'''Hooks''' are a class of [[tool]]s that aid the player in traversing terrain. When used, a chain is fired that latches a surface and hoists the player towards it. A Hook becomes an essential tool, as it offers significant freedom from terrain height restrictions, and will often be the first major mobility aid a player acquires. Hooks are acquired in various ways depending on their type (see table below).

The Grapple hotkey (''PC'': '''E''' • ''Xbox 360'': '''LT''' • ''PS3 / PS4'': '''L1''') activates the first Hook in the player's inventory (reading it from left→right, top→bottom), without requiring that the Hook be in the player's [[Inventory#Hotbar_.2810_slots.29|hotbar]]. On the [[mobile version|mobile version]], dragging quickly from the player outwards casts the Hook in the drag direction.

Several higher-tier Hooks, like the Ivy Whip, allow the player to grapple multiple surfaces simultaneously. If the character grapples one surface, then fires the Hook a second time, another chain extends from the player without dislodging the first. Upon grappling a second surface, the player will be suspended in midair at a point midway between the two surfaces. This allows players more freedom during construction, or for navigating hazardous areas, such as those above [[lava]].

'''Ancient Doom''' is one of the [[Lunatic Cultist]]'s attacks and will only appear when the boss is at relatively low health (<50%). A short time after creation or upon death, the Ancient Doom will burst and send slow-moving projectiles in all four cardinal directions. These projectiles pierce, cannot be destroyed by weapons, and do high damage upon hitting a target. Due to the large amount of Ancient Dooms created by the boss whenever the attack is used, this is a very dangerous attack and care should be taken when avoiding them.
Hooks vary in their range, [[velocity]], number of deployable hooks, and number of hooks that can remain latched simultaneously.
 
 
* All crafted Hooks are crafted at the [[Iron Anvil]] or [[Lead Anvil]].
 
* Single Hooks dislodge immediately when firing again while already latched to a surface.
 
* Multi-Hooks without simultaneous latching (Fish Hook, Dual Hook) can fire a second chain, but will dislodge the first chain when the second latches a surface.
 
* A Multi-Hook can be fired again only after the previous chain latched a surface or fully retracted. The Dual Hook and Web Slinger are exceptions, and can be fired very rapidly &mdash; nearly as fast as the player can hit the button.

== Notes ==
 
[[File:Glowing Hooks comparison.png|thumb|400px|The glow provided by certain Hooks: Dual Hook blue end (top), Dual Hook red end (middle), and Christmas Hook (bottom). No light sources other than the Hooks are present in this shot.]]
 
[[File:Vortex Hooks.PNG|thumb|400px|As shown is this image here, each hook on the Lunar Hook shines its respective color. Solar (top) shines orange/red, Nebula (right) shines purple, Vortex (bottom) shines green, and Stardust (left) shines blue.]]
 
[[File:Gravityhook.gif|frame|right|The Gravity Hook is unlike any other hook allowing the user to rotate around the grappling point.]]
 
 
* Grappling a [[platform]] with only one hook will pull the player ''inside'' the platform, meaning that the player will always hit that platform with subsequent grapples. You must jump to dislodge the hook, and aim at other blocks.
 
* Hooks reset a character's flight time when [[Rocket Boots]] or [[Wings]] are equipped, even if the Hook is dislodged before reeling the player in.
 
* All Hooks can remain clung to a surface continuously for 10 minutes (10 hours in-game [[time]]) before they automatically disengage.
 
* Players can remove Hooks from their [[Inventory]] while clung to a surface and remain there until they jump, use another Hook, or automatically disengage, even though the Hook is no longer in their Inventory.
 
* When used via the [[Inventory#Hotbar_.2810_slots.29|hotbar]], Multi-Hooks can be re-fired more rapidly, requiring only that the previous chain has fully extended first.
 
*{{mobile icon}} There is an in-game short tutorial when you buy the grappling hook
 
* Attempting to use a grappling hook on a slope will often cause the player to grapple the block they're standing on, as they are technically inside the block.
 
 
== Tips ==
 
* When [[sprinting accessories]] are equipped, the burst of speed provided by a Hook upon latching a surface can be used to accelerate a player to sprinting speed instantly.
 
* The [[Ice Rod]] can provide blocks to grapple while flying with [[Wings]], repeatedly resetting flight time in midair.
 
* Characters that have hooked a block are immune to gravity and [[knockback]]. Grappling the ground in dangerous locations, such as near [[lava]], can ensure you don't fall in when taking damage from an enemy.
 
* Players can also exploit immunity to gravity by "grappling the ground" to prevent [[fall damage]].
 
* Simultaneous-latch multi-hooks are more useful for intricate maneuvers. When fast travel is preferred, individually-latching multi-hooks allow faster transit, since they immediately sling the player across gaps, rather than automatically suspending them midway first.
 
* Hooks that can be fired in rapid succession (Dual Hook, Web Slinger) provide more security during falls: In case the first firing fails to latch a surface, another chain can be fired immediately to try again.
 
* If a player grapples onto the middle of a [[door]], and opens it while still grappled, the player will fly out with immense speed in the direction that he or she grapples onto the door with. The same effect can be achieved with [[Actuators]]. When there are [[Frozen Slime Block]]s on the other side of the door, this speed will be kept and can be used for very rapid transportation in a skybridge etc.
 
* The Candy Cane Hook has the same sell value as the [[Hardmode]] hooks, although it can be obtained [[Pre-Hardmode]]. It is also one of the few items with Lime rarity that can be obtained [[Pre-Hardmode]].
 
 
== Trivia ==
 
* The Fish Hook is a play on words, using the term for the real-life fishing tool for a grappling hook with the same appearance.
 
* The tooltip for the Grappling Hook, "Get over here!", is a reference to Scorpion's catch phrase in ''[[wikipedia:Mortal Kombat|Mortal Kombat]]''.
