How to get the Basic Grappling Hook in Enshrouded
To craft the basic Grappling Hook, you’ll first need to create a Workbench. Begin by gathering resources to craft a Flame Altar, which requires five Stone. Next, craft the Workbench using three String and eight Wood Logs. String can be made from three Plant Fibers each, meaning you’ll need 21 Plant Fibers in total for the seven Strings required later. You can get Wood Logs easily by cutting down trees.

Once the Workbench is placed, gather the materials for the Grappling Hook. You’ll need four Metal Scraps, seven Strings, and 10 Shroud Spores. Metal Scraps can be scavenged from abandoned towns and villages, often found among debris. Shroud Spores, on the other hand, are dropped by enemies you find in Shroud-affected areas. Once you collect the Spores for the first time, the recipe will unlock on your Workbench.
With these materials in hand, interact with the Workbench, navigate to the Survival section, and select the Grappling Hook recipe. Once done, equip the Grappling Hook in the designated slot to enable its use.

Defeating the boss rewards you with the recipe for the Improved Grappling Hook.
How to craft the Improved Grappling Hook in Enshrouded
After acquiring the recipe, return to the Carpenter at your base to unlock the crafting menu for the Improved Grappling Hook in Enshrouded. The materials required for crafting include one Shroud Core, two Shroud Liquid, three Shroud Spores, and one Grappling Hook.

Using the Grappling Hook is straightforward. First, locate grapple points in the environment. These points will display an interaction prompt when you’re within range. There are two types of grapple points: Pull Anchors, which pull you directly to the point, and Swing Anchors, which allow you to swing across gaps or obstacles.
To activate the Grappling Hook in Enshrouded, press the interact button (E or Y by default) when near a grapple point.
