How to Get the Grappling Hook
You’ll unlock the grappling hook during the main quest “Find a Friend,” which starts in Braer Castle—the big dungeon at the end of the game’s second act.
Steps:
Go to the Rooftop Terrace in Braer Castle.
Talk to Killashandra. She’ll ask you to find her missing companion, Rikter.
Head to Lochmuir Village, then drop down two floors and unlock a door on a lone platform using the Boathouse Key she gives you.
Cross the water outside, beat the boss, and inspect Rikter’s remains.
Go back to Killashandra. She’ll give you the grappling hook as thanks.
How to Use the Grappling Hook
Jump near a grappling point, then hold the dodge button.
You’ll shoot out the hook and swing across automatically if it connects.
Some anchors are placed on walls—hold the dodge button to scale up when you hook into those.
You’ll need to use both types of movement to finish Braer Castle and reach the final boss, so get used to the timing.
Final Blurb
The grappling hook is an essential for survival. Once you have it, you’ll see just how many places in Mandragora you weren’t really supposed to reach before. Just aim right, hold that button, and don’t look down.
