New game+ changes in dark souls 3

[Darkreaver1980]

Hi there,

Newgame+ was realy good in SOTLS, i wonder if dark souls 3 newgame+ mode also features new enemys with new placements and harder gameplay

Apparently, no. Although there's a weapon you can only forge in NG+. You can make 2 different weapons with a certain boss' soul. If you have both, you can sort of "combine" them to make a new one. A la Northern Regalia.

Edited for clarity.

damn that isnt nice, that cuts replayability down by quiet a bit :(

So the only thing that changes in newgame+ is that you can find better ring + able to craft an unique weapon? o.O

the only reason i will go into ng+ and ng++ is to get the +2 rings.

Can you still summon people though ng+ games? i mean like in dark souls 2, you are able to play with people that are still in the normal game while you are already in newgame+?

It's SL based so yes, it doesn't matter wich cycle you are in as long as you are in level range.

Yup, you can totally beat the game with a low lvl character and summon newbies in NG+.

Ha! now i have something to try! :D

i guess that monsters + bosses are harder in newgame+? would be funny to summon noobs and see how they get roflstomped by the monsters

Yep, like others have said there is little difference, no new red/black npc phantoms like in DS2, just harder difficulty obviously.
The only thing 'new' I would argue is rings and stuff being +1 and +2 like in DS2, so that's pretty cool. No idea if there are bonfire ascetics like in DS2 to get those upgraded rings in your first cycle if you are good enough though.

[Darkreaver1980]

Nope, no bone fire ascetics. But overall im a bit disapointed cos the new stuff in dark souls 2 at newgame+ mode was realy nice. In dark souls 3, you basicaly just replay the same game with little changes

I'll probably try that.

They f****ed replayability hard by removing armor upgrades and messing with NG+.
Thanks to those, there is absolutely no more reason for not throwing DS3 outta the window after finishing it once. Other than PvP it is.

Ahh thank you for that clarification. I don't mind that, it gives incentive to go into NG+1/2 etc just for those upgraded rings. I think it will be fun summoning NG players into an NG+3 world or whatever for a boss.

It would frighten me at least lol.

That's too bad. Not even something like the gravelording yourself to be done with a mod or anything.

Let's hope there is a PtD/SotFS Version after that adds to it.
