All game progress, including inventory and skills, is tied to your character. This allows you to transfer your character between different worlds, making it a crucial part of the game that you’ll want to safeguard.
To back up your character data, navigate to the following folder on your PC:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\LocalLow\IronGate\Valheim\characters
Inside the folder, you’ll find your character files. Copy these files to a secure backup location.
Make it a habit to back up regularly to ensure you never lose your Valheim progress in case something happens to your game.
