How do I use the Cheat Commander?

The Cheat Commander takes the form of a well-dressed elf who will help you cheat when spoken to.

In the ship to Fort Joy at the beginning of the game, he stands in the lower decks immediately after walking out from the starting room. Once arriving at Fort Joy, he stands next to the very first waypoint you discover on the shore. After you get the Lady Vengeance, he stays onboard for the rest of the game, near the waypoint entry location of each act. When you make it to Arx, if you don’t have access to the Lady Vengeance anymore, he stands near the waypoint in the pilgrim camp outside of the city. Otherwise, he will remain of the Lady Vengeance inside the halls.

Can I summon the Cheat Commander anywhere?

With the new addition of the Cheat Book, which is granted when starting a new game or loading an existing game with the mod enabled, you can use the book to summon a Cheat Commander anywhere you’d like!

Activating in an Existing Save Game?

While there should be no issues using this mod with a pre-existing save, the very first load screen when activating a mod in an existing save game can take a bit longer than usual, depending on your hardware and how far into the game you are in your save.

This is something that happens with all story mods, as the game has to reload a lot of information to merge the mod into your savegame. If you get through this long first load time, and then save the game, future loads go back to normal, so don’t worry about it happening every time!

Help! I can’t find the Cheat Commander!

First of all, make sure you’re looking in the right place! Each location is described in the above section “How do I use the Cheat Commander”. If you still cannot find the NPC, it’s possible your save game has lost him! This is a problem affecting a couple of users that I have so far been unable to figure out why he no longer wants to appear.

However! With the new addition of the Cheat Book, you should be able to summon the Cheat Commander, even if he has decided to stop showing up at his normal spawn locations!

Thank you!

I hope you enjoy the mod, thanks for checking it out! Over time I plan to do further updates to give even more options!
