How to Save and Restart in Plague Tale Requiem

Plague Tale Requiem can be unforgiving, with death and mistakes being common. This guide will explain the game’s auto-save system, whether manual saves are possible, and how to restart a sequence after making a mistake.

We’ll cover the game’s auto-save system and how to restart sequences in Plague Tale: Requiem. You’ll learn about the game’s automatic save points and how to restart fights or replay them in a different way.

• Automatic Saves
• Restarting Checkpoints

Automatic Saves

The game will automatically save your progress, and an animation in the lower right corner of the screen will indicate when this happens. The game will save when:

1. You start a new chapter
2. You reach a new location
3. You start a new fight
4. You collect a secret item – these are immediately saved and won’t be lost if you close the chapter.

Unfortunately, you cannot manually save your progress in Plague Tale: Requiem. You can only rely on the game’s automatic save system.

Restarting Checkpoints

You can restart your progress if you fail stealth or want to try a different approach to a fight.

1. Most of the time, the only option in the pause menu is “Restart Section.” This will take you back to the last auto-save point, such as when Amicia approached enemies.
2. At certain locations, you can also select “Restart Checkpoint.” This option is mainly available for larger sequences of avoiding or attacking enemies. It lets you repeat only the last part of the fight without starting from the beginning.

If you miss a collectible, restarting a section may not be enough. You can return to previous chapters and specific sequences using the chapter selection option. We cover this in more detail on our Chapter Selection page.
