You shouldn't have benchwarp fix unless you need it, and charm crab is known to be buggy and interact poorly with other mods. If removing that doesn't resolve it you should create a #1057825333841240104 post with the info requested in the FAQ

small surge
#

i see. thank you

#

fixed it!!!

#

I guess it was the charm crab

#

but I was looking forward to the additions :((

#

any recommendations? there are so many mods that i feel overwhelmed

#

its my first time so I dont know what is good

dense wigeon
#

really depends what you're looking for. Most of the mods I personally use are either cosmetic or add-ons for randomizer

small surge
#

just additional content or bells and whistles

#

spice up the game for a second playthrough

#

not a fan of randomizers though

#

I like proper progression

dense wigeon
#

Not sure what you mean by proper progression - you can get things in multiple orders in the base game (although not quite as many ways as rando LOL) and randos are designed to be 100% completable to acquire all items

You can search for expansion mods in Lumafly, something like Glimmering Realm might be interesting for you.

small surge
#

isnt rando about getting things out of order? how is it progression if I get the best charm right at the start by luck?

#

Glimmering Realm, sounds nice. Thanks

You can see if there are any backupfiles saves locally, otherwise the only option would be your own manual backup or save editing back to the point you were

Save Files

What do save files looks like?

  • Each Hollow Knight save file is a user#.dat where # is the save slot for the file
  • You can rename user3.dat 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 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 restore 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 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\
    • 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 saves into chat

I need a specific type of save file

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

OMG THANK YOU! I've been looking at the Steam Library but I found the .dat files on LocalLow thank you really very much!! I believe I can do it now 🥰

Update: it worked!! I can't find other saves but I don't care about them that much this one is the most important for me and I found it thank you!!

  • Pail Curt Zailants 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.

lucid thicket
# dense wigeon The command was just a meme in the first place wasn't it?

I don't know what was the intention behind it initially, but I feel like it was used pretty seriously, as the "tag goodmods" in hk modding returns

I never added goodmods here, because I'm not a fan of it on Main.
It's a copy of my response to someone asks for certain mod recommendations (not even asking for "good mods"), and it got made into a tag by someone else
Which I agree to.
If we want to update it seriously though I feel like CK and rando deserve a place there too, although it's impossible to make an objective selection

dense wigeon
#

That reply may be what I'm thinking of.

I just think "good" is super subjective and it is missing a lot of obvious stuff and how long do we really want the tag to be? Although there are some other pretty chonky tags

covert estuary
#

Although yes, you will never completely get a grasp on what everyone finds 'good mods'

dense wigeon
#

"Tag goodmods" should just return: "use lunafly's search function to find what you're interested in" zote

Or something like just pointing out how subjective it is and to be more specific

HKMP (Hollow Knight Multiplayer)

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.

Public Servers:

General use (PVP enabled)
 IP:    hkmp.org
 PORT:  26950
Requires HkmpPouch```
```ml
Co-op (PVP disabled)
 IP:    hkmp.org
 PORT:  26951
Requires HkmpPouch```
```ml
Infection Tag
 IP:    tag.hkmp.org
 PORT:  26950
Requires HKMP Tag and at least three players```
*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!*

In vanilla that's first but you don't really know what's going to be first in rando.

hi guys, i've tryed a lot of mods on hollowknight, can you suggest me your favourites mods? mods like pale court or fyrenest that improve the gameplay with new features (no the randomizer please)

dense wigeon
#

There aren't a lot of mods like pale court or fyrenest, maybe Glimmering Realm if you haven't played it yet but it's unfortunate you're not interested in rando as it's one of the best hands down for replayability and one of the most popular overall.

red plinth
# small surge sorry been a while dont remember which is the first?

Fury of the fallen is the first charm you can find in vanilla, which gives you the highest damage multiplier in the game.

Rando in hk makes you try new routes you wouldn't have tried before, and rethink how to get through certain areas with different mobility options. Plus you get the thrill of opening presents without knowing if it will be something desperately useful like the ability to slash to the left or right, or something utterly useless like lore. All the fun and misery of a gacha game without any of the cost.

#

I recognise that it can be fun for many and I am not deny that. I was simply saying going from bum to god is my drug. Surprise mechanics dont fill me with pride and accomplishment xD

#

Again, no shade here xD

#

All the puns intended

dense wigeon
#

There aren't any surprise mechanics in rando unless you install other extra mods with them. I think you don't have a very good understanding of how rando actually works.

red plinth
# small surge the one where you have to pogo to get? Come on, that technically really the firs...

People with experience in games that you can pogo can and absolutely have gotten that charm first time through. Just like I've seen players reach mawlek during their blind playthroughs without claw.

Also presumably, you're not a new player, so it doesn't matter if new players are less likely to find it if the argument is you specifically don't want early access to powerful things. If anything, you're more likely to gain power quickly in a vanilla playthrough because you'll know where to go, where as in a rando, you're more likely to have to fight things under equipped because you no longer know where to go to get the thing you need. The first time I did a rando, for example, I never got the ability to attack to the right. I had to beat radiance without my right slash.

Nothing wrong with randos not being your flavor of fun, of course, but HK isn't really the kind of game that breaks from getting a specific item early.

vanilla bosses, not really

are you planning to play it on a fully completed file or a brand new one

it works with new files, however id recommend using a complete file to play all the content

Custom Knight

This is the mod for reskinning The Knight and other things in the game

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 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):

Windows won't let me open the Mod Installer

  • If there's a Pop Up that says "Windows Protected your PC", then click "More Info" (on the left), and then a "Run Anyway" button will appear to click.
    • This happens because Windows automatically blocks apps that don't pay Microsoft and go through the process to have their app Verified by Windows.

This is commonly because one or more issues:

  • The installer was left in a .zip or in the Download folder. (It's recommended to put it on your Desktop or on the same Harddrive as your game installation)
  • The installer may need to be run as Administrator (Right-Click it, and select "Run as Administrator")
  • The installer is being blocked / removed by built-in security software, such as Windows Defender
  • The installer is being blocked / removed by third-party security software (Avast / Norton / MacAfee / etc)

I have a 112% Save File and am interested in adding the Pale Court mod, but I'm afraid that it will wipe my achievements (yes I'm paranoid) since I believe (though am not sure of and could easily be wrong about) that you cant get achievements with mods installed to prevent cheating, but I'm not sure if it wipes existing ones too. I have every achievement I can get on that file and it would be a shame to lose them. If anyone can confirm that I'm just overly paranoid, it would be greatly appreciated.

Modding and Achievements

  • Mods do not normally prevent you from getting Achievements.
    • If you want to prevent them, you can use the Disable Achievements mod.
    • If a mod changes/removes something that's part of an achievement trigger, then you won't get that achievement.
  • In many cases, achievements are still earned, but the pop-ups do not come up when modding.
  • In some rare cases, players report not getting achievements when modding. While this is not normal, it should be mentioned that it can happen.
    • This is often tied to them doing something like skipping something with QoL (such as credits), and thus skipping the actual trigger for the Achievement.

Hey weary, sorry to bother but if you don't mind me asking
The HK Wiki recently started to create wiki pages for hollow knight mods and toboter gave permission for us to create a page for the glimmering realm, I started making a page for it and wanna include some images of the map in the gallery section. Would you be ok with us using your image for the mods wiki page? credit will be given, of course.

fathom wigeonBOT
#

Modding "Xbox Games" versions (Gamepass / Microsoft's App Store):

Note: this is for Desktop/Laptop. You cannot mod the game on Xbox consoles

  • Use Lumafly (it has additional support for this version that other installers currently don't have)
  • Right-Click the Lumafly.exe and select "Run as Administrator"
    • It should automatically find the install and ask if it's correct. If it doesn't find it, then you will need to link it to the Hollow Knight.exe found in C:\XboxGames\Hollow Knight\Content by default.
  • After installing / installing any mods, wait about a minute before launching the game (this is because Windows does a weird thing for Xbox Games things, and it makes copies of files)
    If you have further issues, then please see #1090079233520451714 and create a #1057825333841240104 post if needed.

#

Also, to complete the answer to the question you asked in #hk-help , depending on what you're looking for there can be several options, Pale Court is really good, if you want more platforming you should try Test of Teamwork, and if you're looking for a sort of "second quest" you should try The Glimmering Realm (which you can only play on new saves)

crisp mica
#

should i combine them

#

and can i combine them

atomic oriole
#

the qol ones yes, the expansion ones might have some compatibility issues between each other I think

lucid thicket
#

The Glimmering Realm must be played on its own, the other 2 might work together but they weren't designed to be compatible

crisp mica
#

more platforming means more parcour right?

atomic oriole
#

I personally use QoL + Benchwarp + DebugMod + Pale Court + Custom Knight

Yeah, screenshots of Scarab's Menu mean basically nothing

  • You should use Lumafly if you want an accurate installer menu
  • Looking at the list in-game or at your modlog is more meaningful

Hey

#

Hello!

#

Imma just drop this here

#

Radiance breaks free and becomes the new ruler of Hallownest in absence of the Pale King. Vessels are now considered traitors and are hunted by bounty hunters. All of Pale King's symbolism is being destroyed and the White Lady is killed.

#

This mod is going to add 6 new huge locations with new enemies: Clan of Water Striders, Wasp Nest, Abyssal Womb, Kingdom of Termites, Shaman Grotto and Mite Territories.

Clan of Water Striders.

They live on top and beneath the Blue Lake. They worship the spirits of water and life and pray for them to keep them safe from the disease. They exile all of those who show any signs of Radiance's influence. You'll first see some striders aimlessly walking on Blue Lake. Then you'll see a guard, who'll fight you, but after the fight will realize that we're not infected and that we're a vessel. Upon that realization the guard will take you to the Clan to show you to the Leader and introduce us to one of our escaped siblings.

Wasp Nest.

On top of the Crystal Peak there live warriors of the Wasp Nest. They are all knights of their Queen and will attack you once you fall from the place on top of the world where a heeled Radiance statue is. However, the queen will intervene herself, saying that they need a vessel to protect themselves from the Radiance.

Abyssal Womb.

In the Abyss right beneath the Palace Grounds there lies the place of birth of all of the creatures of the Abyss. Empty and soulless they crawl on walls and fly around. This is a place where all creatures of Abyss are formed and brought to not life, but existence. We'll get to explore this area to possibly find a place to belong as yet another abyssal creation.

errant lance
#

Will there be cherry bombs

silver pelican
#

Kingdom of Termites.

To the right from the Queen's Gardens, right above Distant village there lies, engraved into stone, the Kingdom of Termites. There we'll find those hardworking bugs that are driven by desire to enlarge their kingdom, ruled by Termite King and Queen. After exploring the area a little you'll find out why they are so insistent in their attempts to drill through the rock - it is to find their god who was trapped in stone according to a prophecy seen by the Queen.

Shaman Grotto

The Elder Snail, the first ever Shaman, gave their life to give all for their disciples a shelter and with the help of crystal magic transformed into a giant crystal fortress, where any and all of those who know shaman magic can find a refuge. Upon entering the fortress that can be accessed by going to the left from Wasp Nest, breaking a fragile wall where we talk with Quirrel or flying to the right from Howling Cliffs, our magic will be tested by the single shaman who uses a nail. After proving that we are worthy of the name of a shaman we can explore the get the Shaman Bead that signifies our title and explore the new location.

Mite Territories.

If you're traveling by a tram between Deepnest and Ancient Basin or diving in the Junk Pit, beware - you are entering the Territories of Mites. These anarchic bugs may seem dangerous - because they are! However, the Bloody Mother, the Strongest mite to ever live, takes pity on escaped vessels and will intervene if other mites will try to hurt you and protect you - along with two of your younger siblings.

It's also going to introduce new ability - Dive. We'll need to to access the Striders' clan underwater, a new location in Greenpath that's under acid, a fraction in the Mite Territories and the Abyssal Womb as well as many other less significant locations.

#

On top of all that it will introduce 9 new charms and a new spell and nail upgrade.

Tough wing (°°) - enemies that deal 2 damage per hit become 1 damage per hit.

Shaman Bead (°°) - the nail becomes weaker, the spells become stronger, more mana collected per hit.

Guru's Head (°°°°) - the nail hits slower but the Nail Arts charge up almost instantly, adds a new Nail Art. Combined with Nailmaster's Glory nail hits are replaced by Nail Arts.

Shadow Spear (°°°) - nail and spells become a little weaker, the dash becomes longer. Combined with Sharp Shadow - 2 x times damage of the nail and the dash recharges a lot faster.

Mare Wielder (°°) - nail is replaced by Dream Nail. Its attack is 1,5 times slower than regular nail's. Gives 16 mana per hit, deals double damage.

Black Helmet (°°°) - you gain masks instead of mana, 7 hits to restore a mask.

Lesser Mandible (°) - each hit makes the enemy 1,5% more vulnerable

Mossy Mask (°°) - replaces Vengeful Spirit/Shade Soul with 3 Mossers (summons). Spends 66 soul per cast. You can only have 9 at a time. Mossers deal the damage equal to that of the nail times 1,5. Have the same synergies as Wieversong.

Crystal Stinger (°°°) - stuns the enemy that you've hit at least once for 0,1 seconds once in 3 seconds.

Spells upgrade.

Deep in the Mite territories there lives a peaceful snail who entered those lands to contain her blood lust. If you manage to defeat her, she'll realize that instead of concealing her feelings she can let them out in a spar with a worthy opponent. In return for this realization she'll gift you a piece of her blood lust in a form of a spell transformation. You can choose which upgrade to use - shade or blood lust, on your spells.

#

Nail upgrade.

In the Shaman Grotto there lives a snail that decided to use his magic as a mean to create - he forges magical weapons using his spells and crystals from nearby Crystal Peak. He is a creative person who loves experimenting and in exchange for a special crystal from your arsenal he'll upgrade your nail. It'll collect 2 more mana per hit, but at the cost of us giving Deep Focus to him to experiment.

That is going to be a huge mod. I've got all the concepts and once I get my hands on a tablet I can do most of the artwork. However I still need people to code this and help me with animating the sprites since I'm a complete zero with using coding and animation programs.

Dm me for information if you're interested in this and/or are able to help! I'll gladly accept any help!

but there's basically no room

Oh my

I made a mistake

#

I wanted to say to the left

#

Not to the right

broken barn
#

yaeh that makes sense

#

👍

silver pelican
#

🤦

broken barn
#

Lesser Mandible (°) - each hit makes the enemy 1,5% more vulnerable

#

what does this mean

#

it takes less time to stun?

errant lance
#

Vulnerability usually means enemies take more damage

silver pelican
#

It means that with each hit the enemy takes 1,5 percent more damage

#

Yes

#

And with each hit it adds another 1,5 percent

broken barn
#

okay so with pure nail + strength, an additional 1.5% would be...

silver pelican
#

So you can use spells and they'll deal massive damage with these

broken barn
#

still 32.

#

1.5 isn't even enough to increase nail dmg by one

silver pelican
#

But you don't just hit the enemy once, right?

broken barn
#

damage is rounded to the nearest multiple of one in hollow knight

#

decimals don't exist

silver pelican
#

You hit 10 times and there's an increase of 15 percent

#

That's a lot already

fierce flame
#

which would only be useful for bosses

#

since most standard enemies die in 3 hits or less

broken barn
silver pelican
#

Yes, but do you struggle that much with travelling or Colosseums?

broken barn
#

your charm. 1 notch, +1.5% damage

#

I'd say you should just make it a solid dmg increase of 16% or 17%

silver pelican
#

It's not strength, it's a multiplyer of damage

#

From any source

broken barn
#

because that'd match the value strength has per notch

silver pelican
#

You hit the enemy a little and then spam spells

#

They'll deal massive damage

broken barn
#

but 1.5% is too little

silver pelican
#

It stacks

broken barn
#

5% or 10% would be better

#

oh then 3%

#

because decimals are just wonky

silver pelican
#

Ok, 2%

broken barn
#

also, in the pins there's a link to the modding server

silver pelican
#

Because it's still a 1 notch

broken barn
#

right here

silver pelican
#

I've been there

errant lance
#

The only thing I see interesting within the charms in my personal opinion is the mossy summons, depending on how they operate.

Considering the skillset of players you almost have to make things very interesting with risk vs rewards. Some of these are straight upgrades / side grades without leaving any interesting interactions with the player and they're environment

broken barn
#

modding charms is hard because TC got all the good ones

errant lance
#

Also this is just my personal opinion but it definitely worries me how many friendly faces you'll meet. I'd much rather story behind a boss or have a boss defend something and you gain access when you kill it.

Friendly faces that are memorable in HK are placed in areas where they pop up in multiple locations or are in dirtmouth. A hub that the player visits continuously. Marissa and Vespa are notable but often forgetful. Same with midwife

silver pelican
#

I think they are very interesting

#

What do you not like about the charms?

#

My favorite is Guru's head since I'm a huge fan of Nail Arts

errant lance
#

straight upgrade / side grade

silver pelican
#

They are not that

#

They take away something to give something in return

#

To think about it, my mod is more of a DLC

errant lance
#

All mods are downloadable content

silver pelican
#

Yes, but it's not a reskin or a ramndomiser, it adds more content, characters and lore

errant lance
#

Sidegrade

(gaming) A choice that is comparatively different but not objectively better or worse than another.

silver pelican
#

There's a lot of things I didn't mention in the description because they're lesser details

#

Oh

#

Sorry, I didn't know what that word meant, I'm not a native speaker

errant lance
#

One might say that black helmet is a downgrade because it's like 3 hits I think to start a heal. Whereas this one is 7 hits. And takes away the players ability of choice ( of how to use mana )

silver pelican
#

But you don't have to worry about you'r hp at all with that

errant lance
#

That's what makes HKs gameplay loop fun. You're made to keep track of that

silver pelican
#

It'll heal instantaniously and you'll be able to heal even with bosses that don't give windows

errant lance
#

All bosses have healing windows

silver pelican
#

You can use those windows for something else - like smacking the boss harder or repositioning yourself

#

I think it's a good charm overall

errant lance
#

And if they take damage they are choosing to either use that time to heal or opt for gaining more mana

silver pelican
#

You can combine it with mare wielder and get mana from dreamnailing bosses

errant lance
#

It seems to make how the player plays more linear than dynamic

#

At that point I'm just using quick slash and strength. Dream nail is just gonna cut out DPS

silver pelican
#

It's not a charm made for optimal gameplay

#

Like any charm that focuses on healing

errant lance
#

And look how few uses those charms get

silver pelican
#

Wdym? Both Mare Wielder and Guru's head can reaplace your regular attacks

#

I love NAs and I'd love to be able to use them instead of regular nail attacks

#

Also, a new Nail Art will help in Colosseums if you're worried it'll be bad there

#

It's a giant downslash

#

All the charms can be used by players differently

errant lance
#

Black helmet looks like it will disable soul collection. Guru's head looks interesting at least. You have to make sure it's comparable or better dps than using a regular nail

silver pelican
#

It's good for bosses like NKG

#

I have him beaten on Radiant along with Grimm because they are rarely there to smack them

#

But if you smack harder

#

Like with a Nail Art

#

It'll be more dps

errant lance
#

You can get at the very least 3 hits on each Grimm attack

silver pelican
#

Yes

errant lance
#

Which out DPS nail arts. While nail arts also lock you in place

silver pelican
#

And 1 Great Slash deals 4 times damage the normal attack does

#

I looked up the numbers

#

3 hits < 4x attack

errant lance
#

Nail arts are 2.5x a nail hit

#

With strength. Less than 2x

silver pelican
#

Hmm

#

@knotty imp for this #hk-help message
Pale champion is one of few mods that have yet to be ported to the latest update (1.5) so if you really want to play it you will have to downpatch and install it (look in the pins for the 1.4.3.2 ressources)

That being said most mods and modded bosses are now on 1.5 and can be installed using lumafly

That is if you are still looking for it

# cloud pewter How much of it is randomised?

I have hand made arena configurations with a list of spots enemies can spawn, after that it just picks a few valid enemies and spawns them. Items spawn based on 3 tiers mostly randomly… most items need a condition to spawn (usually just jot having the item, but for example nailmasters glory only spawns if u have nail arts) There are 3-4 bosses that can spawn at the end of each “floor” rn I have 4 floors done :) I hope to make one and add more items and mechanics :)

#

just a quick question, is it normal for nail to be extremely weak in randomizer?

#

cant find a setting related to it

minor hawk
#

Randomiser should not affect the nail

#

But many other mods can cause such things

split flame
#

issue seems to only pop up when i start a randomizer run

#

regular files are fine

minor hawk
#

Weird, could you post a screenshot of your mod list/title screen ?

#

Is the reduce nail damage button bound to something you use? What is your actual nail strength?

lunar root
#

Also dont use benchwarp fix unless needed to fix the specific problem it solves

#

for example the vengefly takes like 5 or 6 hits instead of 3

dense wigeon
#

Can you answer what damage your nail actually is? Also ping isn't needed

split flame
#

how would i know what damage it is..?

dense wigeon
#

And if reduce damage is on something like what you ise to move or slash, you could feasibly be reducing your nail before you meet any enemy

HKMP (Hollow Knight Multiplayer)

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.

Starting Pale Court

  • Install it using Lumafly
  • You must have ||All dreamers||
  • You must have ||defeated a specific boss:|| ||White Defender||
  • You must then find the location that connects each Knight to the world. You can watch the Launch Trailer if you want directions where to go.

Known problems with Pale Court

  • MAKE SURE YOU ARE USING THE LATEST UPDATED VERSION
  • AdditionalMaps, Randomizer 4, Extra MenuBackgrounds, EssenceAlways (and any mod that attempts to force Essence drops) aren't compatible, and will prevent you from being able to enter fights.
  • Using a BenchWarp Deployed Bench in new areas will break the file
    • If you accidentally do this, then close the game, disable Benchwarp, then open the file again. Get off the bench you spawn at, and sit down again. Then save+quit, and you should be able to enable Benchwarp again.
    • Alternatively, you can open your user#.modded.json for that file, and edit "atDeployedBench": true, -> "atDeployedBench": false, . You can type ?tag savefiles for more information.
  • HK Vocalized may prevent you from accessing fights
    • (This appears to not be consistently reproducible, but if you can't enter fights, then try disabling it)
  • Skill Upgrades will prevent Charms from working correctly
  • Hollow Point will not work if Pale Court is installed
  • Any mod that adds new Charms may prevent Charms from working.

If you're having other issues, then please read #1090079233520451714 and create a #1057825333841240104 post with the requested info and any details. Be aware that Pale Court was not designed to be compatible with other mods, and you will usually need to choose between using either Pale Court or the other mod(s).

Modding "Xbox Games" versions (Gamepass / Microsoft's App Store):

Note: this is for Desktop/Laptop. You cannot mod the game on Xbox consoles

  • Use Lumafly (it has additional support for this version that other installers currently don't have)
  • Right-Click the Lumafly.exe and select "Run as Administrator"
    • It should automatically find the install and ask if it's correct. If it doesn't find it, then you will need to link it to the Hollow Knight.exe found in C:\XboxGames\Hollow Knight\Content by default.
  • After installing / installing any mods, wait about a minute before launching the game (this is because Windows does a weird thing for Xbox Games things, and it makes copies of files)
    If you have further issues, then please see #1090079233520451714 and create a #1057825333841240104 post if needed.

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 1221 into 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 hollowpirate

    • 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.

Common issues

  • Make sure that you apply skins from the Pause Menu (Options > Mods > Custom Knight), when you have your save file loaded.

Modding "Xbox Games" versions (Gamepass / Microsoft's App Store):

Note: this is for Desktop/Laptop. You cannot mod the game on Xbox consoles

  • Use Lumafly (it has additional support for this version that other installers currently don't have)
  • Right-Click the Lumafly.exe and select "Run as Administrator"
    • It should automatically find the install and ask if it's correct. If it doesn't find it, then you will need to link it to the Hollow Knight.exe found in C:\XboxGames\Hollow Knight\Content by default.
  • After installing / installing any mods, wait about a minute before launching the game (this is because Windows does a weird thing for Xbox Games things, and it makes copies of files)
    If you have further issues, then please see #1090079233520451714 and create a #1057825333841240104 post if needed.

#

so ive beaten the game on xbox and wanted to try the pc version for modding, i was wondering if there was a difference between lumafly and scarab?

lucid thicket
#

Lumafly is more reliable than scarab, as the latter can fail to update mods/install some files/move files around, so with scarab you're likely to get something to break without any apparent reason

so for Pale Court all I need to do is ||fight the white defender||? don't need to talk to the nailsmith?

dense wigeon

Nailsmith has nothing to do with pale court

#

?tag palecourt

fathom wigeonBOT
#

Starting Pale Court

  • Install it using Lumafly
  • You must have ||All dreamers||
  • You must have ||defeated a specific boss:|| ||White Defender||
  • You must then find the location that connects each Knight to the world. You can watch the Launch Trailer if you want directions where to go.

Known problems with Pale Court

  • MAKE SURE YOU ARE USING THE LATEST UPDATED VERSION
  • AdditionalMaps, Randomizer 4, Extra MenuBackgrounds, EssenceAlways (and any mod that attempts to force Essence drops) aren't compatible, and will prevent you from being able to enter fights.
  • Using a BenchWarp Deployed Bench in new areas will break the file
    • If you accidentally do this, then close the game, disable Benchwarp, then open the file again. Get off the bench you spawn at, and sit down again. Then save+quit, and you should be able to enable Benchwarp again.
    • Alternatively, you can open your user#.modded.json for that file, and edit "atDeployedBench": true, -> "atDeployedBench": false, . You can type ?tag savefiles for more information.
  • HK Vocalized may prevent you from accessing fights
    • (This appears to not be consistently reproducible, but if you can't enter fights, then try disabling it)
  • Skill Upgrades will prevent Charms from working correctly
  • Hollow Point will not work if Pale Court is installed
  • Any mod that adds new Charms may prevent Charms from working.

If you're having other issues, then please read #1090079233520451714 and create a #1057825333841240104 post with the requested info and any details. Be aware that Pale Court was not designed to be compatible with other mods, and you will usually need to choose between using either Pale Court or the other mod(s).

Editing save files

You can edit various values of save files. Below are different available methods.

  • MoreSaves Mod | Install
  • With the MoreSaves mod installed, you can edit save files from the in-game Menu. Either from the Main Menu or Pause Menu, go to Options > Mods > MoreSaves to edit save files in game.
  • QoL mod | Install
    • If you open a save file with QoL installed, you'll have an extra file called user#.json (where # is the file number), which can be edited using Notepad or a similar text editor. If you do not know where your saves are located, type ?tag saves for more information
  • DebugMod | Install
    • 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
    • Find the Save File, upload it to the website, and make the edits. It will Download as save file for Slot 1, so rename it if needed. If you do not know where your saves are located, type ?tag saves for more information

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.

use this installer ^ to install Custom Knight, then see these resources for using the mod:

fathom wigeonBOT
#

Custom Knight

This is the mod for reskinning The Knight and other things in the game

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 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):

Enabling the api doesn't add any mods, you have to do that separately

#

?tag controller

fathom wigeonBOT
#

Common fixes for controller issues

Try these separately first, but if they don't work, then you may need to try a combination of them.

  • Use Steam's controller settings, enable Steam Inputs from the game properties, and check controller configuration support through Steam's Big Picture mode
  • 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 a program to map controller inputs to keyboard inputs, either through Steam or a third party program
    • This is usually only necessary for unusual controllers, or when the above options don't work.

anyone know how to get the grub skin from custom knight mod to work? it shows up in the skin list but whenever i apply the skin i just have the regular knight and not the grub

Usually that's either because you didn't extract it or because the folder structure is wrong, it has to match this example:

#

Well, you should send a similar screenshot to this one to be sure

#

this is what it looks like

lucid thicket
#

The folder structure is indeed wrong, it should go like Custom Knight -> Skins -> grub skin -> sprite sheets of the skin, here you have 2 extra folders

dark yacht
#

i deleted the extra folder idk what else to do tho

#

it just didnt add the extra files when i extracted

lucid thicket
#

You don't need to have as many files as there are on the screenshot of the bot's message, what matters is the folder structure, in your case you just need to take the folder named "grub" and place it directly in the Skins folder
