Although it can be dangerous to venture into unknown lands, it is the only way to make progress in a survival game like Enshrouded. However, there is only so much players can do staying on the ground, and having additional exploration tools can make their lives much easier when navigating the large open spaces in Embervale.

A key tool that will become invaluable when crossing large gaps in the game is the Grappling Hook, which allows players to leap across gaps and reach otherwise unreachable places. For those needing some help to get their hands on this handy tool, here is all the information needed on how to craft the Grappling Hook in Enshrouded.

Why Valheim Fans Should Check Out Enshrouded

Fans of Valheim should check out Enshrouded, which mixes some of the title's crafting and open-world elements with those of other fan-favorite titles.

Crafting the Grappling Hook in Enshrouded

Before having grand plans for this new tool, players will have to establish their initial starting base and gather the necessary resources. Once you are familiar with the process of gathering wood, twigs, stone, and more, the next step will be to create a Workbench. It will require three Strings and eight Wood Logs. One String is created from three Plant Fibers, which can be obtained from bushes, while Wood Logs can be grabbed by chopping down trees using an axe.

Once that is placed down at the base, approach it and check out the crafting menu. It is here where players will find the recipe for the Grappling Hook. Players will have to gather four Metal Scraps, craft seven Strings, and have 10 Shroud Spores to craft the tool. While Strings are relatively easy to get, the other two materials will need to be hunted down.

Thankfully, there is a location not far from the starting area. Cross the lands below the Braelyn Bridge and get to the other side, where players will encounter enemies that are clad in metal armor. Defeating them will always yield Shroud Spores, and some of them will drop Metal Scraps. Gather the required number and get back to the Workbench, where the Grappling Hook can be crafted.

Using the Grappling Hook in Enshrouded

Now that you have the tool, go into your Character screen and equip it. The Grappling Tool can only be used in specific situations, with the first time likely to be at Braelyn Bridge. Upon approaching an anchor point that can be grappled, an on-screen prompt will appear, so press E to attach yourself to that anchor point and swing across.

For larger gaps, time your jump well so that you can reach whichever platform is ahead, the last thing you need is to land right in the fog. It is also important to keep your stamina high, otherwise, you will not be able to use the Grappling Hook when the situation calls for it.
