📥 Installation Guide
- Start the game for the first time to generate an archive folder.
- Exit the game completely
- Navigate to the archive directory:
`C:\Users\[your Windows username]\AppData\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knight Silksong\[your user ID]`
- Paste the downloaded archive file into this folder
- Reopen the game - new save slots will appear for each boss encounter
🗃️ Archive slot management
The game uses files named user1.dat through user4.dat, each corresponding to a save slot in the game:
**Select the slot where Boss specific files are loaded:**
- Rename the downloaded archive file (e.g. Boss_Nyleth.dat) to the desired slot name, such as user2.dat
- Place it in the save folder - Existing slots will be overwritten when launching the game
- Can switch between slots by renaming the file (e.g. user3.dat → user1.dat)
💡 **IMPORTANT:** Keep a backup of the original file (e.g. user1.dat.bak1) so you can restore it if needed
🔗 Recommended matching modules
It is recommended to download this mod at the same time:
- Respawn in the Boss area after death
- No need to trek from the bench to the boss location
- Please refer to the module page for detailed usage instructions
🛡️ Best Practices
- **Regular Backup Archives**: Copy the entire Silk Song folder to a safe location (e.g. Docs, Dropbox, Google Drive)
- **Cloud Save Note**: If cloud save (Steam or GOG) is enabled, automatic synchronization may overwrite custom Boss slots
- **Easy Switch Configuration**: Separate "Normal Game" and "Boss Practice" settings using different slots (1-4)
- **Accidental Recovery**: If you accidentally overwrite the wrong slot, use the main menu's autosave rollback feature (when available)
🎯 Module advantages

- 🎮 **Casual Players**: Relive your favorite battles without having to replay lengthy sections
🌟 **Final Reminder:** Please make sure to back up the original archive before installing or renaming files. Navigate boss battles easily and safely with careful slot management and backup - no need to replay everything every time!
Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.
Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
