Cloth Rope

Place on ledges to create a downward slide.
Overview
Cloth Rope is a placeable item used to create a temporary downward slide from ledges and cornices. When placed at a ledge, it forms an inclined surface that characters can use to descend to the area below by sliding. The item functions specifically as a means of controlled descent rather than as a climbing aid or permanent structure.
Cloth Rope is placed on horizontal edges or protruding platforms; its effect activates when the item spans the rim so that the rope hangs or angles downward. The resulting slope provides a faster, often safer way to reach lower levels than simply jumping, and it can be deployed wherever accessible ledges exist. The item is reusable only insofar as game mechanics allow re-placement or retrieval; the core purpose is to enable descent from one elevation to another.
Practical usage and considerations:
- Placement: Put the Cloth Rope directly on a ledge, cornice, or similar protrusion so the rope creates a downward incline. Placement must be on an edge for the sliding behavior to occur.
- Descent technique: Use the slide to descend without taking fall damage when the game treats sliding as a controlled movement. The slide is intended solely for going down; it does not function as a way to ascend.
- Tactical applications: Employ Cloth Rope when you need a quick, predictable route downward from a ledge—either to exit a high position, reach a lower objective, or navigate vertical terrain in a controlled manner.
- Environmental fit: Best used in locations that have accessible ledges and a clear landing area below. Avoid placing the rope where the bottom is obstructed or leads into hazards unless intended.
- Limitations: The item creates a downward path only; it does not convert into a ladder or climbable rope for upward movement. It must be anchored on a protruding edge to work as intended.
Cloth Rope integrates into movement and level-navigation strategies by offering an alternative to jumps or built-in descent mechanics. Players should treat it as a situational tool for controlled downward travel and plan placements with regard to landing zones and surrounding obstacles.
