Hooks in "Terraria": types and methods of creation

A hook is a special tool with which a character can cling to distant blocks. The E key is responsible for using the hooks in Terraria. Standard hooks can fall out of skeletons or piranhas.

general information

Hooks have many interesting game features. Here is some of them:

  • Hooks in the Terraria help to avoid damage after falling from a high height.
  • If the character hooks on the door and opens it, he will be thrown forward. The same applies to the situation with the opening of the hatch, though in this case, we will be thrown up.
  • After update 1.3, the hooks received a separate cell in the character’s inventory. In addition, there was an additional option for painting them.

  • Their visual length is often different from the real one. For example, the length of the double hook seems equal to the length of the Diamond, but in reality it is much smaller. Of all the hooks, the Hand of the Skeleton stands out especially - its length is about 22.5 blocks.

  • An ivy whip is an average-sized item that takes a lot more to build. It is made from one hook of the Cat, a vine (3 units) and a jungle spore (12 units). Making ivy whip at the start of the game is not recommended, as the jungle is considered too dangerous a location for beginners.
  • A double hook is the best item that also glows. Unfortunately, you cannot create this item yourself. A double hook can be purchased from a merchant for four gold coins. There is another way - to knock him off the copycat.
