hello everyone, I'm having a very irritating issue. I'm trying to run scarab, but no matter what I do, avg keeps quarantining the .exe file when it tries to run, even when I tell it to add an exception. I'm starting to think I'm gonna have to uninstall avg, install scarab, and then re-install avg, but I wanted to ask here first in case there was some other way to resolve this

__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

🔸 Why do skins take so long to make/Why is making skins so difficult?
Making a skin involves redrawing every sprite relevant to the skin - at the very least, all the sprites that feature the Knight. That, alone, is over 500 sprites. More detailed skins, editing spells and HUDs can go up to over 850 sprites. All of these sometimes needs to be redrawn over and over. Depending on the complexity of the design, making a skin can take well over months of work to complete.

🔹 Where can I commission a skin, and how much would it cost?
You can ask in #art-discussion on this server, on in #recruit in the modding server linked in the pinned messages of #modding-discussion.
The price varies with the skin's complexity, but a simple one consisting only of the Knight's basic spritesheets will cost upwards of 100 USD and Euros/90 GBP, if only because of the sheer amount of time that needs to be spent on it. More complex skins and ones of higher quality would increase in cost.

🔸 How can I make my own skin?
A good way to get started is following one of these two videos by Megan. They go over important information about the creation process.

Custom Knight Creator (recommended for Knight-focused skins)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PU3y3FwSlJU

Sprite Packer (recommended for non-Knight sprites, e.g. Charms, bosses, etc.)

Piracy is not something that is supported in pretty much any "main" community for a game, and that includes modding communities.

HK Modding is only supported on the official Steam version, the official GoG version, and the official Microsoft Store version.

Please refrain from discussing piracy or asking for assistance any further. We also will not help you if you have pirated the game. If you continue, further action could be taken.

Hollow Knight goes on sale regularly, and you can keep an eye on this website for when it is:

Common CK issues/fixes

  • Verify that the skin was installed correctly.
  • Ensure that you're enabling it from the Pause Menu, not the Main Menu.
  • If it doesn't apply, then you may need to reset your Global Settings for it. You can either manually do this by deleting the customknight.globalsettings files from your saves directors ( type ?tag saves in chat if you don't know where that is), or by using an automatic script from ?tag reset .
heady kestrel

If not you may need to do this reset

AnyRadiance just requires that you can fight AbsRad

#

If you don't have a file that can do this then:
A. You should probably finish the game first ಠ_ಠ
B. You can install GodSeekerPlus, which will unlock the ability to make Godseeker saves, and gives you features in them like unlocking AbsRad

Hey so, some boss skins i have don't come with a folder to get the skins to where they need to go, and don't have their names.

#

Do I need the names to be like Deepnest_09 or something like that or can i chuck em in swapper and dump

fringe creek
#

there is a guide to installing boss skins in the #modding-discussion pins (How to install use Enemy/Boss skins)
Bosses only need the room path if something in the background also changes (like Radiance's Halo, or Nosk's death mask) otherwise you can just use their hash and put them in global. The guide will explain how to do that.

would i need the room path that entirely changes markoth to thistlewind?

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

#

Either load one of the backup saves (assuming you haven't saved more than ~3 times since then), or you'll have to save edit your save to change your spawn location.

#

?tag savefiles

dense shuttleBOT
#

Save Files
The save files for Hollow Knight are shared between all installs of the game, and are easily interacted with.

🔹 What do the save files looks like?

  • Hollow Knight save files are in the form of user#.dat, where # is the save slot for the file..
  • You can take a file named user3.dat and rename it to user1.dat to set it to your first save slot.
  • You can keep a copy of all of your save files by copy and pasting them into a different folder on your computer.

🔹 Reverting Backup files

  • You have save file backups that are called user#.dat.bak#, where the first # is the save slot, and the second # is the backup number. Typically speaking, you will have your last three backups.
  • You can set a backup to be the real file by deleting the main file, and then removing the .bak# part of the backup file.

🔹 Modded save files

  • If you are using mods, a modded save may also have a user#.modded.json (and similarly named backup). Both this file and the user#.dat are part of the save.

🔹 Where are the files?

  • On windows, the default path for Save Files is %appdata%\..\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knight\
  • For other operating systems, type ?saves into chat.

🔹 I need a specific type of save file

🔹 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.

You also may be able to use the BenchwarpFix mod to be sent to Dirtmouth instead, but I'm not sure if that works with modern Benchwarp (because Benchwarp itself I think works slightly differently than when that mod was created)

#

@ Ismoil: IIRC, BenchwarpFix specifically fixed it for old BW.
I seem to remember someone trying to fix a Radiance Bench with BWF, and it not working, and I think that that's because modern BW sets your Bench info in the Modded Save data now

shadow eagle
#

do I gotta edit "respawnScene"

#

cuz atm that says "Room_Final_Boss_Atrium"

pliant lantern
#

Yeah, if you need to edit your save file, then you'll need to change your bench scene to a normal bench

#

pliant lantern
#

You'll probably also need to edit your modded.json to set "atDeployedBench": false,

HKMP (Hollow Knight Multiplayer)

🔹Guide to installing and using: https://geroyuni.notion.site/HKMP-Hollow-Knight-Multiplayer-21723018c74c41d3bc555ee9cfaeb743
🔹 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!

🔹 Click Hollow Knight then Content, click the path bar and copy it.
🔸Run Scarab as admin and when it asks you for the path paste what copied before.

Alternate Method:
🔹 Click on your profile then "Settings"
🔹 Go to "General" tab and select "CHANGE FOLDER"
🔹 Look for a folder where you want to install the game (Preferably inside a folder in your desktop).
🔸 Copy the path bar, then run Scarab as Administrator and when it asks you for the path, paste what copied before.

Scarab path folder needs to have Hollow Knight_Data folder inside

How to fix Installer Errors
🔹 Make sure Hollow Knight is CLOSED.
🔹 Make sure that all 4 installer files have been Extracted from the .zip and that the new folder isn't in your Downloads folder. (Extract the 4 files to your desktop)
🔹 Right-click the installer file, and select "Run as Administrator".

then go to roaming>hkmodinstaller

real jacinth
#

try putting this settings file next to the log

#

then run scarab

slender condor
#

i put it, and still doesn't work

#

the same error

real jacinth
#

you should start over then. delete all your scarab files, redownload it

#

move the files to desktop, and run scarab as admin

#

and delete that settings file I gave you

#

before you run scarab

slender condor
#

i have a question, i used to play hollow knight cracked and i bought it to install mods, it is possible that the error is made by my cracked hollow knight progress?

possibly

#

you should delete all game files then

and install with steam

when i installed with steam the progress i made in the game is still there, and i deleted the cracked files

Note: if you don't know how to manually install mods that aren't on the installer, type ?tag install into chat.

After installing, in order to actually use the mod
When the mod is correctly installed, you should see it at the top-left of your main menu, with the other mods you have installed.

If there is also some larger text that says "Load Enemy Randomizer", then press that button to randomize the enemies using the default settings (Note: you will need to wait a few minutes while this loads). If the button is not there, then go into Options > Mods, and Disable the mod, and then re-enable it. You will also need to close the game entirely, and re-open it.

i've ran into an issue when trying to run Scarab. it asks for a path to the game folder but it says it's invalid despite it being correct. i have hollow knight in a different location from default, a location i set properly through stream. i think this is why it's thinking it's invalid, its not the exact path its expecting...

__Custom Knight __
🔹 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

Example screenshot (yours should look like this):

and besides, the older versions of rando aren't really supported on 1.5, if you really want to use rando 3 again you'd probably want to downpatch

Save Files
The save files for Hollow Knight are shared between all installs of the game, and are easily interacted with.

🔹 What do the save files looks like?

  • Hollow Knight save files are in the form of user#.dat, where # is the save slot for the file..
  • You can take a file named user3.dat and rename it to user1.dat to set it to your first save slot.
  • You can keep a copy of all of your save files by copy and pasting them into a different folder on your computer.

🔹 Reverting Backup files

  • You have save file backups that are called user#.dat.bak#, where the first # is the save slot, and the second # is the backup number. Typically speaking, you will have your last three backups.
  • You can set a backup to be the real file by deleting the main file, and then removing the .bak# part of the backup file.

🔹 Modded save files

  • If you are using mods, a modded save may also have a user#.modded.json (and similarly named backup). Both this file and the user#.dat are part of the save.

🔹 Where are the files?

  • On windows, the default path for Save Files is %appdata%\..\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knight\
  • For other operating systems, type ?saves into chat.

🔹 I need a specific type of save file

🔹 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.

Hello, does someone know how to download the mod used in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUZGZ7cVL60 ? The discord link it's expired

If you loved The Impossible Birthplace, why not enjoy an equally impossible playthrough of the entire game? This is the trailer for Impossible Any%, created by Gwonkee. It's a full revamp of the speedrun using CustomDecorations, and it took nearly a hundred hours to make.

This map requires the QoL mod.

Ok, im here again. I tried installing the Impossible Any% mod, but i can't even get the DecorationMaster to run. I put the dll in a folder and ran the game because im supposed to get a DecorationMasterData folder, but when i load the game it says that the mod doesn't load

#

So, my question is, how can i install the impossible any% mod, the folder only has a bunch of .json files, you still have to use the DecorationMaster mod? If that's the case i need some help to get it run xd

Install decomaster with scarab

Try harder? ... the settings literally say what they do, there is also additional information in the readme. If there's something specific in settings that you're confused about, take a screenshot of it and ask a more detailed question but it really seems like you're just not reading the menu.

How to use Scarab in Microsoft Store
🔹 First enter the Xbox app and move your mouse over Hollow Knight on the left bar.
🔹 Click the three points then click "Manage".
🔹 Go to the "Files" tab and select "Browse...".
🔹 Click Hollow Knight then Content, click the path bar and copy it.
🔸Run Scarab as admin and when it asks you for the path paste what copied before.

Alternate Method:
🔹 Click on your profile then "Settings"
🔹 Go to "General" tab and select "CHANGE FOLDER"
🔹 Look for a folder where you want to install the game (Preferably inside a folder in your desktop).
🔸 Copy the path bar, then run Scarab as Administrator and when it asks you for the path, paste what copied before.

Scarab path folder needs to have Hollow Knight_Data folder inside

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

Have you used any mods?

warm roost

There's a charm button in the top right menu of debug, when you click on it you have several options displayed including grimmchild's level

novel bronze
#

So if i get grimchild to max i can get to fight grimm?

warm roost
#

It depends on which level triggers which interaction with grimm, but I think the game only takes the amount of collected flames into account for triggering the fight (which is also something you can edit with debug). Also max level grimmchild is carefree melody, the "true" max level is the one before

edit: you need the correct grimmchild level too apparently

#

The normal grimmchild levels are 1 to 4, and carefree is 5

🔹 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

Example screenshot (yours should look like this):

🔹 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
Hollow Point edits how Soul works on a file.
Here are ways to fix it:

🔹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.
