The **Grappling Hook** is an inventory item in *Baldi's Basics Plus*.

## Description

The Grappling Hook is a 3D model of a white hook and a gray handle attached with a black string. There is a number in parentheses near the name of the item to indicate the number of times the player can use it.

## Usage

### General

The Grappling Hook, upon used, will swiftly attach to whatever solid surface the player aims at, then pull the player towards that target at a very high speed. If it hits a surface, then it has a crack and the crack will disappear after the player reaches the target completely. The more the player throws hooks at once in the same direction, the faster they will be pulled to the surface where the hooks get attached to. If the player throws the hooks in different directions, the player will have their movement restricted until at least 1 of the hooks snap. The more different the directions, the more restricted their movement will be.

   However, if It's a Bully is in their sight after he spawns, he will block it and steal an item when they reach him.

The Grappling Hook can be used to escape from characters and/or skip their challenges, especially Playtime's jump rope minigame. However, if the player is stuck in something for a few seconds or teleported by other characters after the Grappling Hook hits a surface, it will be destroyed with a snapping sound.

Using this item to hit the trunk of a tree that bears An Apple for Baldi will cause the apple to fall to the ground and be able to pick up. One of the classroom chalkboards has visual instructions for how to obtain An Apple for Baldi using a Grappling Hook.

While the Big Ol' Boots is activated, the player will not be pulled until the effect of the Boots expires.

### Challenges

* In the Grapple Challenge, the player has a Grappling Hook item in the first slot and it can be used infinitely to move around. It's a Bully will not steal this item from their inventory, but he will not let the player pass if they only have this item.

## Locations

### General

A Grappling Hook can rarely be found in faculty rooms connected to large special rooms or even normal rooms by an even rarer chance, the Principal's office during the party event, in the mystery room, and as one of the possible rewards when successfully completing a field trip. It is also available in Johnny's Store and can be purchased with 200 You Thought Points.

### Endless Mode - Medium

A Grappling Hook can be found in a classroom along with a Quarter.

## Other appearances

* In *Baldi's Basics Full Game Early Demo*, the Grappling Hook is located in the faculty room with the deactivated 1st Prize. When using it on It's a Bully, it will stop at the tile right in front of his location.
* In *Baldi's Basics Classic Remastered*, it can be obtained only in Debug Mode, it can also be seen in the promotion for *Baldi's Basics Plus*.

## Trivia

### *Baldi's Basics Plus*

* When the Grappling Hook snaps, it makes the same sound when Baldi breaks his ruler. Because of this, the color of the caption is green like Baldi's.
	+ This makes the Grappling Hook the only item with different colored captions.
* Before *Baldi's Basics Plus* V0.2, the model of the Grappling Hook when used was the main sprite, and it does not have a sprite when the Grappling Hook hits a wall. Also, the Grappling Hook had a one-time use instead of 5 uses.
	+ Prior to V0.3.3, the item's icon was pixel based.
* In the Grapple Challenge, the item's name when selected says it has 5 uses, even though in that challenge, the Grappling Hook is infinite. In addition, when using in the challenge, the number becomes 4 for a split second, then it turns back to 5.

### *Baldi's Basics - Challenges Demo*

* In V1.0, the Grappling Hook would immediately disappear if the player was too close to the surface.

## Glitches

### *Baldi's Basics Plus*/*Classic Remastered*

* If using a Grappling Hook in quick succession, sometimes the Grappling Hook will float in the air.
* Grappling Hook's pulling noise is not affected by audio settings.

### *Baldi's Basics Plus*

* In V0.3.3 and V0.3.4, there was a chance that the Grappling Hook was seemingly attached to any character.
* In V0.3.5, when the player used the Grappling Hook on a window, it would not pull the player towards that window and the player could still walk or run. Over time, the Grappling Hook would not affect anything and it would eventually disappear.
* Prior to V0.3.8, if the inventory was filled with items, switching any item in the first slot would be immediately replaced with the Grappling Hook, making the switched item, such as BSODA or WD-NoSquee, disappeared permanently.
	+ Since this version, when the player tries to switch an item in the first slot, it will be stored in the second slot instead.

### *Baldi's Basics Full Game Early Demo*

* Grappling Hook can pass through wall if the player uses it close to the wall.
* In V1.0, the player would pass through locked swinging doors when the item is used.
