🩸 [Quick Answer]

How do you cheat in Black Souls?

To cheat in Black Souls, you can manually attach Cheat Engine to the game’s executable (Game.exe) and scan for changing numeric values (like your current Souls or SEN). However, because the game is built on the RPG Maker VX Ace engine, dynamic memory allocation causes your memory addresses to break every time you change maps or enter combat. The safest and easiest alternative is using an auto-updating mod manager like XMODhub, which provides 1-click cheats without requiring any tedious memory scanning or pointer scripting.

📖 [Editor’s Note]

Look, I get it. We all start Black Souls thinking we are going to play it completely legit and embrace the dark, punishing RPG mechanics. But after losing all your Souls to the Jabberwock for the 15th time, or watching your SEN (Sanity) drop to dangerous levels forcing a bad ending, the fun stops. I have been messing with Cheat Engine for years, and trying to isolate the exact memory values for this game’s RGSS3 engine almost drove me insane. The pointers keep shifting every time you walk through a door! Today, I am going to show you how to manually hack the values if you want the technical challenge—but I will also share the 1-click shortcut I actually use to save my sanity.

💻 1. How to Use Cheat Engine for Black Souls (The Manual Way)

If you want to go the old-school route and find the memory addresses yourself, here is the basic “First Scan/Next Scan” method. Let’s use it to get infinite Souls so you can level up Alice and your stats instantly:

1.Launch Both Programs: Open Black Souls and load your save file. Then, run Cheat Engine as an Administrator.
2.Attach to Process: Click the glowing PC icon in the top-left of CE, find Game.exe (the standard executable name for RPG Maker games) in the process list, and click Open.
3.First Scan: Note your exact amount of Souls (let’s say it is 500). Type 500 into the CE ‘Value’ box (keep the Value Type as 4 Bytes) and hit First Scan. You will see thousands of results.
4.Change the Value: Go back into the game. Defeat a minor enemy or buy a consumable item from a merchant so that your Souls number changes (e.g., drops to 450).
5.Next Scan: Pause the game, type 450 into CE, and hit Next Scan. The results should narrow down to 1 or 2 addresses.
6.Edit the Memory: Double-click the address to bring it to the bottom window. Change the value to 9999999, check the “Active” box to freeze it, and return to your game! Enjoy being rich.

The Catch: This works for simple numbers while you are standing in one room. But trying to find dynamic combat variables like “Infinite HP” or locking your “SEN” requires complex pointer scanning, which can take hours of trial and error because of the engine’s limitations.

⚠️ 2. Common CE Errors: Pointers Breaking & Not Attaching

If you are pulling your hair out because CE isn’t working for Black Souls, you aren’t alone. Here is what is probably happening on the backend:

Error: Cannot attach to process / Game Crashes: While Black Souls doesn’t use heavy anti-cheat, certain PC environments block memory injection into 32-bit processes. You often have to go into CE Settings -> Debugger Options -> and switch to “Use VEH Debugger” to prevent the game from detecting the hook and crashing.
The Pointer Problem (Values reset after restarting or changing maps): You finally found your HP or SEN address, but when you transition to a new area or initiate a random encounter, the cheat breaks. Black Souls uses the RPG Maker VX Ace engine, which heavily relies on dynamic memory allocation via Ruby scripts. The memory address shifts every single time a map loads. To fix this, you have to find the base pointer—which requires writing custom assembly scripts. Or… you can just skip to the next section.

🚀 3. The Better Alternative: 1-Click Cheats with XMODhub

Here is the dirty little secret of the indie modding community: Nobody actually wants to spend two hours updating Cheat Engine tables every time they start a new gaming session. The moment you transition to a new map in Black Souls, your hard-earned memory addresses shift.

How to Use XMODhub for Black Souls?

1. Download and Launch the free XMODhub desktop app.XMOD APP
2. Search for Black Souls.
3. Click “Play”.
4. Toggle your desired cheats (God Mode, Infinite Souls, Lock SEN) directly from the clean UI or via hotkeys.

🛡️ 4. Where to Find Safe Black Souls Cheat Tables (.CT)?

If you absolutely insist on doing the memory mapping yourself and want to use CE, you will want a pre-made Cheat Table (.CT file) from community sites like Fearless Revolution.

A massive warning, though: Downloading .CT files from unverified Reddit threads or random DLsite forums is incredibly dangerous. Malicious actors frequently hide trojans and crypto-miners inside fake cheat tables targeted at niche indie games. Furthermore, finding a .CT file that perfectly matches your exact game version and translation patch is a nightmare. This is exactly why a sandboxed, verified app like XMODhub is much safer for your PC’s health.

💬 5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use the developer console instead of Cheat Engine?

A: Native RPG Maker games like Black Souls do not have an active developer console enabled for players. Unless you unpack the game files and inject a custom Ruby debugging script, there is no console to type commands into. A memory trainer is required.

Q: Is it illegal to use Cheat Engine?

A: Modifying data on your own PC for a strictly single-player, offline RPG experience like Black Souls is completely legal. You are just altering local RAM values on your own hardware.

Q: Why do the values I changed in Cheat Engine revert back to normal during boss fights?

A: This is a common issue with RPG Maker battle systems. Black Souls constantly refreshes its combat data from hidden base addresses during turn-based combat. Unless you find the static pointer or “freeze” both the display and structural battle addresses, the game will overwrite your changes when an enemy attacks. Using a dedicated trainer bypasses this dynamic allocation issue entirely.

Q: Will using Cheat Engine drop my FPS or slow down my PC?

A: Running Cheat Engine in the background won’t heavily impact your FPS, but performing a “First Scan” can temporarily max out your CPU. Once the scan is done, performance should return to normal.

🌟 Conclusion: Work Smarter, Not Harder

Learning how memory manipulation works in Cheat Engine is a cool flex. But let’s be real—when you come home from a long day at work, you just want to experience the dark fantasy story, defeat the Red Hood, and uncover the lore without taking a computer science class in Ruby scripting.xmod games
