Quick Links
When it comes to new games in any series, especially games that fall under the RPG genre, the first thing many players want to know is how to save the game. While it is much better than it was in earlier games decades ago, how game progress is saved varies greatly from title to title. So now thatValkyrie Elysium, the latestentry of theValkyrie Profileseries, has been released, players will likely be wondering how they can save and not lose any progress.
Nothing is worse than beating a difficult boss only to discover that progress wasn’t saved and players have to do it all over again, so here is how to save inValkyrie Elysium.

Is There An Auto-Save?
Auto-Save has become far more commonthese days in JRPG games.Valkyrie Elysiumcontinues this trend and does have an Auto-Save that periodically kicks in. While some games rely on a tiny little symbol in one of the corners of the screen,Valkyrie Elysiumdisplays a message in the upper right-hand corner that says “Auto-Saving” with a little quill next to it.
Once that disappears, the game has successfully saved any progress that has been made so far. This feature is somewhat unreliable as it isn’t clear what triggers it. SoValkyrie Elysiumplayers should be careful with how much they rely on it.
Is There a Way to Save Manually?
As isvery traditional in JRPGs,Valkyrie Elysiumdoes have manual save points. Like in many RPGs that have manual save points, these devices that can be used to save progress are not subtle, nor are they easy to miss.
ForValkyrie Elysium,players should look for large floating crystals as they progress through Main Missions. These can be used to manually save progress, so players should rely more on these and less on Auto-Save. Not only that, but thesesave points can also be used to upgrade weaponsthatValkyrie Elysiumplayers have unlocked up to that point.
Are Save Points Only In Missions?
While several save points will show up throughout each mission, they are not the only ones that can be found inValkyrie Elysium. Between missions,Valkyrie Elysiumplayerswill return to Valhalla to advance the storyand get ready for whatever comes next in the next Mission or Side Quest they decide to engage in.
Like the save points in missions, the save point in Valhalla can also be used to upgrade weapons, provided that players have all the necessary resources. As far as games with manual save points go,Valkyrie Elysiumis very generous with its placement of manual save points, so players will never have to go too long without one.
Valkyrie Elysiumis available now on PS4 and PS5. It will be available for PC on November 11th.
