This is also just a pretty good idea in general, in case anything happens to your main save. Existing spells that used to be bad were improved. If you run into a nasty invasion encounter (or get the “Invalid Game Data” message for whatever other reason), you’ll now have a ‘clean’ save you can drop back in. This mod grants you a whole new Dark Souls experience with newly added spells. You can either do it manually, by finding your saved game in ‘Users\\AppData\Roaming\DarkSoulsIII\’, and copying the ‘DS30000.sl2’ file, or by using a handy automated backup program. Of course, Dark Souls 3 being the sort of game it is, it doesn’t keep multiple save back-ups. This would allow any players who end up receiving a hacked item/equipment unknowingly from an online player, the ability to restore their original game data from the cloud or separate backed up game data.” This advice comes straight from Namco Bandai themselves, who say: “ It is recommended that players should always back up their save data to an online service (such as cloud saves) or as a direct back-up of the save file to a separate folder/directory (for PC/Steam).
