UPDATE: Players can now unlock the highly anticipated Steel Soul Mode in Hollow Knight: Silksong as of today! This mode, designed for hardcore gamers seeking a challenging experience, introduces a permadeath feature, intensifying the game’s difficulty level.
For those unfamiliar, Steel Soul Mode means it’s game over upon death—no second chances. Players will face a new death screen that heightens the stakes significantly. The mode transforms items related to death as well, with the Dead Bug’s Purse evolving into a Shell Satchel, which increases Hornet’s tool pouch size, enhancing gameplay strategy.
Unlocking this mode is straightforward: complete the main game or use the iconic Konami Code. To activate it without finishing the game, navigate to the “Extras” screen from the main menu and input the sequence: Up, Down, Up, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right. A successful input will trigger a deep “whoosh” sound and a brief white flash on the screen, confirming you’re set for a new challenge.
Once confirmed, players can start a new game in an empty save slot, selecting Steel Soul Mode right away. This mode promises a unique twist for completionists eager for added challenges in their journey through Hallownest’s sequel.
