Guys, I've come across a chasm in the Dyrsford Ruins and the wonderful artwork description mentions that my grappling hook and rope could be used to get across; however I have no idea how to use the grapple and hook, it won't go into any of the quick slots so how do I actually use the item?

It is interesting in that the item description it mentions that the limits to how you employ tools are your imagination which filled me with hope; however, I am really stuck here, any advice would be great.

 

Many thanks in advance.

 

 

 

No matter how many times cats fight, there's always plenty of kittens.

When you reach the chasm, press down on the tab bar. It should highlight an a object. When you click on it, a scripted interaction will occur where one of the available options is to use the grappling hook.

Its strange, I clicked on the blue highlighted object and got the description as I mentioned above (wonderful artwork btw) but all I got was the description itself and no options to do anything. 

I made sure the grappling hook and rope was in my inventory so it is a mystery :-/

Might be a bug then. Is the grappling hook still in your inventory?

yes, in fact I have two. Perhaps I should load an earlier save game or even leave the Ruins and return?

 I have had the same problem. Sometimes I can use the hook other times I can't. Also, sometimes doors open, sometimes they don't.

 

 I think I had better luck going in through the wilderness entrance instead of through the tower. At least, there are fewer things to go wrong that way.

The rope+grappling hook that you find in the dungeons works, the grappling hook from the shop doesnt. Maybee thats the problem.

I had two grappling hooks in my inventory, the one I bought in the shop and the one I found in the crate in the river in the village. One of them worked for me, no idea which.

Ran into same problem, had two as well, both came from the ruins didn't buy any of them.  Doesn't matter long term as there are alternate routes around but it is annoying.

Same here. Clearly a quest bug.

I have a project. It's a tabletop RPG. It's free. It's a work in progress. Find it here: www.brikoleur.com
