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 create a post in #1057825333841240104 for this
You must post a screenshot that shows:
- Where you installed the skin
- With the directory bar visible
- With the skin images themselves visible
- Example screenshots (yours should look like this):
Did you place the folders like so
Ping isn't needed thanks. If you downloaded them & immediately dragged them into the folder then my guess is they still need to be extracted. Then the structure needs to match the example
i figured it out
Wait what will happen to my original save file when I want to play modless and try to launch without mods?
Nothing
oi
How do I add custom enemy skins with custom knight?

Is there a full collection of the Aether Knight skin pack?
Because the one I've got from the link is incomplete.
random question, is there a mod that lets you see stuff on the map you havent gotten yet? im trying for the 100% in 20 hours achievement and that would be really helpful
thanks!
What's on the list is whats publicly available
how do I look at the seed for a randomizer?
if anyone wants to do a co-op randomiser with me, Dm me
the seed number is shown on the settings screen, but usually when someone says "seed" they're actually referring to ALL of the settings together, which is generally captured in the sharable settings code - using rando settings manager if Connections are in use
Can anyone help me with installing the Lightbringer mod?

I guess she has the "pale blessing" of the delicate flowers

@ Colette
I saw Skurry doing one of those randomizer mods and felt rly tempted to try, he used Transcendense and skill upgrades, but I installed Randomizer 4 and these 2 mods and skill upgrades isn't randomized, it comes already when I get a skill
How can I make this work?
Also, I wanted those split items, like left/right dash or claw, but if it is too complex to make work I don't mind
To randomize the skill upgrades, from the randomization menu go to connections -> SkillUpgrades. You can split abilities from the novelties section of the randomization menu (if you want more precise settings, go to more randomizer settings -> novelties to configure exactly what you want)
whats that mod that lets you summon ooma cores on yourself
I cannot wrap between benches using benchwrap mod, while the debug UI(using deubug mod) tells me a new save-info(to the new bench) was created but then the original location(where i am right now) was loaded. That's to say I wrap but I'm still here(on the original bench). Anyone met problems like this before? It bothered me a lot. Thans for all your help!

CustomKnight Creator is a sprite program that seeks a more intuitive approach to creating CK skins.

Reset CustomKnight Creator Memory
This should fix errors that prevent the program from opening.
- Press the
WindowsKey+Rat the same to time to bring up the "Run" window, then enter%appdata%\..\..\CustomKnight Creatorand pressEnter. - Delete the
savestate.jsonfile. - Run CustomKnight Creator again
Though I recommend switching to spritepacker, honestly. More stable, and can pack more things.
thanks a bunch
is there a mod that gives infinite geo?
You can give yourself geo with debug
how
you'll find the option in the 16th page of the binds menu, which is part of the big menu that is displayed when you press f1 in game
A lot of things
I don't have the debug mod
If you've never modded the game then get the lumafly installer and use it to install debug

Hi question, is there a mod for a room randomizer? If so what's the name of it?
Oh really?
I have that one already but I couldn't find the room randomizer setting
Oh yeah found it! Thanks a bunch!
Is it possible to disable specific parts of the easymode mod?

If so, it would probably be in the global settings file for it. If one exists, Lumafly should be able to open it for you

Hey excuse me, but how should I do if you want a help to make a mod? Is there a server
?tag pins2
I'm thinking of making a mod of combined charms
Like I told you in #hk-general 
And on mobile, I'm without the pc right now.
Slide to the left
one hop this time
What are some recommended charms for any radiance?
So far I'm using: soul catcher, unbreakable strength, steady body, quickslash, stalwart shell
I am aware that baldur shell is needed for the climb phase, but I wanna practice phase 1 & 2 with more useful charms for those phases first
looks good ngl
minus soul catcher, thats the same build i use
(i haven't beaten it but i've made it to climb a few times)
yeah
cool, well for now i'll keep it the same so i can practice the first couple phases more easily but i'll change it after that. Thanks :)
good luck!
thanks!

The dash master/quick focus one should give you like a 5 second window of I-frames after healing
Maybe 3 seconds
I thought about wearing a mask every two dashes and protecting from an attack
I have an idea, but it would only really make sense if you could combine three charms. What if those two perks happen if you have dash master, quick focus, and deep focus all fused together as a cool synergy effect
It's that a combination of three charms is already a lot, that's why I only do two charms at a time.
Ah, got it
Well then, the quick-dash charm could also just increase the speed of the dash, or at the very least, allow you to dash away while healing
It would cancel the healing effect tho
This actually makes me want to try some combinations of my own
Anika you should go for anyrad speed hack wr
Use debug to increase the game speed and go from there
That gives me an idea
1 hour attuned hog but your game speed is set to 1.2
It does, yeah
Try it
If not then do 1.5
does any one have the link to hollow knight mod installer 2
Why, it’s for 1432 and hardly anyone plays on that anymore
oh
Pretty much all modding moved to 1.5
wheres the link to that??

Please help with the Pale Court mod!
Hello, recently downloaded our Pale Court and ran into a problem. Installed through scrub, the name of the mod is displayed in the upper left corner. There is even an opportunity to change the theme in the main menu and go "under" Ogrim's status in the Hall of Gods. However, there is no way to hit the knights with the nail of dreams. If I hit Izma or Gray Weeper, a window with their thoughts pops up, but there is no transition to combat. Tell me, I'm doing something wrong and I don't understand something, or the mod just broke (I tried resetting it, it didn't help)
||have you defeated white defender in the overworld||
no
do that
ok
How hard would it be to adjust Hiveblood to not cancel out if you heal early?
My rando blessed me with free hiveblood and I'm learning how awful it feels to wait.
If healing didn't cancel the free heal I think it'd be fine
You could use charm changer to reduce the time hiveblood takes to heal the mask
I don't want to change the balance much. The fact I can't heal normally without wasting the autoheal is what makes it bad.
But I'll look into that, too, thank you

Hi quick Question how do i install mods for Hollow Knight?
?tag pins2
thx
how do i install mods for Hollow Knight?
I need some help asap:
I used to share an account with my friend on hollow knight on xbox and i decided to buy it on steam. while i was playing on xbox i had installed mods and they worked perfectly, but now that i have steam it just doesn't work and i have no idea why
?tag pins2
That sounds rather normal, you need to tell scarab that you switch games and are now using steam instead of Xbox
You need to select the new path
i have. i have literally done everything such as deleting the save from xbox and recreating it by relaunching on steam
and nothing even works, yes i have made sure scarab is properly initialized
Im pretty sure there is a super nifty and cool script that does it for you but I don’t know it, so instead I will recommend to uninstall scarab and install the latest installer to date (lumafly)
i'll try that. can i ping you after i try it?
This has nothing to do with your issue
What you want is to tell scarab that your game is from steam
There will be other people to answer, so don’t
Also
?tag noping
let's just say it needs authorization and i can't do that one. so uh now what
No administrator perms 
yep exactly.
no im not and my dad is strict so he has only allowed me this much
Then go ask permission from your dad ig to download it
issue is it doesn't automatically ask for admin and i can't get it to where it asks
but i'll try, ima update ya in a bit
oh my god guys it worked!! thank you so much!
Anyone got any fun mods I could try out?
Lumafly has all of them. And they're all pretty great
OK, thank you
Hi, I wanted to do a bingo with some friends, but we don't know how we can make it so the bingocard displays in game. Does anyone know how I can make this work?
You install bingoboard
Is that like the Room name?
It's the code in the url or possibly the whole url
do rando addons work with multiworld? like grass rando, breakable wall rando, etc.
haven't been able to find anything about it
Yes
is there a resource on how to get them to work or should I just open a thread?
Do you mean the connections or multiworld in general?
Connections work the same in multi as regular rando, you just enable what you want before joining the multi
the connections, when I try to start multiworld with my friend, nothing actually happens
Fo you mean toure both in the room ready, and nothing happens when one of you presses start? If so a #1057825333841240104 post is probably best so you can include the info requested in the faq
we're double checking mods and if nothing I'll do that
Yeah it's important that your base tando & multi are the same version, but connections don't have to match
can someone send me the .dll for infinite grimm? i'm using using modinstaller and 1.4.3.2
just like dm it to me
if you're curious as to why i'm not just doing it with the modinstaller it's cause i'm getting hit with an error, so i'm thinking that manually installing it would get around that
Why not latest patch?
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Im pretty sure thats available for latest patch maybe try looking for it on lumafly
That woudl make it easier
cool thx

HKMP puts a copy of each player into each other players world.
Enemies have separate health and will usually be in different places; Items/abilities must be collected separately; and Breakable objects must be broken by each player. Player attacks 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.

?tag savefiles
Save Files
What do save files looks like?
- Each Hollow Knight save file is a
user#.datwhere#is the save slot for the file - You can rename
user3.dattouser1.datto 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 Backups
- Automatic backups are called
user#.dat.bak#, where the first#is the save slot, and the second#is the backup number. You will usually have your last three backups - You restaore a backup by deleting the main file, and then removing the
.bak#part of the backup version
Modded Saves
- A modded save may also have a
user#.modded.json(and similarly named backup). This file and theuser#.datare part of the save
Where are the files?
- On windows, the default path for Save Files is:
%appdata%\..\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knight\- You should just copy and paste that path directly into the File Explorer path bar at the top.
- For other operating systems (and Xbox Games), type
?tag savesinto chat
I need a specific type of save file
- Various save files can be found in the "Saves" section of this page: https://www.speedrun.com/hollowknight/resources
- If the file you download is a
.raror other archived format, then you will need to extract it with something like 7zip
- If the file you download is a
Editing save files
- MoreSaves: With the MoreSaves mod installed, you can edit save files from the Menu, by going to Options > Mods > MoreSaves
- QoL: Opening a save with QOL installed will create an extra save file called
user#.json, which can be edited using Notepad or a similar text editor - 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
- Website: https://bloodorca.github.io/hollow/
So I'm currently having a go at any radiance, with some success, but I want to practice platform phase more. Is there any way to skip to that part? I get very limited runs to that phase so practicing it atm is kinda difficult
You can practice any specific phase - except the climb - with the mod called Infinite Absrad Phases, which works with anyRad too. Note that if at some point you want to practice the climb you'll need to use GodSeekerPlus instead
Ooooh that's perfect, thank you, also the fact that they're infinate would be great too

plus, the first bullet doesn't deal damage

Hollow Point FAQ | Install | ReadMe
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.
- Hollow Point is not compatible with some other mods, such as Pale Court.
- Despite what the ReadMe says, you do not need ModCommon for it
Healing isn't working!
- If you are playing with Hollow Point Enabled, then read the ReadMe (linked at the top of this post) to learn how healing works.
- If you've Disabled Hollow Point, and healing isn't working:
- Hollow Point edits how Soul works on a file, as mentioned in the ReadMe
- 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.
oh ok
I'm curious what's intimidating about it? is it the forum style or something else?
i feel like its the tags half the time
the requirements to post
title, description & tag?
i'm not sure what modlog.txt is and it seems like an arduous process to find out
I guess maybe you're right. It's just not that bad IMO, from having finally made a post in the ideas forum to see the actual flow
the FAQ tells you the command that explains it if you don't know. The modlog is one of the most useful pieces of info when troubleshooting mod problems.
can you add a specific charm to your inventory using the debug menu? but not all of them at once
No. That would take save editing

- [How to use Enemy/Boss Skins](#modding-discussion message)
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 create a post in #1057825333841240104 for this
You must post a screenshot that shows:
- Where you installed the skin
- With the directory bar visible
- With the skin images themselves visible

What button launchs Scarab
I cannot figure this out for the life of me
Please god help me
Scarab is an app so you double click the .exe file to launch it, or to prevent some issues you right click it and select "run as administrator". If the fact that there're multiple files a source of confusion, you can use Lumafly instead, which also has more features than scarab:
?tag lumafly
Lumafly
This is a new version of Scarab (Which was formerly known as Scarab+), that fixes many of the problems with the commonly used version, as well as adds additional features (filtering by tags, filtering by new releases, offline mode and allowing you to use shareable download links):
https://themulhima.github.io/Lumafly/?download
Make sure it is up to date
And then you need to select the right tab, between the two/three that show up on the top
You dont Need to i think
You can Just enable the API and open the game through steam
How
It works for me atleast
No, you have the api Active
Now open the game from steam and not scarab
Ok?
Simply open the game normally and It Will be modded
Np
Scarab indeed doesn't use a "launch modded" button but the benefit of using Lumafly's button is that it will check that the modding api is actually enabled, whereas scarab won't which can be an issue because it's enable/diable api button doesn't always work
Well, here's an example of the scarab's api button not always working... So I recommend switching to Lumafly and using its "launch modded game" button
?
I, me, solemnly refuses to fix my issue
It didn't work
I shall scream anyway

How it works
HKMP puts a copy of each player into each other players world.
Enemies have separate health and will usually be in different places; Items/abilities must be collected separately; and Breakable objects must be broken by each player. Player attacks 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. This page explains how you can use other mods and addons to synchronize some aspects, and improve your experience.

How do i install mods on hollow knight?
?tag pins
Will modding my game make it not do acheivments?
no, you can still get achievements with mods installed
unless you get the one that was made to disable them
that wont affect anything
kk
How much would I have to pay someone to make a mod for me
Or for anyone
Just to make a mod😭
Depends on the mod - there is an ideas & requests channel in the modding server where you can make requests. As well as a recruiting channel if you're willing to pay
(Modding discord is linked in pins)
Can they also teach me how to mod
yes, there's resources for learning there as well
Bc I wanna make a mod like the dream Shield co op mod
i'd recommend getting familiar with unity and even a bit of C# if youre gonna get into that
Alr
how much would I have to pay someone to make a co op mod using cloth as the second player
Bc there’s a mod where you can use her to help you in the game 24/7 but I want to be able to control her to like control when she attacks and when she telliports
If I had to guess probably 200 USD. Not a modder. But I do coding
is there a site for the mods or do we just find them?
They're on the installer. See the pins.
is there a mod for un-equip-able voidheart?
The installer is searchable, and I don't have all the 300+ mods memorized.
does anyone know how to remove modlist on the top left corner ?
You can't. Best you can do is condense it, with the hide modlist mod.
why would you want to unequip it
Better Voidheart iirc
Easy enough to find…
Does that allow you to unequip it? Thought it just added king souls effects to voidheart
because i didn't know there was multiple endings
If you want the pre-voidheart ending you probably need to actually level it down with debug, not just take it off. Although maybe it's different in vanilla, you can remove voidheart in rando & you still get Hornet in the THK arena.
ok thank you

Viruses in an open source program, hosted by staff on the official hk server? Oh yeah, loads

how does one downgrade voidheart?
With debug or with save editing
nvm i figured it out
I'm looking to completely overhaul Hollow Knight for a new playthrough after getting all achievements, what mods would you recommend?
Don't forget to also play Pale Court first
as for an overhaul, Randomizer is popular
Hollow point
Lost artefact
Glimmering realm
Each of those shouldn’t be played with one another and the first two are fun to mix in with rando
So which do you you think I should go with first
The one that sounds the most interesting to you

Does anyone know where I can learn how to mod
do you know c#?
Nope
you’ll need to
nope
Damn
I know you need to know c# tho
well I do but only in GML

The modding discord has guides to learn how to make mods for HK. Link is in the pins.

1 seems to be mostly complete (unsure if itll be public) and the other is another arknight skin
and about 12 more which are newer or just "abandoned"
Can I play online without a license?
wdym without a license? You need an official pc version of the game to use mods if that's your question

Why ping a message from 3 years ago 
Very important messaage 
wouldn't this discord update fuck up the skin list? since iirc some of them are just discord links
Yeah, I've actually already had a heads up about this, basically direct link downloads won't work for long periods of time but most of what's on the List links back to the post. So there are a few things that will need to be updated but not many. (I had been thinking of switching to direct links because post links confuse so many people but with this coming, the bold red text will remain and so will people's confusion)
alr glad ur aware 👍
What code is hollow knight in
c#
Well there goes my one year of coding lessons
rip
:/
the year of coding lessons are still valuable
you can make your own games in whatever language you learned
true I am using it to code websites
Hey guys, uh... I've got a problem
I'm stuck on one mask and the only way to change it is by equipping health charms
Also my progress got set back from above 100% down to 100%
This affects the base game even if I disable all mods. Some file in the actual game is f*cked.
(answered in HK modding)
nahh once you've learned one language, learning another becomes easier
knowing multiple programming languages is nice
if you wanna get into hk modding, I recommend you first learn the basics of Unity engine
?tag goodmods
Pail CurtZailants Surprise (adds Additional Content)- Test of Teamwork (adds a second, harder, PoP area)
- Lost Artifacts (adds a new series of findable items similar to Charms)
- Transcendence (adds a new series of hidden Charms
- Loremaster (Adds a lot of abilities, related to lore/dialogue)
- Skill Upgrades (Optionally modifies your skills/spells; more fun when playing Rando imo)
- The Glimmering Realm (A "second quest" that makes the existing assets of the game feel like a new game area)
Additional note: Charm Crab is apparently a "game overhaul" mod, that modifies a lot of things in the game (I know it modifies charms, but I think it tweaks a few other things as well). It's meant to give a new experience to a fresh playthrough, but it notably conflicts with most mods other than plain Rando.
Randomizer 4 and pale court as well
Hkmp, itemsync
K

I'm up early & caught OneLeaf working, I got 5 things I don't think we had before & I'll upload here later after I sort them out & make sure they're what I think they are
are the mods list in the threads/pins?
nice
do you mean the extra mods list? I don't think it is pinned here (you could easily check yourself) it's included in the extra mods tag. If you mean mod list in general, there's not one - it's not necessary since for most you can just look in the installer
The extra mods sheet is in the first pin, fwiw. I added it a few months ago when I realized that I never replaced a pin that I remember that included it
I didn't even realize it was there LOL
I could probably make it more visible, but the constant battle between visibility vs short pins and all that 
The current installer mods aren't pinned anywhere though, yeah.
We used to have a pin to modlinks, but it seemed unnecessary because of how rarely it came up, so I think that that pin was yeeted. I should probably add it to that first pin as well though 
Is there a website I can learn the code from
does pale court need any other mods to make it work
Yes
those are?
They should automatically get installed when you install pale court
But, just for you
Clicking on the name of any mod should tell you the dependencies
So just go to your installer, click the name and look at it
sorry i havent used scarab in a long time
That's a lot of authors
so i didnt know where the dependencies thing was
Why am i not there?
Did the stolen version i hacked from someone elses pc not count as playtesting???
This is bullshit, complaining to the pale court team rn
are you being serious or sarcastic
Both
makes sense
making mods or downloading existing mods
Making mods
:/
unfortunatly
Ok then lemme ask another server:/
?tag pins
The internet is full of learning resources, I'm sure you'll find something you like
but to learn hk modding, you'll have to learn Unity, for which you should learn C#
so focus on those for now
so what do I search up just unity
You'll also learn a lot by looking through the code of other mods and the resources of the modding server, the pins of https://discord.com/channels/879125729936298015/936668443959234570 and https://discord.com/channels/879125729936298015/879341621349593138 have useful resources
unzip it & copy/paste it
Please dont ping year old messages, if youre having an issue first check pinned messages as those usually have an answer for you
Yes it is

that was my next question thanks :]
so, im coming back to the game after a pretty long break
basically only thing i wanna inquire
is it possible to put the custom knight skins on the pause menu? I liked quick toggling from the start, but now it seems like it's hidden behind Options -> mods -> skins -> skin list
and just, way too much clicking, is there a toggle or something to put it back to where it was originally?
There isnt cause that didnt let you have several skins at the same time and it blocked a lot of other menus like debug.
Youre not really supposed to change skins like every 5 minutes
I do remember a script for modscript that changed your skin every transition
I forgot where to find it tho
i had installed an intiial batch of a few skins back in like 2020, maybe 2019
and like, there's way more skins now
so i wanted to try each of 'em out for a little bit before swapping
so yea, i guess change skins like every 5 minutes is what im doing atm lol
oh well ty for letting me konw
Did you get the recently publicized skin?
Biz I saw that skin for a while

Yo I got scarab and I only want to install all the randomiser + useful mods, so any tips?
Wdym tips
DebugMod and Benchwarp are probably among the most useful
Hm
And how do I get all the rando mods at once, or do I have to install them separately?
Well all the dependecies download automatically
All the add ons you have to install yourself
If you're looking for Connections you'd have an easier time using Lumafly over Scarab
Because there are more search options
So say I want to have a complete randomiser mod pack, I have to install them all separately? (I ain't using lumafly ty tho)
If i am not satisfied with scarab, I'll try lumafly
Yes, you have to install them separately. Good luck finding them all on Scarab
Can i mod 1.5 versions ?
Not only you can, that's also the recommended version to use mods

Hollow Knight Crashes upon opening after installing a mod ⚠️
This error can happen for a number of reasons. Read through all of the common reasons below to see which might apply to you.
-
Your game patch doesn't match the installer you used
- Modding is currently done on patch 1.5.78+, and this is what all current installers require. If you're on Steam, then make sure you are not accidentally using a Beta patch (Beta should be set to "None")
- "Mod Installer" ( Zote) and Mod Installer 2 are made for version 1.4.3.2, and should no longer be used. If you watched or read something that said to use these, then it is outdated information.
- There aren't installers for other patches, like 1.2.2.1. If you are looking for speedrunning mod help, then type
?tag 1221into chat for more information.
-
Something didn't install correctly
- Right-Click the installer, and select "Run as Administrator"
- Ensure that the installer is not still in a
.zip file(if you downloaded it as a.zip, then you'll need to Extract the files from it) - Make sure that you moved the Installer file(s) out of your Downloads folder
-
Your game is cracked / pirated

- Piracy is not supported in most communities for games, and discussing it is against Discord Community Guidelines. Mods are not considered compatible with pirated copies, and you will not get troubleshooting support in any of the main servers for them.
- Modding is only supported on the official computer versions from Steam, GoG, or Xbox Games.
- If you do not have a supported version, then please get it and then you can get support with modding. Asking for assistance with unsupported versions may result in moderation action.
- Hollow Knight goes on sale regularly, and you can keep an eye on this website for when it is: https://isthereanydeal.com/game/hollowknight/
1.5.78
What about it
i just need to update the game
?tag steambetas
Make sure you have the correct game version for your mods.
- Lumafly/Scarab takes version 1.5 (set beta to "None")
- Modinstaller takes version 1.4.3.2 (and is no longer supported)

have any new skins come out?
a few
the skin document hasn't been updated to reflect that yet but yes, new skins are constantly being made
alr thx when do they plan on updating
¯_(ツ)_/¯
not anytime soon iirc, the owner of the list is still keeping track of everything and plans to push and update with a bunch of new stuff, but when that'll be i have no idea
Dwarf made a thread of most of the stuff currently missing. It's in the ck tag
To add to this, if any full skins are missing from my post, feel free to @ me with a link to the skin, and I'll add it there

Ahh
Are extensions like pale court available from scarab?
yes, they're just mods, it just depends on whether the mod holders put it on scarab, which is highly likely since it's the way to get your mod out there
My game is not loading in
damn that sucks hope you fix it
zal :D
so clear
How to fix it
me when i take a picture of my screen instead of hitting the button on my keyboard specifically designed to screenshot it
poopie

I can't load mods, throws a help error in hollow knight?
are you using a pirated/cracked version?
Pirated

Maybe you can download it sometime
how do i fight the pale court bosses? I went to the area that was accessed through dung defender's statue in hall of gods, and then I went to Isma's statue but nothing happens when I dream nail it

🔹 With some particular exceptions, everything in the game beyond Dirtmouth is to be considered a spoiler. The exceptions were made due to them being basic mechanics, such as boss, map, ability, etc. “Charm” is not a spoiler, but anything more specific is.
🔹 An unnecessary spoiler is a spoiler (even a tagged one!) that was not directly requested by the user being helped, such as help referencing in-game content that the player has not necessarily reached - Charms build containing Charms they haven’t found, for example. These spoilers, though generally good-intentioned, can harm a player’s experience as any other spoiler would. Remember the game is non-linear; Always make sure to know what a player has and where they’ve reached. A simple screenshot of their map and inventory would tell you all you need to know.
ok its the same
wha
oh i see
@vagrant dust ||I have unlocked the fight against the disloyal lord and I have even done it||
...let me see here somethin
literally do not know, you only need Sisters of Battle unlocked to fight this boss....
Sisters of Battle is the fifth pantheon, right?
this should be the thing if you have everything alright
The mode?
you have Osmi and Satchel installed? you need them
Yes, they are installed automatically along with the tribe mod
but I think it's because I haven't passed the fifth pantheon yet.
if you have the statues and no other mod then it should work...
statues?
i think the only thing you need is Sisters of Battle
the image up there is the statue where you fight them
You need the sisters of battle statue
That's all I would be missing then.
ok now everything is cleared 
But wait, where do I get the sisters' statues?

Wall Cling to unlock now, Nix?

How it works
HKMP puts a copy of each player into each other players world.
Enemies have separate health and will usually be in different places; Items/abilities must be collected separately; and Breakable objects must be broken by each player. Player attacks 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. This page explains how you can use other mods and addons to synchronize some aspects, and improve your experience.

@ modding staff, ?tag gamepass needs to be updated to say lumafly instead of scarab+
what is the best modded boss?
where are the games audio files located and is it possible to remove/change them?
- The game's audio files cannot just be directly accessed from a folder in the game files, if that's what you mean.
- There is a pinned message
with a google drive of them all - You can use [[Custom Audio]] and [[CustomBGM]] to replace the various audios. Make sure you read the mods' ReadMes for how to use them, and keep in-mind that you'll need to convert the audio to .wav (preferably 44khz)
I saw the pinned message with them, yeah. I just wasn't sure which folder in the game files they were located in. Thanks
guys i installed some mods and then theres this text on the top left, that blocks a lot of the screen, any idea how to get rid of it?

is there any mod that shows grubs you didnt found or somthing like this ?
That is a vanilla feature, the collectors map
its time for a boss
Ban me now or all of you won’t get silk song and will remain virgins(not a good thing)
does pale court make changes to the normal game or just makes a completely new area?
nothing significant is changed really
it adds new stuff around the map
I don't think it has any "downside"
But it doesn’t change anything major, like installing it isn’t gonna lock you away from anything
i mean like new charms or collectables
i mean is there a new area where the new stuff is
so new save
ok
since all the content is endgame
thanks

- Automatic backups are called
user#.dat.bak#, where the first#is the save slot, and the second#is the backup number. You will usually have your last three backups - You restaore a backup by deleting the main file, and then removing the
.bak#part of the backup version
Modded Saves
- A modded save may also have a
user#.modded.json(and similarly named backup). This file and theuser#.datare part of the save
Where are the files?
- On windows, the default path for Save Files is:
%appdata%\..\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knight\- You should just copy and paste that path directly into the File Explorer path bar at the top.

- Various save files can be found in the "Saves" section of this page: https://www.speedrun.com/hollowknight/resources

"page not found"
Looks like there shouldn't be a "t" at the end of the url, well if you want to see many icons on your map then VanillaMapMod does this (or RandoMapMod if you're playing rando)
also that one is pretty detailed but I think https://www.hallownest.net/ is considered more high quality although it does not have the item overlay.
But there's no mod to make the in-game map look like that, partly because it doesn't actually fit together like the in-game map does
The issue with this one is that since the mossbag video the max zoom level (and the overall quality) has been significantly reduced to deal with the sudden raise in traffic on the website, there's still the message that says that they hope to be able to restore the original zoom level soon... Well, the original file is still available to download, but that's like a 880 MB png so not something a computer likes to open usually 
Yeah, that's unfotunate but even in the current state I think it's higher res & you can zoom in closer than the scripters war one
True, and the backgrounds are way more detailed too (I still can't imagine the amount of work it was to deal with all the parallax)
I made Dark Room Maps a few years ago, and I can confirm that it is a pain in the butt. I started working on Darknest ones, but didn't have the motivation to finish them, because I was never happy with the parallax 
Yes. You will have conflicts
