Elden Ring SaveForge
What Elden Ring SaveForge is
Elden Ring SaveForge is a Windows desktop application for reading and editing Elden Ring saves. It works with PC Steam .sl2 files and PS4 memory.dat files, and can convert saves between those formats. Character controls cover level, attributes, runes, NG+ cycle, class, body type, talisman slots, and memory stones. Its item database offers search, categories, favorites, and item details, with capacity checks when adding items to inventory or storage. Save scans can flag inventory issues and provide repair flows for supported quantity, duplicate, or index problems. Safe, Expanded Limits, and Chaos profiles set item limits and handle risky or cut-content items; dangerous actions have warnings and confirmation gates. Save writes are backed up automatically, and Chaos Mode requires an explicit backup step. The project describes the application as early and unstable, and warns that it can irrecoverably corrupt saves. It advises working on copies and avoiding a main account or primary save. The software is free and licensed under GPL-3.0; the project says it is not affiliated with FromSoftware or Bandai Namco.
