[START] - [PREVIOUS] - [NEXT]

ALSO AVAILABLE ON: Tumblr - AO3

Have you ever read, or at least heard of “Nuzlocke” comics? Those people who take a Pokémon game and play it with additional rules which make the game much harder, and then tell their journey to whoever wants to hear them.
I thought, hey, Hollow Knight too allows for quite the personal experience! Why couldn’t a playthrough be told in an enjoyable way? Especially if you spice things up and make it so that your game will definitely act in ways it wasn’t originally meant to.
Welcome to The Fifth Save, a Hollow Knight Randomizer run where multiple mods are in use, and hilarity ensues.

List of mods in use :
☆ Randomizer 3.0 : All items are swapped around at random, including basic abilities. Cursed option is ON BABAY
☆ More Saves : Allows to keep more than 4 saves at a time. This is the Fifth Save for a reason, after all.
☆ CustomKnight : Changes the appearance of the playable character in game at will. The skin used is PinkBow Knight by GingkoX, which was recolored from pink to blue. I originally wanted to make my own 100% original design, but sadly the task proved to be too time-consuming and I grew impatient, so I just started playing.
☆ Poorly Translated : All dialogue has been taken and processed by Google Translate through dozens of random languages, until the resulting text is nonsensical garbage.
☆ Benchwarp : It is quite useful to be able to teleport to a safe spot, especially when you find yourself so desperately stuck that you legitimately cannot finish the game without cheating a little bit.
☆ Debug Mod : Allows to get out of the toughest situations, in case of absolute emergency. Still, due to the Cursed state of this run, it is prone to malfunctioning and overall cannot work to its full extent. Options such as Infinite HP/SOUL, Invincibility or No Clip are entirely non-functional, even if I actually wanted to use them.
Similarly to a Nuzlocke Run in the Pokémon series, this story is written while I already played rather far into the related HK run. However, the story is still related to questions, and why not, maybe this could become an Ask-based story of sorts too. Either way, don't hesitate to ask away and watch the story try to include your messages in its universe. This is all meant to be a fun ride all the way!
