We’ve all been there. You finally beat Ornstein and Smough after 47 tries, take a deep breath, and then... your PC blue-screens. Or your PlayStation saves over your file. Or you just really want to try a Giant Dad build without replaying the first ten hours.
The file is named DRAKS0005.sl2 . Copy that file anywhere else (Desktop, a folder called "DS_Saves," Google Drive) to back it up.
In Dark Souls: Remastered , your save file isn't just data—it’s your soul (literally). Here is everything you need to know about backing up, recovering, and swapping save files for Lordran’s finest remaster. Unlike modern auto-save heavy games, Dark Souls saves constantly, but it only keeps one rolling file. If you get soft-locked, invaded by a hacker who breaks your stats, or simply make a fatal NPC mistake (sorry, Solaire), there is no "Chapter Select" to rewind time.
Where to Find Your Save File (PC) For Dark Souls: Remastered on Steam, the save location is different from the original Prepare to Die Edition. Do not go looking for draks0005.sl2 in the old spots.
