Selfless Giver trophy (Vanilla)

1. Search for the AppData\Roaming\DarkSoulsII folder in your computer. (press win+r, introduce %appdata% in the searchbox, hit enter, click on the DarkSoulsII folder)

2. Enter the folder with the large alphanumeric name, and locate the DARKSII0000.sl2 file. That is your savefile, so make sure to make a backup and store it somewhere safe in your computer.

3. Launch Dark Souls 2. Start a new game, and when you spawn in Things Betwixt quit to the main menu (do not close the game).

4. Alt+Tab out of the game and replace your savefile (DARKSII0000.sl2) with the one in the .zip file. Make sure that the game is still running in the background and that your old savefile is backed up.

5. Now, go back into the game, and click on "Continue".

6. Try loading the newly created character. This should fail, and bring you back to the "Continue" menu. However now, you should see your old saves.

7. Try loading one of your old saves. This will fail. Now go back one screen to the main menu, and click on "New Game".

8. Once again, quit the game once you spawn in Things Betwixt, go back to the main menu and now you should be able to load your downloaded save.
