Welcome to the modded Hollow Knight challenge run community! This page tracks runs using popular mods that transform the Hollow Knight experience.
Featured Mods
Gun Mod (HKGun / Hollow Point)
The gun mod completely changes Hollow Knight's combat dynamics. Ranged combat creates new strategies for boss fights, platforming challenges, and speedrun routing. It's a fresh way to experience a classic game!
Randomizer
The Randomizer mod shuffles items, abilities, and more throughout Hallownest. Every seed creates a unique routing puzzle - find your movement abilities and progress through the game in completely new ways.
