About this mod Machine translation

This is a simple no-interface mod for respawning bosses in Silk Song for practice. An exercise suitable for speedrunning and Steel Soul modes, allowing you to quickly respawn bosses in the game.

Boss Respawner

🎮 **A boss practice tool designed specifically for Hollow Knight: Silk Song**

✨ Core Functions

  • **Quick Boss Respawn**: No need to roll back saves or edit save files
  • **Shortcut key operation**: Press `alt+1` by default to respawn all supported bosses
  • **Modular Design**: Each boss has an independent DLL file that can be enabled on demand

🛠️ Installation Guide

  • Drag and drop `BossRespawn.dll` into the BepInEx plugin folder
  • If you need a specific leader, you can add the corresponding DLL file separately.
  • Each DLL can be used independently without relying on other files.

🎯 How to use

  • Press the `alt+1` shortcut to respawn all supported bosses
  • There is no visual prompt, but the boss will appear normally after entering the boss scene.
  • It is recommended not to use shortcut keys in the boss scene to avoid bugs.

⚠️ Important reminder

**Please be sure to back up your archive before use! ** This mod will edit save files directly.

💡 **Tip**: If you encounter a room behaving strangely, it's most likely because you're in the third act of the game.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. 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.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. 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.
