Mastering Slay the Spire 2 can be brutal. Whether you are stuck on a difficult Act 3 Boss or simply want to experiment with the game’s mechanics in Custom/Sandbox mode, using Slay the Spire 2 console commands is a popular way to bypass the grind.
However, accessing the developer debug menu isn’t always straightforward. 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.

Editor’s Note: Can You Cheat in Slay the Spire 2?
While you can try modifying config files or using community mod APIs (like BaseMod) to unlock it, this often causes game instability when cards interact dynamically. At XMODhub, we recommend using an external memory trainer to inject cheats safely.”
How to Enable the Console in Slay the Spire 2
To access the debug menu, try these standard methods (Note: a third-party mod API is usually required for these to function):
- Method A (Default):
Press the Tilde key (~), F1, or Enter during gameplay. - Method B (Launch Options):
Right-click Slay the Spire 2 in Steam > Properties.
In Launch Options, type:-consoleor-debug. - Method C (Config File):
Check the game folder forpreferencesorinfo.displayconfigand bind the console key manually.
(If none of these work, the console is hard-locked. Skip to the XMODhub Solution below.)
Essential Console Commands List
If you manage to open the command line using a mod injector, here are the most useful cheats based on standard Godot modding syntax.

Slay the Spire 2 Item IDs List
Target Keyword: Slay the Spire 2 Item ID List
To use the give [ID] or relic add [ID] command via mods, you need the specific internal codes. These change frequently with updates:
Relic_Burning_Blood(e.g., Ironclad Starter Relic)Relic_Neows_Lament(e.g., Boss Snipe Relic)Potion_Fairy_Potion(e.g., Revive Item)
Weapons/Tools (Cards):
Card_Strike_RedCard_Demon_Form
(Tired of guessing IDs? The XMODhub Trainer has a built-in item spawner menu, so you don’t need to memorize codes.)
The Problem: Why Console Commands Disable Achievements
Using the developer console comes with a cost:
- Achievement Lock: Typing cheats usually flags your save file, permanently disabling Steam/Xbox Achievements and Ascension unlocks.
- Save Corruption: Spawning quest items or endgame relics before you should have them can break game scripts.
- Inconvenience: You have to re-type codes every time you load the game.
The Better Alternative: XMODhub Trainer
Stop memorizing codes. XMODhub acts as a visual overlay that bypasses the need for the developer console entirely.
