Elden Ring SaveForge
What it is
Elden Ring SaveForge is a free Windows desktop application for editing Elden Ring save files. It reads, edits, and writes PC Steam .sl2 and PS4 memory.dat saves, and converts between those formats. Character controls cover level, attributes, runes, NG+ cycle, class, body type, talisman slots, and memory stones. Its item database supports search, categories, favorites, item details, and adding items to inventory or storage after capacity checks. Save diagnostics scan for inventory issues and offer repair flows for supported problems. Safety profiles set item limits and address risky or cut-content items, while warnings and confirmation steps gate dangerous actions. 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 not using the app on a main account or primary save. SaveForge is GPL-3.0 licensed, is not affiliated with FromSoftware or Bandai Namco, and lists Discord as a contact channel.
