Grappling Hook

The Grappling Hook is an item created using a Hook and three Iron Chains. When used, the Grappling Hook will extend, latching onto anything it can reach; if it goes too far, it will retract. The player will be pulled onto the wall and stuck there until they jump or use the Grappling hook on another block, allowing for easier placement of torches.

The Grappling Hook is currently used in the crafting recipe for the Ivy Whip, an upgraded version of the Grappling Hook.

Tips and Tricks

 * If you fire it straight down when falling it will pull you to the ground with no fall damage, very useful for getting to the bottom of chasms.
 * You can use the Grappling Hook and Ivy Whip to gain a little speed boost every time you launch it from the air. This is done by shooting the floor at around about a 45 degrees angle this can be done a little higher or lower as well but it works by pressing the jump button before you hit the area the hook is giving you a small speed boost forward as if you have the Hermes Boots on. This can also be used to start up the Hermes Boots to get the running speed quicker.
 * Firing the Grappling Hook ahead of you on the ground and pressing the jump key before reaching the hook point will propel you similarly without jumping. If performed in quick succession on a flat surface, such as a long underground tunnel, this method of travel is faster than the Hermes Boots.


 * You can use the grappling hook to move through areas normally too small for a player to pass through.


 * If the grappling hook is shot at a closed Door, the player will be able to get to max speed instantly by opening the door while grappled to it. This can be used to leave your house with super speed, or with a Cobalt Shield to avoid recieving too much damage when you leave your house in a Blood Moon event or a Goblin Army event where there are a lot of enemies in your way.
