How to climb walls in Forspoken

This guide explains how to climb walls in Forspoken.

Square Enix’s new action RPG Forspoken has finally landed on PS5 and PC as the first AAA launch of 2023.

Despite promising trailers, the game has been met with a somewhat mixed reception. Nonetheless, there’s a fair amount to like about it. And players are eagerly getting stuck in to the magical world of Athia.

Forspoken comes from developers Luminous Productions. It stars Ella Balinska (Netflix’s Resident Evil) as Frey Holland.

Frey is a New York City girl down on her luck and facing jail time. In a crazy twist of fate, she ends up in Athia after finding an enchanted cuff.

In Forspoken, Frey faces off against the Tantas. They are a tyrannical ruling clan that control Athia. Frey must use her freshly discovered magical powers to explore the mysterious continent, defeat dangerous foes, and find her way home.

Athia is a huge fantasy open-world. Thankfully, Frey can make use of unique traversal mechanics to dash and fly across the massive world using magical parkour.

One thing players want to know is how to climb walls in Forspoken.

Despite being able to zip around at the push of a button, scaling large walls or rock-faces isn’t so easy.

Luckily, it is possible. So, let’s go over how to climb walls in Forpsoken

How To Climb Walls in Forspoken

Forspoken’s magic parkour system is its big selling point. Most of it can be done by simply pushing forward on the left stick and holding circle.

However, if you try to do that when attempting to climb a wall, Frey will simply slide down to the ground. And that can be really frustrating when you’re trying to get somewhere in a hurry.

All it takes to successfully scale a wall is good timing and a special ability.

Once this has been unlocked, approach a wall and push forward with the left stick while holding Circle. As Frey ascends, tab Circle again to kick off the wall and leap up. Keep doing this until you are at the top.

Unfortunately, there is a limit to how many times you can leap while climbing. However, this can be increased as you progress through the game. So be sure to level up the Leap ability whenever you get chance.
