Steel Soul Mode

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

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. Режимы игры Tryb Stalowej Duszy
 * 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 is infected, and she will not sell Rancid Eggs. If killed, she drops another Egg.
