QoL Mod

QoL Mod is highly recommended, though not required, for the randomizer. It makes many quality of life changes to the game.

You can toggle features using the in-game "Options" menu or by editing the settings file in your saves folder, at:


 * Windows: username/AppData/LocalLow/TeamCherry/HollowKnight/QoL.GlobalSettings.json
 * Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/unity.Team Cherry.Hollow Knight/QoL.GlobalSettings.json
 * Linux: ~/.config/unity3d/Team Cherry/Hollow Knight/QoL.GlobalSettings.json

Settings
Settings are on by default, unless specified.

The following options are currently only available in the settings file:
 * FasterLoads – All transitions are approximately .565 seconds faster, by removing non-load wait time built into the animation
 * FastMenus – Greatly speedups the animations when navigating through menus
 * FastText – Scroll through text boxes much faster
 * FixFireballs – Walls no longer eat Vengeful Spirit from the wrong side
 * FixVolume – prevents bug with very loud noises when the ingame volume sliders are set low
 * InfinitePoP – Allows unlimited playthroughs of Path of Pain inside White Palace
 * LockMenuCursor – Locks mouse cursor to game window (OFF by default)

 * SaneUumuu – Uumuu always uses the fast attack if possible
 * SalubraKiller – Removes Salubra’s Blessing animation
 * UnencryptedSaves – Exports .dat savefiles to .json files. Editing the .json files in a text editor (e.g. NotePad) will cause them to supercede the original files when the game is loaded.
