- So, in Elden Ring, is new game plus worth it? I go through the various benefits and help you decide whether to start it or not.
When thinking about Elden Ring is new game plus worth it, it really depends on what you're interested in. You can explore other endings, builds, weapons and upgrade more weapons than you can in the first playthrough. But, difficulty of enemies increases but so does rune count for defeating them.

Accidentally sold the crucible knight shield, and they don’t respawn, On my way to beat the game simply so I can get it again. So yea it’s worth it to me
Yeah so frustrating that. Enjoy ng+!
I did same thing. Sold the chainamail armor and now I want it back.
I gave away my white mask and want it back now but now I can't so I'll get to new game plus to get them back
I plan on playing this game until the end of time.
A nice compliment to the game. Thanks for adding 👍
Are you still playing?
I’m on Journey 4 as of now and I will say my biggest reasoning was that it boosts the damage output for enemies, boosts the amount of runes earned, and overall I just wanted to play through the story again and level up my character even more.
Thanks for sharing 👍
Does it double the runes every Time?
Or just once
@@illufisch it keeps increasing the rune drops up until journey 7, then it stops.
so the same as dark souls then
this is very useful Thanks so much
You're welcome! Thanks for commenting 👍
thanks for the info :)
You're very welcome! Thanks for taking the time to comment!
Thanks for this ✨
You are most welcome. Thanks for the comment 👍
First time I played it took me 200+ hrs …in Ng+ I almost beat the game in 1 day
Yeah much easier second time around. Although there are several endings you can explore and various quest lines. Thanks for commenting 👍
So do the bell bearing carry over for the upgrade materials like smithing stones past 1.08
They carried over since mid 2022 so should be fine in 1.08.
In general do you find ng+ you’re just kind of hitting the high points like bosses rather than meticulously exploring as in a typical first game? I’m on my first game, just beat Morgott, starting to think about if I wanna do ng+ when I beat it or move to another game instead
Elden Ring has several story arcs you can explore. So next time you go through you can have a look at one of these. The ending changes slightly depending on which arc you follow. A lot of players just enjoy the grind mechanic. Another point about NG+ is you can get a second version of whatever weapon you like. This then opens up dual wielding of that weapon. But if none of that interests, have a look at another game. I'm all for that as I think variety is great to have. The Witcher 3 is amazing if you've not played that. Or for another Fromsoft title, take a look at Bloodborne. I played the first bit here: ua-cam.com/video/8nvui5ay1PQ/v-deo.html
New game plus ill just be continuing my current build right? So if i want to start a new build as a sorcer but keep my current samuri build, then i should just make a new game file, not NG+?
Correct. NG+ is for levelling the same character further. That said remember you can use larval tears with Renalla to respec if you want to try different builds out.
I'm currently level 400. I think I will finally start new game plus. By the way you can hit the Bird with Golden Land. I can clear the entire hill and the 4 past the map marker and the Bird 3 full times with 1 fowl foot.
Thanks for the info. Level 400 is a lot! ng+ will be a doddle for you. Enjoy! Thanks for sharing the ideas for rune farming too 👍
I am a beginner and want to know how to use incantations. I heard you need sacred seals. Where is the closest sacred seal from the starting point? I wanna use my flame incantations REALLY bad!
the fact you got to 400 in just base game tells me you either spent too long farming, or cheated. Just why? Even 100%ing the game, I'm level 172 by the end of NG+0.
@@Hirotoro4692
You HAVE to cheat in this game, it's too damn hard if you don't. And even then it's still too hard. I'm level 307with 99 vigor. Plus talismans to increase health further and I get my entire health bar annihilated in 3sec in many places still, as if I was still level 1.
@@mattfayne9691 over leveling and cheesing bosses makes the game worse imo
The walking buildings can copy rememberances in the same playthrough
Good point! Made this a long time back.
Im curious how the expansion will play out amongst new game plus. As with any game im sure they wont require people to have completed the game to play said expansion, but im curious if starting over in new game plus, then deciding to say take a break for several months, expansion comes out, i return, will my new game plus early game be affected by that, vs just staying in initial game and moving into expansion.
No idea how it'll work as I can't see any concrete details on the release yet. Some developers make things that require high level, some not, so it could go either way. I'm also really surprised how long they've taken to make something, given the huge success of the game. Thanks for taking the time to post the thoughts though!
I'm honestly just curious, but if you have an bell bearings on your perosn, do they carry over or do you lose them, so as such you haven't given them to the twin husks?
I'm not sure. Sorry.
I heard in a recent update the bell bearings carry over
Do the ball bearings to 2 finger maiden stay? If so I'd be able to buy smithing stones still.
Yep.
How did you use sword and incantations at same time?
Level up attributes for both areas. Equip seal in one hand and sword in the other and have fun. I love the confessor class for this style of build. A good mix of melee and magic.
Thanks for that. 🍻🍻🍻
You're very welcome! Thanks for taking the time to comment!
I have an overthinking problem. I’m about to start and fresh character or do new game plus to start involving myself in DLC.
What do you recommend? New game plus or fresh character. I know it’s a matter of preference but I’m so conflicted and need a straight answer so I can shut my mind up and just play 😂😂
Hmm. Personally I would go with DLC as it's a totally new place to explore. The DLC needs you to have completed 2 bosses to start (Mohg & Radahn). So it you start NG+, you'll have to wait quite a bit until you can access. I made a vid on the requirements which might help: ua-cam.com/video/T48BxTVM6lA/v-deo.html
I now understand how to play this game: you need to max your lvl to 150 and stay there forever, then in ng+ and all new games summon other players. To be fun you need to summon 2 players in all castles from the beginning and if you run those castles until which area boss is epic
You do need to be a strong level to complete. This all said, it's a brilliant game. I had a lot of fun playing it.
So can you get the same talismans again, like have two of the same talismans?
I don't think so. But you can have two weapons of the same and dual wield.
I’m on last boss but still can’t beat melina should I just lvl up or fight last boss?
Ah you gotta beat her! Try a faith build with the Blasphemous Blade. That also smashes the last boss too. Here you go: ua-cam.com/video/_Yx2rDye1-M/v-deo.html
@@GrubMagnet
Thanks I have not been healing my mimic this helped
@@brianjohnson3534 Glad it helped you out. You can do similar with the final boss. You'll find another vid to help with that on my channel if you need it.
do we keep spirit ashes when going to new game plus ? I'm confused because some says we will and some say we won't. Though since you have mimic in your item slot, I'm guessing they carried over ?
They carry over.
Yes you do, when you pick up duplicates on ng+ they get stored in site of grace. You keep all ashes of war too, duplicates can be kept on you.
Hi! If I did not cash in or turn my boss remembrances to armaments etc. from my 1st playthrough, do I lose them in NG+?
Apparently they carry over from what I read online. But you can't duplicate them until you defeat that boss again.
@@GrubMagnet ok thanks! I have not yet used the remembrances so I wanted to check. 🤣
You're welcome.
I'm about to start my first NG+ , my question is, what is in the chests now? The ones we found spells and ash of war type stuff, is there now runes in the chest or nothing or repeat spells etc. Thanks
Depends on the item. Most of the time nothing and I think the chest will show as open.
I started new game + today only for lord of frenzied flame and cause this game is great
Enjoy the journey again!
I would have started the NG+ but it boosts difficulty every new cycle, so the DLC gets affected. And DLCs in souls games, well, harder than the main story. So I got stuck on 1st journey with 400 lvl character
NG+ only levels up a bit each time. Lvl 400 on 1st play? Wow! You'd smash through NG+
@@GrubMagnet Perhaps I will start it in 1-2 weeks, levelling up is getting extremely slow on 1st play through
Yeah.
@@GrubMagnetI’m going to do new game plus 2 times to get the platinum I need three different endings
The Lord of blood is intense on NG+ and I'm lvl 300😅
He is super tough!
I started NG+ and am about to fight the elden beast. It’s weird because all the sites of grace from my original run just appeared on my map. Idk if this is a glitch
How weird! Maybe!
Yeah, the sites of grace remain on NG+. Have you played it through again? ON NG+ initially I found it way too easy for a while...has it been patched to scale properly now? There was a lot of talk about how it wasn't balanced well on NG+...how did you find it? My character I need to do another run on is 150...
@@charlieburrows7490 I am curious too
I just started NG+ and I didn't have any sites of grace from my previous playthrough
@@charlieburrows7490 I hope this DOES NOT get patched. Are you crazy? After all that shite these dumb arse game designers put people through, the second time around SHOULD finally give players a break! RIDICULOUS to make a game this hard and not even give players a beginners level to play. Where everyone is FORCED to be world class gaming champions. It's like, wow From Software...communist much?
Can you do all the endings in one run? Or at least most of them?
I don’t think so. Actions earlier in the game affect the endings.
@@GrubMagnet I just want to make sure so I can save time after all the dlc comes out
If you get miquellas needle, and you save a backup to a memory stick... you can do it in one playthrough. My first playthrough was completionist... approximately 400 hours over a year and a half. I got platinum by getting the age of stars, then restoring my endgame save, then getting the frenzied flame ending, then overwriting the save, then going to the placidux arena using miquellas needle and getting the age of order ending.
I'm level 121 and wanna start NG+ is that too soon or??
Totally up to you. The game gets a little harder, but the early zones are very easy at level 121. I woud collect things like high level smithing stones before going through again. But you can breeze through NG+ pretty fast as you now know what you're doing.
I feel like I’m to high level. I 100%ed the game the 1st time (saving trick to get all endings) and am like lv240. I’m seeing ppl say you should be like 130-140ish. Is that true or is that ppl pretending they’re better than you because it’s a souls game?
Hmm generally people like NG+ to explore other endings or go level up and try more weapons. There are only 8 somber dragon stones each playthrough so you need to do more NG+ if you want to try other weapons at their max level. Each NG+ makes the foes a little more challenging. Up to you if that is something you want to try.
Yes it’s fun to keep all your stuff and be overpowered but it’s not a challenge so not fun too easy for me I play only with strength and dexterity now so it can be harder not blood lose no affects that make it easy and especially NO FIATH things at all and no use of spirits
so now it’s more of a challenge in a totally new game
The other way I will be cleaning the game in 12 hours max
Good ideas there. I suppose it depends what you want to do in NG+. I was more interested in seeing the different quest lines and seeing how OP I could become.
Very much worth it 👍
Yep :)
@@GrubMagnet ^_^
Ng+1 feels like a victory lap so far
You're often overpowered by end of first playthrough so NG+ isn't much of an additional challenge. Personally I just found it interesting to explore other quest lines you missed out first time around.
You can use the giant turtle remembrances to get additional boss weapons can you not?
Yes. I start the vid taking about that as I have equipped two grafted dragons 🙂
I think you can only get one of their weapons, the turtles let you get their other item too, but not two copies of the same item. I think, at least that’s how it used to be
@@eternalsummer8409 you can get both
I’m level 400 in my first play through and I’m Loki scared
That is some serious levelling in first go through! You'll breeze through NG+ 🙂
bro... i know this was 10 months ago and youre probably over level 700 by now but why the hell were you level 400 in your first playthrough...that literally makes any boss a breeze to defeat. at MAX you should be like level 175 on your first playthrough. you can be whatever level you want on your first playthrough but really anything above 175 just makes you op.
I love there isn't fog of war in NG+
👍
What’s that
Is this in journey 2
The vid? I can't recall. Made this a long time back.
Fast answer: It’s truly worth it.
Thanks for adding. Yes indeed. I think it’s wise to check a few things before starting and complete various things before starting again, hence the video.
I feel like the amount of runes is the only thing NG+ really has.. everything has been so easy for a NG+.. it's not as though I won't go after the elden beast agian, I'm just pretty sure elden ring is the worst NG+ that fromsoft has done.. I feel even dark souls 1 has a better NG+.. you say it's harder but honestly I walked through every boss so far like it got hit by nerfs instead of buffs... runes are better, everything else gets easier honestly. A full on laugh of a NG+... honestly it's so bad I'm thinking of making a lvl1 and use fist weapons or something just to make it worth it in NG+.. because if I don't upgrade anything maybe NG+ will be fun and not just like taking cake from a dead guy... no challenge at all.. hell I tend to jump off the map just to say something killed me(knowing damn well nothing can kill me... witch is dumb) than I just leave the like 30mill runes and jump off another edge to create some sort if challenge for myself witch lasts about 5 seconds than I go on with the easy mode NG+ that I expected to be anything more than it is
It depends what level you completed your first game playthrough on as to how challenging enemies will feel. NG+ can be repeated multiple times and gets a bit harder each time. Elden Ring is damn frustrating not having a level indicator for enemies. Certainly Limgrave is going to be a doddle for your character by end of game because you’re likely 150+ at that point so even if those enemies are 5x more levels, your level is still much higher. Hopefully latter bosses will be a bit harder for you.
Most enemies have only a very small increase, but there are weird exceptions.. For example some land octopuses go up from 2k health to 8k health..
Mostly stronger enemies are almost the same, but as I said there are weird exceptions.. Enemies also have slightly more resistance..
Bosses are almost identical in NG+
Problem in normal game is: There are not enough max upgrade materials.. IMO

@@TheRealJohnHooper Useful stuff there. Thanks for adding! 👍
U sound like nooblets the youtuber
Ha! He's from UK, so similar. He's got a regional accent I can't quite figure out. A touch different to me but yeah I can hear we're similar. Thanks for sharing!
Best for doing missed quests
Yeah, that's why I did it.
New game plus is honestly a joke in this game. I still play it because I love the game but with the right build at 150 you just delete every boss instantly. I started ng+2 tonight before bed and did margit + Godrick no hit in under 5 minutes.
I think the problem is many of us end the first playthrough overpowered. Each new run through only ups the difficulty a little in terms of hit points required. And of course you need far more hit points to defeat the Elden Beast than you do to beat the earlier bosses. The other problem though is the earlier zones don't offer much runes, so you can't even say set the start bosses 30 levels above your NG+ start point as 30 levels at level 150 is a lot of grinding that's not really possible in the earlier zones. Perhaps they should set them at the same level as you complete the game. Thanks for the thoughts!
Still so much prefer and the game and the New game plus on bloodborne or souls games.. elden ring New game plus IS not so top..compared even with sekiro and the others souls!!
Not the first to have said that to me. I can't really comment as I haven't played the other titles. I did try Dark Souls but it seems so clunky compared to Elden Ring. I need to play it more, but have been very busy with FIFA 23 content lately.
@@GrubMagnet ok.. you have to try bloodborne and DS3. They are better than elden ring.really.
No it's not worth it. For those with memory difficulties, you may be able to stomach the entirety of the first playthrough.
NG+ is an interesting one. Lots of people like the repetition system in games because we know what's coming. But in the case of Elden Ring, it is indeed easy to forget the many random locations of things! Thanks for commenting.
