HOOKSHOT
GITHUB A spell at Castle Lockstone
Hookshot in Death's Door
The crow's Hookshot is a spell, not a key item you equip in a pause menu. Castle Lockstone hides it behind the ancient soul door.
Castle Lockstone
The Death's Door wiki lists the Hookshot among the spells, and the location threads put the pickup at Castle Lockstone after the ancient soul door. You fire it at a ring or an enemy and the crow is pulled across the gap. The Flooded Fortress is the dungeon where searches ask how to use it, because several gaps only open if the spell is already on the spell list. If you are in the fortress without the spell, the castle is the backtrack, not a hidden chest in the water.
Maka91's 2021 video covers all four ability upgrades and is the long one, about 243,000 views when checked. Marcuz-X3000's shorter video is the Castle Lockstone soul door specifically. I use both because one is the upgrade tour and one is the door. An upgrade exists. The wiki and the upgrade video treat it as a stronger version of the same spell, found with the other upgraded souls, not as a second button.

Questions
I am in the Flooded Fortress and nothing is grabbable. Why?
The spell is back at Castle Lockstone, behind the ancient soul door. The fortress expects you to already have it.
Is the upgrade a different spell?
No. It strengthens the Hookshot. Maka91's upgrade video and the wiki treat it as the same spell improved.
