The Binding Of Isaac Repentance 100 Save File Download Extra Quality

If you load the game and see an empty save file, don't panic.

Issue A: The save file is for an older DLC (Antibirth vs. Repentance).

Issue B: Permissions error.

Issue C: The "Corrupted Save" message.

Before we dive into the how, we must discuss safety. The Isaac community is wonderful, but file-hosting sites are riddled with fake download buttons. If you load the game and see an empty save file, don't panic

The Golden Rule: Never download an .exe file. A true Isaac save file is either:

If the file you downloaded ends in .exe, .zip (containing an exe), or .scr, delete it immediately and run an antivirus. Issue B: Permissions error

For Extra Quality, seek out repositories like GitHub or trusted community forums (e.g., r/thebindingofisaac, Speedrun.com resources). Avoid "clickbait" YouTube links that ask you to survey.

A quick search for Isaac save files yields hundreds of results. Most are garbage. They are often buggy, missing key unlocks, or corrupted. When we talk about "Extra Quality" for a Repentance save file, we mean a save that ticks these three boxes: Issue C: The "Corrupted Save" message

  • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/ or ~/Library/Application Support/Binding of Isaac Repentance (varies).
  • Linux: ~/.local/share/ or Steam’s Proton prefix.
  • Copy the entire save folder to a safe location (external drive or separate folder).
  • Optionally compress the backup (ZIP) and label with date.

    • | Question | Answer | |----------|--------| | Will using a 100 % save affect my normal runs? | No. The unlocks are stored globally, so any new run will have access to the same items/characters. Your actual score or “best run” stats remain unchanged. | | Can I revert to my original progress? | Absolutely—just replace the modified profile1.dat with the backup you made in Step 1. | | Do mods still work with a community save? | Most mods are independent of the save file, but some that alter the item pool (e.g., “More Items” mods) may need a fresh run to register correctly. | | Is it possible to get a “100 %” save without downloading? | Yes—by playing the game yourself. The official “Completion” challenges in the game guide you toward each unlock. It’s slower, but you’ll earn all achievements legitimately. | | Will the save work on consoles (Switch, PS5, Xbox)? | Console versions store saves differently and generally do not allow manual file swapping. The only legal way on consoles is to unlock everything in‑game. |
