Usage:

1. Save to your PC,
2. Move folder “saga3e” along the way: C:\UsersAdminAppDataRoamingTheBannerSaga3Local Storesavesaga3e with replacement,
3. Login to the game “Eternal Arena”.
4. All possible achievements will start to drop out.

Note:

Will fall out, only those achievements, who have any count of something (killed enemies, damage caused, victories, defeats, etc.). because. only this data is stored in the file.
This is why you won't be able to get the achievement. “Champion of the Eternal Arena”, the data responsible for it is stored on the server, not locally.

To get all the achievements and quickly complete the survival mode on any difficulty, you will need to edit the save, adding the necessary information.
for example, You can complete survival mode on easy difficulty up to 30 stage, then edit the save and go through 30 stage on high difficulty to get achievements.
Further in the text everything will be described in detail..

Path to the save folder for the mode “Survival”:
C:\UsersAdminAppDataRoamingTheBannerSaga3Local Storesavesaga3s

In the above path you will find several folders – these are profiles. And they start with 0, while in the game with 1.

If you don't know some subtleties, then the edited save will never work for you, it won't be in the profile window.

For, so as not to edit the save file every time, when losing a game, highly recommend, after starting survival mode and selecting a profile, a new file will appear in the save folder, this file should be opened in a text editor, for example Notepad ++. You can switch between the game and the editor by pressing Alt+Tab.
Example:
1. Upon successful completion of a certain stage, you should use the above key combination to go to the editor, it will immediately prompt you to save changes – should agree.
2. If you lose or someone dies in the game- then, you should immediately exit to the start screen, then use the keyboard shortcut to open the editor and cancel the changes (press no), then save the file in its original form. This will allow you to progress faster on higher difficulty levels., no companion deaths or reboots.

The most important information without which modified saves will not work:

Below is part of the code from the save file, with comments:

{ – required character at the beginning of the save file line.
“_”: “18b0dc0511ebd63dba602efbc01e8e9c”, – MD5 hash string, used to control changes (not used in calculations).
“achievements”: [], – Achievements will be listed.
“acv_3s_51_the_skirmisher”,
“acv_3s_52_the_professional”,
“acv_3s_53_the_berserk”,
“acv_3s_54_the_wave_breaker”,
“acv_3s_55_empty_satchel”,
“acv_3s_56_just_some_fantasy”,
“acv_3s_57_krumrs_mentor”,
“acv_3s_58_a_fallen_few”,
“acv_3s_59_together_or_not_at_all”,
“acv_3s_60_zefrs_wind”,
“acv_3s_61_make_it_count”,
“acv_3s_62_lovers_in_a_dangerous_warped_time”

An example of calculating a hash amount:

Next, I will describe and show part of the text from the save file, I will also sign, what lines are responsible for what?, so you can edit them as you wish.

Below are the lines from this file and what they are responsible for.
