Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined: How To Save
Saving in Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined uses a traditional system linked to specific locations and objects rather than a manual save menu. Understanding where and how saving works is important, especially before long dungeons or major boss fights.
This guide explains every way to save your game and where save points are usually placed.
How To Save Your Game
There are 3 ways your progress can be saved in Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined. Two are manual and one is automatic.
Saving At Angel Statues
Angel Statues are the most common manual save method.
Interacting with an Angel Statue allows you to save your current progress. After saving, the statue also restores your party’s HP and MP. Angel Statues additionally provide Divination, which shows how much experience each party member needs to reach their next level.
If your party is defeated after saving at an Angel Statue, you will respawn at that statue instead of losing progress.
Angel Statues are frequently placed before major encounters, making them the safest way to prepare for difficult sections.
Saving At Churches
You can also save by visiting a church and speaking with a priest.
Selecting the Confession option saves your game and locks in your progress. Churches act as safe save points within towns and are often easier to return to than dungeon statues.
In addition to saving, churches can remove poison and cure curses from party members.
Autosave Explained
Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined includes an autosave system.
Autosaves trigger at certain points during gameplay, such as story progression or transitions. Autosave is meant as a backup to prevent major progress loss, but it should not be relied on as your primary save method.
Autosave does not replace manual saves at Angel Statues or churches.
Where Save Points Are Found
Save points follow consistent placement rules throughout the game.
Town Save Locations
Most towns contain a church.
Talking to the priest and choosing Confession allows you to save. Town churches are reliable places to secure progress before moving on to new areas.
Dungeon Save Locations
Angel Statues are commonly placed near dungeon entrances.
This allows you to save before committing to exploration or combat heavy sections. Some longer dungeons may include additional statues deeper inside.
Before Major Boss Fights
Angel Statues are often placed directly before boss encounters.
Seeing an Angel Statue usually signals that a difficult fight is coming up. Saving here prevents losing progress if the battle does not go well.
Final Blurb
Saving in Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined relies on smart positioning rather than constant manual control. Using Angel Statues before bosses and churches while traveling through towns keeps progress secure and reduces frustration during longer story sections. Autosave helps, but manual saves are still essential.
