How to restore game to an earlier point?

[DunderOgge]

*IMPORTANT, READ THIS*: I havent played online, only "singelplayer" so what I have done havent effected anyone except me.


I made a mistake by cheating and getting as many souls as I wanted to. I founf the nameless king boss too hard and because im lazy I cheated. Now I regret it.

I wonder if I can restore the game to an earlier point? , before i cheated. Is there something I can do similar to that? Like killing every boss in 1 hit and that bring back all stats when im at nameless king.

The game doesn't back up automatically, nor does it work with steam cloud.. If you've not been backing up your save files in appdata yourself then I don't think you can go back from that.

Best thing is that you don't even own the game.

You can savescum like any other game. But short of preventing softbans due to hacking invaders, save scumming is just for scum :D

Whats savescum? Or did I say something stupid right now?

Why would they lie about having the game just to ask a question like this? Odds are they don't want the abuse associated with someone finding out someone's a cheater lol
But like I said, if you don't have a backup, you don't have squatdiddlydum.

EDIT: Savescumming is describing people who keep loading/restoring old saves if something didn't go how they want, ie if they lost a load of souls by dying twice, they could load an older save and poof, mistake gone.

It's backing up the save file and restoring it when you don't like something that happened. I'm honestly fine with it, but it's frowned upon within the community in general even though it has reputable uses.

Save location: C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\DarkSoulsIII\some_hashed_ID_value

*sigh*

There are multiple reasons for wanting to restore a save, not just because of "failure". If we're going to call loading a save "scummy", then let's toss in the whole idea of no game overs in Dark Souls as "scummy" too. I mean, there's no real punishment in dying, so it's unlimited retries, right?

Regardless, let's be helpful.

Bamco is completely fine with people backing saves up so long as they are unaltered. Here's how, as weel as more information about the whole thing : https://www.reddit.com/r/darksouls3/comments/4h498o/psa_it_is_completely_safe_to_backup_save_files/
