What is Randomizer? Randomizer 4 is a mod for Hollow Knight that swaps around item placements in the game. The randomization is not purely random; instead, the randomizer has complex logic that works behind the scenes to ensure that all items can be reached and obtained.
There are many ways to enjoy rando. Randomizer may be played to THK ending or TE to start. Some people add on extra randomization settings through randomizer connections to spice up their gameplay. Others start racing randomizer once they are comfortable with the items and locations, and think that they can finish seeds reliably. All in all, there is no "correct" way to enjoy playing rando and you are encouraged to experiment with settings, connections, end goals, and racing formats to find what you like most!

The 2024 Blackout True Ending randomizer tournament is over! Thank you so much to everyone who participated; it was a ton of fun...even if we're all completely burnt out of BOTE now. If you missed any of matches or want to rewatch any of your faves, the entire tournament is now highlighted on our community Twitch channel and you can find the matches in this collection.
September 2024
A new rando mod, UnRando, has been released! UnRando fixes the order of items that the player receives. This means that no matter which order you pick up checks in, you'll always get the first item first, the second item second, the third item third...This makes it really nice for racers that want their races to be a test of speed instead of luck. Yippee!
