"Within the first few hours of Art of Vengeance, you'll have the opportunity to go to a stage called Neo City. The mission is a little bit more open-ended than the past stages, and sees you rescuing three kidnapped children from different areas of the map. Once you have rescued all three, you'll find them gathered near the center of the map, where they gift you a grappling hook for reaching distant areas."
"You've almost certainly seen the grappling points in other areas of the game--including Neo City--by this point, but do not go look for them. Instead, grapple to the point that lowers down from the ceiling in the same room as the rescued kids. If you don't do this and instead go elsewhere, the grappling point above the kids will disappear, and it will not return--even if you completely leave the stage and come back."
"It's a bit of a problem because that grappling hook is the only way to progress to the end of the stage, which is mandatory for completing the game. Luckily, it appears the issue is fairly widespread, so it's likely on the studio's radar already. I encountered it myself on Switch 2 (via backward compatibility), as did several others who confirmed the problem via Reddit."
Shinobi: Art of Vengeance delivers weighty, tactical ninja combat and a striking visual overhaul from Lizardcube. In Neo City, rescuing three kidnapped children grants a grappling hook that enables reaching distant areas. A specific grappling point that lowers in the children's room must be used; if players grapple elsewhere first, the central grappling point disappears and does not return. The grappling hook is required to reach the stage end and complete the game, creating a potential hard-lock. The issue has been reported on Switch 2 via backward compatibility and confirmed by multiple players, suggesting broad impact and likely studio attention. Players should follow the intended sequence to avoid getting stuck.
