NG+ way too easy

[Ins]

This is terrible design. I am forced to gimp myself to keep the game challenging, and thus enjoyable. But the very process of gimping myself feels unenjoyable.

I took a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ weapon atleast but that didn't change much. Really just spamming light attacks defeats every boss. Now in act 3 and I've just been steam rolling everything..

Wat do, need insights. How to enjoy the game without making it unenjoyable by gimping myself hard

[zero.calvin]

you think that now, each NG+ will make the game harder, so you just need to keep doing NG+ until eventually you'll get one shot from every mini bosses... or so i heard.

[Blacksmith77K]

YES, if you grind a little bit in your first playthrough, than you can feel you a little bit overpowered in NG+

Enjoy that because this effect will be reduced again in NG++

To gimp yourself: decrease your stats, you dont have to use all your points.

Reduce your Level

how about you show us your video on no damage, perfect dodge and just use basic attack? unless you are ongbal you shouldn't have any respect. respect is earned not talk big.

it's intended. you need to finish NG+3 all good ending to get all 6 relics upgraded. NG+4 is where the challenge started.

This must be the first time you have ever played NG+ in a video game.

Most games with NG+ are like this the first 1-2 NG+s (if they even feature a gradually increasing difficulty cycle, otherwise they're just plain easy) like Dark Souls games, Elden Ring, Resident Evil games, etc. NG+ tends to be dramatically easier than NG runs.

I think the core issue here, though, is they could have actually buffed the earlier enemies to scale better in NG+ though.

ya i do wish they had properly buffed earlier bosses it was waaay to easy in my second round makes you appreciate the hard core challenge souls-likes add .

I stopped playing this after hitting Erlang in NG+3
Literally gave up. At some point I'll give him another go but for the time being I'll finish some other games.

[HiggsLP]

Yep it was easy.
What I did was- switched out weapon to this thrust stance CHu-Bai 70dmg.
Also chose another build and upgraded to level I felt comfortable, NG + is meant to be played around with different tactics/builds imo.
Also I limited myself in NG + And ++ to spells according to the chapter progression, didnt use Cloud Step b4 I "got" it in game.
Didnt use life saving etc pills till Erlang/Sage...
And whoever is saying NG++ is harder? For me its easier, welp partly bc Im using maxed Centipede staff. But besides enemies hitting harder it has been even easier than NG+. Welp lets see what Yellow Loong brings, but 1st time I got Wind Sage down in 2 tries(1st try I didnt have the wind orb and made wrong turn), beat him into pulp, so much that he pulled back behind wind and I couldnt see him dashing up 2x ...

Edit. But I wish the game was as hard as it is in NG+, and scaled to NG++ level in NG+ etc... maybe could have been a bot more fun, who knows...

This was the only major problem for me aswell.

Play NG+ with almost all available skills and gear, then complain the game is too easy.

[PeekaBoobies]

You have to complete NG+3 to unlock all collectible item in wukong. The difficulty increase in each cycle you entering. If you want something challenge, try reach NG+!0. I got my ass wipe at NG+7.

If you want challenges on ng+ go win gauntlets of legends
