# Hollow Knight for Archipelago Setup Guide
|
|
|
|
## Required Software
|
|
* Download and unzip the Lumafly Mod Manager from the [Lumafly website](https://themulhima.github.io/Lumafly/).
|
|
* A legal copy of Hollow Knight.
|
|
* Steam, Gog, and Xbox Game Pass versions of the game are supported.
|
|
* Windows, Mac, and Linux (including Steam Deck) are supported.
|
|
|
|
## Installing the Archipelago Mod using Lumafly
|
|
1. Launch Lumafly and ensure it locates your Hollow Knight installation directory.
|
|
2. Click the "Install" button near the "Archipelago" mod entry.
|
|
* If desired, also install "Archipelago Map Mod" to use as an in-game tracker.
|
|
3. Launch the game, you're all set!
|
|
|
|
### What to do if Lumafly fails to find your installation directory
|
|
1. Find the directory manually.
|
|
* Xbox Game Pass:
|
|
1. Enter the Xbox app and move your mouse over "Hollow Knight" on the left sidebar.
|
|
2. Click the three points then click "Manage".
|
|
3. Go to the "Files" tab and select "Browse...".
|
|
4. Click "Hollow Knight", then "Content", then click the path bar and copy it.
|
|
* Steam:
|
|
1. You likely put your Steam library in a non-standard place. If this is the case, you probably know where
|
|
it is. Find your steam library and then find the Hollow Knight folder and copy the path.
|
|
* Windows - `C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Hollow Knight`
|
|
* Linux/Steam Deck - ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Hollow Knight
|
|
* Mac - ~/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Hollow Knight/hollow_knight.app
|
|
2. Run Lumafly as an administrator and, when it asks you for the path, paste the path you copied.
|
|
|
|
## Configuring your YAML File
|
|
### What is a YAML and why do I need one?
|
|
An YAML file is the way that you provide your player options to Archipelago.
|
|
See the [basic multiworld setup guide](/tutorial/Archipelago/setup/en) here on the Archipelago website to learn more.
|
|
|
|
### Where do I get a YAML?
|
|
You can use the [game options page for Hollow Knight](/games/Hollow%20Knight/player-options) here on the Archipelago
|
|
website to generate a YAML using a graphical interface.
|
|
|
|
### Joining an Archipelago Game in Hollow Knight
|
|
1. Start the game after installing all necessary mods.
|
|
2. Create a **new save game.**
|
|
3. Select the **Archipelago** game mode from the mode selection screen.
|
|
4. Enter the correct settings for your Archipelago server.
|
|
5. Hit **Start** to begin the game. The game will stall for a few seconds while it does all item placements.
|
|
6. The game will immediately drop you into the randomized game.
|
|
* If you are waiting for a countdown then wait for it to lapse before hitting Start.
|
|
* Or hit Start then pause the game once you're in it.
|

|
## Hints and other commands
|
|
While playing in a multiworld, you can interact with the server using various commands listed in the
|
|
[commands guide](/tutorial/Archipelago/commands/en). You can use the Archipelago Text Client to do this,
|
|
which is included in the latest release of the [Archipelago software](https://github.com/ArchipelagoMW/Archipelago/releases/latest).
