Hollow Knight Randomizer "I'm Stuck" Solver
Have you had a randomizer run where you've checked every item but still don't know where to go? Is there a skip that's really difficult for you and you want to know if it's worth the time? This tool can help.
Give it a path to your save files, and it will tell you what items you can reach which will unlock new items/locations.
Use it from the browser
Visit https://sgrif.github.io/hollow_rando_im_stuck/, click "Select
Files", select RawSpoilerLog.json and
TrackerData.json, and then click "Run"
Use it from the command line
hollow_rando_im_stuck path/to/save
On Windows with the default save locations, this would look like
hollow_rando_im_stuck.exe "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knight\Randomizer 4\Recent"
(replace Recent with user1-4 for specific save slots)
The path must be a directory containing RawSpoilerLog.json and
TrackerData.json
By default, the tool will tell you the locations you should check, and how many
new locations will be unlocked by checking it. For example, "Getting the item at
Grubfather will unlock 13 locations". You can get the name of the item to pick
up by passing --show-items, and get the names of the locations each item
unlocks by passing --show-unlocked-locations.

Development Status
This tool is in a somewhat early stage. It should be mostly feature complete short of some obscure edge cases, but still needs comprehensive testing to find any major bugs.
This has not yet been tested with mods that add new items/checks or modify the logic, but I have no reason to believe that it will struggle with those.
Known Issues
- The tool will only provide an answer if a single pickup or category of pickups (e.g. grubs, essence) would unlock a new location or item in a shop. It will fail if a new location is only unlocked by picking up two separate items.
- Notch costs are ignored. It is assumed you always have enough notches to wear any charms needed.
