Lift Vines (Na'vi name: Syep'an) are carnivorous plants that grow in high places such as tall vines and cliff edges. They have strong roots that hold them in place, allowing them to withstand rough weather conditions and carry immense weights.
Within each plant cluster is a pod containing a vine which can extend all the way down to the ground. At the end of this vine, a brightly colored bulb acts as bait to insects. Surrounding the bulb are reactive tentacles, which trap and pull up insects to digest within the pod.
Lift Vines can be found in one of two states: with their vine extended or retracted. The retracted state occurs when the vine is touched, threatened, or in the process of digestion. When in this state, contact or pressure on the pod will cause the release of the vine once again, ready to grab its next meal. However, this does not interfere with the plant’s digestion process.
Lift vines thrive in high places, out of reach of many predators. Therefore, they predominantly grow on great vines and on the edges of cliffs. Their versatility and resistance to weather enables them to grow in regions and biomes across the continent.
Thanks to the impressive strength of the vines, Na'vi utilize lift vines to quickly ascend to high places. By gripping hold of the vine, they are carried up to the lift vine's pod, scaling great distances in seconds. Similarly, they are able to use lift vines to safely descend from high locations unharmed.

Lift vines are present on many cliffsides and great vines throughout the game. To ascend or descend a lift vine, hold the key bound to the interact function. If a lift vine is retracted, shooting the bulb with an arrow will extend the vine and allow it to be used.
