Grip Ring

The Grip Ring is found in Mount Crenel in a bombable cave in The Minish Cap. It is bought from a Business Scrub hiding in the cave for 40 Rupees; a shield is required to deflect the Scrub's attacks and initiate the sale. The Grip Ring will give Link the ability to climb certain vertical walls, an ability needed to climb to the top of the mountain (and down again, of course) via the Crenel Wall. The game's second dungeon, Cave of Flames, can only be reached using the Grip Ring to scale the mountain, as well as the only avenue for reaching the Great Mayfly Fairy and the Crenel Hermit, both of which who live as neighbors high up on the Crenel Wall. This item is also required to reach Grayblade, who resides in a cave on Mount Crenel's eastern side. Like many of the plot-required items of The Minish Cap, however, the region this item was found in is the primary, and commonly only area that requires its use.
