Players might get a little confused about how to save progress in the God of War Ragnarok Valhalla DLC. Unlike the base game, which is an action-adventure RPG, Valhalla is a roguelite, meaning manual saves and autosaves work differently than when you were roaming the Norse Realms with Atreus. It’s easier to lose progress in the DLC, which makes sense, given the gameplay.
We’ll look at how saving works in God of War Valhalla below and cover whether there are manual save slots or if autosave is all that’s available.
Can you do a manual save in God of War Ragnarok Valhalla?
Unlike the base game, you can’t manually save the game in the God of War Ragnarok Valhalla DLC. However, there is an option to suspend the game if you reach a Tablet of Endevor. You just need to access the tablet and hold the square button to do so. The game will then save your progress and return to the title screen. Now, when you start Valhalla the next time, you’ll pick up where you left off.
However, suspending the game doesn’t act as a manual save slot. Once you’ve loaded the save, it’s gone, and your only options are to suspend the game again or push forward.
How do autosaves work in God of War Valhalla?
Each time you complete a loop or die, your progress is autosaved in God of War Ragnarok Valhalla. It’s relatively generous as far as roguelites go, and you’ll rarely find that your effort has been wasted.
Autosaves don’t save your progress during runs, though. So, if you quit without suspending your game, you’ll find yourself back at the hub area. So, there’s a delicate balance between manually suspending and logging off the game and allowing autosave to preserve your overall progress.
