# Hollow Knight for Archipelago Setup Guide
|
|
|
|
## Required Software
|
|
* Download and unzip the Scarab+ Mod Manager from the [Scarab+ website](https://themulhima.github.io/Scarab/).
|
|
* A legal copy of Hollow Knight.
|
|
|
|
## Installing the Archipelago Mod using Scarab+
|
|
1. Launch Scarab+ 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 Scarab+ fails to find your XBox Game Pass installation directory
|
|
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.
|
|
5. Run Scarab+ as an administrator and, when it asks you for the path, paste what you copied in step 4.
|
|
|
|
#### Alternative Method:
|
|
1. Click on your profile then "Settings".
|
|
2. Go to the "General" tab and select "CHANGE FOLDER".
|
|
3. Look for a folder where you want to install the game (preferably inside a folder on your desktop) and copy the path.
|
|
4. Run Scarab+ as an administrator and, when it asks you for the path, paste what you copied in step 3.
|
|
|
|
Note: The path folder needs to have the "Hollow Knight_Data" folder inside.
|
|
|
|
## Configuring your YAML File
|
|
### What is a YAML and why do I need one?
|
|
You can see the [basic multiworld setup guide](/tutorial/Archipelago/setup/en) here on the Archipelago website to learn
|
|
about why Archipelago uses YAML files and what they're for.
|
|
|
|
### Where do I get a YAML?
|
|
You can use the [game settings page for Hollow Knight](/games/Hollow%20Knight/player-settings) 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.
|
|
|
|
## Commands
|
|
While playing the multiworld you can interact with the server using various commands listed in the
|
|
[commands guide](/tutorial/Archipelago/commands/en). As this game does not have an in-game text client at the moment,
|
|
You can optionally connect to the multiworld using the text client, which can be found in the
|
|
[main Archipelago installation](https://github.com/ArchipelagoMW/Archipelago/releases) as Archipelago Text Client to
|
|
enter these commands.
