Yi in Pharloom

Play Hollow Knight: Silksong as Yi from Nine Sols. Hornet is replaced everywhere: you run, jump, slash and dash through Pharloom as Yi, drawn with his real Nine Sols animations and voiced with his real Nine Sols sounds, read from your own copy of Nine Sols while you play.

What you get

• Yi from the first frame. Idle, run, jump, sword slashes, dash-roll, wall moves, hurt and death are all Yi's own animations. Benches, Bind (healing), tools and Hornet's other abilities are drawn as Yi too.
• Parry → Unbounded Counter. Press parry just before a hit lands. Yi deflects it with no damage, gains 1 silk, stores 1 Qi, and answers with his Unbounded Counter strike.
• Azure Bow. The ranged button fires an Azure Bow arrow (2 arrows that recharge).
• Qi Talisman. With Qi stored from parries, the ranged button throws a Qi Talisman that sticks to an enemy and explodes. More Qi means more damage.
• Yi's sounds. His sword, parry, counter, bow, talisman, dash, jump and hurt sounds come from Nine Sols, and Hornet's voice is silenced.
• Damage scales with your needle upgrades.
