How to play
- Goal
- Swing through the sky ruins and reach the summit portal.
- How it ends
- Reaching the portal completes a course; falling, touching a ward or running out of time ends the attempt.
- Record
- Each course keeps your fastest finish, fewest hook throws and most relics collected.
- Hold the scene, the Hook button or Space to catch the highlighted forward ring. Release to keep your momentum and fly toward the next ring. The worked picture shows a swing under one ring and a release toward another.
- An early hold waits until a ring is in range. Released rings are passed, so the next hold catches a later ring. Gold timed rings release you automatically when their light runs out; releasing earlier chooses your launch.
- Avoid red wards and solid stone spires with red warning marks. Faded distant towers are scenery. Cross the summit portal to finish. Falling or running out of time ends the attempt.
- Relics are optional. Each course keeps separate time, hook-throw and relic records, so improve one without matching your other bests. Opening a panel, leaving the tab or a long frame delay keeps the attempt local.

About Wyrmhook Ascent
A blue wyrm carries a luminous tether through Orenvalt’s suspended tower ruins. Bronze ring-bolts, ward crystals and amber relics hang above the clouds, with four reaches changing from mossy dawn to moonlit sky.
Forty-eight finite courses are open from the start. Finish by crossing the summit portal. Return for faster flights, fewer hook throws or all three relics; these goals can be earned separately.
