Save file

[The Master Sword]

Does anyone have a save file with 100% (or close to it) completion of the base game, but no DLC done you can possibly kick my way? I played this game years ago and did everything, but now I kinda wanna return for the DLC, but have since deleted all the files. Ty in advance.

I think I've got one with the Paladin and one with the Priestess if one of those would do?

If so, let me know which you'd rather have and whether you want the file before Zangdar or immediately at the start of Ruins of Limis and I should be able to upload it for you.

Priestess is what I chose, so her preferably and after the final boss, but before any DLC if possible. I did everything in the base game, but I'd replay some if the save file didn't line up perfect. Thanks a bunch!

There's no save opportunity between the boss and the start of the DLC as far as I'm aware. The post boss cutscene just kicks straight in and takes you to the DLC.

I've uploaded two save files to file bin. Save 67 is immediately before Zangdar, save 68 is immediately afterwards. These should be downloadable for the next week:

If you don't already know, the save file path is C:\Users\{Username}\AppData\LocalLow\Artefacts Studio\Naheulbeuk\Save\ . I guess you need to disable steam cloud saves, download the file and put it there, then re-enable the cloud while you're already in game so it doesn't overwrite from the cloud.

I think your options for watching the cutscene and entering the DLC will be to load the pre-Zangdar save 67 and just fight and beat him; or to start the Limis DLC and choose the import save option from save 67; or lastly to start the DLC from scratch to watch the cutscene play out, then quit out and load the start of DLC save file 68 and play from there.

I've tinkered with some settings such as making the character barks chatty and auto refilling belts. The game is set to Gzor's Nightmare, so if that's not your preferred difficulty you may want to tweak those settings from the menu before continuing.

There should be loads of potions of oblivion to respec your characters the way you want them, instead of how I have them loaded out. Gear choices are probably locked in to what I made, but there may be the odd thing in the inventory or the buyback menus of the vendors if you load save 67 and play from that. That said the gear and specs should be solid enough.

Oh, also, I think I loaded up on expensive items and consumables to sell for cash (the game takes all your money, but you can effectively bypass that with items), so the party might be slightly overburdened in save 68. You can probably just toss out half a dozen potions to get rid of the weight penalty, because the move speed is really annoying if you don't know where the inn is to go and sell items.

ETA: I probably assumed you're playing on Windows. If not, then I guess the save file path is wrong, but I would think the save file should still be compatible if you can find the correct path.

Fantastic, everything works. Great explanation. Thanks a ton!

[Fringehunter7719]

Awesome. Cheers for letting me know it worked.

I hope you have a good time with the DLC!

I have a priestess save on epic, that has a full inventory that is right before the Goldbarg fight, so you can do that and then do the final fight, or just do the final fight. It also has a bunch of oblivion potions in inventory so you can respec everyone.

Hi The Master Sword,
I don't know if you are aware but you can start any DLC with a preset team of heroes.
People are awesome so you won't need it, but if you want to try others things later keep it in mind !

[The Master Sword]

Hmm so you can it seems. I thought you needed a save at chapter 9. Thanks for the info!

[gniarck]

Hi, someone have a chapter 9 savegame ? or can reupload it?
thanks

[Fringehunter7719]

I think I probably do if I download files from the cloud. IIRC I have files with the Paladin and Priestess.

Can you give more info on whether you are looking for a save that is right at the start of chapter 9, and whether you want the Priestess, Paladin, Minstrel, none or don't mind?

[gniarck]

i prefer the priestess, to the start of the 9, before the zandgdard office
thanks

I've uploaded a save file here:

https://filebin.net/5xsw6p7h8ink1ujj

That's right at the start of chapter 9, with the Priestess. The link should work for 1 week.

Repeating details from above:
If you don't already know, the save file path, when using Windows at least, is C:\Users\{Username}\AppData\LocalLow\Artefacts Studio\Naheulbeuk\Save\ . I guess you need to disable steam cloud saves, download the file and put it there, then re-enable the cloud while you're already in game so it doesn't overwrite from the cloud.

I hope that works for you. Let me know if there are any problems downloading the file!

Can you upload back your save ?

Possibly. I'll have to download the game to see what saves are still on the Steam cloud.

What are you looking for, in terms of chapter and companion?
