[START] - [PREVIOUS] - [NEXT]

Welcome to The Fifth Save, a Hollow Knight Randomizer run where multiple mods are in use, and hilarity ensues.
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.

List of mods in use :
☆ Randomizer 3.0: All collectibles are swapped around. This mod’s Cursed option is active. (NB: This run used a now obsolete version of the Randomizer mod, which predates May 2020. It is now impossible to replicate this save file’s exact state through the current version of this mod.)
☆ More Saves: Lets you have more than 4 save slots. This is the Fifth Save for a reason, after all.
☆ CustomKnight: Changes the player character’s appearance in game at will. The skin used is PinkBow Knight by GingkoX, which was recolored from pink to blue.
☆ Poorly Translated: All in-game dialogue has been taken and processed by Google Translate through dozens of random languages, until the resulting text is nonsensical garbage. Hilarity ensues.
☆ Benchwarp: Lets you teleport to any bench in the game.
☆ Debug Mod: The most powerful mod of all, lets you do nearly anything. However, because of conflicts between the mods used, it is prone to malfunctioning and cannot work to its full extent. The most game-breaking options are non-functional.
