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.

To activate the Grappling Hook in Enshrouded, press the interact button (E or Y by default) when near a grapple point.
