Movement & Exploration
移动与探索
Silver Palace replaces traditional jumping with a unique traversal system. Master grappling hooks, summonable mounts, and automated rails to navigate the dense metropolis of Silvernia.
Important: There Is No Jump Button
Unlike most action games, Silver Palace does not have a traditional jump button. This intentional design choice encourages deliberate, skill-based traversal using environmental tools.
Movement Mechanics Explained
Grappling Hook
钩爪
Primary vertical movement tool. Attach to designated grappling points marked with metallic rings or hooks on buildings and structures.
Pro Tips
- Look for glowing metallic rings on buildings
- Can chain multiple grapple points for continuous movement
- Some points only unlock after story progression
- Momentum is preserved when releasing mid-swing
Controls
Summonable Horse
可召唤马匹
Your personal mount for ground traversal. Can drift around corners and even fly short distances in certain areas.
Pro Tips
- Summon anywhere in open areas with sufficient space
- Drift mechanic allows tight corner navigation
- Flying capability unlocked in specific zones
- Cannot summon during combat or in dungeons
Controls
Automated Rails
自动轨道
Fixed traversal routes that transport you quickly across long distances. Similar to subway systems but for individual riders.
Pro Tips
- Shown on minimap as blue lines
- No control during rail traversal
- Often connect major districts
- Some rails require puzzle solutions to activate
Controls
Wall Running
墙跑
Run along designated wall surfaces for short distances. Useful for reaching elevated grappling points.
Pro Tips
- Only works on specific wall textures
- Limited duration before falling
- Can transition to grapple from wall run
- Look for rough stone or metallic surfaces

Navigation Tips & Tricks
No Jump Button?
Silver Palace intentionally omits a traditional jump button. All vertical movement is handled through grappling hooks, wall running, and environmental interactions. This design encourages deliberate traversal rather than button-mashing platforming.
Reading the Environment
The dense metropolis of Silvernia uses visual language to guide traversal. Metallic rings indicate grapple points, rough textures suggest wall-running surfaces, and glowing rail terminals mark automated transport. Learn to read these environmental cues.
Mount Flying Zones
Not all areas allow mount flight. Look for atmospheric distortion effects and floating ring markers. These zones enable your horse to fly temporarily, opening shortcuts across rooftops and gaps.
Fast Travel System
Rail terminals serve as both transportation and fast travel points. Activate terminals during exploration to unlock quick travel between discovered locations. Some terminals require puzzle completion.

Efficient Exploration Strategy
Activate Rail Terminals First
Prioritize finding and activating rail terminals in each district. These become your fast travel network for return visits.
Use High Ground for Reconnaissance
Climb to rooftops using grapple points to spot collectibles, puzzles, and points of interest from above.
Chain Grapple Points for Speed
Learn to chain multiple grapple points without touching the ground. This is the fastest way to traverse Silvernia.
Mount for Ground Coverage
Use your horse for covering large ground distances. Switch to grappling for vertical sections.
Mark Unreachable Areas
Some areas require story progression or abilities to access. Mark them on your map for return visits.
