls, one of them being on a closed door, the whip attached to the door will be removed if you open the door.


 * There is a glitch where if you attach one vine to the middle of a closed door and open it, you will be flung forward. You can face the other direction before you open the door, and thus moonwalk as you fly forward.


 * To stop yourself from being damaged after a fall, you can shoot the Ivy Whip at the ground as you fall. When the whip latches to the ground, it will pull you into the ground negating fall damage.
