Resurrecting a Dead Hardcore Character

Died while playing on hardcore mode and can't be arsed playing the whole thing again? Here's how to "resurrect" your dead character. Note that he will be resurrected with only 200HP at the exact point of death, so be prepared to go full assault if there were a lot of mobs around when you died.

NOTE: It's always a good idea to make backups of files you change before making any changes!

Step 1:
Download Hex Workshop from http://www.hexworkshop.com/.

Step 2:
Open your saved game file (in Hex Workshop) located in C:\Users\YOUR_WINDOWS_USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\runic games\torchlight\save.
It will be called either 0.SVT, 1.SVT or 2.SVT depending on which character slot it's stored in.

Step 3:
In Hex Workshop, notice the bottom right window called bookmarks. Right-click in this window and select "Add Bookmark...". Give it any description you like and set the address to "000000D9" and the length to "2".

Step4:
Now click the added bookmark. The location of the flag should now be highlighted. If you still can't find it, right-click the bookmark and select "Goto Selected Bookmark".

Step 5:
At the location of the flag (currently "00 00") enter "4843" then save the file.


Your character should now be alive again. Have fun!
