In order to help your friend Emily get all the ingredients for her love potion, you’ll need to get a plant called Crimson Ginseng. But it just so happens that it is located on top of a high ledge. To get it without breaking all of your bones, you’ll need a grappling hook.
How to Make Grappling Hook in Treasure of Nadia
Talk to Emily in the library and offer to help her with the love potion. She’ll lead you to a forest to look for the Crimson Ginseng. Your character will automatically attempt to get it, but he’ll only end up getting hurt.
So, you’ll need to find a different way to get the love potion ingredient – and it will require a grappling hook.

To make a grappling hook, you’ll need two items – a Heavy Cord and a Steel Hook. The heavy Cord can be found at the Doctor’s workplace, while the Steel Hook has to be bought at Squallmart.
Then, just go to your inventory and integrate the two items, turning them into a grappling hook!

What is the Grappling Hook For?
Unfortunately, unlike in many other games, the Grappling Hook’s uses are very limited in Treasure of Nadia. You need it to get the Crimson Ginseg mentioned above and one other item called the Gaffer Tape.
Later, you’ll also use it to make another item – the pickaxe.
