It’s been less than four days since Hollow Knight: Silksong hit the market, and the PC community has already started working on modifications. The first available mod aims to smooth out the game’s difficulty curve, something many players were waiting for from the moment it launched.

In particular, this mod eliminates the mechanic that allows certain enemies and bosses to inflict double damage, making the first hours of the adventure less punishing. This way, those who want to enjoy the world created by Team Cherry with a more relaxed approach now have an alternative available.

A mod designed for new players

The debut of Silksong has been marked by record-breaking numbers on platforms like Steam, but also by debate over its demanding initial combat. This mod doesn’t alter the game’s core experience, but rather offers a small adjustment that allows users to focus more on exploration and map discovery without worrying as much about taking heavy hits that drain a significant amount of health.

The rapid arrival of mods for Hollow Knight: Silksong demonstrates, once again, the strength of the PC community, which not only creates aesthetic content but also adapts the game to different player styles.
