How to Get Clawline
Found in The Cauldron at Underworks
Clawline can be unlocked by binding the Ancestral Art in The Cauldron at Underworks. The Cauldron can be accessed after acquiring the White Key in Choral Chambers and entering Underworks from Whiteward.
From the top left bench, head left, then proceed downwards to the lava floors, then turn right. Continue until you reach the rightmost room, then climb upwards to find a door on the left. Enter the room and platform across the lava to reach the altar that unlocks the Clawline Ancestral Art.

How to Use Clawline
Press the Harpoon Button
Players can use the grappling hook by pressing the Harpoon button, which is the S key in PC, Left Trigger in Xbox, L2 in PlayStation, or ZL in Switch. This can be used to grapple onto rings, dragging Hornet towards its position. Note that using Clawline consumes 1 Silk.
In combat, hitting an enemy with the harpoon drags Hornet towards their location.
