Grappling hook what you can and cant do

[Totally not cow]

So tested what this seemingly might have been super awesome tool... unfortunately i was dissapointed in some areas. Nevertheless its still fun tool for sure. So far these are my finds.

Can do:
-Scale cliffs/mountains
-With practice you can get past Behe stone gates
-Can attach yourself to wild/tamed animals and they will drag you around.
-Can make a player on leash (they can move away from you only as much you permit with hook) or you can drag them. Can do the same with small animals.
-Can switch to other weapon/tool while grappled.

Cant do:
-Pick up shot/used grappling hooks.
-Use it as a fishing tool. At first it looks like it attaches to the fish for a moment and dissapears.
-Cant grapple a wild animal and damage it or tranq it afterwards. The hook will break once the animal takes damage(didnt test on tamed animals)... so too bad you cant solo tame quetz with this :(
-Doest do damage. Which is even a good thing.

Maybe you can drag it in an enclosed space? Can you do this with a quetz?

not exactly sure what you mean
if you grapple a quetz you cant pull it to yourself, if you reel in you will move yourself to the quetz not the other way.. this will happen with every medium sized and larger animals for example i tried this on wild quetz, parasaur, ptero and galliminus to all these if you reel in you will move to them and if they move they will drag you around and if you damage them the hook will break

and i didnt test what happens if grapple an animal then mount up and move...though with these limitations i think the hook will break

I did a little testing and the grapple stayed hooked indefinitely, but detached when the animals "run away" action triggered.

What you can do is grapple your own bird, have it attack this target and it will chase down the Quetz while dragging you. Then whistle passive before it hits and start tranqing the quetz. Repeat until it's KO'd. First thing I did this update and it's the most interesting tame I've had in this game.
If your on a server that has platform turrets firing at 50/50 issue, then you need to be careful that your bird doesn't follow the quetz to closely there. Almost lost a ptera to it.
