If you’ve ever wished Hornet carried a little more mystery as she traverses the haunting world of Pharloom, the Ghost of Pharloom mod delivers exactly that vibe. Crafted by Author xlhans77, this fan creation is a stunning visual re-imagining that gives Hornet a new cloak and a hauntingly familiar mask one that pays homage to the spectral knight of Hallownest.
This mod doesn’t tamper with gameplay or mechanics; instead, it breathes new life into the look of our agile heroine. Hornet dons a dark-blue cloak and a ghost-inspired mask, seamlessly blending the elegance of Silksong’s art direction with the nostalgia of Hollow Knight’s legacy. The result feels like a perfect crossover, a reminder of where it all began, but through the eyes of a new protector.
Installing Ghost of Pharloom is refreshingly simple, especially if you’ve used mods before. You’ll need to have BepInEx 5 installed at the root of your game folder, then run Silksong once so it can initialize the mod loader files. Next, add either Silksong Customizer or Patchwork to your BepInEx/plugins directory. Once that’s done, drop the Ghost of Pharloom folder into the mods section (or into Patchwork’s sprite folder, depending on your setup), and you’re all set.
Once in-game, Hornet’s new design immediately stands out. The navy-blue cloak flows with her movements, and the mask adds an ethereal touch, giving her the aura of a wandering spirit rather than just a determined warrior. It’s a cosmetic overhaul that manages to respect Silksong’s original design while offering something fresh and emotionally resonant.
Not every animation is covered yet, a few scenes may briefly revert to her classic look, but that’s to be expected from an initial 1.0.0 release. The creator has hinted at improving consistency in future updates, so fans can look forward to even smoother integration as the mod evolves.
Visually, it fits beautifully with Silksong’s tone. The blue hues complement Pharloom’s misty palette, and the ghostly mask creates a cinematic edge that feels right at home in the somber yet enchanting world Team Cherry has built. There’s something poetic about seeing Hornet take on the mantle of the “Ghost”, almost as if she’s carrying forward the spirit of the fallen knight.
If you love aesthetic mods or want to give your Silksong runs a new flavor without changing how the game plays, Ghost of Pharloom is a must-try. It’s lightweight, safe to install, and adds a meaningful visual twist that makes every battle, jump, and needle throw feel new again.
