Accidentally cleared a beacon

[Kauldric]

I’m playing fire and I accidentally cleared the first beacon. Ami screwed? Should I just restart? I can respec this guy to be radiant I guess.

[Limp Squirrel]

I don't get it. What's the problem here?

It matters not which build you play. Whether you cleanse the shrines or not only affects the ending. That said, by cleansing the first shrine you have effectively locked yourself to the Radiant ending (I doubt you would be doing the Umbral ending if you didn't even know what cleansing affects). In any case, Infernal ending is no longer accessible for you in this playthrough.

I rad somewhere you may not be able to get certain fire spells if you do the radiant ending

Don't you worry about it, I doubt you will be playing NG+ anyway so no way to have everything collected. :D NG+ is designed specifically for speedrunners and speedrunners only.

Because developers think forcing you to a challenge run is super fun and they believe it's a good mechanic when in reality they've just simply got their heads up their asses and don't want to accept everyone wants NG+ to have vestiges, because in case you didn't know, it does not have vestiges. Just plain stupid.

[Goodfella]

Because there are no vestiges in NG+, a rather silly move from the developers.

I know this is a spoiler but on new game + since there are no "bonfires" to keep you fast travel, I dont think you will be encouraged to explore, thats what the guy meant by "I doubt you will be playing NG+"

Dont u still have seeds?^^

[Dome, Digga.]

I mean when u end up in NG+ dont u know where u gonna need to go next anyway so i dont think theres a need of vestiges anyway. I rarely use them in my normal run. Just to get back to the "town" area ofc so you go smithing and upgrade n stuff. Other than that, world is connected really well. If u dont have seeds in NG+ u right, no 1 casual will play this BS then.

Seed is a temporary vestige that is not kept forever. The moment you plant a new seed, the previous one is removed. IF planted seeds would stay for the entire NG, it would be perfectly fine. But you are limited to 1 seeded vestige at any given time.

Quest lines in this game require a lot of fast travelling without it you will spend literally hours running through the entire map back and forth. Thats why I said NG+ is designed for speedrunners only.

Yea, but when u plant a new one, u might just dont need the old one anyway because u progressed further and have huge shortcuts to backtrack

I get your point but i dont see it where u run HOURS to get back anywhere.
To be fair i only reached calrath and im on my first playthrough going for umbral ending.
Of course theres a chance that u cant reach bellroom from the last vestige easily but why would u want it anyway.
The questlines are pretty straight forward imo, SO FAR tbf.
