Submit

People still nerfing this game like it's 2012! All hail the great Miyazaki!

the part about "losing" unlocked gear from domnhall should be clarified to mean you only lose the option to BUY them. any armor you have in your inventory stays with you.

also the percentages of how NG+ increases by a percentage could be clearer. it makes it seem like NG+ cycles HP/damage/souls increase percentages stack exponentially? like if an enemy has 500 health by NG+6, if you make it to NG+10 it'll have 1000. it's taken me several reads on it to discern i'm almost certain that can't be right.

Submit

Hey I was wondering if you can obtain more spells/weapons from covenants in NG+? Like having more chaos fireball for more charges?

Submit

What are the difficulties of playing NG offline?

Basically NG should be your longest run. First of all because you start with no build and equipment. You need to fam humanity, soul level, collect gear, upgrate it, kindle bonfires and things like that. When it comes to farming items (titanite mainly) NG is best time since enemiest will be weakest so you can go for increased drop rate instead of damage or protection. So don't rush to the end. Take your time to collect everything you will need.

When you enter NG+ you already should have everything you need for your chosen build except unique things that need second copy and some stats that still left to level up. You will notice significant increase in enemy damage and health thus making farming items harder. Plus you may also be target of gravelord infection making this even more difficult. But when you have everything prepared and farmed you need only to pass every area picking stuff and killing things to gain more souls and missing items you need.

When you enter NG++ and beyond you should actually have complete character (maybe lacking some few things here and there). At this point you can stop progressing game and focus on PvP or go for challenge how high level you can get or how many times you could beat the game since with each run enemies will be stronger while your stats will become hard capped and futher leveling will offer only very small boosts. Remember thet getting to big soul level will cut you off from any form of online play since you will be out of level ranges for summoning and invasions. So around level 200-300 you will pretty much start to play solo with rare exceptions.

A question. I am trying to get the artorias sword, with the artorias soul, but I can't upgrade my weapon to +6 I already got the large ember, very large ember, divine ember, large divine amber, and gave them to andre but I can't upgrade my weapon to +6, I'm on my first NG+ and I don't know what to do.

Submit

Do the percentages stack? If you have a 25% increase does that mean that the next ng+ you will have a 25% increase of the previous ng+, or does it just add up?

Submit

i wish it wared you like ds2 and ds3

Submit

The fact that you lose boss armors on NG+ suck ass

Submit

Items exclusive to ng+ Gwyn's set, sunlight spear and his sword.

Submit

Ng+ in Dark Souls feels really challenging compared to Elden Ring's NG+.
Even trash mobs in the Undead Parish will kill me if I get too cocky.
I just beat O&S and I'm goofing around trying to get the platinum.

Submit

At the very start of NG+, in the Undead Asylum cell, can you homeward bone out of there to, for example, the Lordvessel altar, since that was my last bonfire rested at? And what if you don't collect the key off of the hollow that drops into the cell; can that drop despawn if you leave or quit or anything like that?

Submit

Aonde eu vejo marcado no jogo qual NG que eu estou no DS2 e na bonfire no DS1 eu nao sei.

Submit

Dose anyone else just never bother with ng+ for from games? I always just create a new character.

Submit

So what other hidden stuff i get in ng+ 7/6 other than sunlight spear and greatlord armor?

Submit

So, technically, you only have to kindle bonfires before ng+, if you don't want to rush Pinwheel once you reach Firelink Shrine, right? I mean, if you kill him early, you can just kindle all the Bonfires when reaching them in NG+.

Submit

do you lose the darkmoon seance ring?

Submit

Killing all the npcs before ng+ took a mental toll on me. Haven't done it before ng+2

Submit

does titanite carry over?

Submit

Buenas, se puede condinar mejorando una arma a mas niveles si esta esta al maximo y estas en NG?

Submit

I killed Gwyn (finally) and did the "Link the Fire" ending without knowing it would start NG+. I immediatly came to this page and regret pressing the "Link the Fire" button.

Submit

So here it says "Killing any of the Fire Keepers will reset the Kindle on their respective fires in the next New Game.
Killing Gwynevere will reset the chamber of the princess bonfire kindle."
However, I had all those bonfires kindled to the maximum (20 Estus), killed Gwynevere as well as the Fire Keeper in Anor Londo and the Daughter of Chaos, and still all three of those bonfires were kindled to the max level when I found them again in NG+. Seems like the bonfire kindling doesn't reset in the Remaster.

Submit

I read on a few other pages online that if you're a chaos servant +2, the ability to unlock the shortcut in lost izalith is lost and you need to eat 30 humanity every playthrough. On this page it says the contrary, i've always just chose to not risk it and simp the daughter of chaos each playthrough. Any thoughts? I myself dont plan on it anymore unless i want to save solaire again, but if someone else is skimming the comments it could be useful. (i've progressed to +5 where that titanite demon can just 1 shot me, better off just making do with the hidden bonfire unless i want to save solaire again.)

Submit

can someone help me find out which ng+ I’m on? I made a test and I gain 550 souls killing a basic hollow that would otherwise give me 100 souls in ng

Submit

I'm in NG+ and have reached Oolacile Township. I'm offline and hollow but I'm seeing increasing numbers of red phantom residents. Yesterday, there was just one red phantom sorceress that kept reappearing after resting at the bonfire, but today there are several red phantom bloatheads, one group in pairs. I promise, I am definitely offline. I've searched this wiki for an answer but haven't found any information about this. Is it just something that happens in NG+ versions? Thanks for any help.

Submit

Lets make this simple.. Exactly how many times do I need to kill Gwyn in order to start my new playthrough on the highest difficulty setting?

Submit

Woah what the hell, even hollows are killing me in two hits( i did a 20 vit no armour run in ng )

Submit

o maximo de ng+ é 7?

Submit

im lost the wiki's to do list says kindle all bonfires to the max but when you start an NG+ it will go back to 5 estus flasks

Submit

I'm a bit confused by the kindle every bonfire, but killing the Firekeepers will reset their kindle in NG+. Doesn't that mean kindling their bonfires is a waste of time if you plan to kill them? Am I misunderstanding something?

Submit

Do the blacksmiths still have embers given to them in NG ?

Submit

I think people should read the whole thing before commenting crap.He did mention than both Master key and Bottomless Box carry over to NG+.Also,covenant of Artorias and Orange Charred Ring are taken from the player in NG+,I just confirmed.

Submit

Yeah it did not start sin free for me on New game Plus

Submit

A lot of this information is old and was speculation due to players not knowing how thing operated fully during the days of when Dark Souls 1 was new. In short, in the Remaster, considering that's what people worry about the most, everything carries over its essentially the same as Dark Douls 2 and 3. Things like Key items of course don't carry over, and ironically the weapon & armor Upgrades don't carry over but the storage box does.

Submit

Thanks, doing my first ng+ run through, beat the game years ago but I never did a ng+ so this info is really helpful. Playing on xbox one

Submit

does weapon and armor upgrades change in NG+? for example if in NG my max weapon upgrade lvl is +5 can i get it to +10 in NG+ ?

Submit

hmm, thats funny.
i didnt lose the orange charred ring when i started NG+

no clue if its a bug or not, but im not complaining

Submit

The gate beyond the boar that leads to the undead parish that you usually have to open from the other side will still be opened on new game + until you die after new game + ing

Submit

If I got it right then it works like this. I will put darkroot forest as an example.
- on new game the forest guardians yield 7000 soul per run
- on new game+ something like 30.000
- on new game ++ will they yield more than the previous number?? I mean... the souls enemies give increase with a new game cycle up to a total of 6

Submit

Boobasex

Submit

I'm on xone backwards compatibility and even tho I killed both firekeepers from lost izalith and anor londo, they're still kindled to 20 estus on my NG+ playthrough

Submit

I'm in NG+. When I restart, will a completely new game start or my NG+? Thanks

Submit

Do merchant prices change in NG+?

Submit

Thanks! ^_^

Submit

Sad

Submit

I love speculating and secrets but that paragraph about multiple NGs potentially unlocking new things is a tad silly. The great lord armour for example is available in ng+ because they designed the game to force you into the next playthrough after beating gwyn which makes it impossible to go back to domhnall. Similar scenario with O & S, you can’t beat both in one playthrough so you need ng+ to get both armour sets. These are side effects of the games setup, they’re not put into ng+ for the sake of it so it’s only logical that if you reach right up to ng+6 there won’t be any hidden items because there’s no reason for there to be.

Submit

is NG infinite?

Submit

Do npcs also get stronger within each NG+ and up?

Submit

Do enemies have more poise on NG+?

Submit

Is the ng+ 6/7 the cap of the additional health and boost to enemy? What special things do you or could you find in ng+7

Submit

Really important, make sure you farm those blue drakes in front of new londo ruins, I find their drop rate is higher in ng rather than in any other subsequent plays. Plus they have lower health and you can pretty much one-hit with a maxed black knight axe or something with similar damage

Submit

upvote this if you've beaten NG+6.

And pls don't downvote if you haven't.

Submit

One thing that is implied (but not specifically mentioned) in the NG+ checklist is that you can buy the master key from Domnhall of Zena. If you didn't start with it you don't really need to go through the Depths and upper Blighttown a second time (assuming you looted everything the first time).

Capra Demon and Gaping Dragon also don't drop boss souls, so as long as you cut off Gaping's tail on NG, you won't miss any equipment for the Knight's Honor achievement if you use the shortcut on the second run.

If you skip those areas you can be in Anor Londo again within like 2 hours of starting NG+, makes it a lot quicker to grind through the trophies.

Submit

Does the covenant ranking besides my current one reset after ng+? Like going to ng+ with the forest hunter will reset my +3 rankings of Darkwhraith and the Dragon remnants back to +0? Does killing Gwyndolin resets the ranking of the darkmoon blade back to +0? I was ranking +1, but I had to give him ALL the 80 souvenirs instead of Just 70 in the NG+, did the ranking reset as a penalty or it's because the counting ITSELF was resetted? Even If I was +1, +2 ranking, I have to give all the 80 covenant itens back to gain a rank after entering another NG cicle?

Submit

Is there a suggested level one should be before fighting Gwyn and going to NG+?

Submit

I honestly will suggest into the "To-do List before defeating Final Boss" to farm the dark wraiths in the cavern before Manus Father of the Abyss (for who does have the DLC ofc) to farm humanity. Hell does guys carry a bunch of em, I farmed like 100+ points while trying to kill Manus with 0 efforts.

How does the scaling work on new game+?

The items inside my bottomless box, would be in my storage when the New Game + Starts? Or will they only be available when i get the Bottomless box again ?
