URGENT UPDATE: Gamers can now unlock the highly anticipated Steel Soul Mode in Hollow Knight: Silksong, offering a thrilling challenge for those seeking a more punishing experience. This new mode features permadeath mechanics, where dying means an instant game over, and players will be prompted to overwrite their save file upon death.
For those eager to dive into this intense gameplay, there are two methods to unlock Steel Soul Mode. The most straightforward approach is to complete the main game first. However, players looking for immediate access can simply enter the classic Konami Code at the Extras Screen in the main menu: Up, Down, Up, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right. Successfully inputting this code will trigger a deep “whoosh” sound and a brief white flash on the screen, signaling that the mode is now available.
As players embark on this new journey with Steel Soul Mode, they will encounter modified items, such as the conversion of the Dead Bug’s Purse into a Shell Satchel, enhancing Hornet’s tool pouch capacity. This adds strategic depth to gameplay, catering to completionists and hardcore fans alike.
