Tips for new game++ onward

[cyberfive97]

Honestly, with how insane things have been so far, I have to ask if there is anyway to deal with it a little easier.

And also, if there are an infinite amount of new games, does taht mean at some point it will become impossible to beat the game? If so, I at least want the blueprint achievement before restarting the saved game.

It can be difficult if you finished NG+ too quickly, which is what many people do since the NG+ bosses are so easy. I made the same mistake and it took an hour or two before I could get used to the 3rd variant enemies and farm enough gold to bring myself to a good enough level. Some Grace runes might be a good idea.

AFAIK there is an infinite number of new games, yes. This allows you to finish the game as often as you want. There's nothing stopping you from collecting all blueprints. There's also nothing stopping you from deleting your save if you want to start over with nothing (instead of seeing which NG+x level you can reach).

I'm up to NG8 and I don't think it will become impossible to beat the game for quite a few more playthroughs since the boss rooms remain reachable through the judicious use of Mist Form with maxed skills along with using the Arcitect to prevent the castle from resetting (which isn't really a big deal when there's nothing left to spend the money on and mobs drop thousands of gold). I have all the bosses dead on NG8 but I'm trying to find the last blueprint so I can have 100% achievement completition before going on to NG9.

I think it goes on forever. Some people on this forum claim to have been to NG11 and beyond.

I think the thing about getting so many NGs is just like you said, the architect is practically free to use at that point. If you can manage to locate all the boss rooms on one map, and lock that map down, you can infinitely just go, teleport to each boss, and kick their butts. At games that high, the bosses are easier than the rest of the rooms.

Well, more specificly to what I was asking, if you only can get so many manor upgrades, and the best armor in the game only boost you so much, do the enemies also have a limit to their levels, as well, or will they eventually outpower you?

Fairy Chests and Boss Chests will keep giving you stat upgrades forever. The enemies might not have any limits, but you don't either.

Like our friend has stated, as soon as you get all the runes, the Fairy Chests will start to drop stat upgrades.

If you are having problems with the enemies, dont be afraid to use Curse Runes (Enemy Lvl. Down), you will still get a lot of money from chests and enemies alike.

The castle resets when you beat the fountain, so you can't lock the castle down afterwards.

I just beat the game for the first time this afternoon... and now it's nighttime and I'm on NG+5, at level 315 or so.

It's really simple; you have one class that's okay for traveling around the map (Assassin) and one class that's amazing for traveling around the map (Barbarian King/Queen). For map travel, you equip only max armor equipment (including guardian items for equipment that wouldn't normally give an armor bonus), then set your runes to 4 haste 1 jump.

Keeping the map screwed down so you save your 'checkpoints', you can make it to the bosses in under 10 minutes, and down them (usually with Assassin in full slayer gear and 4 retribution rune 1 jump rune, or perhaps 3 retribution rune 1 jump 1 haste rune -- you should have crit chance % and crit damage % maxed in the castle, too) in 5 minutes, completing a full run-through in under an hour.

Barbarian King actually works amazingly well on some bosses; I just finished my last run by beating Ponce De Leon sloppily with 40% health remaining, then just walking into Johannes without healing and sloppily beating him too.

Stop trying to kill all enemies. Just fight the bosses, minibosses that give chests (the 2 dark ghosts or the big skeleton for instance) and the ones you can easily kill without them doing damage to you. Use multiple jump runes and a dash rune so you can blaze through rooms that have lots of bullet hell. Barbarian and Assassin are good classes for exploring, as stated before.
As for money problems, my stats were fairly poor at the time of NG++ as well. I wouldn't really worry too much about those and just buy a point as you go along. Most stats don't accomplish that much, but health is nice to have a lot of.

And I thought the 1 new game+ was already crazy lol. Been struggling in the first new game+ I killed the first boss cuz he's hella easy, but now just kind of stuck.
