Elden Ring 100% Save File for PC (Complete Save)
Elden Ring
Save File Overview
This elden ring save file lands you at the very edge of the Lands Between with the main story finished and the ending triggered. Every major boss tied to the main path — Godrick, Radahn, Mohg, Malenia, Maliketh, Rennala, the works — is down, and the Erdtree itself has been reached. Character level sits well past the point where stats stop being a wall, with a loadout of endgame weapons, talismans, and Ashes of War ready to swap between builds. Great Runes are collected and active, and the map is fully explored across Limgrave, Liurnia, Caelid, the Altus Plateau, Mountaintops, and the Capital. Shadow of the Erdtree's prerequisites — Mohg and Radahn defeated — are already met, so the DLC zone is reachable the moment you load in with the expansion installed. If you want to skip the 60+ hour campaign and go straight into NG+, DLC exploration, or endgame PvP builds, this save gets you there without another full run through the Lands Between.
Game Version & Compatibility Details
Version: PC — Steam (Steam App ID 1245620).
Progress: 100% Completed — Main Story Finished, Ending Reached, Shadow of the Erdtree Prerequisites Met
File Size: Approx. 1–3 MB (estimated — Elden Ring save files are small; exact size depends on the uploaded archive).
Elden Ring's PC version runs on Steam, and the save file — ER0000.sl2 — is tied to the Steam ID it was created under. That's the biggest compatibility issue with any downloaded Elden Ring save: dropping someone else's .sl2 file straight into your Steam ID folder shows up as corrupted or fails to load, because the game checks the embedded Steam ID against your account. A save-ID tool like Elden Ring Save Manager is the standard way around this — it rewrites the ID inside the file to match your own account. Shadow of the Erdtree access depends on the base game being patched to version 1.12 or later; older installs won't recognize the DLC even if it's installed. This save has Mohg and Radahn already defeated, so the DLC becomes accessible the moment your game is updated and the expansion is installed. GeForce NOW and Xbox Game Pass versions may store saves differently and aren't covered by this Steam-specific path.
Save Location Guide & Directory Path
C:\Users\<YourUsername>\AppData\Roaming\EldenRing\<YourSteamID64>\ER0000.sl2Close Elden Ring completely before touching this folder — the game writes to it on exit, and editing it mid-session risks corruption. Open File Explorer, then type %appdata% into the address bar and hit Enter — this jumps straight to the Roaming folder without digging through hidden folders manually. Inside, open the EldenRing folder, then look for a subfolder named with a long string of numbers; that's your Steam ID64, specific to your account. Inside that folder, you'll see ER0000.sl2, your active save, and ER0000.sl2.bak, a backup the game creates automatically. Fully close Steam too, since Steam Cloud can restore an older save from the cloud the moment the client reconnects, overwriting whatever you just dropped in. Once you're inside the Steam ID folder, ER0000.sl2 is the exact file you'll be replacing.
Step-by-Step Installation Instructions
Backup & Safety Notes
Copy ER0000.sl2 and ER0000.sl2.bak out of your Steam ID folder before replacing anything — that's your full rollback if the new save doesn't work or you want your original character back. Steam Cloud is the main risk here: if it's enabled, it can pull your old save back down and overwrite the replacement the next time you launch the game, so disable it in Steam's game properties first. Because Elden Ring saves are Steam-ID locked, a save downloaded from another account will likely show as corrupted until its embedded ID is matched to yours with a save-ID tool. If you're running Seamless Co-op or other mods, note that they use a separate save file (ER0000.co2) and won't be affected by replacing the base .sl2. A normal save swap here is just copying two files — nothing about it should ever require running an .exe.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this Elden Ring save file work with Shadow of the Erdtree installed?
Yes. Mohg and Radahn are already defeated in this save, which are the two prerequisites for reaching the DLC. Your base game just needs to be patched to version 1.12 or later for the expansion to be recognized.
Why does my downloaded Elden Ring save show up as corrupted?
This almost always comes down to a Steam ID mismatch — ER0000.sl2 has the original account's Steam ID embedded in it, and your game rejects saves that don't match your own ID. Running the save through a save-ID tool to rewrite that ID is the standard fix before the file will load.
Summary
This save puts you at the finished end of Elden Ring's main story with Shadow of the Erdtree already reachable, so you skip the 60-hour run to get there. It's built for the Steam version specifically, and because Elden Ring saves are Steam-ID locked, you'll likely need a save-ID tool to match the file to your account before it loads. Back up your current ER0000.sl2 and .bak files before replacing anything, and turn off Steam Cloud first so it doesn't restore your old character. If the save shows up as corrupted after installing it, the Steam ID mismatch is the first thing to check. From there, jump straight into the DLC or start a new NG+ cycle.
