# Hollow Knight: Analyze Save Completion Online Tool
> Analyze your saves. See precisely what you missed and where. See Completion %, locations (also Shards/Fragments), costs, Game Statistics. I even designed spoiler-free hints based on your progress, if you are completely lost.
> Now you can see what you missed easily! Game Completion %, every Shard/Fragment/Ore, costs, locations, Game Statistics, Hunter's Journal, Achievements, Game Completion essentials. And if you are completely lost, I designed a spoiler-free Hint system based on your individual game progress.

## General info
Hollow Knight doesn't have a game completion list. There is no way to easily check what specific things you forgot to do or missed for full 112% Game Completion, Hunter's Journal and Achievements. Until now! I wrote a tool for that for you.

* Use bloodorca's amazing [Online Save File Editor](https://bloodorca.github.io/hollow) to decode your Hollow Knight **user\*.dat** save file into text.
There are two ways to use this online tool:
* **CTRL+A** (Select All) inside the text box after decoding the save. **CTRL+C** (Copy) to copy the whole contents inside the text box. Be careful not to copy the whole webpage! Only the text inside the text box.

**user\*.dat.bakX** — backup save files. Where X is a number in ascending order meaning how many backups were made during the whole playthrough of that save. The higher the number, the more recent the backup. There are usually 3 save backups at one time, older backups are deleted.
