- A Silk song The player discovered a way to unlock the Steel Soul mode early
- It requires a code to have entered the game of the game extras
- Steel Soul usually unlocks after erased the game once
Hollow knight: Silksong Is a difficult game perhaps a little too difficult for the tastes of certain people, but what happens if there was a way to make your first game even more difficult?
While hundreds of thousands of players flocked Silk song For the first time this week, a user on the sanderdit of the game discovered that the mode `Steel Soul ” without shame can be unlocked with a good cheat code.
Usually (and as was the case with the first Hollow knight), Steel Soul Mode unlocks once you have beaten the game for the first time. On a steel soul, death is permanent, making your backup file completely unusable if Hornet gives a kick in the bucket. And yes, there are achievements related to compensation for the Steel Soul mode (one of which requires an end of game 100%, because I suppose that the Cherry team is sick like that).
So let’s say you are not satisfied with Silksong Relatively high level of difficulty and you want to get into steel soul mode immediately. You can do this by entering a slight variation in the iconic “Konami code” in the game’s extras.
In the extras menu, just enter Above, bottom, at the top, bottom, left, right, left, right on your controller or keyboard. The screen flashes and Steel Soul will unlock prematurely. I tested this myself and it works indeed; The next time you are going to start a new backup file, you will be able to choose Steel Soul before you start your new game.
It goes without saying that I would absolutely not recommend Steel Soul for your first game.
The code is probably included here for players who buy the game on several platforms not having the game again to unlock the punitive mode rather than those who play for the very first time.
