1 - Overview
| Purpose | Allows the player to climb the elevated areas. |
| Type | Traversal Tool |
| Usage | Attach the anchor to the ground, and then the rope will drop. The player will interact with the rope to hold it, then climb up or down. The player can remove the rope from the ground and place it elsewhere. Logic reference: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/eIOEjIwmJw4. |
| How to Obtain | Crafting. Details of which items and tools are needed to craft this item will be specified later. |
| How to Apply | After the player crafts the item, they select the rope from the items list. When the PC has the item on hand, the silhouette of the rope anchor will appear on the ground. If the terrain is suitable, the silhouette will appear green; if not, it will appear red. Hard terrains are not suitable. Soft terrain is suitable for installing the rope anchor. |
