At long last, Hollow Knight: Silksong is finally here and has achieved a massive concurrent player count on Steam during its first weekend, but for players struggling with the game’s inherent difficulty, a selection of mods that make the game easier can already be found online.
Like the original Hollow Knight, one of the most appealing aspects of Silksong is the challenging gameplay loop, as you’re tasked with traversing treacherous environments, overcoming tough bosses, and gradually improving your skills the more you progress. However, some players have already quit the game after one too many deaths due to Silksong’s difficulty (via Reddit), with some claiming that it’s even harder than the first game.
That’s why over at Nexus Mods (via Insider Gaming), you can already find a number of mods that have been created to reduce the difficulty. One mod named “Always Have Compass Effect (BepInEx)” is currently the most-downloaded plugin on the site and essentially makes it so the player can always see their position on the map.
Another, “ShowDamage HealthBar,” displays enemy health bars and damage numbers, while “No Double Damage” prevents enemies and normal boss attacks from dealing more than one mask of damage.
Other mods include “Teleport”, which gives the player a teleportation ability, and “AutoMap”, which automatically updates maps as they progress through an area after acquiring the Quill, without needing to rest at a bench.
If you’re struggling to progress or stuck at a particularly difficult boss, these mods might come in handy, or you can check out our 10 Hollow Knight: Silksong tips you need to know before you play, which includes a beginner’s guide on Hornet’s abilities, tips on where to purchase maps and access fast-travel points, as well as acquiring new skills.
