Godseeker Mode

Godseeker Mode is a game mode in Hollow Knight that is unlocked after completing the first three Pantheons in Godhome: the Pantheon of the Master, the Pantheon of the Artist, and the Pantheon of the Sage. Even though it is unlocked after these Pantheons, it "canonically" occurs after the events of the Pantheon of Hallownest.

The purpose of the game mode is having access to almost all bosses in the game and having most Charms and upgrades unlocked, without needing to play through the main game. Godseeker Mode starts out and takes place entirely in Godhome. There is no way to exit the area.

Trivia
 * Team Cherry added Godseeker Mode so that players who wanted to play Godhome could have a distinct save file for it that they could start whenever they wanted.
 * In an early leak, the Godseeker Mode was shown with a different icon. While the select game icon has been changed, this old icon can still be seen when unlocking the new mode.
