Please pinn this. As of Patch 1.05, bell bearings now carry over as well as a couple other things. This means that you don't need to go buy a ton of Smithing Stones, though I would still reccomend stocking up on runes to be able to buy them later.
Ya.. know how mad I was when I finished a game with all of them. To then have the patch the very next day! Had I waited 1 day I'd have them all still. Takes a damn long time grabbing all of them again
One important thing I regret not doing on my first gameplay is, not using markers on the map. I got lost and forgot the whereabouts of many NPCs, I had to search online everytime I wanna complete a quest. Also many important locations where I intend to return to, poof just forgot. Even more, the game's map doubles every other day so yeah good luck remembering. Do yourself a favor and use them, they are there for a reason. Don't be dumb like me.
@@TheSniperBorn maybe he just means if you are progressing the story you are constantly unlocking new massive portions of map to explore and forget about the last locations
Lmao I can't tell you how many times I did this. I explored, found and finished most of the places in the game before finishing the main story but then through watching videos I realized I missed about a dozen places, almost all of whom I had already found but for whatever reason decided to wait and come back later and ended up forgetting about.
First time playing one of the ‘dark souls’ games and honestly it’s a 10/10 for me I love it. I unlocked all the trophies/achievements as I enjoyed this game so much, has to be GOTY.🔥
@@frivolouspanda the open world map is like a battle royale game map. A failed bland battle royale games map. Theres no woods or gorgeous dams or anything authentic. The whole outside gameworld is just ugly fictitious spikes and rockwalls and yellow ethereal trees. Anyone who likes elden rings map is seriously.. wrong. After 200 hrs and looking back.. its so clear to me how soulless and hollow that videogame is. That game is an insult to the souls series
Thankfully I carried me a decent amount of materials but I am still annoyed about this. I wish I would have seen this video before last night at 9:00 p.m. EST LOL
@@silentrpglord8229 omg your not one of those new players that rage and say the game is bad after going straight to Margit in the first 10 minutes of the game. I praise u 🙏 your hard to find😂
Best thing to do is buy 12x smithing stones on each level before starting Ng+. i.e. if you have 9 ancient dragon smithing stones, you’ll need to have 108 smithing stones for each level. Which is a lot of rune farming, and for somber stones a lot easier. You only need 1 stone per level. But its worth it do grind the runes so you can upgrade weapons to max going thru ng+
Yeah I bought 144 of each, and 18 of each somber smithing. Not to mention some glove worts 12 of each level. But I wanted to get to new game+ so bad that I didn't bother finding all the ancient dragon stones.
I haven’t made it to end of game yet started so many different builds both melee and spell casting focused. But I can say I love this game I have been playing only this for the last month. I am not very good I die a lot but in loving this game. It’s hard to stop playing lol.
I've been going around and getting all the ash of war summons and talismans that I'm not locked out of just to prevent myself from ending lol. I'm finally just calling it tonight. It's time to move to ng+.
Don't sweat it took me 3 play threws to beat the game I recommend beating all or most bosses in each area before moving on get your self op to give you every chance 💯 I was level 130 at 60hrs when I finished it following all boss locations guide I recommend this then mimic tear upgrade is op
So glad I watched this video before starting NG+. I just finished my 1st play through and was a melee dual katana build. Have 150hrs in so I definitely did a bunch and got most everything. My 2nd play through I’m going full mage build with high intelligence and planned on doing the respect after I started the next play through but now I know to do it before starting NG+ cause I have to beat Rennala again.
So Many items and bosses and quests I didn't get to experience my first playthrough mostly because my anxiety of being weak kept me from exploring freely. Now that I'm powerful the experience is different. Truly feel like the Elden Lord.
Same feeling for me. I’m almost enjoying NG+ more than my first playthrough coz I’m able to fully explore all these awesome areas without the constant worry of “need to get to the boss need to get to the boss”. I can just enjoy the areas at my own pace
Also go around and kill all the minor erd trees and get all the mixed physics items as well as kill all the night cavalry to get their armor and glace, and lastly give the beast guy all the deathroot to get one more ancient dragon smithing stone.
Something went wrong for me with him. Got to the point where he attacks you and he killed me at the same time as I got him to the point where he stops fighting. When I respawned all he would say is "......." and I couldn't get him to do anything else. So I killed him.
Who else is watching this in 2024 after almost/completing the DLC? I really want some Ancient Dragon Smithing Stones to upgrade the gear I got in the DLC. I hope Rune Arcs come back in the NG+
Here's another tip. Usually when FS releases new DLC it will be accessible about halfway through the game. NG+ or not, so if you do start a new game then try to get 3/4 the way through. OR just start a new playthrough. Just a heads up.
I think DS3 allowed you into the first DLC after killing at least 3 of the bosses minimum, then you could access the second DLC by beating the first DLC and/or getting to the main game final boss.
I restarted the game a day ago and went and beat 4 of the main bosses already as second playthrough is a cakewalk at level 165. Then went to the farming spot and leveled up to 200. lol. Game is SUPER EASY second time through so really starting new game + at anytime if you are leveled well will be really fun.
@@baklava4147 easiest farm spot is Palace Approach Ledge Road by Moghwyn Palace. If you are low level you can shoot bird at a specific spot and it will run to its death, higher level you can kill the albinauric frogs with an aoe attack like the endgame sword you get from final boss remembrance
I finally started NG+1 at level 200. I seem to be way overpowered for everything. Definitely lost the challenge. I just put on crappy armor and weapons until I "discover" them again.
I feel like fromsoft is one of the only companies (if not the only) that recognizes that when someone plays through a game again, they don’t want to completely start over from scratch. I remember I had such a hard time deciding if I wanted to make a new character in an mmo because I didn’t want to start all the way over with nothing. Props to them.
Good Video, i would also recommend 3 things before you go NG+: 1:Get all Limited Items (Ancient Smithing stones for +25/+10) and mby some more Tears since those exist only 8-10 Times 2: Maybe kill most NPC if u done Quests for them, since they could drop a rare/cool Armor set For example: Patches, he will disappear at the end, and if u kill him before that u get his Leather Armor set 3: Make a List what things u want to get in NP+ since some Quests/Invaders will stop if u kill the Main Boss in that Area For example: Volcano Snake Boss, if u kill him before u end the quest line for some NPC there, they will disappear
I f-d basically all the quests so far just by the exploring and going around and killing people. I was so excited the other day because I finally did a quest where someone didn’t die. The fact that you can basically ruin the game for yourself by exploring early…. well, I guess I’ll just be better at the game.
with spirit ashes you said be sure to use the right one or whatever, is it possible to put those unupgraded ashes in the chest by going to a site of grace? that way they shouldn’t show up in your inventory like stored throwables which exceed the max amount you’re able to hold
Is it better to rune farm in NG+ than in the first play through? Trying to determine whether or not I should just max out before going NG+ or if I should just jump to NG+ since it’ll be more runes then
Do you mean max level your character? If you're wanting to max all of your stats you're going to want to head to ng+ and beyond. It would take forever otherwise
Good idea . Hey I’m at the end of the game to the point of choosing an ending .. will I have access to dlc or am I too far into the game lol ? If dlc drops that is ( but at the same time dlc for a game of this scale is a must )
I’ve spent so much time upgrading most of the weapons to 24 and 9. Some are maxed out. Getting ready for the next fight. Finished it in august but nothing else out there that really grabs my attention.
at 5:00 - how did you get up to volcano manor then? I'm confused, I thought the only two ways were through the Ruin Strewn Precipice or the Grand Lift. Is there actually another way?
I couldn't get legendary armament trophy bc warmaster leaves at some point. However I was Soo happy when I got an npc invasion in Farum azula and he dropped the weapon warmaster has. Was very happy from soft through me a bone on that 1.
Don’t you just get the two medallion halves from Fort Faroth and Fort Haight? Then you can activate the Grand Lift of Dectus and go straight up to Altus Plateau and right to Leyndell?
I think a lot of people forgot to pick up this weapon, myself included. You can wrong warp to the capital without having to fight the bosses which I think I'll have to do as I can't find anyone willing to drop the weapon for me.
@@recryption620 That person you killed on Farum Azula IS the War Master. Knight Bernhal himself. He was apparently evil all along. Not clear why he put on the act at first. He’s a member of Volcano manor, and only tries to kill you on Farum Azula if you’ve beaten Rykard and broken up the manor.
You only have to kill two shard bearers to enter lyndell (it just requiring two great runes and having accepted melinas offer) The only one who isn't reachable before the capital are malenia.
I wish I would have stocked up on smithing and ghost gloveworts before ng+. All I want to do really now is PVP and I can't even upgrade weapons and play with builds without playing thru the story & grinding again..
ok so to carry over your runes (you have to beat the grafted in the starting area) out the door across the 2nd bridge then walk to the edge to pick up the butterfly and the ground breaks you die but keep your runes
I see alot of ppl boasting they platinum this game but its by far the easiest souls game to 100%.. DS1&2, bloodborne, and sekiro were much harder to plat and 100%. Although its good to see ppl are enjoying the game.
the one thing I was curious about was do you get to keep boss remembrances because I have milanas and I can't duplicate it in my current play through I really don't want to fight her again😅
@@Noname-xr7tt I think you do. I never cashed in the Elden Beasts remembrance but I kept it into NG+. So I think they are retrained and you can just get another copy of them in the new playthrough.
you keep the rememberances you obtained. It's like the boss souls for dark souls, if you get em again you just have 2 or however many in your inventory
Was I the only one hoping for more Insensitive to NG? In Dark souls there where lots of items you didn’t discover until NG, not to mention the red spirit enemies that are only in NG+. I just completed journey 2 and there is no reason for me to NG other than I want more of the same thing.
probably if you wanna dual wield Blasphemy sword or Morgott's sword, or get the Bull-Goat armour since it's tied to Patches and Volcano manor and it's probable people didn't pay much attention to Patches or outright killed him.
@@MeppiMonster They're referring to npc invaders. In previous souls games ng+ includes more npc invaders or red phantom enemies. Dark Souls 2 had a ton of these
I don't even want to do a new game plus playthrough. First soulsborne game I've ever played where I didn't want to keep playing after a playthrough. Maybe after dlc.
that was me seriously i never cared about it or paid attention to it until i watched a video and it told me to get rid of it so i could get some hp back lol
Can I respec in any point after I finish the game and before starting NG+? Basically can I fast travel from roundtable to Rennala before starting the new game? Thanks.
You won't need the branch I don't think. But if you're worried about it use the cracked orb in your mixed flask that allows you to keep runes upon death.
@@michaelnapper4565 the thing is after the first maybe ten hours of just randomly exploring I’ve been quite focused on what I have been doing. There’s just so much!!!
Great video. I planned on waiting to start NG+ until a true DLC comes out. The only thing I need for platinum is Bolt of Gransax as I cannot get it since I turned the capital to ash. Total crap in my opinion. There should be a way to get this very easy item after the capital is ash. I simply forgot about it and it is not hard to get either.
im very satisfied with what i got from the main game i didnt get all of the trophies just 61% but ill be sure to go and get that rivers of blood, i killed the fire giant before hand prior to me finding out how to get it, its like the only thing i wanted that i didnt get the first time.
im glad i worked my butt off to make sure i could use anything and everything i wanted, any weapons and any spell or incantation... i have no need of another character or playthrough. I explored the hell out of the game and took nearly till the other day to finally finish my first play. Why rush through a whole bunch of times? why not get a quality experience once? you people are just too caught up in being able to say I'm on my 99th play through or... no you're not. but anyway whatever play through you are on good for you like I just finished my first
My remembrance from the final boss DID definitely carry over. I can't verify any others, but that one I can. Just checked, as I started NG+ late last night.
If you didn’t start a new journey after defeating the final boss you can do so by going to the table of grace in roundtable hold and selecting the option to start journey 2.
You can sell Remembrances to a vendor. I believe the one you have sells for 50k. They range from 20k-50k. That's why it's also a good idea to get the things you want with them, and then take advantage of the walking mausoleums per run and duplicate them. I made 3 copies of Malenia's because it sold for 50k.
@@rushpatriot2866 Yes, but the other part is turning them in for the gear. I sold most, then later decided to be a completionist so now wish I got all of their gear, so wasting the chance to use the walking mausoleums is still worth mentioning for those other than you.
I had no idea what changes new game plus brings. But after watching this video I now know that it's exactly what common sense told me it would be and I wasted my time

Idk how people didn’t think to buy upgrade materials before starting new game. Maxed out boluses and hundreds of stones of each type.
My reason to no play ng+ 😂
Why do people assume new game plus means just restarting the story. Not starting a new game with just ask the gear incants and spells you had
Can we just take a moment of silence and realize that we are in 2022 and elden ring is finally out and people are already doing a NG+ ? Thank you
Its not that long at all if you don't explore

Most New game plus does this. Unless u just started gaming
Back up save to the cloud. That way you can unlock all three endings and the trophies/achievements that correspond with said endings in Elden Ring.

1:Get all Limited Items (Ancient Smithing stones for +25/+10) and mby some more Tears since those exist only 8-10 Times
2: Maybe kill most NPC if u done Quests for them, since they could drop a rare/cool Armor set
For example: Patches, he will disappear at the end, and if u kill him before that u get his Leather Armor set
3: Make a List what things u want to get in NP+ since some Quests/Invaders will stop if u kill the Main Boss in that Area

@@MeppiMonster They're referring to npc invaders. In previous souls games ng+ includes more npc invaders or red phantom enemies. Dark Souls 2 had a ton of these
Man if it wasn't for Shadow Of The Erdtree I totally would go into new game plus
I thought it started a new save and started new game plus last night because I was excited about Shadow of the Erdtree 😭😭
Hold on, yo can't play shadow of the erdtree if you are playing ng+?
@@TheLood You can!
Gonna get 999 smithing stones of each and same for somber stones before I even consider ng1
If you put Map Markers on every Site of Grace... will they still be there so you know where they all are at the start of New Game + ? :)
Good question ! Crazy how nobody comments this 😂
@@punisher8632 The answer is yes, they stay on the map. Just started New Game+ and they are still there. :)
Do you stay the same level? Or do you go back to a fresh start? Like vigor strength dexterity?
But are there any secret bosses that only pop up once you beat the game?
no but there is a secret boss towards the end game are his names dragonlord placidusax
I don't even want to do a new game plus playthrough. First soulsborne game I've ever played where I didn't want to keep playing after a playthrough. Maybe after dlc.
do you loose the consumable runes in your inventory like the hero runes?
No you keep those
Great vid. Thank you
Do you keep all the armour sets?
Yu
over level 250 still has Baldachins blessing in his inventory SMH
that was me seriously i never cared about it or paid attention to it until i watched a video and it told me to get rid of it so i could get some hp back lol
Can I respec in any point after I finish the game and before starting NG+?
Basically can I fast travel from roundtable to Rennala before starting the new game?
Thanks.
Yes you can do that
Thanks for the vid. Does the dark moon greatsword carry over as it’s quest related? Thanks
Did you just ask if a weapon carries over? This was talked about in the video...
If you have a sacrifice branch equipped you'd keep your runes from the beginning right? Because the forced death wouldn't cost any runes.
You won't need the branch I don't think. But if you're worried about it use the cracked orb in your mixed flask that allows you to keep runes upon death.
Amazing video, so useful, thank you. Subsribed. Nitpic up the sound, very quiet to hear over the game :)
Excellent. Thanks very much 😊
I’m level 516 and I just started NG+ so I don’t mind re-experiencing grindin’
lol pathetic
Wow! What rune farming method do you recommend? I'm only level 100 RN.
Sounds like you take it slow like I do. I wanted to see every square inch. You only get to play it for the first time once.
@@michaelnapper4565 the thing is after the first maybe ten hours of just randomly exploring I’ve been quite focused on what I have been doing. There’s just so much!!!
When you do a NG+ when leveling up are the levels cheap again or they are still expensive like previous
You keep your level so they're just as expensive
But remember every enemy gives out more runes than before . With that and gold scarab talisman you get a lot of runes .
Get all those mausoleums, too.
Great video. I planned on waiting to start NG+ until a true DLC comes out. The only thing I need for platinum is Bolt of Gransax as I cannot get it since I turned the capital to ash. Total crap in my opinion. There should be a way to get this very easy item after the capital is ash. I simply forgot about it and it is not hard to get either.
I did this as well lol
Well.. have you searched the Ashen capital completely? Maybe the bolt ends up somewhere else and we just dont know it 🤔
So...the ball bearings that you gave to the finger maiden husk...do they remain there, or do you need to hunt them down again?
As of the newest patch which happened a like yesterday they will remain there with the exception of a few
Miner bells will stay so you are good.
@@archangelcloud5354 Thanks bro. It's a huge relief knowing I won't need to hunt them down again.
@@ImaginaryCyborg yeah I know right and I pen way to many runes on somber before heading in too smh
glovewart and smith stones bell bearings stay
Do you lose your lord runes
No you keep those
“Keep doing what you’re doing because you’re already doing it.” That’s called status quo bias.
Can you keep all your talisman?
Yes
This is exactly what I wanted to know! Thanks!
im very satisfied with what i got from the main game i didnt get all of the trophies just 61% but ill be sure to go and get that rivers of blood, i killed the fire giant before hand prior to me finding out how to get it, its like the only thing i wanted that i didnt get the first time.
It's been patched now, if you go back to the right area the invasion will now happen
I just got it by literal accident last night 😅
Rivers of blood is awesome. You should also try dual wielding scavenger’s curve sword with occult affinity and seppuku on it. Crazy blood build
im glad i worked my butt off to make sure i could use anything and everything i wanted, any weapons and any spell or incantation... i have no need of another character or playthrough. I explored the hell out of the game and took nearly till the other day to finally finish my first play. Why rush through a whole bunch of times?
why not get a quality experience once?
you people are just too caught up in being able to say I'm on my 99th play through or... no you're not. but anyway whatever play through you are on good for you like I just finished my first
I finished the first journey and never crafted anything or used all those books.
For those who did do new game plus, do u still get Remembrance from the bosses?
No they do not carry over
They carry over
@@Oryxthetakeenking Lol. That’s contradicting information.
My remembrance from the final boss DID definitely carry over. I can't verify any others, but that one I can. Just checked, as I started NG+ late last night.
They carry over, don’t know what the creator meant
Will all NPC’s be revived? I killed Yura and I really want his ash of war, so I’m hoping he’s alive in my NG+
Get it from the twins in roundtable hold
@@kylitrixgames4980 you can’t
All npc revive
just use a celestial dew
Wish I found this sooner because I almost finished ng+ 4
Do you keep your level?
Yes
Ok thank you
Can you keep any clothed that you collect?
Yes,armor,weapons etc carries over
@@videohits4ever432 any spells, incantations, and talismans. Correct? Just making sure.
@Pengun just finished to game. Can you keep remembrances?
What about runes in you're inventory like great,, golden, hero, lord runes ???
Id rather they re.ove the map markers so u can tell what u haven't done already
0:00 hey that’s my message on top of the staff thing to his right
what to do if im refused to start a ng? i thought thats gonna be a full new world and im will lose everything and refused.
If you didn’t start a new journey after defeating the final boss you can do so by going to the table of grace in roundtable hold and selecting the option to start journey 2.
You just have to go to the Roundtable Hold and rest at the big round table and you can select Journey 2 from there
@@ZWOGs holy fuck thank you so much
So, if you played a Souls game before you already know what to expect in NG+.
Yes, except there are no NG+ specific items like in the Souls series - kinda upsetting.
Do you lose like your strength like for example or do u have spec into everything?agin ❤ please lmk !!
No you don’t, you keep everything you have besides quests items.
Sorry if I missed it but do you get to keep all your talismans and physics potion tears??
Yes to both
@@GamerCory thank you!!
When you say you will loose your runes is that both runes that have not been broken\used or just the amount that shows when at the merchant?
What abozt boss souls? is lost or not?thanks
"i hope you have a fantastic day"
me about to start new game+
You can sell Remembrances to a vendor. I believe the one you have sells for 50k. They range from 20k-50k. That's why it's also a good idea to get the things you want with them, and then take advantage of the walking mausoleums per run and duplicate them. I made 3 copies of Malenia's because it sold for 50k.
Could farm over a mil by the time you duplicate 3 times
@@rushpatriot2866 Yes, but the other part is turning them in for the gear. I sold most, then later decided to be a completionist so now wish I got all of their gear, so wasting the chance to use the walking mausoleums is still worth mentioning for those other than you.
You can also just USE them like any rune Numens, Heros, Great Rune.
This is absolutely terrible as a rune making strat.
Just go te underworld farm there for 15 min and you will have 10x more runes
I had no idea what changes new game plus brings. But after watching this video I now know that it's exactly what common sense told me it would be and I wasted my time
You can make save before going to ng+ then go ng+ get trophy then comback ?
Do you keep your spells?
So incantations & spells transfer?
Yes
Thanks for the video, I am about to start NG+ and wonder if the stoneward keys will carry over?
They do :)
Do you get to keep all the boss weapons you received from their remembrance?
Yes you do! You keep most items except for game breaking things such as bell bearings or keys for example
Do you lose all of your acquired armour sets? Such as Veterans, Crucible Knight etc?
7:35. I did the same thing with the same remembrance haha
love how i see this right after starting ng +
Got to love it
thank you for the total breakdown, but elephant in the room, can you keep smithing your weapons that are already plus 10?
Someone can explain atound how many smithing stones and somber dtones shoupd we carry into the next game and how many gloewarts should we bring too
