If you find the standard Hollow Knight: Silksong difficulty a little tame, there is a hardcore mode you can unlock called Steel Soul mode. This is the toughest difficulty, which offers numerous challenges, such as only one life. Yes, you heard that right. If you died a lot during the standard Hollow Knight: Silksong and are still stuck on a tough boss or platforming section, you should stay away from the Steel Soul mode because it has only one life for Hornet, and if you die even once, the game is permanently over, and you have to start a brand-new game. This Hollow Knight: Silksong Steel Soul Mode Unlock Guide will help you you can unlock the Steel Soul mode in the game.
Steel Soul Mode Unlock Guide – Hollow Knight: Silksong
Normally, you will unlock the Steel Soul mode after completing a standard playthrough of the main story. Once you see the credits roll, you will unlock the Steel Soul mode in the game, and you will be able to access it before starting a brand-new game. Instead of just starting the game straightaway, this time around, the game will ask you whether you want to start a Classic play mode or the Steel Soul mode, which has no reviving and death is permanent.
If you cannot wait for the game’s completion and want to unlock it straightaway, you can head to the Extras menu and input a little cheat code, which will grant you instant access to this brutal game mode. This code is:
Up, Down, Up, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right
You can enter this code using a controller or the keyboard. If you are using a keyboard, you can use the directional keys, and if you are using a controller, you can use the controller’s joystick or D-pad. Once the code is entered, the screen will flash once to show that the mode is now available. To jump into the new mode, head to the New Game screen and choose it from the options. You can now jump into the most hardcore method to play Hollow Knight: Silksong.
