Ghost of Tsushima has a number of location which are locked off until you obtain the grappling hook in the game. The guide will show you where to get the grappling hook in Ghost of Tsushima.
Ghost of Tsushima – Where To Get The Grappling Hook
The Ghost of Tsushima grappling hook is actually unmissable as it is given to you as part of the main story. You can find the grappling hook in the Tale ‘The Iron Hook’ which takes place at the end of Act 1 and can be started in Komatsu Forge after completing all the prior Tales.
The grappling hook will be given to you at the start of the mission by Taka and it can be used to complete this mission as well as reach previously inaccessible locations.
To use the hook all you need to do is jump towards a branch or stump with a red and white ribbon taped to it. After you have jumped, hold R2 to grapple to it and either swing across a gap or climb up a mountain or cliffside.
The grappling hook can be used to access some previously inaccessible areas and collectibles in Izuhara, but the piece of gear becomes more valuable in Toyotama and Kamigata with more high hills and platforms that reach to cliffs or lower sections of a hillside, that are inaccessible by just jumping to them.
The grappling hook is just one of a number of pieces of gear that you can acquire in Ghost of Tsushima, alongside those which you can pickup from completing Tales of Tsushima and Mythic Tales.
We will have a lot more guides covering Ghost of Tsushima, including collectible location, mission walkthroughs, and the locations of other pieces of gear. So, be sure to stay tuned.
Ghost of Tsushima is available now on PS4.
