ELDEN RING: How To Back-Up Your Save
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 бер 2022
- I just wanted to show you guys how to safely back up your save files to prevent you from having issues with hackers online. Its also nice if you make mistakes in NPC quest-lines or really any reason you might have to want to revert your character before said mistake was made.

【GUIDE】
1.) find your .sl file by typing %appdata% in the search bar
1.i.) you can pin your Elden Ring save folder to Quick Access for future accessibility
2.) copy-paste the .sl file into a clearly labelled back-up folder in either your Cdrive, external drive or Google drive.
3.) at the end of any session you want to reload your back-up,Alt+f4 your game then copy-paste it from your back-up folder into your Elden Ring save folder
==========
CAUTION: do not share .sl file to or from friends for online play. They will get you banned. Also do not download any "Mule" files from Nexus Mods, they will also get you banned :)

You seem to be a bleach fan and I feel like causing chaos so Rukia is better than Orihime
Thanks for the video tho
it's ok, you're allowed to be objectively wrong.
(:
@@FyterianTV your entitled to have that opinion even though your wrong
@@shinigamisecret 😂
Blasphemy will not be tolerate🤣
@@shinigamisecret you are no longer allowed to have your opinion because you have made a grammatical error HAHAA.
This helped a lot. I got lord of frenzied flame my first playthrough (did Ranni questline 100%) powered my way through NG+ and did this to get my last 2 endings. I got 100% of achievements! Thank you!
it’s come to my attention that a certain hacker i alluded to can now bypass EAC online, now is more important than ever to make back-ups!
EAC is absurdly easy to get around if you know what you are doing. I mean it’s better than nothing but the people who have experience dodging bans are mostly unaffected
@@rileysmith8765 guess it's called easy anti cheat for a reason then
do you have any idea why i might only have 1 save file in that folder when i have 2 characters. main character has 120 hours and my other has 27 hours
I bypasseD EAC easily.. lmao that anti-cheat is crap.
I beat the main game today, literally already up to the final boss again but needed this video to get the platinum trophy, thank you :)
thank you so much for this, my first play through I got the ranni ending, and on my second playthrough I was able to get the last two achievements
Thanks this helped a lot, I was able to get the other endings without starting the game over lol
I like how your entire friends list is playing ELDEN RING.
Friends that play Elden Ring together stay together :p
Thank you! I really wanted to have some peace of mind before starting NG+ just in case I wanted to finish up more content on journey 1. This allowed me to have a return point if NG+ clapped me and I wanted to do some more farming lol
Wasted my 6-7 hours losing all of the runes because of frequent deaths. You are a life saver pal. I used to do exact thing with Sekiro - Shadows die twice.
Thank you so much I know it’s late but thank you so much for taking the time to make this.🙏🏼🙏🏼
thanks man, i was so worried messing something up but this was a great tutorial
Liked for the Bleach wallpaper alone, The advice is just a bonus
Thank you for this! Helpful, straight to the point and very clear! 👍
Great Video, covers everything someone would need to know about backing up saves.
Thanks (:
You mention a lot of useful scenarios, the thing I use it the most for is duping items for friends, for example I got some drops or some quest rewards, that my friend didn't, and then I just backup my save, drop them the item, then re load my back up, and then I have my item again and they have one also.
yes, i also have a video on this :))
Can this get you banned?
@@johnfrankster3244 backing up your save will not. neither will duping.
Imagine duping hahaha...
Great Vid, Simple, quick and easy thank you.
Thank you so much man! I was now able to get all the endings in one save file
thanks bud, i got all 3 major endings in 1 go because of this :)
Best back up video i have watched, super easy to follow. Thank you.
Thank you my steam cloud has been messing up my saved of the game and this has helped me alot
Thanks for the help. I am trying to get 100% of the achievements with Steam and need to know this for achieving each of the endings of the game
Thanks for the help, game's been crashing a fair bit so it's nice to have backups. :)
I wish I could like this video a million times. Having gotten myself up to level 175 and a couple hundred hours, I would hate to have a hacker come to my game now. I've seen them popping up more and more.
Did this because there are some bosses that I really like fighting and don't want to wait till NG+ to fight again. Thanks bro
i did the same thing too! haha have fun (:
My level 150 character that I’ve put 86 hours into just got it’s save file corrupted cause I ended up invading some hackers. I’m attempting to fix the save file and I’ll be making a backup thanks to your help.
yeah it really sucks, i’ve been making back-ups since i lost my progression in DS3 due to hackers .
thanks for the simple video. it helps alot
Thank you, this is great for peace of mind
informative simple and quick thanks for the help
A hacker put me in a infinite death loop today but I got out of it. Thanks for making this video I’m definitely going to back up from now on
good, it takes seconds to do but can save a huge headache later! (:
how did you get out of it?
Was he a stand user ?
@@shiryobukai4634 wait until your character dies, and the second you load back in, alt f4 out of the game. relaunch the game and then the second you load back in press Map > Triangle (y) > X (A for xbox)
pretty much when you load in, you want to open the map and quickly teleport to the roundtable bonfire. you'll have about 3 seconds or so to do so to get out of the infinite death loop. if you mess up, you're gonna have to alt+f4 when youre character reloads in and try it again.
@@SonGoku5363 my friend is who got hacked, and he said he can't open his map so this doesn't work. he spent over an hour trying.
Thank you, i wanted to reroll without ng+ but keep my main save in case i want to ng+ later.
Thanks for the video!
thank you so much, very helpful
thanks for the video man
New to pc and this is amazing for pvp. Thank you!
I did it for Dark Souls 3 before but i forgot. Thank you for this video
*you earned a sub my g*
thank you!
thx so much! I heard people are going threw the abyss again lol I needed to know how to do this
Thank you man!
Thx for the help, mate !!!
No worries!
Just wanted to let you know the hackers did get the save corruption working, unknowingly summoned a hacker into my game a few days ago, as soon as we entered boss arena he flew up in the sky and out of bounds, and then the boss slowly levitated before freezing in mid air. As soon as the boss died I black screened. When I went to load the game back up steam said the save file was corrupted.
yeah, i didn't think it would be too long
Thank you for this
you're a legend
Superstar. Thankyou very much!
thanks bro very helpful
i help anytime
thanks a ton, im doing a randomizer and im gonna use this incase it ruinds my other saves

I do NOT recommend you keep ANY files saved in your recycling bin. This is bad practice. You should not use your recycling bin for storage. Use literally any other spot on your computer.
Hell, you could even just make a new folder within your Elden Ring folder and call it "backups"
Even if you uninstall Elden Ring via Steam, this folder will still remain as it is not part of the game's file structure.
Other than this small thing - great video! Clear voice and easy instructions. Thank you :)
you do you.
but i am categorically not advising people to “use their recycling bin for *storage*”.
you delete things, they go there for a period of time before being deleted permanently. it’s just how it works.
@@FyterianTV you do you indeed. :)
WTF :D where in the video does he say that you should use the bin as folder for backups? :D
Thx bro 👏🏻❤️
thanks dude, appreciated
no probs!
Great tutorial thank you
Im here because my trash pc sometime sudden fronze or auto shutdown when play elden ring, and my lvl98 save file corrupted. Long gone. Game is good but got punish by having trash pc is so painful, hopefully this backup method will help my next character
Appreciate the knowledge, always play it safe.
Ah why thank you kind sir. I can now go for the Frenzied Flame. Didnt want my waifu ghosting me in my first playthrough lol.
Yeah like the deathbed Smalls can get you banned, but for one of the reasons to get backup saves is to get all ending in one playthrough I got ending first playthrough, I will get another ending second playthrough the frenzied flame but it’s too complicated since I can use the usb flash drive since it’s a ps5 game so I will just do another playthrough and get the trophy it will still count
Super great video, exactly what I wanted. Just commenting because I hear its good for the YT algo or helps burn calories, idk.
thank you for the comment then!
(:
Thanks for your help. If you have friend then you can dupe any item via that way
yeah i've got a video on that too :p
Thank you!
no probs!
Thanks a lot
cheers man, about to start NG+ and want a backup in case i get mauled
Dont worry NG+ in souls games is always way easier than your first play through.
@@sv_sup6661 not true, each ng+ increases the difficulty and increases runes received by 550%
@@totalanonymous8180 He means its easier because youre already leveled, which is very true. Each enemy might individually be stronger, but the difference between you and the enemy is so much greater on NG+
thanks home slice, time to get all endings in one play through heheehha
did this work for you to have all the endings?
@@nicolasgonzalez9538 yea It worked, I just did everything up until the last boss. Made a save with the frenzy, got rid of the frenzy and then beat the boss until I was in the room where you pick the ends and made a save there. You only get an achievement from the frenz, ranni and normal ending.
@@Ani-lc6op thank u bro
@@Ani-lc6op how did u do it? did u just copy the save file and overwrite it after u done one of the endings?
@@juby019 yea just make the save after you finish the last boss then put your save into a folder so you can just keep overriding the original once you select an end.
thanks!
thanks
Thanks
bro you are literally 3 months into the FUTURE
BROOO!! 😱😂
ty
Cool fashion bro
RadahnArrive
wicked!
came here after watching the "go to brazil" hacker lmao
go to brazil hacker??
0.o
Thanks so much man you helped so much i tried my self and fucked my save over but this worked for me
How does this work if you have multiple characters? Does it contain the saves for both of them or only for one?
a single .sl file will contain all your character saves
:)
@@FyterianTV Cheers
Orihime wallpaper what a Chad
thanks xD
nice desktop btw cant wait till bleach returns
😬
Can I create multiple saves of the same point at the end right before the final boss? So I can load different save files with each ending?
Yep.
@@FyterianTV I just need to then go to “load game” and there I’ll have all the different saves right?
So i can like revert defeating a boss?
Like yesterday i defeated Maliketh but i noticed i wasnt recording (+i would really want to fight him again some time) and now im after Gideon and im currently receiving spanking from Godfrey, would it be possible to go to the state before Maliketh's defeat?
ah yeah, so long as you made the back-up before defeating said boss, this is what i do
@@FyterianTV oh well...then im fucked
Thanks anyway, your guide is very helpful yknow
With it i might avoid situations like this
thank you so much
i couldnt find the data for DS1 you have an idea why?. i found Ds 2, 3 and Elden Ring
it's different, i've been meaning to do a video on DS1 save back ups. bear with me (:
Even though i didn't backup, im now on a NG+
And will %100 this game entirely with achievements
Is this going to cause an issue with the Steam cloud save Syncronization I decide to replace the file that is syncr. with the cloud with the backup copy?
Also are you sure that it will not cause problems with the anticheat since it's about changin game files?
backing up with *your own* file is fine.
it will just resync the cloud file
Wasn't this considered a bannable offense back in DS3? I want to back up my saves so I can try new builds without wasting Larval tears but I'd really not want to risk being able to play with friends.
this didn’t get you banned in DS3. anyone who got banned was probably doing something else too.
it’s important to make back ups because a certain hacker, whom i allude to in this video, has recently been able to get Cheat Engine to work on Elden Ring. and while he can’t do it online yet,,, i believe it’s only a matter of time.
this is why i thought it important to make and release this video.
@@FyterianTV Malcolm Reynolds just posted a video with a cheat engine'd spell titled: This bans them :)
I did this all the time in DS3. Never got banned
Here cuz I saw someone sent to Brazil
What about that ER000.sl2.bak file? Do you have to save or delete that file as well or is it fine to just leave it as is?
ignore .bak files
I’m on PS5, so this might not help me. But VALID Pc Background ! Orihime on top!
Squad Orihime support is always welcome on the channel!
p.s. just in-case you were also serious, you can back up save on PS5 using cloud saves. i don't have PlayStation, so i can't make a guide on it, but they are around on YT (:
*what's up, what's up*
Trying to do this but every time I open the game, the original save is back in the game file. Any fixes for this or am I doing it wrong?
i think you're doing it wrong.
sorry i can't be more helpful without extra information
eyo i have played trough the game with a friend on his pc, because my pc was broken for 3 weeks. Now i can play the game but i want to start with ng + without playing it completly trough again. Is it possible to take the save file of my friend where we have our shared character and to import it to mine? So that i can NG + with him together?
if you use your friend’s save file you’ll get banned, but you can do it.
Can this be used to do infinite respecs for pvp? Say I make a backup and then I spend a larval tear for a new build and play around with it a bit but then I can just load up the old save?
yep
(:
@@FyterianTV this is totaly ok and not bannable?
Is it possible to paste the copied file into the same folder to make a copy of your already existing character, without any game complications? I'm at lvl 100 something ish with a dex/arcane built. But I've gotten a few spells that I wanna use with a different build by Rebirthing, without losing what I already have on my character.
AFAIK you can't paste the .SL file in the Game folder to have 2 files in there. Your game can only run 1 .SL file at a time.
Instead, make a back-up then rebirth yourself and play around with the spells. When you're finished just reload your back-up and you'll be back at your pre-rebirth state. You can have practically infinite builds this way. This is what ChasetheBro and Scott Jund do to have infinite PvP builds.
@@FyterianTV Cheers mate! Appreciate it!
What did you do to the original copy at 4:14?
i deleted the savefile in the Elden Ring folder. you can paste and replace it, but i delete it instead because it sends it to the Recycling Bin, so if i make a mistake i can restore the original file.
@@FyterianTV thank you
@@FyterianTV oh yeah is there a way to make multiple copies?
@@thetriangularcheeto1234 you can make infinite copies, if you wish. only one can be used at a time ofc
(:
Here comes a question. If for example, I reinstall my PC and the local files are more up to date than the ones saved by the steam cloud, I can replace the Steam save file with my local one without any problem right?
should be right.
Is there a way to make my backup as a new save slot in the game, so I can load different saves?
you can do this. some people do this to have 20-30 characters. just be careful and remember which file is which
@@FyterianTV Could you explain what has to be exactly done to do this?
@@kumaru4736 ^
@@FyterianTV How is it done?
@@kumaru4736 yeah, i’ll make a separate video for it. university just went back in 🇦🇺, so i’ve been a bit busy. maybe gimme a week or so :)
Doing this wouldn't get me banned from modifying game file right? I'm just curious because someone said that they were banned. If not I'll do it. My steam cloud sync having problem sometimes.
backing up your save file is safe
is the sl file always the same name? I want to have many backups of my character at various levels saved to save time on making invasion characters. I'll have to change file names for organization and change them back later.
put them in different sub-folders, and name the folders the name of the build :)
@@FyterianTV I've just been adding (RL) to the name. Is there a reason I need different subfolders?
Im just not a fan of new game plus but thought itd be a waste to delete my progress to start a new char
question, by doing backup is it ok for me to use it for getting all ending on first playthrough? I won't get banned by doing it? for example I've finished Ranni's quests, Fia's Quests, Hyetta, and old the NPC side quests that can lead to different ending. can i just reload the save to get all the ending one by one? or it can lead to ban?
tl;dr yes, it's safe
longer answer: as long as you use your own .sl file it's safe to use it to get all endings, this is what myself and others are doing to get achievements.
what will get you banned is using someone else's .sl file
NEVER use someone else's .sl file
@@FyterianTV aaah thank u. this would save me a lots of time before starting new game plus. Thanks again
@@FreakyBeaRTV thanks for the sub 🙏 only 18 more until i reach 1k and delete my channel 😂
@@FyterianTV lol, why u wanna delete it? u closer to monetization bruhh
@@FreakyBeaRTV it’s an April Fool’s joke i made on my community tab. i have a few more games i wanna cover on my channel before i delete it 😂
two questions:
1-if i change the name of the save file will that mess it up? if i needed to back it up i'll change the name back to what it was, just asking if it would get corrupted or something like that.
2-there's another file in the folder that's the exact same except it has ".bak" at the end. if the current save status doesn't line up with the backup the game made, will that mess up something?
2.) ignore the .bak file
1.) you can change the name of the back up file if you really want while you're not using it, just remember to change it back before using it. to be honest i'm not sure why you'd feel compelled to change its name, just adds another layer of complexity to the process
@@FyterianTV i wanted to change the name so i could have multiple saves and name them like "elden ring 92 hours", "elden ring 108 hours" etc. but just having one works as well
@@retrocat what i do for Elden Ring specifically is i create sub-folders, and i rename the sub-folders which i put the back up saves in.
For example I have a back-up save for every boss fight so i can practice, and i name the folder that boss' name and put the savefile in that.
@@FyterianTV ahh ok that makes sense. thanks for the help!
copy the whole folder i tried his stuff now the game ignores my backups and just loads me in right after the last cutscene not before choosing the end
you did something wrong then.
Can you do this to make two save files. For example if I want to make a save file at sl120 for PvP and then carry on leveling til sl150 so I have two SL files?
yep
@@FyterianTV so what do you do, just ctrl c and ctrl v the save file?
used to beat the game
I don't play Elden Ring, but I have been considering backing up my Witcher 3 saves before uninstalling and deleting my game's steam folder before reinstalling. My goal is to refresh the game from mods without ruining my save file. Now, could I simply moving the gamesaves folder from my Witcher 3 documents to my desktop, delete the documents folder along with TW3 steam folder, reinstall the entire game, and move the gamesaves back into the documents folder?
i don't know. this is a video on Elden Ring
Wait u got an option to pick which game save you use one back up?
the .sl files contain all your saves
When i want to update the backup, should I just delete the old one and paste a newer one there?
yes 👍
can you clone a savefile like have two equal save files
Yes.
