Blades of Fire Save File Location
Here's exactly where Blades of Fire keeps your progress on PC, how to open the folder, and how to back it up before a risky forge run.
Save file locations
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\MercurySteam\Blades of Fire\<user-id>
Full path: C:\Users\<YourName>\Documents\MercurySteam\Blades of Fire\<user-id>\ . A mirror copy also lives in %LOCALAPPDATA%\MercurySteam\Blades of Fire\<user-id>\ . The <user-id> is your account folder — back up the whole folder to keep every slot.
My games & apps > <Game> > Manage game > Saved data
Xbox saves sync automatically to the cloud with your Microsoft account; there is no user-accessible save file on disk.
Settings > Saved Data and Game/App Settings > Saved Data
Console saves are sealed and can't be copied as raw files. Back them up to PS Plus cloud or a USB drive from this menu.
Cloud saves
On PC, Blades of Fire's Steam release supports Steam Cloud, so your save folder can sync across machines on the same account. Close the game before restoring a backup so cloud sync doesn't overwrite your restored copy with the older online one on the next launch.
How to open the save folder
- Press Win + R to open the Run box.
- Type %userprofile%\Documents and press Enter.
- Open MercurySteam > Blades of Fire > your <user-id> folder to find your saves.
- Copy the whole save folder somewhere safe before editing, modding, or moving PCs.
Save problems & fixes
Cloud save overwrote my newer local save (or vice-versa)
This happens when Steam Cloud syncs on launch before you restore a backup. Fully quit the game, disable Steam Cloud for it, copy your good save into Documents\MercurySteam\Blades of Fire\<user-id>, launch once offline to confirm it loads, then re-enable cloud so it uploads the correct copy.
Save is missing, won't load, or shows as corrupted
Verify the game files first, then look in Documents\MercurySteam\Blades of Fire\<user-id> for a backup or older copy (many games keep a .bak or a numbered rolling backup next to the live save). Copy that older file over the broken one while the game is closed. Never edit the save with the game running — that is the most common cause of corruption.
