This is a mod for Hollow Knight Randomizer that adds pins to the map showing the location of the various checks. It's trainning wheels for beginners to learn how to play Hollow Knight Randomizer.
- Talking to Elderbug 3 times activates the mod and gives you all maps (including the Collector's map if grubs are non-randomized) and the compass charm.
- The map will contain pins indicating which checks are currently reachable.
- The map will show a list of areas and the number of checks available in each area.
- Make sure
ModCommon.dllandRandomizerMod3.0.dllare already installed in your Hollow Knight Mod Folder. If they're not installed, easiest way to install them is to use the Hollow Knight Mod Installer. - Download the latest release of
RandoMapMod.dll. - Copy
RandoMapMod.dllto your Hollow Knight mod folder (for exampleC:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Hollow Knight\hollow_knight_Data\Managed\Mods). - Start a new game.
- Talk to Elderbug 3 times.
There are five different types of pins:
- Small Dark (?) Pins indicate item locations that are considered to be not reachable based on the allowed-skip settings in the randomizer. It's possible they are still obtainable through sequence breaks.
- Big Red (?) Pins indicate item locations that are currently considered reachable, and one of these will contain the progression you are looking for if you are stuck.
- Yellow (!) Pins indicate item locations that are currently considered reachable but still require some form of prerequisite to obtain. For example, Grubs for Grubfather or Essence for Seer.
- Small Dark ($) Pins indicate shop locations that are currently considered not reacehable.
- Big Green ($) Pins indicate shop locations that are currently in reachable, as a reminder to the player that the shop may still have items for sale they may need.
