Why do people say you need NG+3 to fully unlock the relic?

[zero.calvin]

1st play through: relic lv. 1
NG+1: relic lv.2
NG+2: relic lv.3 (should be fully unlocked)

is there a hidden 4 ability for the relic to unlock later?

the last relic ability from erlang might need u start ng+3 to give it to u?

thats odd, i just finish beating erlang and he give me the 6th relic upgrade right way allowing all the relic to be in lv.2 (2 unlocked ability)

You can't unlock the last ability of the mind relic until you finish NG+3. It is only available for you to unlock on NG+4.

so beating erlang in NG+2 doesnt give you a relic upgrade? that is really odd if it's true... oh well i'll find about it later once the new patch is out.

thats only if you didnt do the true ending in your very first playthrough.

its like the op said. if you do the true ending from the very first playthrough its (talking about doing the true erlang ending to get the upgrade point for the 6. relic):

1. playthrough: get 6. relic + 1 upgrade point
2. playthrough - ng+1: +1 upgrade point for the 6. relic
3. playthrough - ng+2: +1 upgrade point for the 6. relic - and its fully upgraded in this playthrough
every other playthrough after this - ng+3 and more: no more upgrade points, since your relic is maxed

this is how i did it and by now im on ng+5 (i think)

if you did the normal ending inbetween and started a ng+ after that, you obviously would need to do one additional (ng+3) playthrough with the true ending to get an upgrade point to max the relic.

sry, but you are wrong. I did it the last 4 days

after i beat Erlang the 3. time...i got all relics. (NG++)
Not after you finish the 3. run.
i beat Broken shell with all relics. (6x3)

2x true ending +3 * erlang = all relics
