Turns out Hollow Knight: Silksong does have another difficulty mode, just not the one you probably want

Golly, that Hollow Knight: Silksong is simply a spot hard, 'ey? I'm not present to provender into that sermon close now, you've astir apt seen capable of that connected Bluesky and successful the comments of YouTube videos astir the apical 10 things you missed successful Silksong. No, alternatively I'm present to archer you that things could beryllium much, overmuch worse apparently, arsenic it turns retired an full trouble mode is hidden wrong the metroidvania for you to unlock.

That mightiness beryllium euphony to the ears of those of you who are struggling a spot with the crippled (no judgement here, the game's tough). Unfortunately, this 1 isn't your tune, arsenic the hidden trouble mode really makes the crippled harder, astir impossibly so. It's called Steel Soul mode, and the rules are beauteous simple: "No reviving. Death is permanent." Great! Exactly what I privation from a crippled wherever I've already died 10,000 times.

Unlocking the mode is, arsenic discovered by Reddit idiosyncratic Buttnugtaster (no relation), monumentally casual compared to the remainder of the game. All you person to bash is caput into the Extras menu, past input the following: up, down, up, down, left, right, left, right. You'll get a flash connected the screen, and if you effort to commencement a caller prevention record you'll find Steel Soul arsenic an option. I've checked this myself and it does work, and no, I did not commencement a caller save. My acquisition of this mode volition beryllium wholly constricted to watching idiosyncratic inevitably effort it astatine Games Done Quick.

While determination is nary casual mode successful the game, Team Cherry did outline an upcoming spot earlier contiguous that promises to marque a fewer bits of the crippled similar a mates of brag fights a smidge much forgiving. At slightest those of america who bushed Moorwing already person bragging rights.
