    These checkpoints look like feathers of light hovering over a bonfire and are scattered around the map. Approach one and select the appropriate button to "Rest at site of grace."
    • Note that while the game saves automatically every few seconds, it may not always save as you progress or loot something valuable. These minor saves ensure that you have some of your progress if the game crashes or if you lose power, but don't guarantee 100% saved gameplay.
    • If you just want to save, you can stop here and not quit the game. Interacting with the site will force the game to save.
