Help with a bugged Grub?

[TheBrilliantMistake]

Hello all!
I am trying to get all of the Grubs, and just need one more. It tells me that it is in the area above the Collector fight, but there is nothing there. I skipped over one just trying to grab the map, and forgot to get it before quitting out, and now when I go back, there is nothing there and I can't get my last Grub that I will need.

EDIT: Thanks to rezno, I found out about a save editor and was able to fix this for the most part. The Grub still shows up on the map, but I have credit for all Grubs! Thanks again for the help.

Like I wrote in my latest v2.0.0 update to Save Completion Analyzer, I believe that this may be a bug in some recent versions of the game (at minimum from 1.4.3.2, it was not present in 1.0.0.6 when I played it).

Note: Due to a bug in recent versions of Hollow Knight, Grubs #33 and #34 (The Collector/Tower of Love) are not marked as released correctly in the save file. As a workaround for this bug, when Grub #32 is detected as released, #33 and #34 are automatically marked as released too in this app.

Unfortunately, I don't know what else you can do at this point other than editing your save file. You can write a bug report to Team Cherry to let them know about it (pinned FAQ here).

Somehow when releasing Grub #32, if you don't release two others at the same game session, the game marks them as "released", yet doesn't mark them off the map and may not add them to total Grubs released count.

You can also check the Save Completion Analyzer and verify if Grubs Rescued count in tab Essentials % is equal to Grubs number in Collectibles tab.

Does SCA allow for save file modification to, for example, fix the grubs issue?

No. It only is a reader, will never be an editor. There is a great save editor I use here:
https://bloodorca.github.io/hollow/

One can't really fix it, if it's a bug in the game. One can only add +1 (or +2) to "grubsCollected" and remove the grub marker from the map.

Sounds good, I will take a look when I have a chance
