Darkest Dungeon II Save File Location (Windows & macOS)

Darkest Dungeon II stores its save files at %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\RedHook\Darkest Dungeon II\SaveFiles on Windows. Checkpoint64 already knows this folder — it backs it up automatically and keeps earlier versions, so a corrupted or overwritten save is one click from restored.

Where Darkest Dungeon II saves are stored

  • Windows — %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\RedHook\Darkest Dungeon II\SaveFiles
  • macOS — ~/Library/Application Support/RedHook/Darkest Dungeon II/SaveFiles

How to open the save folder

  • Windows — press Win+R, paste %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\RedHook\Darkest Dungeon II\SaveFiles, and press Enter (the AppData folder is hidden in Explorer, which is why this path is so easy to miss — pasting it skips the hunt).
  • macOS — in Finder press Cmd+Shift+G (Go to Folder) and paste ~/Library/Application Support/RedHook/Darkest Dungeon II/SaveFiles.

Backing up Darkest Dungeon II saves automatically

  1. Install Checkpoint64 (free) and pick Darkest Dungeon II — the save path above is already preset.
  2. Auto-backup watches the folder and uploads a new version whenever it changes, keeping full history.
  3. Restore any version in one click if a save corrupts, gets overwritten, or a mod breaks it.
