Teleport and other great mods for Hollow Knight Silksong

For most mods in Silksong, you’ll first need to set up BepInEx 5. Here's a step-by-step guide to installing it:

• Download and extract the BepInEx 5 files from the Nexus Mods website.
• Go to Steam and select Hollow Knight Silksong from the Library.
• Select Manage and then click Browse Local Files.
• Now, drag all extracted BepInEx 5 files into this folder.

Once this is ready, you can install mods by placing their files in the correct folder inside BepInEx. Now, here are the five best mods to try out:

1) Enemy health bar

Hollow Knight Silksong doesn't show the enemy's health by default, which could be frustrating for some players. To fix this, @XiaoHaiNB has created the ShowDamage HealthBar mod, which adds a clean health bar above all the enemies. The best part is that it blends with the game's design and doesn't seem like a third-party/external addition.

2) Teleport

The map of Silksong is huge, and while you can fast travel thanks to the Bell Beast, it doesn't cover everything. Moving across the map often takes time and requires some tricky movement mechanics at times. To make travelling much easier, @YurisCat has made a simple Teleportation mod that allows you to instantly move to any location on the map.

3) Death counter

The Hollow Knight series is infamous for its difficulty, and it's extremely rare for new players to clear boss fights or long sections without dying. Many players like to keep a track of their deaths, but Silksong doesn't have a tracker. That's where the Death Counter mod by @Rexxah comes in. It displays your total number of deaths in the top left corner of the screen, without disrupting the game's user interface.

4) Multiple cheats

For those who just want to experience the story without taking any gameplay challenges, the Simple Cheats mod by @DevToolsMaster is the perfect tool. It allows you to basically do anything in the game. For example, you can adjust how many items you carry, how much damage you deal, how fast Hornet moves, and much more. This mod opens in a separate window, meaning you can easily toggle any cheat on or off.

5) Infinites Rosaries

Earning Rosary can be tough, especially for beginners. If you die, you lose all the Rosaries (unless you have the Rosary String), which can be stressful. To solve this, @midouu has created the Simple Rosary Cheat mod. This tool grants you 1000 Rosaries instantly by pressing F3.
