yeah and I do everything and I load the game and it just goes back to the only boss being pure vessel
I am just looking for someone who has done it before
You can try in the modding discord, maybe you'll find help there
thanks
Help
It looks like you're using an old version of randomizer that isn't on Scarab, you can disable it by opening your mods folder and deleting/moving the randomizer folder to the disabled folder
I'm new, so I don't know much, but when I launch it, eventually the music plays and the cursor changes, but the screen is all black
I'm from MacOs
Whats that one skin that puts a hat on the knight and changes cdash to red and black?
?tag ck
__Custom Knight __
🔹 Resources
- List of all skins: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qKfOtOXpYormusD05I700P8d79E74R1bTb3MP4vum-E
- Video Tutorial on using CK:
https://youtu.be/z35cFvU0McQ?t=466
🔹 Common issues
- Make sure that you apply skins from the Pause Menu (Options > Mods > Custom Knight), when you have your save file loaded.
- If you have White Boxes ◻️, restart your game. You may also need to try applying the skin in a small/empty room, like a stag station.
🔹 Troubleshooting
Please post a screenshot that shows:
- Where you installed the skin
- With the directory bar visible
- With the skin images themselves visible
Example screenshot (yours should look like this):

I'm new, so I don't know much, but when I launch hollow knight, it eventually the music plays and the cursor changes, but the screen is all black
What have you done ?
What installer did you use what did you install…
Where is your game from
It's a technical issue not related to mods apparently #hk-help message
I didn't answer because I didn't have many ideas
What are the specs of your computer? And where did you buy the game?
What’s the mod that makes the entire hollow knight map the
path of pain
is it in scarab?
Decoration master. But you have to find the map pack files online to put in it
Is there an online tutorial
You're probably asking about impossible any%
i don’t know its name
Just Google that, and get the map file from the YouTube video
alr
Decoration master has a readme. Read it to see how to use the mod
And where to put the map file
yeah, i believe it is impossible any%
Steam
i got to impossible any% 1.7.zip i think thats it
i think i do need custom decorations
what does the dead quirrel mod do
also is there a mod that allows you to change how much damage the nail does
?tag controller
Here you'll get some things to try
No tag controller Here found.
__Common fixes for controller issues __
🔹 Toggle "Controller Native Input" in the game, found at Main Menu ᐅ Options ᐅ Controller. Restart your game after changing it.
🔹 Unplug your controller before launching the game, then plug it back in on the title screen
🔹 Use Steam's controller settings, enable Steam Inputs from the game properties, and check controller configuration support through Steam's Big Picture mode
🔹 Use a program to map controller inputs to keyboard inputs, either through Steam or a third party program

wait how
But now i gotta fix the knight just running all the way that direction and not stopping every time i push a direction
anyone know how to do that
On the first page of the binds menu
do i just press on the "nail damage +4"?
If you want to increase the damage then yes
What are the specs of your computer?
Things like what processor, ram, that stuff
<@&283547423706447872> I think
I'm on Mac, no chqnges

Does anyone have experience with playing modded hollow knight on mac with a switch pro controller that can help me?
According to the steam page it should be enough but idk how reliable that is, what about your cpu? I'll be honest I was wondering if your computer was too old but I'm really not an expert on that
Mac high sierra
I've given up and learned to play with keyboard sorry
If that is because you can't update anymore that could mean that you have a rather old computer since the next major OS update dropped support mainly for macs older than 2012, but as I said I'm not an expert on that
I updated it the other day
But if you can't switch to anything more recent than High Sierra then it means that you probably have an old computer, what I don't know is how old is too old for macs
?pins watch the video in the first pinned message

One thing you can try : In steam, right click hk, go to properties, then betas, what is selected?
I tried 1.4.3 but it said it was 32 bit, and my computer is 64 bit
iirc High Sierra still supports both 32 bit and 64 bit apps, so you can try 1.4.3.2 to see if it works, and if it doesn't switch back to "none"
Apparently, even though that's a slightly different problem, some people got hk to run on mac after following the instructions of the method 2 on this page https://appuals.com/error-4294956486-in-steam-windows-and-macos/
If that doesn't work then I'm out of ideas sorry
is there a way to be able to choose what charms get in your inventory without adding all of them at once
saveediting
how do i do that?
ay, what hk version do i need to use for mods?
1,5
thx
is there a way for me to download the child of light mod on scarab
because child of light was in the old modinstaller
thx a bunch
To manually install mods on 1.5.78.
🔹 Download the mod (it'll be either a dll file or a folder).
🔹 Go to your /Mods folder and create a folder with the name of the mod.
Note: You can use your installer to Open the Mods Folder
🔹 Move the mod file(s) into the newly created folder.
➡️ Run the game.

Ok so actually it looks like a bunch of things changed since the guide came out, here's what I've found :
For the 2nd step the correct command is now cd Library/Application\ Support/Steam/steamapps/common
But if your installation is similar to mine you can actually skip to step 4 by using this command :
cd Hollow\ Knight/hollow_knight.app/Contents/MacOS
./Hollow\ Knight
The last step will also be modified but I haven't tested it yet, wait a sec
Ok
how do i give myself charms without giving myself all at once
someone said save editing but i don't know how to do that
?tag saveedit
🔹 Editing save files
You can edit various values of save files. Below are different available methods.
- Website: https://bloodorca.github.io/hollow/
- QoL mod: If you open a save file with QoL installed, you'll have an extra save file called
user#.json, which can be edited using Notepad or a similar text editor. - MoreSaves mod: With the MoreSaves mod installed, you can edit save files from the Main Menu.
- DebugMod: While not an intended purpose, you can edit some parts of your save file using Debug, such as Nail Damage, and those changes will remain even after uninstalling the mod.
More saves works the best
None of the two worked
Does the game launch if you close and reopen terminal, and enter this command :
cd Library/Application\ Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Hollow\ Knight/hollow_knight.app/Contents/MacOS
./Hollow\ Knight
In terminal it says no such file or directory
How do I close it without seeing anything?
how do i change the amount of damage my spells do
I don’t believe you can 
damn
Put on shaman 
Then your hk is probably located somewhere else. To know where, you can right click hk on steam then go to properties, local files, browse. It will lead you to where you hk app is. Right click it, click "show content", double click on Contents, then MacOS. Try to run the file, if that doesn't work, you can try to change the last command that I sent to you for terminal. you can right the file I told you to try to run to check its path, that you will need to replace in the command. There are a bunch of details to know though : your path can start at Library, no need to go before. The folders that belong to the system might need to use their english name, so they can be different from what you'll see if your system is in a different language. A \ must be added before the spaces in the names (you do it with alt+shift+:, be careful it isn't a /, for example Hollow Knight becomes Hollow\ Knight)
What do you mean by closing it without seeing anything?
There is no show content
Only get info
And it opened in full screen, and as I couldn't see anything I couldn't close it
Messages above 👆
The shortcut to close an app on mac is cmd+Q
Not sure why there isn't the "show content" button tho, it should be the second option when you right click the hollow knight icon, unless that is different on High Sierra then idk
(cmd is command on some keyboards)
how do i use the custom knight swapper
At this point there's not much more I can do, so I suggest you look at the pinned discussion on steam (on hk's page, go to discussions, you should find it) that talks about mac issues
There's a tutorial pinned in #modding-discussion
One last idea, I doubt it will work but you can try it anyway, run this command with terminal :
cd Library/Application\ Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Hollow_Knight/hollow_knight.app/Contents/MacOS
./Hollow_Knight
Maybe it's get info
U already sent that message
It's a slightly modified version of the previous one, because I read there are some inconsistencies with the files' names
the link given for all pantheon bosses only includes pure vessel but the skin i have is for THK
Maybe, the name could have changed... but after checking I think it is something different (my system isn't in english, but it seems to corresponds to another option)
I have a very weird problem on my 112% save, my knight does like 8x damage for all bosses and I don't even have Fragile strength on my only damage boosting mod is for the nail arts to have strength applied to then. I turned my other mods off and it still persists so I was wondering what I could do. (this is only on my 112% save)
Nope
the QOL mod lets you change nail damage and its dependent on save
try messing with that mod
ill try it
If you changed it with debug mod or something like that it modified the file (which isn't undone by uninstallling the mod) so you can either use debug to change it back or edit the file
The QOL mod?
Dont you mean debug
one of them idk
i mix them up alot for no reason
im trying to download a skin for custom knight but the link is for a discord channel and doesn't work for me, i tried going to the original video and downloading it from there and i CAN get to the download page but everything is in chinese so i have no clue what to do

?tag crash
Where did you get the game from?
❗Hollow knight Crashes upon opening, after installing a mod
This glitch can happen for a number of reasons make sure that all the reasons listed listed below don't apply to you.
🔹 Your game patch doesn't match the installer you used.
- Scarab is made for patch 1.5.78+
- Modinstaller 1 & 2 are made for version 1.4.3.2
- there aren't installers for other patches.
🔹 Something didn't install correctly
- Ensure that the installer is not still in a .zip file, and that it's not in your Downloads folder.
- Run the installer as Administrator
Your game is pirated / illegitimate.
Piracy is not supported in most communities for games. Mods are not considered compatible with pirated copies, and you will not get troubleshooting support in any of the main servers for them.
HK Modding is only supported on the official versions from Steam, GoG, or the Microsoft Store.
Hollow Knight goes on sale regularly, and you can keep an eye on this website for when it is:

im in both discords though
1.5.7.85 i believe
Can you check just to be sure?
yeah

Hi y'all
Ismoil the error on top saying 2017 means 1.4 if it says 2020 it means 1.5

Bonsoir
That is not the issue
it isnt
What installer did you use?
My hollow knight has been bad since I bought it 😔

Not in that way
damn I set my damage to 0 and I am still dealing like 30 dmg for some reason I think my 112% save is boned
Cannot launch it
So even from when you bought it it wouldn’t open
@split arch did you fix it?
(Additional info for those who would like to help KnightR4ge, because I've given up, sorry, they bought the game on steam, are on macOS High Sierra, with 4gb ram and idk which cpu, tried both 1.4 and 1.5 versions, and we didn't find the terminal command to launch the game, well, from terminal, either because the path was wrong or there was a typo somewhere or something changed regarding how terminal works between their OS and the current one)
(unmodded obviously)
have you tried verifing game integrety?
Yes
run with steam?
Yep
does it show an crash

Don't joke about that, certainly not over a video game.
If anyone currently here knew the answer to your question beyond the suggestions already made, they would answer.
Nope tried it and didn't work
Thank you for your unwanted opinion.
that's not unwanted and something that you should adhere to (they left but are in the speedrun server still lol)
honestly, it sounds like a graphics card driver issue. Is your driver up to date?
I'm new to computers, what's a driver?
I'm from Latin America so I don't know much about it
A driver is what a computer uses to tell it how to run. If a graphics driver isn't up to date, it can sometimes cause graphical problems.
your drivers might be up to date, but if you've tried everything else and nothing is working, there's no harm in checking
I don't have a mac, so I'm not familiar with how to check your drivers on it.
Quick google search brought this up though https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/keep-your-mac-up-to-date-mchlpx1065/10.13/mac/10.13

Hollow Point FAQ
ReadMe: https://github.com/TTacco/Hollow-Point/blob/master/README.md
🔹 Gun doesn't work / HUD is jank
- Hollow Point doesn't work on new saves. Save and quit, then reload the save file.
- Having multiple Gun Class charms equipped can also break the gun.
🔹 I disabled it and now healing doesn't work right

🔹Not working with Custom Knight skins!
This is a known issue, and Custom Knight is not considered compatible with HP.
Here's steps that sometimes work for people (but if they don't, then you'll just need to play with the default skin):
- Uninstall/Disable Hollow Point
- Launch the game, and Apply the skin in the Main Menu.
- Open the desired Save File, pause and Apply the skin in the Mods Menu.
- Save and Quit, then close the game.
- Re-enable Hollow Point.
I downloaded scarab and custom knight and I downpatched but when I try to open the game, it either crashes or it opens without mods.

Hello, i am trying to download Scarab on a mac pc, but i can't get it to open
it can't scan it to be sure it's free of malwares
i am trying to get around that but without success

because when i go down to the charm selection it says something like "got charm" or has charm"
?tag charms
No tag charms found.
I shouldve made this a tag before
thanks a bunch
appreciate it
another thing. are you guys sure you can't change spell damage values
In the save file? No, unless you mean spell level. Through modding? Yes, pretty easy actually.
how
debug can change it easily. you just click the spells in the top menus
to change between normal, void, and no spells of each
but you can't change the base damage values of each spell with debug. you'd have to write a mod to do that.
some mods scale the value for their own use though. like lightbringer, hollow point, etc
How do you enable pvp in HKMP using scarab I downloaded HKMP and set it up with all my friends we all use scarab and we were playing and I pogo'ed on my friend and I realized oh we cant hit each other but when I tried hitting him nothing happend all I can do is pogo on his slash how do you get pvp I would be very happy so I cant slap him around
what?

Thanks a lot

it worked! thanks guys
You probably found a very old one, as you use to need to downpatch
Hi, im sorry for bothering you guys, i hope this wont be a big head ache. So, i started speedrunning on version 1.2.2.1, and i was hopping that because debug tool uses a kind of modding API, i could maybe install somehow the CustomKnights mod. I just want to know, is it possible to do?
not really
the skin files are different on old versions. and there's no easy to use 1221 mod version of customknight
Oh i see
what a bummer
What if i try it though?
if you try what
You said there is no easy way to use the 1.2.2.1 version of CustomKnight, did i missunderstood something ?
Try putting a skin on 1221 ck? Nothing will happen
you have to find a very old build of it that's 1221 specific
and then you have to find an old skin file
of which like 2 exist
Or remake the skin
you can't use the current skins
What if i go to the files and replace thbe skins of the knights with the mods?
what
If i understood correctly, wont work cause theyre different files
ok ok i get it, it's impossible
Its for example, trying to plug a usb c charger to a old af nokia
Im deeply distressed, but it's alright, i can live with that
thanks guys

🔹 Video guide: https://youtu.be/zKEjNSk8AgM
🔹 How it works:
HKMP puts a copy of each player into each other players world. Enemies have separate health and can be in different places; items/abilities must be collected separately; breakable objects must be broken separately.
A player's attack will happen in each player's world, damaging any enemies/players it comes in contact with. A player is only hurt by the enemies in their own world.

For general use (PVP enabled)

PORT: 26951
Requires HkmpPouch
For playing Tag

Important note: "Invalid Addons" means that you have extra HKMP addons that can't be used on the server. Pouch servers can have any Addons that say that they require Pouch, but you otherwise cannot use others!
yah that
(Sorry if i'm interrupting something) Does anyone know how i can get the sprites i need to edit for Custom Knight? Dumping my sprites seems to only give a small portion of what's loaded. Important things like charms and UI for example, don't seem to be dumped, and the files aren't named like in others' skins. Just scrambled letters and numbers.
(it also gives a lot of duplicate files...)
is this normal?
it's very hard to find info online.

I'll probably give both a shot. Been wanting to make a "visibility" pack to make some things more manageable

I already have enemy changer mod and some enemy sprites downloaded
Scarab making steam deck controller stop working (steam version, latest update)
Do I need to rename the files? Can I paste the sprites in the folder "Sprites" or do I need to make another folder for each sprite?
just rename whatever enemy you wanna retexture to the long string of random characters (it's called a hash btw) then replace the original one in the folder with the new image
?tag steamdeck
Mods/Controller not working correctly on Steam Deck
Issue: Steam Deck installs the Windows version of HK, then runs it in proton. This would be fine except that you install Linux Scarab, which replaces the Assembly-Csharp with the Linux version, and then it doesn't like to work correctly on "Windows" anymore
Solution: Go to the HK Library page, select Properties -> Compatibility, check "Force the use of a specific steam play compatibility tool", and select "Steam Linux Runtime" (Note: not the sniper or soldier versions)
This will reinstall the Linux version of the game, and move some files around, so you'll need to select "Change Paths" in Scarab and change it to the new install path, then reinstall your mods. After this, everything should be working.
I can´t find those original images in the Sprites folder, am I searching in the wrong place? If not thank u anyways, you helped me a lot 
did you do the first step
as in, setting the variable in the json file from "false" to "true"
Ill never be able to play hollow knight 😔
mhm
sometime tomorrow can somebody help me get skins
i cant figure it out even with a video
can anyone help a dummy like me understand how safestate to file and loading from file actually work in debug mod?
i randomly managed to write one safe state to file but don't even know how to load that
i can see the list and stuff and it tells me the "mode" i set it too
aka. "load new safestate from file" etc
but it doesn't seem to work
Just follow along with the pinned video, step by step.
If there is something specific that you do not understand, ask about it.
Honestly, a lot of people just use the quicksave.
I'm pretty sure there's a write-up on the speedrunning server about the full save state options, and people there may be more knowledgeable about using them
the fireborn video doesn't really use saving safestates to files
but i figued out the prob 🙂
thanks anyway
I know this has probably been asked a million times, but i searched google, reddit, and search here on discord.

__Common fixes for controller issues __
🔹 Toggle "Controller Native Input" in the game, found at Main Menu ᐅ Options ᐅ Controller. Restart your game after changing it.
🔹 Unplug your controller before launching the game, then plug it back in on the title screen
🔹 Use Steam's controller settings, enable Steam Inputs from the game properties, and check controller configuration support through Steam's Big Picture mode
🔹 Use a program to map controller inputs to keyboard inputs, either through Steam or a third party program

Thanx. Yeah ive tried all that except keytojoy. Ill set that up
so im on 1.5

i installed and enabled the mods
all the files are there in the folder
but when i launch the game
it doesnt show anything
only the defult hk
so i tried
re installing scarab
and verifying the files
and then reinstalling
and downloading the mods again
im on windows
i got the game on steam
latest patch
for latest scarab patch
should i reinstall the game
If you have another installation of the game somewhere make sure it's deleted, most people have this problem when they have previously had the game then purchased it and forgotten to delete the old one
additionally reinstalling the game will reset the game back to vanilla and will require the mod installer / scarab to be re-ran to install, if you still have issues, consider resetting the installer

Hey! I was playing multiplayer with some friends on a public server with a bunch of mods and a bug kept happening where i couldn't hit enemies or break background objects at all with my nail. the glitch kept happening even after restarting and only fixed when i made a new save file. does anyone know what might be causing this?
oh and my friends all had the same exact mods and didnt have any issues like that
oh! that's one of the binds for the emote wheel mod
is there literally a bind in debugmod that just makes the nail not work
If you're not using debug hotkeys, then you can disable them by pressing "Cheats" and "Binds" or sth
There is a command for reducing Nail Damage. When Nail Damage is at 0, you get that effect
does anyone know which mod is making me deal less damage and gain less soul?

HKMP puts a copy of each player into each other players world. Enemies have separate health and can be in different places; items/abilities must be collected separately; breakable objects must be broken separately.
A player's attack will happen in each player's world, damaging any enemies/players it comes in contact with. A player is only hurt by the enemies in their own world.

Is there any solution to the compatibility issues between lightbringer and custom knight?
- no
- it's not even a compatabilitie issue and just the intention

I mean, it's somewhat a "compatibility issue".
Lightbringer was created before CK existed (or, at least before it was considered a "standard" mod to use).
There was no reason not to implement Lightbringer's skin the way that they did at the time.
753 did release a version that didn't have the skin, but it wasn't put into modlinks afaik, and thus wasn't the version that was ported

Random question: how does horizontal desolate dive from skill upgrades work control-wise?
Probably been asked before, can you make enemies/bosses server sided?

?tag crash
❗Hollow knight Crashes upon opening, after installing a mod
This glitch can happen for a number of reasons make sure that all the reasons listed listed below don't apply to you.
🔹 Your game patch doesn't match the installer you used.
- Scarab is made for patch 1.5.78+
- Modinstaller 1 & 2 are made for version 1.4.3.2
- there aren't installers for other patches.
🔹 Something didn't install correctly
- Ensure that the installer is not still in a .zip file, and that it's not in your Downloads folder.
- Run the installer as Administrator
Your game is pirated / illegitimate.
Piracy is not supported in most communities for games. Mods are not considered compatible with pirated copies, and you will not get troubleshooting support in any of the main servers for them.
HK Modding is only supported on the official versions from Steam, GoG, or the Microsoft Store.
Hollow Knight goes on sale regularly, and you can keep an eye on this website for when it is:

?tag install
To manually install mods on 1.5.78.
🔹 Download the mod (it'll be either a dll file or a folder).
🔹 Go to your /Mods folder and create a folder with the name of the mod.
Note: You can use your installer to Open the Mods Folder
🔹 Move the mod file(s) into the newly created folder.
➡️ Run the game.

HKMP Update and how it affects Public Servers
DwarfWoot's Public Servers once again require HkmpPouch.
If you are trying to connect to the Coop or PVP server and are suddenly getting "Invalid Addons", then you need to install HkmpPouch!

Pinning this for a few days. I'm not sure if Pouch will be able to be updated this weekend or not. If it can be though, then I don't want to edit the other HKMP resources.

🔹 Common issues
- Make sure that you apply skins from the Pause Menu (Options > Mods > Custom Knight), when you have your save file loaded.
- If you have White Boxes ◻️, restart your game. You may also need to try applying the skin in a small/empty room, like a stag station.
🔹 Troubleshooting
Please post a screenshot that shows:
- Where you installed the skin
- With the directory bar visible
- With the skin images themselves visible

is there way to export skin mod?
Ask ruttie for another bot 
Didn't Dandy retire for now from modding?
Im probably like super blind, but wheres the modinstaller for 1.4? Ive looked in the ping section, but cannot find. So probably just blind
Why do you want it? Its pretty outdated
I wanna try practicing stallball, and cant seem to do it on 1.5, so i just kinda assume its a 1.4 thing? Cause when using noclip on 1.4 a little while ago, i was able to mess around with getting it, but on 1.5 with noclip and standing in the exact same spot, doesnt give any result
Stallball?
A new low% strat. I wanna practice things i fibd cool about soeedrun categories
Low% te, not sure if its used in low for any%
fireball pogo
Oh. Well you could ask in #speedrunning/speedrun server if its able to be done in 1.5 , the modinstaller should be pinned somewhere in modiscussion
Oh, why dont they call it that for starters
Ye it is
But the fireball does stick around for a short bit. So thats probably the reason. Like you stall it. Dunno. Thats how i interprated it
Alright. I do have it enabled, but sayd its off when checking in the menu. I have experienced that with it off while speedrun practicing, i still inventory drop mid air despite it being turned off. So it could be that
Never trust QoL lol
just don't mess around if you have no clue about it 
hello somthing wierd is happening so im playing a glimmering realm playthrough and i have a few charm mods on but when i have heavy blow on i hit the enemy and it constantly does damage without me hitting the enemy
Did you read the ReadMe's for the mods that you installed?
If not, start there. If you installed "charm mods", then they probably affect your charms

?tag saveedit Save editing with moresaves
🔹 Editing save files
You can edit various values of save files. Below are different available methods.
- Website: https://bloodorca.github.io/hollow/
- QoL mod: If you open a save file with QoL installed, you'll have an extra save file called
user#.json, which can be edited using Notepad or a similar text editor. - MoreSaves mod: With the MoreSaves mod installed, you can edit save files from the Main Menu.
- DebugMod: While not an intended purpose, you can edit some parts of your save file using Debug, such as Nail Damage, and those changes will remain even after uninstalling the mod.
@undone robin did you do this?
i mean, yeah i did
earlier
or
do i do it now
what does reset all global settings do?
do i download that or not
and... can I have for example Custom Knight or it's addon too?
Hkmp has it’s own built in stuff for skins
ok, but could I play with skins singleplayer?
beacouse that's my mods
and benchwarp
Without hkmp? Yeah. With hkmp? Might be a conflict between it and CustomKnight.
Probably shouldn’t have hkmp on for single player anyways
can you recommend me mods that i need to uninstall?
Probably not, idk what you intend to accomplish.
I want to keep that much that i can mods (HKMP must work)
that much mods that i can*
sorry for grammar mistakes but I am from Poland xD
So you must have hkmp stuff for single player too?
Then it’s probably fine except for CustomKnight again
no, i only want to know. Can I play with skins on single player without Custom Knight
?
I’m not sure if hkmp skins work on single player. I’d assume they do
Then use CustomKnight for single player, but don’t use it for multiplayer
HKMP only applies skins while connected to a server (unless that changed with this update, but I doubt it did).
You can use CK and HKMP together. One will just override the other (depending on which was last to apply a skin)
If you're trying to connect to the public server, then you need to uninstall any HKMP "add-on" mods, as currently none are supported on the public server due to HKMP updating.
Oh really? I just remember a time a while back when it kept crashing when I used both
Sorry for the confusion
Iirc the early build (like, before HKMP skin support was in public builds), did crash if both were used? The early skin build were overall kinda buggy though lol
can somebody get in a vc with me to help me get skins im very lost
no
ok
just say what the problem is,text is way easier with that anyways
i install scarab and custom knight put the skin in the folder and go into the game and its no there

ok thx
truly he didn't get it
uh ok so my question is can i help my friend like kill bosses togheter
Yes. Players in your world damage things that they hit.
You cannot sync the bosses though.
Normally I'd suggest trying GhostHunter as well, but it won't work until Pouch has been updated for the HKMP update.

Help! is there a way to install skins without modloader? I have a bad pc and I play hk on phone. (Hk mobile port)

🔹 Video guide: https://youtu.be/zKEjNSk8AgM
🔹 How it works:
HKMP puts a copy of each player into each other players world. Enemies have separate health and can be in different places; items/abilities must be collected separately; breakable objects must be broken separately.
A player's attack will happen in each player's world, damaging any enemies/players it comes in contact with. A player is only hurt by the enemies in their own world.
🔹 Public Servers:
For general use (PVP enabled)
IP: hkmp.org
PORT: 26950
Requires HkmpPouch
For exclusively co-op (PVP disabled)
IP: hkmp.org
PORT: 26951
Requires HkmpPouch
For playing Tag
IP: tag.hkmp.org
PORT: 26950
Requires HKMP Tag
Important note: "Invalid Addons" means that you have extra HKMP addons that can't be used on the server. Pouch servers can have any Addons that say that they require Pouch, but you otherwise cannot use others!
Thank you!

Well the tldr is get every ability using debug and no clip all the way to godseeker
I'll try that thanks
Is it possible to use mods on Hollow knight on Xbox? Or is it only on pc
Only PC
A friend and me fought hornet and I died. Theres a gate now and I can't get back in to fight her. Any fixes?
You can use NoClip from DebugMod
Or your friend can also die
Or you can Disconnect from the server before entering the room, get to the fight, then connect again
