Editor’s Note: Can You Cheat in Styx: Blades of Greed?
“Styx: Blades of Greed runs on Unreal Engine 5. In the current release build, the developers have locked the console key (~).
While you can try modifying the Input.ini config file to bind the key manually, UE5 updates often reset these files. For a seamless experience (especially for features like Infinite Amber), at XMODhub, we recommend using an external memory trainer to inject cheats safely.”
Mastering the shadows in Styx: Blades of Greed is brutal. Whether you are stuck trying to ghost the “Elven Citadel” without raising an alarm, or simply want to experiment with ultimate goblin powers in a Sandbox run, using console commands is a popular way to bypass the punishing difficulty.
However, accessing the developer debug menu isn’t straightforward. Because the game runs on Unreal Engine 5, the developers have hidden the console by default to prevent players from breaking the stealth AI. Below is the complete guide on how to force the console open, the known command list, and the safer alternative to cheat without corrupting your save data.

How to Enable the Console (UE5 Method)
To access the debug menu, standard methods usually fail. Try these steps specifically for UE5 games:
Method A (Universal Unlocker):
Download the Universal Unreal Unlocker (UUU). Launch the game, then launch UUU and “Inject” it into the StyxBoG-Win64-Shipping.exe process. This will force the console open, usually with the ~ (Tilde) key.
Method B (Config File Tweak):
- Navigate to
%LOCALAPPDATA%\StyxBoG\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\. - Open Input.ini.
- Add the following lines:
ConsoleKey=Tilde
TypeKey=Tab
Method C (Launch Options):
Right-click the game in Steam > Properties > Launch Options and type -console or -debug.
(Note: This rarely works in the shipping build but is worth a try).
(If none of these work, the console is hard-coded shut. Skip to the XMODhub Solution below.)
Essential Console Commands List
If you manage to open the command line, here are the most useful cheats for a master thief.
| Command | Effect |
|---|---|
| god | God Mode. You take no damage from guards or falls. |
| slomo [value] | Change game speed. Use slomo 0.5 to slow down time for perfect parries or tricky jumps. |
| teleport | Teleports Styx to the surface your crosshair is pointing at. |
| stat fps | Displays your current frame rate. |
Skill Points & Amber Cheats
Since Styx doesn’t use a traditional inventory system (you don’t hold 50 swords), “Item IDs” are mostly relevant for resources.
Commands to modify resources:
- AddAmber [amount] (Experimental): Tries to add Amber for cloning abilities.
- GiveSkillPoints [amount]: Adds points to upgrade your stealth tree.
Warning: Since these specific commands vary based on the game’s internal variable names (e.g., Styx_Resource_Amber_C), guessing them in the console often results in a “Command not recognized” error.
(Tired of guessing variables? The XMODhub Trainer has a built-in “Infinite Amber” toggle that works instantly.)
The Problem: Why Console Commands Disable Achievements
Using the developer console comes with a cost:
- Achievement Lock: Typing
godusually flags your save file, permanently disabling Steam or Xbox Achievements like “Unseen, Unknown.” - Script Breaking: Using
ghostto fly through a locked door can break level triggers, causing the next objective to never spawn. - Inconvenience: You have to re-type
godevery time you load a save or die.
The Better Alternative: XMODhub Trainer (No Typing)
Stop memorizing UE5 commands. XMODhub acts as a visual overlay that bypasses the need for the developer console entirely.
| Feature | Console Commands | XMODhub Trainer |
|---|---|---|
| Method | Typing text manually | One-Click Hotkeys |
| Achievements | Disabled (High Risk) | Safe (Achievements Work) |
| Invisibility | ghost (Clunky noclip) | True “Invisible to AI” |
| Infinite Amber | Hard to find ID | Visual Toggle |
| Game Version | Breaks with updates | Auto-Updated via Cloud |

FAQ
Q: Can I use console commands in Co-op Mode?
No. Console commands are client-side but affect the game state. Using them in Co-op will cause a desync (disconnect) between you and your partner. Use XMODhub responsibly in private sessions only.
Q: What is the cheat for Invisibility?
The console command ghost lets you fly, but guards might still spot you. XMODhub offers a specific “Invisible to AI” feature that lets you walk right in front of guards undetected.
Q: How do I unlock all outfits?
Outfits are usually tied to achievements or collectibles. There is no simple console command for this. Use the Trainer’s “Unlock All Items” feature or “Max Skill Points” to master the game faster.
Conclusion: Cheat Smarter
While classic console commands are nostalgic, they are often risky and clunky in modern Unreal Engine 5 games like Styx: Blades of Greed. XMODhub offers a safer, visual, and achievement-friendly way to customize your stealth experience.
