How to Install

Important: This save replaces your permanent unlock/preferences data, not an in-progress climb — any run currently in progress when you overwrite these files will be lost, so finish or abandon your current climb (or back up the saves folder separately) before installing.

1
Close Slay the Spire completely.
2
In Steam, right-click Slay the Spire → Manage → Browse local files to open the install folder directly (this game does not use the AppData save location).
3
Open the preferences subfolder inside the install directory.
4
Backup your existing STSPlayerPrefs.json and STSUnlockTracker.json files by copying them elsewhere.
5
Download and extract the .zip file, then copy the included .json files into the preferences folder, replacing the old ones.
6
Launch Slay the Spire. All characters, cards, relics, and Ascension levels will show as unlocked from the main menu and Compendium.

Where progress actually lives: Slay the Spire doesn't have a traditional "save file" for completed runs — a climb either ends in victory or death, at which point it's over. What persists between sessions is unlock progress (in the preferences folder, included here) and any single in-progress, unfinished climb (in the separate saves folder, not included, since that's meant to be your own active run).

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this Slay the Spire save/unlock file safe to use?
Yes. Slay the Spire is fully offline and single-player outside of optional Daily Climb leaderboards, which track your account separately server-side. Editing local unlock files doesn't affect your Steam account or any leaderboard standing.
Where is the Slay the Spire save file located on PC?
Unlike most games, Slay the Spire stores its progression inside its own install folder rather than AppData: [Steam Install]\steamapps\common\SlayTheSpire\preferences\, in STSPlayerPrefs.json and STSUnlockTracker.json. Steam App ID 646570.
Does this include all 4 characters?
Yes — Ironclad, Silent, Defect, and Watcher are all unlocked, along with each character's full card pool, starting relic, and Ascension 20 clear.
What is Ascension Level 20?
Ascension is Slay the Spire's difficulty-scaling system, with 20 stacking levels that add tougher enemies, fewer resources, and other handicaps. Ascension 20 is the maximum level and clearing it (including defeating the final boss, the Heart) with a character is widely considered "true" completion for that character.
Will loading this affect my current in-progress run?
This save only replaces unlock/preferences data, not the separate save file for an active climb. However, back up your current run first if you have one in progress — some players report the game clearing an in-progress save when preferences change unexpectedly.
Does this affect Daily Climb or leaderboard results?
No. Daily Climbs are verified and scored server-side by Mega Crit, so local file changes have no effect on leaderboard standings — this save only affects your local unlock/Compendium state.
Is Custom Mode unlocked?
Yes, Custom Mode (which lets you set seeds, ascension level, and dozens of modifiers for a run) is fully unlocked, along with every modifier that's normally earned through play.
Do I need any DLC for this to work?
No. Slay the Spire's base game contains all 4 characters and all content referenced in this save — there is no additional paid DLC required.
About Slay the Spire

Slay the Spire is a roguelike deck-building game developed by the two-person studio Mega Crit (Anthony Giovannetti and Casey Yano), released into early access in November 2017 and reaching full release in January 2019. It's widely credited with popularizing and refining the deck-builder-roguelike hybrid genre, combining Dominion-style card-building mechanics with a climb structure: players fight through three floors of a mysterious tower, building a deck of attack, skill, and power cards while collecting relics that modify the run, aiming to defeat increasingly difficult bosses and ultimately the Corrupt Heart at the top.

Each of the four playable characters — Ironclad (a straightforward strength-and-block warrior), Silent (a poison-and-shiv rogue), Defect (an orb-manipulating construct), and Watcher (a stance-based monk) — has its own entirely separate card pool and relic pool, giving each a distinct playstyle and forcing players to re-learn strategy from scratch. Progression is split between individual runs, which typically last 45-90 minutes and end in victory or permadeath, and permanent unlocks that widen the card and relic pool available in future runs as you win more.

The game's signature difficulty system, Ascension, adds twenty stacking modifiers (tougher elites, less starting gold, fewer max HP, and more) that veteran players climb through to keep testing their mastery long after unlocking everything. Between all four characters' card pools, shared relics, potions, and the Ascension ladder, reaching genuine 100% completion — every card seen, every relic found, Ascension 20 cleared with all four characters — is a mark of serious mastery that most players spend well over 100 hours pursuing.
