Hollow Knight: Silksong isn't an easy game, but that difficulty is one of the reasons why fans love it. There are likely some in the fanbase who might even feel it's too easy, and for them, developer Team Cherry added the most famous of cheat codes to the game, although it doesn't give you 30 lives.

The famous Konami Code , best known for its inclusion in the NES game Contra, does work in Silksong , but it will make the game far harder, not easier. The secret was found not long after the game came out on Thursday over at the Silksong subreddit . A variation of the code can be inputted in the Extras section of the title screen to unlock the Steel Soul mode on a new playthrough. The description of the unlocked mode says, "No reviving. Death is permanent."
