Past giant bat, will I still need the hookshot?

[TheQuestion]

I have all my stuff in the mansion entry hall, so i'm assuming i'm gonna have to hall it with me to the elevator.

Do you ever use the hookshot again? otheriwse ill leave that pice of crap , along with about a billion other inventory hogs.

You still need it up until the cable car ride.

[Coleco_84]

Yup, you will need it 2 more times.

[The Bald Eagle]

Yes, when you get to a train like thing, you can drop it for good after inserting to important items into a console.

The hookshot is the crank from RE1 but 20x times more annoying.

Don't be so cranky, after awhile you get hooked on those mechanics.

NO! Give my item box back! :(

Funny enough, this mechanic was introduced because players were complaining that they had to use an item box and couldn't just leave the items wherever. Then they got their wish and we item boxes again ever since. :D

I honestly prefer RE0/Outbreak item drop system over magic item boxes, because it takes resources management (one of the aspects I love the most from the franchise) to a more realistic, strategic and challenging level. It makes you play smarter than just "Well, I'll pick up everything on sight and store what I don't need right now in the closest item box for later".

Also, it's not that complicated once you get used to it. Like the OP did, leaving items in safe and easily accessible rooms (like Save rooms) is the way to keep things organized, and it's pretty much the same as playing RE remake on Real Survival. Don't just drop stuff anywhere.

All fun and games until you realize the room you left your hookshot in got repopulated with angry baboons.

It was grenade launcher for me, I thought I could get it back anytime.

Finishing the game without it was a nightmare.

You can get it back anytime. If you don't want to risk yourself going back to the training facility from the church route, you can wait till you activate the master elevator that will allow you to go back from the treatment plant to the training faciilty through the train crash site (which at that point zombies in there will disappear)

Oh no, I left the grenade launcher when I was going to the lab. Monolith and hookshot takes a lot of spaces, and I couldn't go back and forth either, becuase of low health, low ammo (a lot of enemies I ignored becuase of it), bat boss fight, and baboons. Followed by Bill and Rebecca split up etc.

When I finally managed to get myself back at the normal state with enough health and ammunition, I was so far away from the grenade launcher that I wasn't botherd to take it back (it would probably take like 30min to get it, also it was still risky due to ignored leech man and chimps), so I kept ignoring it.

I actually considered getting it back few times, even when I was in last part of treatment plant. I still managed to clear it tho, but I still recommend bringing grenade launcher since I had hard time going through the last part.

Moral of story: Never leave your weapons and hookshot (except knife, one of two handguns, and hunting shotgun)
