Silksong in 2026: How I Use Mods to Tame Team Cherry’s Brutal Masterpiece

As a longtime Hollow Knight fan who has spent a lot of 2026 replaying Hollow Knight: Silksong, I can say this: Team Cherry’s sequel is brilliant, but it is also brutally hard. Is it harder than the original? I think so, at least in its opening hours. The game’s wider exposure has brought in players who may not be deeply familiar with Metroidvanias or Soulslike punishment, and that can make Pharloom feel like a wall rather than a challenge. If you love the art, lore, and combat but wish Silksong had an easy mode, the mod scene is your best friend. I still recommend starting with vanilla, because the base game is masterful. But if you are thinking about dropping it, a few community mods can make the experience far more accessible without completely breaking it. Most Silksong mods use BepInEx, and in 2026 the installation process is still pretty simple. Here is how I do it: Download the BepI
