I specifically wrote this guide because Unreal Engine 5 games can be tricky with their Local vs Roaming folders. Even if you don’t plan on cheating, please backup your SaveGames folder manually right now. Don’t learn this lesson the hard way like I did.”

Whether you want to manually backup your progress before the “Frost Giant” boss fight, transfer your save to a new rig, or modify the config file for better FPS, you first need to find where the data is hidden on your drive.

FAQ
Q: Can I transfer my NORSE: Oath of Blood save to another PC?
A: Yes. Simply copy the entire contents of the SaveGames folder mentioned above to the exact same location on the new computer. Note that you must be logged into the same Steam/Epic account if the saves are account-locked.
Q: What happens if I delete the config file?
A: Usually, NORSE: Oath of Blood will regenerate a default config file upon the next launch, resetting your graphics settings to default. However, we strictly recommend renaming the file to .bak instead of deleting it.
Q: Does modifying save files ban me?
A: In single-player mode, modifying your save file (e.g., giving yourself max Blood Points) will not get you banned. However, ensure you are offline if the game uses Easy Anti-Cheat (EAC) for any invasion or leaderboard modes.
Conclusion
Locating your NORSE: Oath of Blood save file is a crucial skill, whether you are recovering from a glitch, migrating your progress to a Steam Deck, or manually tweaking config files for better FPS.
However, digging through hidden system folders always carries a risk. One wrong deletion or a typo in a JSON file can wipe out hours of progress instantly. If you prefer a safer, “set it and forget it” solution, we highly recommend the XMODhub Save Manager. It automates your backups, keeping your hard-earned progress secure so you can focus on the battle, not the file directory.
