why scarab can't detect the right path
it needs to be on your desktop

was this meant for kurante or me
kurante
oh k
are you selecting the right folder
yes
where did you get the game from
Delete scarabs memory file that's somewhere and then it may work but idk
Bc it seems like it thinks you pirated the game
and where is it 
I just bought it 1 hour ago 
Idk
It's a thing that never happens
Can i please have help?
What other mods do you have installed
Benchwarp, cusrom knight, gattling aspid, ghost hunter, hall of gods extras, hkmote, hkmp, hkmp pouch, inferno nkg, corrupted kin, inf notches, satchel, sf core, vasi, and weaver core
i do have skill upgrades, which has caused problems with hkmp in the past, but i disabled it
oh also for some reason hornet is just
broken
her needle fucking flys off screen now
okay hornet is fixed after some reloading, and i disabled those mods
alright it’s fixed
thank you so much
Mhm
why does it say this when i try to use mod loader
Is the game pirated?
If not, make sure your on the correct version

This is linked to the section on Custom Knight
how do I do item sync for randomizer
.
how do the hashes work
You have to have the same hashes as your partner, they're there to verify the settings are the same
what's the latest mod installer for hollow knight
how do I fix?
does anyone know how to turn pvp on for hkmp?
Scarab
thanks
they are different every time
Yes and? What do you expect?
It's not a problem
so how do i make them the same as my friend
am i supposed to pray to rngesus?
No?
The hashes don't do anything other than verifying that the setting are the same
sorry for the inconvenience, but can someone tell me the name of the mod to see the life bars of the enemies?
Enemyhpbar
so then why are the hashes always different? isnt the hash supposed to be the same if the same settings are the same?
then why do i get different hashes with the same setting
Thank you very much, and do you know where I can find the link to download it?
Its on scarab
Github
Its on... scarab
different hashes with same settings
- Use mp4 as a format so you don't have to download the video
2.use sharebale settings and follow the guide in the pins
sharebale settings?
Look harder
i see a message about it
but I dont understand why
why are the hashes different twith the same settings
how do I get mine to be the same as my friend's
and why isnt itemsync working
you do something wrong and don't have any frustration tolerance
what am i supposed to do
Read
how do I use the hashes? is there some sort of spreadsheet for hashes that mean the the same thing?
Follow this then
ok
i may be retarted
but still have no idea what is wrong
Anyone got the link for Modinstaller 2?

how do I get mod similar to job change in the latest version?
????
????
job change is a mod that added charms that allowed you to select a class and I noticed its not on scarab
how do I get it on scarab
or is there an alternative
i remember it being on the old installer
The Dev of Job Change never finished the mod, and never ported it
iirc, most of the classes that the original mod added didn't actually do anything
will scarab work if I downpatch to 1.2.2.1?
no
damn
there are modding resources in the speedrun discord

Hey guys, I recently got into modding Hollow Knight and I've been loving it thus far- I have however been wanting to add Bean Defender and pride colours to the crawlids and tiktiks- would someone mind pointing me towards a video explaining it or a link with instructions? Thank you in advance ❤️

Skins doc, hes ported as a swapper skin
steam download, up to date, unsure how to troubleshoot
i am missing two charms i had equipped on a finished true ending file.
i messed with the debugging mod and suddenly they were gone. when i went to equip charms to see what the grimm reskins were for the neko custom skin i couldn't equip them or unequip them. its as if they are gone. in finishing THK it gave me ending B as well instead of putting me into the Radiance Fight which makes me believe when i was messing with the charm upgrades the game "forgot" i had done the kingsoul stuff.
im not sure even where to begin checking on this issue and dont see a pin or anything in the search bar leading me to answer on this. help would be appreciated
Maybe unrelated but you probably shouldn't have VanillaMapMod and MapModS installed at the same time
i removed a few mods like VanillaMapMod and saw i added RandomCompanion and i think it hit a conflict somewhere bc now i can debug both of the charms back into my inventory. also. in the few days ive had scarab like 4/5 mods had updates so smthn in that fixed the issue i was having
thank you so much for the help!

Hey, I've been trying to get mods. I've installed them and they've been put in the correct place (steamapps/common/Hollow Knight/hollow_knight_Data/Managed/Mods), but when I open the game, it has no mods visually on it. It's already on 1.4.3.2, and I don't know what's happening. Any tips?
The mods I've installed are: AdditionalMaps, Benchwarp, Benchwarpfix, Custom Knight, Debugmod, EnemyHPbar, Infinite Notches, Item Changer, Satchel, SFCore, and Trancendence. If that helps.
where'd you buy the game from
Steam
no
anyone know why whenever i fight corrupted kin he just sits there and doesnt do anything

How to mod hollow knight pc from gamepass?
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.
Second Method:

🔸 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 and when it asks you for the path paste what copied before.
Scarab path folder needs to have Hollow Knight_Data folder inside

Ok, so my game likes to crash for no reason, and there seems to not be a specific cause. I also can't seem to figure out how to access the crash report.
I had a few mods, and I thought that may be the reason, but I disabled them and the game still crashed.

If there was something in the pins for obtaining crash reports, I either missed it, or it's not there.
The first time it crashed, over an hour and a half had passed, and I didn't do anything to cause it. (Triggering a boss fight, picking up an item, loading in a room, etc...)
It just... Happened.
(I also didn't pirate the game if that helps any.)
Ok, I'm going to try to uninstall and reinstall.
Hopefully I don't need to come back here.

Shit, I was scrolled up
Have you tried leaving and re-entering the room?
I did
Hmm, can't think of anything that would stop you from doing that
I did Cdash out of the worm and the collapse scene never played
the one where hornet rescues me
but I don't think that should have an effect
Did you actually pick up kings brand? Cause if it's a randomizer then it might not have been kings brand
check your inventory
First, multiplayer doesn't support enemy sync yet. Second, it seems like you've just no clipped out into the void, literally just quit to menu and reload the save and you should be back at the bench
im supposed to have kingsoul right? or is king's brand some other item?
Kings brand doesn't give that, kingsoul gives that
so I don't have king's brand, but kingsoul. I thought they were one and the same
Not really, the screenshot i sent is after reloading the game about 30 times and reinstalling
Kings brand is exclusively a key to open the abyss door, kingsoul is a charm that unlocks the birthplace inside the abyss
Download benchwarp mod, pause the game, in the top right click "settings" then "Unlock all" click the closest bench, probably watchers spire or kings station, then click warp
I tried that as well, i couldnt pause the game, not even forcepause through debug, it was either screen of darkness or alt f4
Try going to the main menu > selecting options > mods > debug mod > reset settings changed by debug mod
if that doesn't work try the benchwarp fix mod, just uninstall it afterwards
tried the 1st one, didnt work ill try benchwarp fix and see how it goes, if that doesnt work either im giving up
hey so i was here last night asked about modding for gamepass was pointed to the scarab guide i followed the guide and choose what i presume to be the right path since if you choose the wrong one it tells you the paths invalid so i went into my xboxgames folder then to hollowknight then selected the content folder this then counted it as a path however when i try to install a mod from scarab (ive tried about 5 different mods i think now) it then pops up an error window and tells me about how An exception occured while installing or uninstalling (insert mod name)
run it on admin
Right click scarab and select Run as Administrator
had the same issue
Also make sure that the folder scarab is in is unzipped and on your desktop
ohh thank you sorry this is my first time modding games messing and files and such much appreciated
ill come back if it doesnt work lol
lmao
okay it let me install time to test
im testing a simple compass always on mod first off cause hell...lets be real the fact compass is a charm was just to piss us off
Compass as a charm is great
Memorize the map 
i guess to be fair after 100s of hours ive memorized what is what
i have at this point but best believe that first 100 hours i was confused all to hell LMAO
Does randomizer randomize charm notch costs? Or is that a different mod
It does

why won't my customknight show skins on the top left
Because that is an older version
how do i get the newer version
Only old version have skins on the top left

oh
why isnt there the mod button? i have the steam version of hollow knight
It should appear if you have mods… which mod/installer do you have ?
wait you need magicUI for that ? Back in my days you didn’t need all those fancy mods, and it was really glitchy but we don’t mention that
hey guys I downloaded scarab today and setup everything right but when I get in a save and try to apply my skin it still shows the default one. can someone help?
press fix/reload if it doesnt work the skin is bugged or something like that i think
No you don't need magicui for the mod menu it's part of the mapi but satchel.bettermenus is also a often used library for modmenu stuff
I tried downloading some coustom boss fights from scarab (cagney carnation, corrupted kin, inferno king grimm, pale prince...) and the only ones that work are crystalblobbels and tribe of battle.

I have hollowpoint downloaded, it shows up in the mod browser, but it does not load when I start the game.
Is there a version compatible with the current mod loader? Or is it just out of date?
The current installer is Scarab (and there are some others in dev, but are not considered release-ready yet).
If a mod shows up on an installer for the latest patch, such as Scarab, then it should work.
Interesting. Install Randomizer 4 (you don't have to play rando, just install it), and then try loading your game again
Why won’t my mods work I changed to 1.4.3.2 to try anyrad I changed back to none in betas and now mods from scarab don’t work
Because you changed patches
If you change patches, you need to reinstall at least one mod to get the ModdingAPI again
Thank you
I cant acces my pc right now, I'l try it tomorrow. Thanks for the help!
It shows up, but doesn't load when I start hollow knight
Please don't use ambiguous language. Idk what you're talking about. What is "it" in that sentence?
I think they mean the mod menu
also I am super confused about installing the thing lol
nvm
found a video helping me
HollowPoint shows up in Scarab, but does not load when I launch Hollow Knight
I can help
Go into steam and verify integrity of game files
Uh
Showing up in Scarab means pretty much nothing, due to how Scarab works. Uninstall it, then reinstall it.
Crud
uhh
Sry idk then :(
Scarab or HollowPoint?
Right click Scarab, then select "Run as Administrator"
Hollow Point
kk
Fwiw, Scarab itself is never "installed"
It's just a program that installs other things.
Hmm, I reinstalled HollowPoint, it still doesn't load...
Maybe I have the wrong download?
Can you send a known working link? (If it exists)
Also, does scarab care whether you're on Mac vs on Windows?
I have the mac version, I mean a working download for HollowPoint
where'd you buy the game
nvm i fixed it
in hkmp, do we share the bosses' health when we hit them
or do we have to kill our own one
Own one iirc, as enemies are not synched
Hey having some difficulty with swapper in custom knight. this is where i have it:
and I do have swapper enabled in game
get rid of he "acecrawlid" stuff before hand
as well as the .png at the end
they should look something like this
so i can only do one crawlid type at a time?
yeah
are you sure the .png gets removed? cuz otherwise file explorer isn't actually able to display that. Also, it's still not working for me. :(
how does one start installing mods im kinda afraid to ask the whole proccess
it's actually pretty simple. Go to the pins and click the link to download Scarab. You can also follow fireb0rn's guide
lol no worries. just getting my stuff together to phrase efficiently
hollow point is a bit broken for me lol
gun doesnt even
see it tries to shoot and it make a sound and animation,but it doese nothing
plus the charms are normal?
It doesnt work in new saves
ohh makes sense
I assume you realized this already, but yes keep the .png part
Restart your computer
If a full system restart doesn't fix it, then you'll need to use a VPN, such as https://1.1.1.1
yeah i did, but still can't get swapper working
They can't be in a sub folder
They have to be in the /Global folder directly, not in a /Global/Crawlids folder

-Asking for Help
You can ask for help but be smart about it. Generic questions get generic answers or are more often ignored, or it's a question game. Ask smart specific questions like so:
-Explain your problem in detail
-Explain all solutions you have tried thus far
-Give vital information like where you bought the game, game version, OS, and input devices (e.g. controller / keyboard)
-If your problem pertains to mods, list ALL mods installed
-Screenshot your game's title screen.
-Being Patient
If your problem is not answered, be patient, more often than not people are using the methods above to find a solution to your problem, or testing themselves, and will get back to you at a later time with potential fixes or questions pertaining to your issue.

I've just installed a smolarie skin and saw it also cofigures pure vessel to become King Artorias
And
In the files of the skin, there's this one
it seems that by writting this tittle, you can configure in this case how pure vessel title shows up
obviously, in this case he just wrote King Artorias, so that the game output this replacing "pale vessel"
now where I'm trying to get
as "HK_PRIME_MAIN" is the internal name of pure vessel
whats the one of Uumuu, to change it to Uuwuu
thats the actual question
Let me check GitHub, I made the Uuwuu mod a while back that edits the same text
MEGA_JELLY_MAIN
For anything ending in _MAIN, it usually also has _SUPER and _SUB variants. Super appears above the main boss title, sub appears below it
damm, thanks man you really saved my life haahshah
one more thing, is there any way to change the name also in the statue?
Yes
how
so the README of CustomPantheon says something about "Find CustomPantheon.GlobalSettings.json in your save folder.", but i don't know where the save folder is located. can anyone help with that?

sure thanks
thanks a lot, but how can i find out the name of the boss battle scenes?
Benchwarp has an option to see room names. After activating that just go fight the boss you want
There is an image containing the names but i dont have it
And you can use a tool like (debug idk if it can show names somewhere) unity explorer
I still cant see my custom knight skins even though i think everything is set up right can someome help me?
have you equipped your skin?
ok so any suggestions like what should i use for mod

What Patch are you in?
my version of hk is 1.4.3
Then update your game to 1.5

Yeah 1.5 was important if I remember correctly
my mod file stays on black screen

Scarab has a black screen?

No

Wait nvm it works now
THXX
Thats so weird i tried more than 5 times and didnt change anything
Sorry for the hassle
Oh sorry, it was for me
Do you need to update Scarab?
Only if you want to.
Updates fix various issues it has, so it's usually preferable to do so
Ok so a friend of mine and I are trying to do an itemsync world together, and we have everything except for the room. Does anyone know what to type in for the room when we get there? Thanks for your help!!
whatever you want
How do i install "ModCommon" to get Hollow Point to work? I cant find it in the mod installer thing
So my friend is telling me that he has a mismatched hash, and he can't join, what can we do?
you dont need it for scarab's version
make sure all settings match. use the sharable settings code
your mods and mod versions must also be the same
What is the sharable settings code?
Never mind, thank you so much!!
So we're in the same world now and are sharing items, but we can't see each other. Is that normal?
how would i go about updating my scarab api?
your question doesn't really make sense
are you trying to update scarab? or update the modding api?
these are different things
yeah, im trying to uptade scarab to the latest release
Hello, me and my friend are trying to play HKMP, however we cant figure out the ip address and port for the life of us. can we please haev some help

That’s what I get for doing this when I’m tired
I think it's pure vessel and you can find a msg with a link to a huge list of skins under pins
Hello everyone. I usually play in 1.4.3.2 and I just updated the game to its current patch. My two triggers on ps4 dualshock aren't recognized. Is it a known issue? Thanks!
I'm on steam and using scarab, dunno if it's related
does custom knight and hollow point work together?
yep
well, yes but
when you are holding the gun the mod put down like you are holding it with some black hands, so your skin and the black hands may appear strange
but thats just stetic
I also have a problem
my mods doesn't save their configurations
so that they reset every single time
any help?
does anyone have some sort of guide for using customknight skins on mac?
so i downloaded hollow knight off xbox game pass on my pc and i want to mod it when i choose the game data it says it isnt sufficent data can anyone help me
Is there a mod that allows you to go back to the land of storms when you've picked up the object inside?
can you mod on xbox?
what about if you have pc game pass ?
Hi, I'm completely new to modding and I was wandering how to achieve this camera behaviours:
- Camera moves towards or away from the screen and not just a 2D zoom (like here: https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1oT4y127cs at 00:44)
- Locked camera in place so that the knight can move in and out of frame (like here: https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1oT4y127cs at 01:30)
If it's debugmod then I can't find the right tools or buttons or commands or whatever it is.
At the end of the video the author credits some tools (which I poorly translated with google translate)
For example I have no idea what "new quad mod" is supposed to be.
Thanks to anyone who's willing to help 
Do I have to be online?
And I'm getting this error
Idk, you are downloading things from the internet. Ig not
Where did you get your game from ?
Gog
Run as admin
Okay it's working now thx :-D
So I've been having an issue with CustomKnight
Last time I followed what Link said yet it never worked?
What could cause this problem?
The problem os that you heard link
LMAO
Tho deadass I did everything and it still won't apply
Any examples on what could cause it to not work?
Extra foldrrs
Like what kind?
Too many skins?
No
Sec
Custom Knight troubleshooting
Please post a screenshot that shows:
- Where you installed the skin
- With the directory bar visible
- With the skin images themselves visible
Example what an installed skin looks like:

Usually when I mess up with one of the folders the rest work
But in this case none do
Opened it from the game btw
Do you lack some dependencies ?
Well to be sure to have the right dependencies you can always uninstall and reinstall custom knight
But if I can remember the dependencies are vasi and satchel
I also did that
Still didn't work,
Let me check rq
I know I have satchel
Does updating Scarab mess that up?
It shouldn’t ? Unless it does
Vasi was disabled
Let me restart the game
Even with Vasi enabled now it still won't work
Just satchel
Try getting assymetric knight
Why does that fix it?

One day I’m going to eliminate random bugs with no explanation by forcing everyone to create debug builds of their mods that contain more logging
Wait wha
Mod
It don't show up
YOU WROTE IT WRONG
HOLY SHIT IT WORKED
That means i get 2 star?
Link: Yeah download this and that it should work, if not go on this website where you have to download this and it will restart your whole computer
Ismoil: Uhh I dunno assy metric knight or somthin
10 star
OMGGGG
It works.I just don't like having people to install an unnecessary mod
anyone knows how the hollowpoint gunmod is working?
i downloaded it from scarab, but when i shoot its only one shot and not making damage
It doesn't work in new saves
what do you mean with taht?
Use a save that already exists, so if you want to start a save with the mod, create it, exit it, and open it again
oh okay thanks i will try
how do i download hungry knight mod for hollow knight?
It's on scarab
nope i cant find it
Search in the top bar
like i said cant find it you think i first check the 1k mods first and not search?
Idk there people stupid as that
You sure it’s there? Just looked through modlinks
yeah its not there
It’s far less than 1k 
Where did you see the mod?
I don’t recall it
i was making a point
Skurry I'd guess
yep
There’s a link to it in the description of the vid
ah
It's 1.4 tho
ive modded hollow knight, and now even though the Grimm Troupe has been banished, i still have phase 3 Grimm Child
im not sure how to fix it
Did you change it with debug mod?
nope
im dont fully remember, i can send my current mods list though
these are my current mods @wheat orchid
Huh, I don’t see why that would happen
You can get debug mod and use the charms menu to change it back to carefree melody
ok, its one of the few things i need to do for 112% so thats why im wanting to fix it
help
.
.
Wasnt the mod geo hunger
HollowStomach was linked in the desc of the vid
?
Guess they named it differently in scarab
theres hollow stomach
Ok and
You got it through scarab as geo hunger?
well yeah
I thought you were saying you got it
i didnt
Have you tried looking at geo hunger tho? I thought I saw it in modlinks
i tehnically did get it but it doesnt work
We already explained why
Hey does anyone know how to use casts on the hollow point mod
Are you trying to heal or cast spells
Somebody read the readme!
vengefull spirit upgrades the gun
and the other spells you need adrenaline
the more adrenaline you use the stronger
Yeah I got that I’ve gotten all the spells
then you are pretty op
Okay was a bit confused since it only said quick cast I forgor thst you needed full adrenaline
Ohquick slash is already op on its on
lol but 1 adrenaline and 2 also work with spells just weakers than 3
Full on machine gun
It’s in green path,it’s to the left you need C dash
wasnt it in kingdoms edge?
Wdym
that is quick slash
muck is talking about quick slash not great slash
I forgor what it was called it was in edge
kingdom ege
Yes
Either cyclone or dash slash is in edge
Weren’t both of them in edge anyway?
No
one in greenpath
Yes
one in kingdom edge
I said that earlier
1 in howling clifs
Where was the other I forgor
and 1 in dirtmouth
Idk my memory isn’t that good
Iirc greenpath was great slash
No
Hol up you mean the charm right?
You get nail master’s glory, not a slash
Yes but he doesn’t give you a nail art
It is a good charm though in vanilla
Like pretty much halved cooldown of the abilities
it probably is its probs like all nail arts just upgrade by the speed
Also hornet seems to be the only one who mentions you have a literal GUN
didnt even realise since i skip all the messages
Aight, just warning y’all this is moving more towards #modding-discussion
k
Yeah but no one is currently asking for help so
Plus modding discussion is dead as of now
Same
don’t blame me if despite the very low chance of it, a mod comes here ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Hi, i have a question regarding the debnug mod.. if yoiu give yourself all the charms it appears to only give you carefree melody, but if you equip it youll have both grimmchild and CM equipped, because grimmchild appears on the screen.. is there any way to only get carefree melody?
Yes, change the value for it in the charms menu
Can you explain to a noob where to do that exactly? i mean what is the charms menu?
or do you mean to increment gc until it disappears?
Yes
how do i get multiplayer mod on scarab

^
how do i instal rando on switch
I believe that's not possible
Not with that attitude
Not with any attitude sadly 
welp im screwed (unless i pirate the game on pc [i have my copy of the game right here])

how do i update my mod installer
Manually download the latest version and replace existing files
That’s an even worse attitude: mods 99,99% of the time don’t work if the game is pirated
well what am i suposed to do
cry

how do i get custom knight skins
These are all of the publicly available Hollow Knight Custom Knight Skins that I’m aware of. Some are more complete than others - for example some may have only the knight altered and no custom spells while others are vice versa, some may include sprite sheets for charms or cutscenes or be stand ...
Hello i have a question regarding hollow knight multiplayer
I installed HKMP for the first time, and when I tried to connect to the main server it said ‘connection timed out’
I double checked that I had the right IP address and port but it still keeps saying it
I don’t know what to do
Hey should i make backups of my hollow knight saves before modding?
Yes
100%
I learned the hard way.
Hey. I'm trying to try out the custom knights mod and for some reason when I press enable mod api on the mod manager it says it successfully enabled it but when I reload the manager the enable button comes back. And hollow knight still won't load. Anyone know the issue?
Should I uninstall and reinstall the game?
Tried it, didn't work
Nvm I got it working
Nvm it was only working because mods were not enabled
Nvm I got it working with trial and error
does anyone know if you can play with mods on the linux version?
cant seem to find any info about it.

all g!
Is it possible to use scarab with PC xbox game pass?
Yes ||although in some weird cases, it doesn't work||
Just make sure that you run Scarab as Administrator
okay bear with me bc this might seem like a stupid question, but every time i try to load in the sprites on customknight creator it just ,,,,,, crashes ? and then i have to manually delete the savestate.json file every time and its really annoying 💀 idk what im doing wrong? am i supposed to like, save the sprites separately somewhere else or like?
A. I wouldn't use CKC. Rather, you should probably use SpritePacker.
CKC has a few bugs, some of which can basically make it unusable entirely, and the dev has never responded the times I've tried to contact them about it.
B. Assuming you want to continue using it anyway: It looks like the error that you're having it from giving it a file path that either:
- doesn't actually contain the sprites, or
- it doesn't have permission to read from
i figured it out, im just kinda dumb 😭 i was using the individual idle folder instead of the whole thing 💀 That's My Bad
I do have a Q though: What savestate.json file were you deleting?
Assuming that's the memory file for it, I didn't find it the last time I looked
Actually, nvm. I found it
Everytime I try and open scarab I get a blank grey screen and it won’t let me put in a directory
What OS are you using, and where did you get your game ?
I’m using windows and I got hollow knight from Xbox game pass
Yeah… I’m pretty sure that Xbox game pass requires some extra step
Let me find the guide
Ok
Method 1
Get Scarab from https://github.com/fifty-six/Scarab/releases/tag/v1.11.0.0
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
Method 2
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 and when it asks you for the path paste what copied before.
Scarab path folder needs to have Hollow Knight_Data folder inside
I’m pretty sure that link is outdated though
Take the one from the pins
Ok thanks
I have done all that earlier, my issue is that, when I open scarab, it doesn’t ask me for the path
Here maybe then
i downloaded pale prince mod but cant get it to work whats wrong?
i solved the issue
i think my game is glitching i can open the game but i can't play because it just shows the title no options
please help me
try verifying integrity of files in steam
Hello. Please help me. What to do if scarab write to me "Unable to fetch mode links, the operation timed out"?
Heya, good evening.
Is there a way to get skins on a cracked hollow knight?
You're just gonna be told to buy the game bro
