"Was this done legitimately or through use of cheats ?"
No cheats, no mods.
The stats of the character (Wretch) are not at 10 because i have the Great Rune of Godrick and Talismans equiped.
As of Update 1.12.2 the game have a bug that may show "Inappropriate Activity Detected". Wile we are waiting for a patch, here are their instructions to fix that if it happen ;
"The character have a health debuff, HP down icon on status top left and i cant figure out why even after unequipping everthing."
I have the "Baldachin's Blessing" (Max HP is reduced by 5% when in inventory) in the inventory. Use it if you want to get rid of the health debuff. The "Radiant Baldachin's Blessing" does not give you the health debuff when in the inventory, only the other one.
"When I load this save, i'm unable to attack with keyboard neither mouse. Changed keybinds and still does nothing at all."
The save point of the DLC save is at the Cocoon of the Empyrean in Mohgwyn Palace. With the DLC, once Mohg have been defeated it is now a "safe zone" like the Round Table Hold. You can see with the circle on the side of your screen, this is why you can not use your weapons.
"Do you plan to do the same with the DLC content ?"
If / when i do it, yes i will share the save with the DLC completed in the same way. Don't expect anything anytime soon tho.
For those of you not wanting to go through the trouble of save import again or loose the progress they made on previous versions, here is a list of missing things that have been collected in new "update" of the save, so you can go and get them yourself ;

I would reccomend using bleed damage to get him quick, or you can also go around and kill the smaller dragons instead.
I do not know what make a save safe or unsafe for online.
I have not used mods or cheat, and the only "alteration" (if you can even call it that) that i have done with the game was making backup of the save before big bosses, so i could "reload" if i messed up badly, to avoid loosing the milions of runes i was hoarding.
If you are reffering to "greatlesmond1991" 's messages ;
Out of the thousands who downloaded the save, he is the only one who reported such issue, and i think it may be because he is using a mod (Seamless co-op) and have accidently overwritten the Seamless co-op save instead of the normal one. Maybe, since he said ; " I also messed up the last step of your instructions "
figured it out for anybody wondering after replacing with the new save file just change the .sl2 to .co2 just be wary about changing it back as once it has data and saves from seamless switching it back to .sl2 you can possibly get a ban warning. So just back it up beforehand
DISCLAIMER: I Don't know if this method can give you a ban or not, it's the first time i'm messing with save files on Elden Ring. Edit: i've found out that you can use the import option so here's how i did it. Tools>character manager>Source file is this save>Destionation file is your currenty save> Pick the character from the source and then select a Dummy character for your destionation>Copy>LOGIN and now you'll have this save file with all your other original saves and with saved appearances.
Heyoo! First off thanks a lot for this save, i cant imagine how difficult was to made this possible so, thanks a lot <3
But i do have a question, its possible to ''fuse'' my original save with this one? Cuz i want to have this character a long with a few ive already have, also i have a lot of appearance saved for my characters since im always changing them a lot. Thanks again for the save and hope you're having a great time during the DLC <3
Your saved appearances will persist. I went as far as to delete all my saves before I used ER Save Copier, and when I loaded this new save file it still gave me all my saved appearance choices.
Merging the saved game in with your other current saves I'm not sure about... Hopefully someone else chimes in.
Tip: Use the save with "Map for Goblins" recent update and you can see everything that still has to be picked up, pick it up then just restart the game normally and you can play online normally, no ban, tested by me, using infinite health while was picking up the items
I rather avoid doing that with my save, i am not familiar enough to be sure i'll do it properly.
If you or anyone else does and have a "list" of the items that are missing or a screenshot of the map with it, please do share and i'll get them. Make sure that you know what you are doing and don't get yourself accidently ban with that. This is the reason i'm not doing it myself, i rather not loose that save.
well after like 15 failed tries I just deleted it and redownloaded it and that fixed it, but after importing it in the editor and loading the file after having it do the steam id replacement it still just showed the character i made to have a save and trying to fix that made it too were i had to re install the game because it count detect any save files...
Weird, tho i think a complete re-install of the game may have been a bit overkill if only the save file was changed. Must have been a little mistake made somewhere in the provess. Or maybe something to do with Win 11 ? (Doubt it.)
Is it working now ? If it does after you have done something specific please do tell for other people who may get the same issue as you.
Edit ; Someone else had the same issue, using winrar insted of 7zip to extract fixed the problem for him.
Okay, life got in way for a bit but I finally got it, interestingly after fresh game install went back to redownload character save on nexus, clicked on link under wrong video ended up on git hub so tried that one and it worked first time, then did smart thing and looked at reviews for one on nexus, turns out not everyone happy with it, so yeah guess that's the problem for all the save corruption.
Hello there, I am using the non-dlc save file and tend to buy the dlc later, wonder if I can play the dlc with the non-dlc save file or do I have to use the dlc-save from the beginning. Thank you
Yes you can, the non-DLC version was just before the DLC update, if you get the DLC it will simply update your save file you started with it to become a DLC file.
It is a glitch that can happen with the game. Some people said to have fixed it by restarting the game a few time. You could try to check inside the storing chest too maybe ?
Hi, the no dlc file is a save i made before updating the game for the DLC so you should not have those items in it.
If you mean all the items of the base game, i had kept a backup of the pre-updated version to fetch the missing items on both save, so the non DLC file have them too.
That is because the ending choice have not been made ; go to the "Fractured Makika" Site of Grace on the golden tree and pick an ending to make New Game+ available.
Hi, i just transfered the save to my game.) but now the game starts in offline mode every time and i have to press login in the main menu, is this normal? Its a minor inconvenience but just feels kinda sus. Thank you :)
Didn't see any specific comment on one of the missing items. The Greyoll's roar incantation is missing. Greyoll is alive ofc and it's not hard to grab but figured I'd mention.
Thank you for reporting that missing one the game is no longer installed right now, so i can't update the save. But i'll post a memo so people can go get it if they want it.
All i can think of is to re-try with thoroughly following the convertion instructions, maybe a little mistake was made somewhere ? Hope that is the issue, 'cause if not i do not know what else to do to fix that.
Please if you do, let us know how you fixed the issue, for others that may have the same.

Take the time and try to do a quick google search before asking question about things not related to the save itself.
Awnsers to questions you may have regarding the save files ;
You are going to need the "Elden Ring Save Manager" https://www.nexusmods.com/eldenring/mods/214
First make a backup of the save, just in case you somehow do something wrong, you never know, always make a backup.
If it can help, i uploaded a preview image with visual instructions.
- Go to C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\EldenRing\
and then copy the name of the folder where your save is. (A bunch of numbers, it is your ID)
Wile you are here, don't forget to move away you'r original ER0000.sl2 & ER0000.sl2.bak so you have a backup.
- Open the Save File Manager.
- In the top left go to Edit then Change Default SteamID.
- Paste your ID (the name of the folder where your save is).
- In the top left go to File then Import Save File and select the save file. (the ER0000.sl2)
- Enter a random name. (It's not important)
- Click on done and patch with new steam ID.
- Go to the folder of your save file, where the manager is, then go to data\save-files\"the random name you used".
- Place the save file in C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\EldenRing\"folder with Your ID where your save are".
That's it. 👍

"The option for new game+ does not show up.. can this be used for NG+ ?"
Yes, the ending base game choice have not been made.
Go to the "Fractured Marika" site of grace (on the golden tree) and pick an ending, then the New Game + is available.

"The character have a health debuff, HP down icon on status top left and i cant figure out why even after unequipping everthing."

You can do that at the Round Table Hold with the mirror in Fia's room, the one behind the blacksmith.

"Greyoll's Roar Incantation" - You can easily get it from the dragon just east of the Fort Faroth Site of Grace, east of Caelid.
I looked at a few forums and always find conflicting information about imported save files being bannable in online play
I do not know what make a save safe or unsafe for online.
I have not used mods or cheat, and the only "alteration" (if you can even call it that) that i have done with the game was making backup of the save before big bosses, so i could "reload" if i messed up badly, to avoid loosing the milions of runes i was hoarding.
I'll test it and let you know
Thanks again
Have fun.

Maybe, since he said ; " I also messed up the last step of your instructions "
I did a quick research and it seem that it is a "normal" bug with the current version of the game and not an issue with the save ;
You can go and get more infos & options about potential fixes for it with a quick google search, Hopefully a patch is made soon.
I do not know how Seamless Co-op mod manage imported saves. Maybe it's creator would know how that work, if it is possible.
Edit: i've found out that you can use the import option so here's how i did it.

Only thing i can think of would be to extract the archive with the save directly into your save folder maybe ? Hope that will work.
Don't forget to backup what is already there before.
Must have been a little mistake made somewhere in the provess. Or maybe something to do with Win 11 ? (Doubt it.)

After a quick google search, it seem to be one of the possible issues that can happen with the PC version of the game.
