Where Are Lords of the Fallen Save Files Located?
Lords of the Fallen's LOTF2 SaveGames folder, backup file naming, and cloud restore trick.
Last updated
The 2023 Lords of the Fallen saves under a LOTF2 folder in local AppData, not anything named after the full title. GeneralSave.sav and Save00.sav carry progress with Backup suffixed copies beside them.
Corruption on freeze is common enough to plan for. Keep a dated copy of SaveGames after long sessions, and pull yesterday's copy from Steam remote storage when local files die.

Frequently asked questions
How do I recover a corrupted Lords of the Fallen save?
Download the pre corruption copy from Steam remote storage into SaveGames, or rename the newest Backup suffixed files to drop the Backup text. Back up first either way.
Can I install a downloaded NG+ save?
Yes. Back up yours, clear SaveGames, drop in the downloaded folder, launch with Cloud off, then re-enable Cloud and keep local on prompt.
