In the vast and mysterious world of Hollow Knight, Silksong, one of the more intriguing and atmospheric zones is the dreaded “Mist” region, an area that ordinarily closes off after completion. But what if the mist never lifted? What if you could reenter its swirling corridors, or even trigger the mist to envelop every corner of the map? That is exactly what the AlwaysMist mod aspires to accomplish.
What Does Always Mist Mod Do?
At its core, Always Mist Mod restores access to the mist area even after a player has completed it. In standard gameplay, once the mist path is cleared, players lose the ability to reenter. This mod undoes that restriction, allowing subsequent visits and exploration.
Moreover, the mod injects variability by randomizing maze values, so that each foray into mist may feel fresh and unpredictable.
Beyond that, the mod includes a True Always Mist option. When this mode is enabled, any door or room you enter will first route you through the mist, making the mist a permanent, pervasive feature of your journey through the game world.
Requirements & Installation
To use Always Mist Mod, several dependencies must be in place. The mod requires:
- BepInEx v5 (along with a configuration manager)
- BepInEx Utils, a library used by the author’s other mods
Without those, AlwaysMist cannot function. Once the core mod loader and utilities are installed, the AlwaysMist assembly (DLL) is placed in the game’s “BepInEx/plugins” directory. During game launch, the mod injects its logic into the normal scene loading.
Configuration is handled via a .cfg file named io.github.ykysnk.AlwaysMist.cfg in the BepInEx config folder. If using a configuration manager interface, you can toggle values in-game, such as enabling TrueAlwaysMist, or toggling resets and random door mapping.

Always Mist Mod is a thoughtfully designed mod for Silksong that reimagines the mist not as a single, closed-off challenge, but as a potential constant companion (or menace). With support for random layouts, a “true always mist” override, and a handful of configurable settings, it offers a new lens through which to experience the game’s world. It is not without its rough edges, but for those who relish atmospheric exploration and want their journey tinted by shadow and vapor, it is an intriguing choice.
