Hollow Knight: Silksong hasn’t been out long, but the community isn’t wasting time. Mods are already flooding Nexus, and most of them share one goal – making this unforgiving sequel just a little easier to stomach.

Boss fights are savage. Regular enemies can cut you down in seconds. Even platforming sections like Red Flowers and Hunter’s March are designed to push you to the edge. Sure, the Warding Bell offers some relief, but it barely scratches the surface. For many, that’s not enough.

Silksong mods are rewriting the rules

Players are downloading tweaks by the thousands. Some of the most popular let you see boss health bars, cut incoming damage down to a single mask, or even give Hornet extra attack power. Others make exploration smoother – like permanent Compass slots and auto-pickup for Rosary Beads and Shards.

The original Hollow Knight built a reputation for being tough, but Silksong is another beast entirely. It’s drawn in hundreds of thousands of players thanks to years of hype, and now many of them are discovering the game doesn’t care about their patience.

Mods are quickly becoming the answer for those who want the challenge toned down without giving up on the adventure. But it raises a bigger question – should all games come with built-in difficulty settings, or is modding the best way to bridge that gap?
