Ivy Whip

The Ivy Whip is an upgraded form of the 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.

With the 1.1 update, a new hook has been introduced, the Dual Hook. Despite the fact that this tool is seen as belonging to a higher tier, some players may still favor the ability to connect to three surfaces at once, as well as not having to unlink to their connected surface before casting another 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 the Ivy Whip is crafted with only three vines, a fourth will appear if you are connected with the other three.


 * You can fire your Ivy Whip, then throw it away and you will still be attached to the wall.
 * If you attach one vine to the middle of a closed door and open it, you will be flung forward.


 * Grapple_Block.jpg As an added perk, by firing the Ivy Whip at the ground while falling, fall damage can be negated.

Update Info
1.0.6 - You can no-longer fire multiple vines at a time, only one can be fired until you attach to a block.
