No. In the current Early Access and Release builds, Moon Studios has disabled the developer console to ensure the stability of the Realm save system. Standard hotkeys like ~ or F1 do not work. To use cheats like God Mode or Infinite Stamina, players must use an external memory trainer like XMODhub, as text commands are not supported.
Surviving the plague-ridden Isola Sacra in No Rest for the Wicked is punishing. Moon Studios has created a beautiful but brutal ARPG where stamina management is key, and the controversial “durability death spiral” can leave you fighting bosses with broken gear.
It is natural to look for an advantage. Whether you want to test a new build without farming specifically for Fallen Embers or simply bypass the repair costs, using No Rest for the Wicked console commands is a popular request.
Below is the complete guide on the status of the console, the known command logic, and the safer alternative to cheat without corrupting your realm data.
No Rest for the Wicked does not function like Skyrim or Fallout. In the current build, the developers have completely disabled the developer console for public players.
Why? Because the game uses a complex “Realm” save system that tracks world state changes dynamically. Typing a command like spawn_boss or force_weather could permanently desync your save file, rendering your character unplayable. While some modders have tried to force a debug menu open via DLL injection, it is highly unstable. XMODhub recommends using an external memory trainer to safely inject cheats like Infinite Health without touching the game’s core logic.

How to Attempt Enabling the Console
If you see guides telling you to “Press Tilde (~)” to open the console, they are likely outdated or referring to a different game. Here is the technical reality for No Rest for the Wicked:
Method A (Standard Hotkeys)
Common keys like Tilde (~), F1, or F5 do not trigger any overlay in the standard Steam version of the game.
Method B (Steam Launch Options)
Some players try adding arguments like -console or -debug in the Steam Properties menu. Currently, the game engine ignores these parameters in the public release build.
Method C (Modding Frameworks)
The only way to potentially see a console is by injecting a DLL hook (like MelonLoader or BepInEx) designed specifically for this game’s engine. However, this is risky:
Hotfix Risk: Game updates are frequent and will break these mods instantly, causing crashes on startup.
Anti-Cheat: Using DLL injectors can trigger warnings if you accidentally go online.
(If you just want Infinite Stamina and don’t want to code, skip to the XMODhub Solution below.)
The “Lost” Command List (God Mode & Resources)
If a debug menu were accessible, it would likely use standard internal variable names. While you cannot type these in a chat box, knowing them helps understand what the Trainer modifies directly in memory:
Player & Combat Variables
SetHealth [value] – Modifies current HP.
SetStamina [value] – Sets stamina. (The most critical stat for combat).
SetPoise [value] – Determines how easily you get staggered.
RepairAllItems – Instantly fixes durability (The most requested feature).
The Problem: Item IDs & Random Stats
Players often search for specific Item IDs to spawn legendary weapons.
Here is why that doesn’t work well:
No Rest for the Wicked uses a Diablo-style loot system. A “Claymore” isn’t just one Item ID; it has random Rarity, Affixes (e.g., “+5% Fire Damage”), and Gem Slots.
Trying to spawn an item via a simple command often results in a “Blank” item with zero stats because the game needs to generate the random seed for it. It is much safer to use Infinite Gold to buy items or Infinite Resources to upgrade them legitimately.
Critical Pain Point: Durability & Respec Costs
We analyzed the top community complaints. Here is why players turn to cheats, and how XMODhub solves it better than a console:
1. The Durability Trap
Dying repeatedly to a boss can break your gear, leaving you too weak to fight and too poor to repair.
Launch: Open XMODhub and select No Rest for the Wicked.
Activate: Toggle Infinite Health, No Durability Loss, or Easy Crafting.
FAQ
Q: Does No Rest for the Wicked have a built-in cheat code menu?
A: No. The developers have disabled the console to ensure game stability during Early Access.
Q: Can I use the trainer in Multiplayer/Co-op?
A: No. XMODhub is designed strictly for Offline / Single Player use. Using cheats in online realms can ruin the experience for others and may risk a ban or save restrictions.
Q: How do I get infinite money without commands?
A: Since add_money commands are not available, the XMODhub Trainer allows you to set your Gold/Silver count to any amount instantly or freeze your currency so it never decreases when buying items.
Q: Will using cheats disable Steam Achievements?
A: Generally, using memory trainers like XMODhub does not disable Steam Achievements for this game, allowing you to unlock progress milestones even with God Mode enabled.
Conclusion: Cheat Smarter
While we all love the nostalgia of typing codes into a console, modern ARPGs like No Rest for the Wicked are too complex for simple text commands.
Don’t let the durability grind or the scarcity of Fallen Embers stop you from exploring the Cerim Crucible. XMODhub offers the safest, fastest way to customize your difficulty.
