Hollow Knight: Silksong is proving just as punishing as expected, and players are already turning to mods to ease the struggle. From brutal bosses to tricky platforming sections, Silksong doesn’t pull its punches, so it’s no surprise the community has jumped in with solutions.
One standout item in the game, the Warding Bell, offers some help but won’t save you from repeated deaths. The difficulty spikes with sections like Red Flowers and Hunter’s March, pushing many to seek alternatives. That’s where mods come in.

Silksong mods are changing the game
Over on Nexus Mods, downloads are climbing fast. Popular mods let you see a boss’ health bar, reduce incoming damage to a single mask, or boost Hornet’s base attack power. Outside of combat, players can also install tweaks like a permanent Compass slot and automatic pickup of Rosary Beads and Shards.
The first Hollow Knight was no walk in the park, but Silksong has already pulled in hundreds of thousands of new players, many of whom are learning the hard way just how relentless it can be. For those struggling, these mods are quickly becoming the go-to solution.
