The Relic: First Guardian 100% Save File for PC
The Relic: First Guardian
Save File Overview
A completed the relic first guardian save file opens up endgame progress across all regional zones. The save features all main storyline chapters completed, optional boss fights cleared, and high-tier armor sets and legendary weapons fully upgraded. Character skill points are fully allocated, craftable recipes are collected, and late-game boss arenas are cleared. Using an endgame save helps if your local save file corrupted during an unexpected crash or if you want to test high-level combat builds without re-clearing early areas. You can jump directly into post-game boss challenges, explore fully uncovered maps, or test weapon combinations on endgame foes.

The Relic: First Guardian stores local user data inside your Windows user directory under AppData or Steam's `userdata` directory. Profile files like `SaveGame.sav` hold campaign quest status, unlocked waypoint fast-travel nodes, character stats, and inventory gear. Steam Cloud automatically backs up these local files, which means swapping save data while Steam is running can cause your new save to be overwritten by an older cloud copy. Save files are built for PC Steam releases. Different game patches keep basic save file structures intact, provided file naming formats match your target profile directory.
How to Apply This Save File Correctly
Essential Save File FAQs
Does this complete save file work across different patch versions of The Relic: First Guardian?
Yes, standard `.sav` profiles maintain compatibility across major game patches and updates.
What should I check if my save is missing or not loading after installation?
Ensure you disabled Steam Cloud before copying the file, and verify that the `.sav` file is placed directly in the `SaveGames` folder.
Are all endgame boss encounters, weapons, and map regions unlocked on this profile?
Yes, all main and optional boss fights are cleared, all map zones are uncovered, and endgame weapons are unlocked.
Will using a downloaded save file cause any bans on my Steam account?
No, replacing local single-player save data does not trigger anti-cheat bans.
Can I continue playing post-game content and testing different character builds?
Yes, loading the save places your character into free-roam post-game play, allowing complete freedom to swap builds and explore.
Preventing Progress Loss: Backup Reminders
Always make a safety backup of your original save directory before overwriting any system files. Copy your active `SaveGames` folder onto your desktop as a quick rollback point. If Steam Cloud detects a file conflict on game launch, select the option to keep local files. Restoring your desktop backup returns your original save state immediately if your load slot shows missing data. Swapping single-player offline save files carries zero risk of account bans.
Summary
Loading a completed the relic first guardian save file grants immediate access to endgame gear, unlocked map zones, and cleared boss progress. Paste your downloaded `.sav` file into your local `SaveGames` folder while Steam is completely closed. Keep a backup copy of your initial save folder on your desktop before overwriting existing files. Turn off Steam Cloud in your launcher settings if your local progress resets on boot. Copy the files into your directory, launch the game, and test your endgame builds right away.
