Steel Soul Mode

Steel Soul Mode is a game mode in Hollow Knight that the player unlocks after completing the game for the first time.

In Steel Soul Mode, there are three main changes to gameplay: As death is permanent, this means that the Fragile Charms sold by Leg Eater become significantly more useful, as their main penalty (breaking upon death) is nullified.
 * The player will not respawn upon death. Once the player dies, the game ends and the save file is reset. Note: dying to Lost Kin, Failed Champion, Soul Tyrant, Grey Prince Zote, White Defender, or Nightmare King Grimm does NOT count as an actual death.
 * Confessor Jiji is replaced by Steel Soul Jinn, who will trade Rancid Eggs for Geo.
 * Tuk has been killed by the Infection, and will not sell Rancid Eggs. Found next to Tuk's corpse is a Rancid Egg.

Trying to enter a failed Steel Soul run will result in asking if the player would like to clear the save slot. Режимы игры Tryb Stalowej Duszy
