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

• 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 .rar or other archived format, then you will need to extract it with something like 7zip

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

like when i am teleporting the stag animation is not there

[wild ivy]

does anyone know how to fix "timed out" while trying to connect to friends HKMP server, we still dk if we are using it right

[small rivet]

Hello Guys, Im trying to make a Savegameanalyser and im currently stuck at finding some values in the json file since team cherry was not that consistent in naming the things like they named them in the game. Do we have some sort of extracted code with a list of everything and their name in the code (MonoBehaviour?)?
https://www.reddit.com/r/Silksong/comments/1ng54do/list_of_requirements_to_get_100_completion/

I found alot here but sadly not everything

[somber crag]

What's the best between this and modinstaller 2 for Windows?

[scenic snow]

.

[swift steppe]

will installing hallownest vocalized prevent me from getting some acheivements?

[wild reef]

I got a weird mod idea.

How about a mod… where after killing certain bosses… enemies related to that boss start appearing more often?

Example, kill Gruz Mother, now there’s Gruzzers in, I dunno, Resting Grounds.

[nova stratus]

how do i get savestates?

[sharp parrot]

do || pale court || and || transcendance || not break the game when together
( i dont know if i have to ||||| them but i want to be safe )

[lean steppe]

Can you simultaniosly wear multiple (different level) grimmchilds? The same way you can wear cmf + gc with carefree grimm

Im now curious how that mod does stuff,i should look into it

[lean steppe]

(Since cfm is just gc lvl5,so this question popped up in my head)

[covert estuary]

Lumafly is for current patch and has more mods. There are almost no reasons to use modinstaller 2 instead

[somber crag]

Thanks

[median musk]

hey everytime i try modding hk it does this

can anyone help ?

?tag crash

[fathom wigeon]

Hollow Knight Crashes upon opening after installing mods ⚠️

This error can happen for several reasons. Read through all of the common ones below to see which might apply to you.

• "Hollow Knight isn't responding"
  • This isn't actually a crash, you just need to wait and let the game load. This is common with mods that have a lot of Pre-loading (like Pale Court, Enemy Randomizer, WeaverCore, and mods that load a lot of skins/audio).
• Your game patch doesn't match your installer
  • Modding is now done on patch 1.5.78+, required by all current installers. If you're on Steam, make sure your Beta is set to "None"
  • "Mod Installer" (Zote) and Mod Installer 2 work with version 1.4.3.2, and should no longer be used. Tutorials saying to use these are outdated.
  • There aren't installers for other patches, like 1.2.2.1. For speedrunning mod help, type ?tag 1221 into chat for more info.
• Something didn't install correctly
  • Right-Click the installer, and select "Run as Administrator"
  • Ensure that the installer isn’t in a .zip file (if you got it as a .zip, you'll need to Extract it)
  • Make sure that the Installer is out of your Downloads folder
• You're on Linux/Steamdeck
  • Add -force-opengl to the steam launch options.
• Your game is cracked/pirated
  • Piracy is not supported in most communities for games, and discussing it is against Discord Community Guidelines. Mods aren't considered compatible with pirated copies, which will not get support in the main servers.
  • Modding is only supported on the official computer versions from Steam/GoG/Xbox Games.
  • If you do not have a supported version, please get one and you will get support with modding. Requesting help 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/

[median musk]

tbh i read it and still dont understand :(

[spark valve]

Random Companions has this option, but it seems to be purely visual change. (afaik children won't attack if charm is lvl 1 even if they look like lvl 4)

[pearl pivot]

pls who can to show me an easy mod?

for holliw knight

hollow knight?

[lean steppe]

Thats not exactly what i asked tho
I'll write back after i check what carefree grimm does

[strong wyvern]

are there any video guides on updating from scarab to lumafly?

[hallow pasture]

how would i go about modding hall of gods into silksong

idk how much the engine changed so

[dry snow]

imagine someone makes a mod that fuses pharloom and hallownest and you can switch through TK and hornet (possibly more)

[vagrant orbit]

You just download Lumafly. There's no extra steps

[small rivet]

Hello guys, im trying to get all the internal names of items in order to read the savegame json file. Is there a methode to read the games code / what dataminers do? I did get alot of internal names out of my savegame but some items are not obtainable in one walkthrought and some names dont make sense at all

[vagrant orbit]

I'm not really understanding what you're looking for- it sounds like you're asking for a way to read data, but then it sounds like you already figured that out, but just don't like the result?

At any rate there's a website that reads save files for both games (which should be in one of the pins), but they're also dedicated dev channels on the modding server of you just generally have questions

https://bloodorca.github.io/hollow/

[strong wyvern]

anything special to remove scarab? or can I just delete it

[vagrant orbit]

You can just delete the exe

[waxen flower]

question

[fierce flame]

answer

[waxen flower]

is there a complete grub skin with animations in this server or no ?

[fierce flame]

no that skin was never finished by the author

[waxen flower]

sad tysm

also i had a sugestion for your skins and ect maybe make a channel with them all in it so then people can get to it easier and have only admins and skin makers be able to put stuff in there Just a thought

[nocturne summit]

Hey is there a guide to manually install mods?

[sweet chasm]

you just need scarab and there are all HK mods

im pretty sure they linked an video somewhere

[patent lotus]

I am on an office laptop and can't execute exe files 😔 so I can't use scarab/other mod installera

[sweet chasm]

oh that sucks

What do save files looks like?

• Each Silksong 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

Auto Saves

• Along with user#.dat, Silksong also introduces Restore_Points# for each save file as a way of going back to key points in your save.
• These can be copied & backed up the same way a user#.dat file would be (see above)
• Using them requires the number used for Restore_Points# to have a user#.dat file. Aftwerwards, open the game and hit the 🔄 button below the save and select the point you want to go back to.
  • WARNING: Reverting to a previous auto save will overwrite your current save file.
  • Example:

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

• For other operating systems, type ?tag sssaves into chat

[halcyon trail]

i need help installing randomizer

[jagged lava]

Okay so, to make sure i don't muck this up,
All I'd have to do to copy a save file is copy the user1.dat files, and rename the copies user2.dat right?

Prolly a stupid question but I get so scared messing with any types of files on my computer

I was an impatient piece of shrapnel and decided to do it anyways,
And I did it successfully yayyy

[tight isle]

Can I pleasee gt a ps4 save file

[civic garden]

Any way to get rid of this?

Like just the message itself lol

[green tree]

i have an idea for a mod where your damage is reduced on consecutive hits with mash slash

like the initial hit is full damage and then conssecutive hits are like 50% or 30% until you havcent attacked for however long the base attack speed is

[sour parrot]

[hazy stone]

Not necessarily modding but I was directed to these channels and this isn't really worth a thread, but anyone know what flags to change in your save to bring back the ||First Sinner?|| It was by far the best fight in the game and I'm looking to refight it
Just ||encounteredFirstWeaver|| and ||defeatedFirstWeaver|| didn't do it

Nor did unbreaking the ||cell door rings||

[west scaffold]

guys, if i were to make a ss mod, how would i do it do you think?

[tranquil robin]

hello guys ! there is a custom skin mod for silksong ? ^^

[dry snow]

Not yet

At least, not fully

[tranquil robin]

okay !

[bright mango]

is anyone gonna make a mod that brings hollow knight enemies to silksong or vise versa

[lament condor]

Has there ever been a mod that lets you actually save with the benches in pantheon of hallownest?

I want to fight Abs Rad but I don't have time to keep doing long asf runs just to potentially die to Pure Vessel each time

I hate that damn fight

[lucid thicket]

If you want to practice you can just fight absrad in Hall of Gods

Unless you mean without having reached her even once

GodSeekerPlus has plenty of Godhome-related options - including practicing segments of p5 or unlocking bosses in HoG, you'll want to browse through them to see which one fits what you want to do

[lament condor]

I haven't reached it

My runs die on Pure Vessel since he's the only boss I can't beat consistently despite practicing

phase 1 is just really frustrating with his slash attack since I don't always have iframe dash off cooldown so it's either parry or woops you lost half your health

[lucid thicket]

I always jump - double jump above that one (and pogo if I feel like it)

[lament condor]

I try to as well, but at point blank range that doesn't work

Not enough time

[lucid thicket]

There is if you don't try to fit too many attacks

[lament condor]

Losing 4 masks each time it happens is frustrating

[lament condor]

No I mean you literally cannot get above him in time if you're standing directly in front of him when he starts it

You have to parry

I tried

a lot

Even attempted to use desolate dive to iframe it but there's not enough time unless you're already midair before the animation starts

I beat it once on ascended after fighting it for like an hour

[lucid thicket]

You never have to parry in this fight. It's either bad positionning and/or timing, but that's more for #hk-help. It is a difficult boss, an hour to get an ascended clear doesn't sound excessive to me

[lament condor]

It is when translating that into pantheon of hallownest attempts is the concern

and calling it bad positioning or timing when there's no way to know his next move is kinda silly

It's just bad luck if you happen to be in the wrong spot at the wrong time with that slash

Everything else is fine

[lucid thicket]

That's gonna sound stupid, but if there's a wrong spot then don't be there. The rythm at which PV attacks is quite consistent, so I personally tend to start a jump away from them before I even know which attack is coming

[lament condor]

Is there any mod that allows you to set a save location or something if this doesn't have a pantheon bench option?

[lament condor]

I take opportunities to punish whenever I can, and as long as he specifically doesn't do that one move it's always fine

If I don't the fight drags on till I die anyway

[lucid thicket]

You can't set a save location at a pantheon bench due to how pantheons work, but as I said you can use GodSeekerPlus to do a chosen segment of p5

[turbid jay]

Hey guys, I want to make a simple mod for silksong. Something like pressing a button will take away a health point. Any documentation on how to start with this?

[lament condor]

Well duh that's why I asked if there's a mod to set a save anywhere

But yeah I suppose just doing the last segment would work

[lucid thicket]

Well if you die because you chose to ignore an attack then that's not a better result

[lament condor]

"Chose to ignore an attack" no it's just an avoidable fucking move if you're in the wrong spot at start up. That's the most unfair thing that can be in a boss fight that hits for 4 masks.
If I can't reasonably react to what a boss does during it's tell, it's a poorly designed attack.

I'll stand by that

By comparison NKG is a phenomenal boss fight because you have a reasonable and fair window to react to anything he does, and I can't say the same for Pure Vessel because of this one instance that makes it feel frustrating.

[toxic marlin]

Does anyone know where to get skins for silksong like for hk but for hornet

[tight isle]

Bro can someone give me a ps4 save file for hollow knight, just wanna fight radiance

[amber pumice]

hello someone can help me with the download of the impossible any%, or is the wrong channel?

[keen fjord]

i just noticed no one ever made a quirrel skin for the knight im assuming cause size

[dry snow]

Theoretically you can make it smaller

[keen fjord]

i guess so

[uncut notch]

They made a grimm skin even though he's tall asf

And a hornet skin

[keen fjord]

ya your right

[uncut notch]

How do u even mod silksong

I did almost everything to do idk what to do or what mods to get even

[dry snow]

I tried looking for one, but someone already asked that question 1+ year ago

for quirrel skin I mean

[uncut notch]

That's crazy

I would think almost every char would have one by now

[dry snow]

making sum like this for quirrel could be really hard I think

[toxic marlin]

How do you

make

hornet skin

[dry snow]

wdym? you want to make it by yourself or play as it

[devout lintel]

mod idea: immortal aspid.

You're immortal to all forms of damage.
BUT.
You are constantly chased by a primal aspid, who is also immortal. Taking ANY form of damage from the aspid (contact, projectile) will instantly kill you.
based off the immortal snail meme

[toxic marlin]

I want to make skin for hornet silk song

[dry snow]

I have no idea

[fading agate]

guys

is there a skin list

[dry snow]

yeah?

[fading agate]

i want grimm skin

[dry snow]

uh i got it

[fading agate]

can u give me the link of it

[dry snow]

I dont think I can send it here but in dm's..?

[fading agate]

ok

[fading root]

You can Absolutely dodge this attack consistently without shade cloak, you have to jump and pogo over him. You have to be so quick with it that you need to have already anticipated the patterns in which he will choose to do this attack, or just be really quick at reading the telegraph.

If you wanna complain about game design, talk about radiant uumuu or radiant markoth. Leave my boy Pure Vessel alone, it's basically a perfect fight.

[devout lintel]

it also follows you in boss fights

[lament condor]

I already mentioned that there is literally not enough time to do even 1 full jump before he attacks even if you do it the moment his tell begins. I've practiced it for over an hour today and I'm certain of it. You need to already be far enough away for the first hit to miss you or else you will be hit. There's no pattern to anticipate because he has several moves he can do at any given time up close.

I'm talking about point blank when he starts up

It's parry or be hit.

[fading root]

Yeah I know what you mean because I always try to be right next to him, point blank, to punish his attacks. It's absolutely brutal how fast it comes out but it IS pogo-able, trust

Maybe watch some radiant fights on YouTube, see what they do

There are definitely people alive today who beat PV on radiant consistently, for fun

[uncut notch]

Bro you Almost always have enough time to get your shade cloak

Unless you hit his parry you can easily shade cloak

You just need to take it slow

And you can jump bro just double jump really quickly it's faster

[lament condor]

You absolutely do not

and ffs how many times do I have to tell you there is literally no time

I spent over an hour just fighting this motherfucker today

unless you can say the same I'm sure my memory is a lot clearer

[uncut notch]

I'm not trying to hate but I think it's a skill issue

[lament condor]

It's the only part of the fight that's not up to skill

[uncut notch]

It's not that hard

[lament condor]

the whole fight to me is if he starts his slash at point blank 3 times or not

He's not hard but he does have a bullshit run ender

[uncut notch]

What charms do you use

[uncut notch]

Bro just use sharp shadow if you're struggling that much

[lament condor]

sharp shadow does NOT solve the problem unless it reduces the cooldown

[uncut notch]

And remove mark it might be pref I think it's horrible put unbreakable heart

[lament condor]

I'm keeping it

The charms aren't really negotiable for me

[uncut notch]

It's a easier dash and you go further do he can't attack that fast

[uncut notch]

Then it's really a skill problem bro just learn to play better against him

[lament condor]

I don't have any trouble actually dodging him when cloak is ready, only when it's down

[uncut notch]

I swear he isn't that quick bro

[lament condor]

I'm gonna pop a blood vessel if one more dumb ass tries to tell me to do something you physically aren't capable of doing

I spent over an hour testing

You're just factually wrong

You have to parry it if you're right in front of him

I've tried jumping

you don't have time to double jump or dive

You get hit if you don't parry

[uncut notch]

Bro can you wait a bit I will charge my switch and I can show you

[lament condor]

If that move had even a half second more delay on it I'd be right as rain for the whole fight.

He's the only boss in the game that I find frustrating because of this particular skill. Everything else I can consistently clear.

[gusty cliff]

i can download download mods for silksong and i can get the achievements for steam? i only like visual mods like skins or effects

How does CharmPreset mod work?

what is the custom knight skin for little pure vessel called?

[silk hinge]

Hi! Someone ewants to play infection tag?

[minor tinsel]

that's why you want to prejump against pure vessel
every single attack can be comfortably dodged if you jump a little before the attack starts, then move accordingly in response to the telegraph

also mili fan nice

[frigid shore]

?topskins

[minor tinsel]

wait this is the modding chat

oh

[lament condor]

I do that a lot, yeah. Does get me punished sometimes because adjusting after he fires his ranged shots sometimes fucks me up

I mostly try to play around the walls in most fights

or just whatever the edge is

[crimson fractal]

anyone got a mod to respawn bosses?

[sullen plank]

The Hollow Knight Skinpack

[strong cloak]

anyone got a death count mod ?

[dense axle]

is there a mod that turns everything into a one hit? I'm currently playing with the 3 mask damage one + perma barbed bracelet but I'd prefer that if that's a thing

[lucid thicket]

There's no centralized, community endorsed source of mods for Silksong yet. You can check what's available on platforms such as thunderstore but you won't find guides for that here yet, if what you're looking for exists you'll have to follow the documentation provided by the authors

[lucid thicket]

There's a mod named DeathCounter on the installers

[lucid thicket]

Debug can do that but that functionality doesn't always work. Depending on why you need bosses you can use savestates or Hall of Gods

[lucid thicket]

you don't, you'll have to edit your save

?tag saveedit

[fathom wigeon]

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

[crimson fractal]

I managed to fix it, I used respawn boss in the grim arena then had to equip the charm I got from using the cmd

[lucid thicket]

Don't jump at full height, and move away as much as you can. That gives you a correct spacing for dashing in if there's daggers, and pogo or double jump if that's the triple slash

[lament condor]

I just meant in general I sometimes get punished for trying to be jumpy

more of a bad habit thing

[sly isle]

Thank you

[astral sonnet]

I'm getting very tempted to get the infinite shards mod

for skong

[dense axle]

welp, guess I'll just keep barbed + 3 mask dmg then
thx thoo

[woeful stump]

does lumafly work for silksong or there is something else?

[astral sonnet]

hornet grew up in deepnest

she's used to dark rooms

[covert estuary]

It does not and there is no community supported alternative yet

[devout lintel]

//silksong ending spoiler
will someone make a mod where you keep these stats?

this is also for silksong modding right

[split heart]

did people figure out making skins for hornet yet ? if not, did someone find a way to extract the spritesheet ? i wanted to start spriting a bit and i'd really like to have the hornet sprites as reference

[split heart]

seems like it'd be a simple retexture so it'll probably happen pretty quick would be my guess. in fact, if i won't loose interest i might do it because i wanted to make a ||silk|| skin for her so it'd sort of fit

[devout lintel]

"simple retexture" and theres 500 silk points

[split heart]

somehow i glossed over that. doesn't seem that complex anyways tho

[devout lintel]

plus the masks are different so . they might be multiple hits (3 hits? a 2-eyed mask is 1 hit so since theres 6 eyes it would be 3 hits)

[split heart]

could even be a fun custom crest, tho that'd take a lot more effort

[split heart]

i would imagine getting one mask of damage would take off one off them and reveal a regular mask underneath

[devout lintel]

maybe

they do look metallic

[devout lintel]

||hornet also has multiple arms in the ending so i wonder if that would mean anything in gameplay||

[devout lintel]

i|| feel like the crest would be like. the silk crest or something||

||grandmother crest||

||weaver crest???||

and it would just be super overpowered

[split heart]

(btw, you might want to spoiler tag some of that) i'd imagine it would mimic the way ||silk|| fights so maybe instead of regular needle hits it'd be ||hitting with those levetating pins that silk has||. might also be fun to go melee completely and omit the needle

[covert estuary]

Yes please spoiler tag all things silksong here

Common issues

• If the Skin List is covering up other mods, you can toggle it with Del or Fn+Del. You can edit this Keybind in the Custom Knight menu.
• If your skin doesn’t show up in the menu, ensure that you extracted it from the zip/rar/etc it came in (tutorial: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1207486627124093019/1403869873192571024/i.png).
• If your skin doesn’t work, go to Options > Mods > Custom Knight > Advanced > Fix My Skins. After this you may need to click Reload in the previous menu.
  • Upgraded Dream Shield (UDS) breaks Custom Knight’s first launch. To use both mods at once: disable UDS, open a save with only Custom Knight and wait until it stops lagging. You can then close the game and enable UDS again.
• If you see White Boxes ◻️, restart your game. You may also need to apply skins in a small room like a stag station.
• Ensure that you apply skins from the Pause Menu when your save file is loaded. Skins applied from the Main Menu only affect new files.

Thunderstore's Markdown system is weird because I had it all down right for the README of a mod I uploaded for Silksong, yet it just doesn't display it.

It caused me to update the mod about three times before deciding to do it normally.

Very strange.

I also had to update it one more time to change the formatting for two parts from section to subheading, but that isn't really related.

Debug mod lets you change your nail dmg value

If anyone could record the fight with this mod and send the video to me, so I could put it on the Nexus Mods page, that will be great.

[sour parrot]

where can i find info on how to change the Radiance's platforms and such? I got the Eclipse skin and the Radiance itself is working but idk how to do the platforms and background and stuff can anyone help?

[vagrant orbit]

you can't easily "change" platforms. You may be able to use the mod Architect to do what you want though.

[sour parrot]

alright, i'll look into that, thanks!

[sour parrot]

what about the background can that also be changed with architect

[vagrant orbit]

Visuals are changed with Custom Knight

Some skins change aspects of the backgrounds, but not many because it's both a newer feature, and can be a bit laggy to do a lot

[sour parrot]

how do i do that part?

[lethal quest]

does anyone know any addonss or cheats that can open doors without simple keys

[sour parrot]

you can give urself keys with DebugMod

ill check it out cheers

is there a mod for silksong that can add an item to the game and remove it after? i did not get the ||roach guts quest|| and the quest givers are ||dead|| so i can't get it on the ||materium list|| and that is the only thing keeping me from a "true 100%" in my eyes

sorry if this is a really common question but how do i lock the cursor to my screen after downloading lumafly?

i keep clicking off and it ends up being a really big problem

[balmy geyser]

what modding tool would be better to use for silksong?
i wanna make a mod that adds new crests.

• is it possible to use lumafly for silksong? if not, is there an update coming?
• is bepinex safe? can it be used for linux?

can someone tell me what the best mods are on lumafly to make hk more easier ?? iam not good ATALL

[vagrant orbit]

• Not a mod, but genuinely just practice, and accepting that you can leave and come back to stuff. HK is not very linear, so you can usually go explore somewhere else.
• The literal "best mod" would be DebugMod, since you can give yourself unlimited damage. It's really easy to accidentally mess your file up with it though.
• Nowalkofshame lets you respawn in the room that you died. (Doesn't work correctly on the final boss of the game though)
• Easymode does a few things, although it can be buggy iirc.
• there is probably other stuff

[queen meadow]

Does anybody know where the game records whether you have steel soul mode unlocked (hk)

[minor hawk]

that's in a file called the registery or something
there is a mod to modify it and do what you want with it
alternatively you can beat the game again and it will unlock (assuming you have an already completed file, that should take a few minutes)

[queen meadow]

It's the opposite

[minor hawk]

if not, then you want to get lumafly and the hk achievementmodmanager

[queen meadow]

I shouldn't have it unlocked but I do

[minor hawk]

not sure if the achievement manager can de unlock steel soul
though having that unlocked really doesn't do much

[queen meadow]

It's just triggering me

if you are fine with resetting your achievements as well you can delete the registery file

for silksong, the customizer mod from nexus works for custom hornet sprites but it seems that it can only handle one folder with custom sprites, is there already a simpler way than going to the files to replace skins each time you want to change them for hornet, the same way that the Custom Knight mod exists for the first game?

[cold summit]

yes!

[rose burrow]

oh awesome

[cold summit]

i havent tried it but im pretty sure that you can

[wet sail]

guys where do i put this thing i dont get it

[lucid thicket]

That thing is really outdated, unless you have a specific reason to use it you'll want Lumafly instead

?tag lumafly

Lumafly

Lumafly (formerly known as Scarab+) is a mod installer for 1.5 based on Scarab, but updated based on community feedback to fix problems that commonly occur in Scarab, as well as adding additional features.

[lucid thicket]

Some people report having issues modding with family share, but you can always try

[median solar]

guys why am i a white cube

[abstract burrow]

guys, does we have any mod that help multiplayer fight boss together ?

[harsh sand]

is anyone else having a problem with scarab where when i use a mod hollow knight just shows the title but no options to play

[wet sail]

guys is theres a mod where i can retry bosses ?

[old dove]

Was Dawn ever updated to fix the sprite issues during certain animations?

[green hemlock]

Will Silksong have something akin to scarab for modding?

[mystic hemlock]

is it known if someone is making a randomizer mod for silksong? if so, i wanted to know info for when it comes out, like is there a discord server or something?

[warm cape]

CustomKnight not working, the list looks like this, any ideas?

[prisma portal]

is porting the knights moveset into silksong possible?

[sullen plank]

that's something that feels REALLY possible, a lot of coding probably can do it, tho I don't know about porting... But recreating it should be possible at some point.

[prisma portal]

sounds interesting, probably much later into the future when modders get more comfortable with the code in silksong

but modifying parameters, behaviours and animations to recreate the hk should be fairly reasonable. I can see the challenge in recreating some of his more, elaborate mechanics like his shade dash and crystal dash

[wet island]

is there a way to edit my inventory in silksogn

[coarse solstice]

guys what is the best knight skin to try out ( this is my first time trying a mod skin)

[tight isle]

can anyone remove mods from a playstation save file pleasee

[sharp parrot]

So uh, i have a mod that adds || glyphs || but when i get the requirements, they dont come. Is there anything im missing?
ex: || Mantis lords has one, but when beating them and searching their loot, nothin. ||

[full holly]

Hey guys is there a way for me to start a private hkmp server without hamachi?

My friend is refusing to get it

[whole estuary]

someone want to go in hk?

[ruby galleon]

Is there a way to fix where I can’t save while using the HKMP

Me and my friend has been doing a play through of the game and I haven’t been able to keep my saves so I lose the progress

So we haven’t really been able to beat the game without just playing it for 5 hours straight

And if we beat it we can’t get ||awakened dream nail|| or ||true ending||

[frank hazel]

hey, i have a question regarding silksong, does anyone know which method is used to open a specific inventory screen? (example: journal, crests, map...) ive been trynna figure it out for hours, the closest i found is OpenInventoryPane but that just switches the top icon, not the actual screen (also idk which channel to ask this in)

[frank hazel]

im asking this cause i wanna write a mod that adds a keybind for opening the inventory screen that shows your items specifically, its the only screen that doesnt have a binding

[bitter drum]

Does modding ruin vanilla saves

I just want a costume mod

[lunar root]

It shouldnt, some mods might but even then it should be fine if you ever open your save

Its always recommended you back up your save for any case that might happen

?tag savefaq

[fathom wigeon]

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

• 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 .rar or other archived format, then you will need to extract it with something like 7zip

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/

[bitter drum]

Ok so I can still play that save with a mod

[lunar root]

Yes but if its your first i wouldnt recommend any mods

[bitter drum]

Ok

Ima beat the game first then but I still have like 12 more hours of the game to play

Ima still get the installer tho for later

Ok thanks

[bitter drum]

Not even a costume mod?

(/cosmetic)

[jovial notch]

I’m playing for my first save and I have around 10 hours in game, I kind of want a costume mod, would that be bad on a first play?

[lunar root]

None, mods can affect your experience with the game and change stuff in the game

[bitter drum]

lol read above

[jovial notch]

Erm

[lunar root]

That was not the right emoji but sure

[jovial notch]

I saw the little Grimm costume mod and I’m fighting with myself to get it

[bitter drum]

Will a costume mod screw up my game if I get it on pc then when I play on steam deck will it be dumb or smthing

[lunar root]

You can get mods if you want, but its just not recommended, you will not get the same experience and you might lose out on some stuff from the vanilla game depending on the mods

[lunar root]

It shouldnt, but like you can also mod it in your deck

[bitter drum]

Ok ima mod and if it messes up my save then I already know what to do so to get back it should only get back in like 6 hours

Ok bye thanks

[lunar root]

Or just back it up

[full holly]

I need some help with hkmp 3.0

I used it for a bit with a friend and it worked

Suddenly we both got disconnected and now im unable to host a server

Whenever I wanna host one it puts me into standard single player

[lucid thicket]

If you join the hkmp discord and link your discord account to your patreon account you'll automatically get a role that will grant you access to the hkmp 3.0 support channels

[full holly]

Server is under lockdown until further notice rn

[lucid thicket]

then you'll have to wait

[sullen summit]

this may be a dumb question but is lumafly safe

[signal zinc]

assuming you downloaded from the correct site all the mods in their are trusted and monitored by the community

[sullen summit]

ok thank you

[velvet oyster]

I wish to learn how to mod this game

... I just have to buy it first

[tough basin]

[vague reef]

Hey everyone, I have hollow knight on the switch and was wondering if there was any way to get mods for it there, if not, is there any way to move it to pc so I don’t have to buy a second copy?

[lean steppe]

Custom Knight

This is the mod for reskinning things in the game

• Skin Repository by Tadeas Jun
• Video Tutorial 🎦 by fireb0rn
• [How to use Enemy/Boss Skins](#modding-discussion message)
• Guide to Creating a Skin by HBKit

Common issues

• If the Skin List is covering up other mods, you can toggle it with Del or Fn+Del. You can edit this Keybind in the Custom Knight menu.
• If your skin doesn’t show up in the menu, ensure that you extracted it from the zip/rar/etc it came in (tutorial: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1207486627124093019/1403869873192571024/i.png).
• If your skin doesn’t work, go to Options > Mods > Custom Knight > Advanced > Fix My Skins. After this you may need to click Reload in the previous menu.
  • Upgraded Dream Shield (UDS) breaks Custom Knight’s first launch. To use both mods at once: disable UDS, open a save with only Custom Knight and wait until it stops lagging. You can then close the game and enable UDS again.
• If you see White Boxes ◻️, restart your game. You may also need to apply skins in a small room like a stag station.
• Ensure that you apply skins from the Pause Menu when your save file is loaded. Skins applied from the Main Menu only affect new files.

Troubleshooting

If your problem isn't fixed from the Common Issues section, create a post in #1057825333841240104

i got a mod that makes it so whenever i refill tools, it costs me no shell shards, it was working earlier when i initially installed it, but since then i got off and turned off pc. I got back on and now the mod doesnt work anymore, i can still configure the mod menu and such but the shell shard thing isnt taking effect anymore

does anyone know what the problem might be

[tough basin]

I saw Blue last night reloading boss fights for prac I think it might unless that another mod. i'll check out whats on thunderstore

Fixing Common issues on Linux/SteamDeck

• Controller Doesn't Work / [Some Mod] isn't working!
  • By default (especially on SteamDeck) Steam may be using Proton and installed the Windows version of the game. This can have problems on it's own, but also causes issues because the Mod Installers will install the Linux version of the ModdingAPI, which isn't fully compatible with the Windows version.
  • How to Fix: 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)
    • After this you'll need to select "Change Paths" in your Mod Installer and change it to the new install path (which you can get by using the "Browse Local Files" option in Steam, then reinstall your mods.
    • If using a Playstation/Nintendo controller, see this information.
• Game crashes or has visual glitches when starting / while playing!
  • Add -force-opengl to the steam launch arguments. Note: This can be a problem even if playing Vanilla, but it is commonly seen when Modding because of the greater resources used.
• Mods not saving correctly / loading correctly
  • This can happen if the Permissions in your Hollow Knight install get messed up. You can fix this by making sure that the current user (or all users) have permissions for the Hollow Knight install directory and subdirectory & files. If you are unfamiliar with how to do this, then you can open terminal, use CD "~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/" to get to the Steam Apps directory, and then use sudo chmod -R 777 "Hollow Knight" to update the permissions for the install so that all users can access it.

ads stands for 'additional enemies'

this thing

[austere pawn]

Yep, i got it. Any ideas what settings I should use for a first rando?

Probably not gonna go with "everything"

[neat tundra]

the default settings are good for a first rando, but you might want to tweak some stuff depending on what you like (for example if you want to have some skips you like enabled in logic, or if you don't want to randomize stags)

[dense shuttle]

no i just mass download mods that looks cool and i i just download it

[austere pawn]

I've gone for the"Spoiler dab" setting for the actual randomisation I think 🤷

[neat tundra]

if you want to make it shorter (but then it's less fun imo), enable dupes

[covert estuary]

You should read the description of mods/ReadMe before installing them

[austere pawn]

Nah nah that feels a little boring

[dense shuttle]

i did

[austere pawn]

Right okay wish me luck 🥹

[neat tundra]

good luck and enjoy!

[covert estuary]

Then how did you expect something to Pale Court and Glimmering Realm to work together lol

[dense shuttle]

it didnt say it at the description i didnt know my bad

You are forgiven

i saw a cool name, i read description then install them mindlessly

[covert estuary]

Quick look on things that are incompatible

• Fast travel (incompatible with anything, including itself)
• Additional Maps and Pale Court
• Glimmering Realm with practically anything gameplay changing
• WeaverCore, hktool and Pale Court are all not compatible with each other
• You don't need CustomKnightPlus (probably)

I’m ideally looking for 2 things - give bosses health bars (and maybe if for arenas it shows how many left) and some kind of progress indicator per area I’m in so I know if I’ve gotten 100% yet

[carmine terrace]

is this a good place to share the hyucked up mods i'm playing with rn

• death counter
• cosmetic

[covert estuary]

Silksong mod troubleshooting will not be supported here until the core Silksong modding tools and resources are finished being made. If you're eager to mod it early, then you are doing so at your own risk, and you will need to figure out how to install them yourself or ask the the creator of them for resources if they aren't in the mod's ReadMe.

[covert estuary]

Also spoiler tag the boss name please

[dry snow]

done, ty

[carmine terrace]

i didn't catch 25% but ok

[loud lake]

Can this be pinned also

Oh crap sorry

Just saw your name

[balmy idol]

is there a mod to buy multiple items at once? I want to buy shard bundle, but I have to buy one at a time

[covert estuary]

It's not strictly related to modding so I don't think it deserves a pin, I could see if it fits in a dyno tag though

Oh sorry I turn off reply ping out of habit lol

[carmine terrace]

never mind problem fixed 👍 i got the mod to work, thanks anyway!

[loud lake]

No prob it makes sense given we have opposite instructions lol

Is there a link for a health bar mod? Not at home at the moment for my pc

I’ll check out lumafly when I’m home

[covert estuary]

It's on lumafly, called enemy hp bar

Almost all hk mods are downloaded via lumafly

Oh it Luma a thing where I can search the mods on the program itself

• HKMP Discord (Dedicated space for finding people to play HKMP with)

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

*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!*

anyone know how to get Hornet sprites from silksong?

[torn hull]

Is there anyone with the silksong damage values mod that vould do a tiny test for me?

[rustic musk]

Ah, just for the mod name? That makes sense. I thought people were saying the actual vernacular had moved from "adds" (back in my day!) To "ads" (darn young whippersnappers!)

Common issues

• If the Skin List is covering up other mods, you can toggle it with Del or Fn+Del. You can edit this Keybind in the Custom Knight menu.
• If your skin doesn’t show up in the menu, ensure that you extracted it from the zip/rar/etc it came in (tutorial: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1207486627124093019/1403869873192571024/i.png).
• If your skin doesn’t work, go to Options > Mods > Custom Knight > Advanced > Fix My Skins. After this you may need to click Reload in the previous menu.
  • Upgraded Dream Shield (UDS) breaks Custom Knight’s first launch. To use both mods at once: disable UDS, open a save with only Custom Knight and wait until it stops lagging. You can then close the game and enable UDS again.
• If you see White Boxes ◻️, restart your game. You may also need to apply skins in a small room like a stag station.
• Ensure that you apply skins from the Pause Menu when your save file is loaded. Skins applied from the Main Menu only affect new files.

Does lumafly in its current state support silk song also ?

Or just HK

Hmm

[crystal storm]

is there any current person that has some of the private knight skins

[barren gate]

yo i installed lumafly from https://themulhima.github.io/Lumafly/?download
and when i opened it it did not do anything, little concerned that i just installed a virus so could someone verify thats the link and tell me if i did something wrong

hello??

[fathom wigeon]

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.

Apple could not verify that Installer is free of malware

Type ?tag macos into chat for more info.

Installer vanishes after downloading / loads a blank screen

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)
  • If you are not sure how to create Exceptions in your Security software for programs, then you can see this guide or you may need to google how to do it for the software that you use.

[barren gate]

no its not that its blocked it litterally just did nothing when i opened the file

[fierce flame]

another thing to add is that lumafly may need a file made by scarab to run properly so you may have to install scarab and then switch to lumafly

[barren gate]

this behaivor from an exe seems very strange

it opens an app for half a second and dissapears, my antivirus doesnt say anything either.

[winged patrol]

yes lumafly actually contains a trojan i just put the file into virustotal

[red plinth]

It shouldn't be in your downloads folder

[barren gate]

???

[fierce flame]

covered in the tag btw

[neat tundra]

it downloads mods from github, which is why it is flagged as a trojan

[barren gate]

if an exe doesnt even open normally why the fuck would i want to run it as an adminstrator 😭

[lucid thicket]

A trojan is a program that installs other programs. A mod installer is also a program that installs other programs. It's a false positive

?tag error

[fathom wigeon]

How to fix Installer Errors

• Make sure Hollow Knight is CLOSED.
• Make sure that the Installer isn't in your Downloads folder (Desktop or a folder on the same drive as your game install is best).
• If the installer is in a .zip, then you must Extract it
• Right-click the installer file, and select "Run as Administrator"
• If Lumafly is automatically closing, you may be missing a system file to open it. This is currently easily fixed by running the older installer, Scarab once.
  • -# Note: it's recommended to use Lumafly overall, as Scarab has some long term issues that are fixed by Lumafly.

im on linux btw : )

[gloomy basalt]

can someone help me with getting an invincibility mod?

[vagrant orbit]

The private skins are not allowed to be distributed

[worthy nebula]

What mods should I use to make my gameplay feel better. Not things like idk damage modifier. But things that just help a little and makes the gameplay feel better. Like bosses health, damage, and other things

[gloomy basalt]

any mod for invincibility?

[vagrant orbit]

That's incredibly subjective, tbh.
There's a lot of people that feel that Hollow Knight, as is, is perfect, and that any changes make it slightly worse.

You'd probably just want to look through Lumafly and see what looks interesting.

[deft ginkgo]

I added custom zoom, fast fast travel and boss health bar

[vagrant orbit]

Debug for all the time; Invisibility Monitor for situationally (like when sitting on a bench)

[deft ginkgo]

doesnt affect difficulty but just lil qol stuff

[vagrant orbit]

Make sure you're using Benchwarp, and not "Fast Travel"

Fast Travel was a proof of concept mod, and actually using it will break the game often

[deft ginkgo]

o

[vagrant orbit]

And notably, Enemy HP Bars does make the game easier, because you can play distantly based on the amount of health something has (whether that matters to you is up to yourself ofc)

[gloomy basalt]

how do you warp using benchwarp?

[meager summit]

LMAO i started randomizer and my items are...

and my first item check is pale ore what is happening

[jovial notch]

I downloaded a mod that was a dll file and I am new to modding so I don’t know where to put it. I do use scarab but this specific mod does not.

anyone know how can I install mods in pirate silksong

[fathom wigeon]

**If your game is cracked / pirated **

• Piracy is not supported in most communities for games (including this one), 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 community servers for them.
• Modding is only supported on the official computer versions from Steam, GoG, or Xbox Games. (Console versions, and unofficial versions are not supported)
• If you do not have a supported version, then please get one and then you will get support with modding the game. 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/

How to manually install mods on 1.5.78

• Download the mod (it'll be either a dll file or a .zip that you need to Extract. *Extraction tutorial: * https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/910762350267744276/1135824458041540629/image.png).
• Go to your /Mods folder and create a folder with the name of the mod.
• Note: You can use your installer to Open the Mods Folder
• Move the mod file(s) into the newly created folder.
• Launch the game.
  Example of an installed mod:

[frank hawk]

Quick question, if I open up a backup save I got from my steam cloud in notepad, and the text is invisible, but can still be highlighted, does this mean the save is no doubt corrupted? I was gonna make a thread asking for help with something related to corrupted saves but I just wanted to ask this rq in case it’s just unsalvageable from the get-go.

[lucid thicket]

That doesn't mean much, as save files use a format that isn't readable by humans. You can check if a website such as https://reznormichael.github.io/hollow-knight-completion-check/ or https://bloodorca.github.io/hollow/ manages to read it

[frank hawk]

I will take a look at those and let you know what I find, many thanks

[vagrant holly]

does anyone have a good tutorial on how to mod Silksong?
i want to use the steam multiplayer mod, but all the tutorials i've been finding dont actually work or they aren't direct on what to do

[frank hawk]

It said it could not read with either, unfortunate.

[dry snow]

did anyone have any luck fixing bugged/softlocked savefiles? it feels pretty bad not playing my own savefile/starting over

[lucid thicket]

Not until community standards get established, until then you'll have to use what you can find

[lucid thicket]

Depends on which kind of bug/softlock

[twin condor]

is there a mod that shows how much percent I have completed>

[dry snow]

||the fleas never moved from greymoor to blasted steps. i got to the citadel through the mists and only fought the final judge until i did pretty much everything else in act 2 ||

[lucid thicket]

You should've mentioned that this was about Silksong I still haven't finished the game, so I won't be able to help with that

[dry snow]

oh shit mb

[lucid thicket]

There's a vanilla feature that does that, or you can automatically unlock it with AlwaysWorldSense

[twin condor]

where

[lucid thicket]

The vanilla feature? At the end of the game, read a lore tablet in the black egg. The mod is on the installers. Assuming this is about HK

hey how do i download the impossible any% mod aka the kaizo mod

how do u download enemy skins?

[west oxide]

is it possible to mod hollow knight pc game pass version i feel like having the health bar mod will be so much easier for me

[fathom wigeon]

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)
  • Download: https://themulhima.github.io/Lumafly?download
  • Make sure that the Lumafly's exe isn't in Downloads. Ideally put it on your Desktop.
• 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.

Important paths

• Save Files: %AppData%\..\Local\Packages\
  • Find a folder in here with Team Cherry in the name.
• Game Files: C:\XboxGames\Hollow Knight\Content\
• Mod Files: C:\XboxGames\Hollow Knight\Content\hollow_knight_Data\Managed\Mods\
• Note: Microsoft manages this install weirdly and syncs its files to inaccessible folders, so changes may need a few minutes to take effect and bugs with installing or uninstalling mods can occur.

how do you do the custom skins for silk song?

[soft kernel]

Hey question, has infrastructure for silksong modding been set up yet and if so are there any mods with cute skins similar to custom knight from the original?

[restive sun]

there are mods its just a little different using a different mod loader than the one for hollow knight

[lucid thicket]

Some mods exist but there's no community endorsed resources yet, and skins that aren't simple recolors will take time. Complete HK skins already take months to make, and hornet has way more sprites than the knight

Fast Travel. It was made as a proof-of-concept, but isn't meant for regular use. You should be using Benchwarp instead.

You probably want to be using Lumafly too, instead of Scarab
