[spoilers] new game plus or whatever this is

[Manbarondenna]

so shade told me not to go to end of time so of course i did

i started as blue and now im red, collected the soul weapon, so far the only difference was time police after me when we approached door to 3.5 dimension

am i supposed to keep heading on the same path and do the same thing until we realise we need a third weapon and i will be transformed again? you know, for the cat god door?

[Aumires]

You can get all 3 weapons in the same playthrough.

2nd weapon from finishing the alien world questline visiting them various times.

3rd weapon from the entity inside Yellow.

As you are doing this apparent NG+, could you check what happens if you get a duplicate weapon? The color of it should be related to either the aliens or the other one.

Were you able to get a 2nd Catnip from the mailbox?

[Manbarondenna]

i never touched irvine's property, but i gotta ask

is catnip for summoning sam in his crib? because its empty when irvine told me to go there

i could not beat lime and i didnt get the weapon from alien story, must have missed something

but yea i was pretty much turned into red with my level intact, talismans collected, but zero keys, quest items or weapons remained, all cosmetics were saved

got the axe now after dragon

not really sure whats going on

[GUPPYCATTO]

Thats weird. When I went to the end of time, I kept my color and plot continued. But I did have all 4 soul weapons.

If you have two colors for the cat god door, then instead of being sent back to the start, Robert summons another mind dragon for you to kill.

How did you get NG+? I thought you had to start a new save file in order to get a different colour, but that’s cool

Edit: oh wait just re-read, assuming when you go to the end of time that’s where you hit it. Where abouts is that again?

its when shade is toying with you in their fight without hp regen

at some point he will show you the end of time and tell you not to go there

i went there, fought end of time, exploded, and then cat god door got blue gem in it

riley told me quick there is no time get in the machine and gather other soul weapons, riley says "the other me wont recognize you"; machine transforms myself into Red, and spawns me in the veggie timeline, essentially restarting entire game, except i have my level so im stronger

did it reset your level?

OK now that is super interesting. The stones come from the soul weapons, so I guess that means you should NOT collect the other soul weapons to actually repeat the game on the same save. If you get all 3 soul weapons in the same run, the 3 stones open that cat door and the endgame sequence with Riley plays out

[Betty the Bat]

So... Does it even have NG+?

no, i went from a Blue save file with 10 hrs to Red save file with 10 hours

I don't think this is a NG+ thing, for some reason they just make you replay the game if you missed side content (getting the other soul weapons), as the game is supposed to properly continue after that door if you do have them

I didn't encounter this myself as I had the weapons but I've not got a single clue as to why they would make this design decision

No. It doesn't. You keep your accessories too, and all the enemies scale up on loop 2. There is no loop 3 if you again go to the door with only one soul weapon, Riley summons and forces you to fight a rainbow version of Pink for the last gem.

I wonder if there's some way to get to the end with only your bare fists, but no matter how hard I think about it you have to kill the dragon which means you always end up with at least one soul weapon. Unless I'm missing something anyways.

On your second go through, did you get a second soul weapon (as in have 2 when you reached the door at the end)? I’ve been reading that Riley summons the light figure if you miss that but you did go through the aliens timeline and get their soul weapon. So essentially
1 soul weapon - Riley sends you back to the start as a different soul color
2 soul weapons - Riley summons the third being to you to force you to get the third
3 soul weapons - you go through the door and do the Riley sequence

I’m working through a second playthrough after being sent back now, had a time cop fight in the hangout area when Irvine put the portal up which I hadn’t seen before but that might be because I beat the mind dragon first go this time being the higher level. I am wondering if 3 playthroughs, as each soul color, does anything, though I doubt it honestly

No. I did not. I was testing random stuff and the only thing I did on both rounds was immediately bum-rush the dragon after the first area and proceed to endgame. Which results in fighting a light being.

Anyways, you cannot do more than a single loop and can only play as two soul colors on a single save as far as I can tell. Unless you know some way to get to the end skipping the dragon.

Nah I had 3 weapons but still needed to fight the light being
