# Hollow Knight: Analyze Save Completion Web Tool
|
|
|
|
> 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.

Every single penny counts: [Donate any amount](https://www.paypal.me/ReznoRMichael). By donating you directly contribute to the purpose of improving the tool for yourself and everyone else.
|
|
|
|
## General info
|
|
|
|
Hollow Knight doesn't have a game completion list in-game. 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.
|
|
|
|
*Inspirations: love for Hollow Knight, discussions on the forum, [KayDeeTee](https://github.com/KayDeeTee/Hollow-Knight-SaveManager) and [bloodorca](https://bloodorca.github.io/hollow)'s Save Editors, programming learning, Elderbug.*
|
|
|
|
## Steam Guide
|
|
|
|
More info with features and visual previews can be found in the official [Steam Guide](https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2209910193) for the Tool.
|
|
|
|
## How to use
|
|
|
|
There are two ways to use this online tool:
|
|
|
|
1. **Simple way**: just choose your **user\*.dat** save file and see the magic happen! See [save game locations paragraph](#hollow-knight-save-game-locations) below on where to find your Hollow Knight save files.
|
|
The tool doesn't have the power to modify *any* of your files, but *always* do backups just in case.
|
|
|
|
2. **Advanced way**: for people who wish to share saves on forums in text format through [pastebin.com](https://pastebin.com/). Step by step tutorial:
|
|
|
|
* Use bloodorca's amazing [Online Save File Editor](https://bloodorca.github.io/hollow) to decode your Hollow Knight **user\*.dat** save file into text.
|
|
|
|
* Left-click inside the text box in the Editor after decoding the save and press **CTRL+A** (or Right-click -> Select All). Only the text inside the text box (decoded save file contents) should be selected.
|
|
|
|
* Press **CTRL+C** (or Right-click -> Copy) to copy the whole contents inside the text box.
|
|
|
|
* Go to the [Tool's webpage](https://reznormichael.github.io/hollow-knight-completion-check/) and press **CTRL+V** (or Right-click -> Paste) to paste the copied text inside the text box.
|
|
|
|
* Click **"Analyze Text"**. If the copy-pasted data was correct, you will see your Completion %, Play Time, and a whole list of things you have done (✅) or not yet done (❌).
|
|
|
|
## Hollow Knight Save game locations
|
|
|
|
### Your Steam Cloud
|
|
|
|
If you have Steam Cloud enabled for Hollow Knight, you can download your save [directly from here.](https://store.steampowered.com/account/remotestorageapp/?appid=367520)
|
|
You can use this if you want to check your save progress without access to your PC (on mobile/tablet for example) or if you don't want to search manually for the save files.
|
|
|
|
### Windows
|
|
|
|
`%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knight\`
|
|
**Pro Tip:** Copy and paste this code into the folder path bar of the Windows File Explorer window and press Enter to go there instantly (Windows 10).
|
|
*Example path: C:\Users\your-username\AppData\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knight*
|
|
|
|
### Linux
|
|
|
|
`~/.config/unity3d/Team Cherry/Hollow Knight/`
|
|
|
|
### macOS
|
|
|
|
`~/Library/Application Support/unity.Team Cherry.Hollow Knight/`
|
|
|
|
### Filenames
|
|
|
|
**user\*.dat** — main save file. Where \* is a number between 1 and 4, and it is the appropriate save slot inside the game.
|
|
**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.
|
|

## Version History
|
|
|
|
* 2021-01-31:
|
|
|
|
— **Major New Release v1.0!** Finally out of Beta/Early Access.
|
|
|
|
— I want to sincerely thank **one single person** (from my country - Poland) who donated a total of 60 PLN ($15.38 / €12.73) to my PayPal account since the first release of my tool in August 2020. This is currently the *only person* who donated *anything at all* since the tool's release, and I am very grateful for the support, especially in these dark times, which are hard for everyone (myself included). This update and 1.0 release is dedicated mainly to this person, and my **awesome brother** for being hugely supportive. I wish to also give my thanks to all people who supported the tool in other ways: by beta-testing, giving comments, new ideas, saves, Steam Points rewards, Steam Guide likes, favourites, sharing this tool with others or giving emotional support. I hope you all will enjoy this version even more and find it much easier to use 😊
|
|
|
|
— **Much easier to use:** Just choose a \*.dat or \*.bak save file to analyze. And that's it! You don't even have to press "Analyze", because *programming magic* does that for you.
|
|
|
|
— Go to **your Steam Cloud Storage ☁ for Hollow Knight** instantly with a press of a button! It can't get any easier to get your save file than this. Steam Cloud can be also useful if you want to quickly check your in-game progress on mobile outside your PC. Saves in the Steam Cloud are updated after exiting the game.
|
|
|
|
— **Optimized:** Now tool is compressed, works faster and is more web- and mobile-friendly than before. At least I hope 😉
