I really want to make a game based on collecting keys, trophies, etc; I can't seem to figure out how datastores work, I've tried finding better aid via Youtube, but none of the videos expanded on how to save boolean values, I have an intermediate understanding of scripting, and I need a bit of help.

How do I make a datastore for boolean values?

✓ Accepted answer
To save a boolean value to a datastore (x) you would,
local Data = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("x")
local Bool = true -- (or false)
local WhatPlayer = some player object
Data:SetAsync("user_"..WhatPlayer.UserId, Bool) -- data key, what to save to data key
-- to retrieve this data:
Data:GetAsync("user_"..WhatPlayer.UserId) -- returns saved data, in this case - true.

This is purely to help you understand how it works - it would not be smart to set up a DataStore in this manner.
I understand now! Thank you so much!!!
Awesome! I'd appreciate it a lot if you would mark the answer as a solution since it has solved your issue. If you have any further questions about DataStores, don't hesitate to post them.
It wouldn't be recommended to use SetAsync for updating the value. You should be using UpdateAsync
