Testing Out the New Iron Hook - Ghost of Tsushima.

Using Taka's crafted new iron hook, I swung and grappled across wide cliffs to reach the top of Fort Yatate. After an accidental explosion alerted a nearby Mongol guard, I quickly took him down before climbing the ladder to silently assassinate the lookout on the watchtower.
We parted ways on the route, and I had to reach the cliff side where Ryuzo and his men were supposed to be hidden.
Reaching the area, I found a big gap that looked too wide to cross, but remembering Taka's assurance that the iron hook would hold my weight, I decided to test it out.
Attaching the iron hook to the grapple points, I swung across just like Spider-Man, and it worked smoothly. I repeated the motion on a tree branch, and that worked just as well.
Next, I used the iron hook to climb up a steep hill, anchoring it onto a dead tree. By that point, I started loving this new tool just as much as Jin did.
I kept moving this way until I reached a high ground, where I had to make a risky jump using the iron hook over an even wider gap. I made it safely to the other side in one piece, realizing just how fun it really was.
Reaching another steep hill without a close handhold, I used a piece of a dead tree to attach my grapple hook and kept pressing forward. At last, I reached the top of the fort.
My immediate focus was a Mongol guard keeping watch from a watchtower.
I tried using the iron hook to reach him directly, but I fell twice, making me realize it wasn't about grappling across to his level, but rather using the nearby ladder.
Suddenly, a Mongol came walking closer, and as I tried to duck under a shed, I accidentally released two explosives. The blast sent me flying, and the Mongol immediately noticed my presence.
I had to attack right away, taking him down before he could call for help or alert anyone else to the struggle.
With that threat handled, I went back to my original target, climbed the ladder up to the guard tower, and successfully assassinated him before he could figure out what was happening.
If you like the post, feel free to like, comment & share. I will soon come with another post.
Taka said the hook would hold his weight, and a minute later Jin was swinging over a cliff on it. That is trust. The Spider-Man comparison for the iron hook was spot on. Great captures, btw.
Honestly I wanted a longer look at that last jump over the wide gap, because it looked terrifying. Taka’s gift is already paying off.
Climbing over the fort instead of walking through the gate seemed like the plan finally getting going. The blast sound was louder than I expected after so much quiet climbing.
