Questions before New Game+

[KurokaiSO]

Hello! So today, I finally got every side quest completed, as I wanted to finish them before I start New Game+ as I have everything unlocked now. (The Achievements I can get with Level 22) - I found all Relicts and sold them, I found every Book of the Dead Pages and unlocked every Chest (and hidden chests) in the Death Tombs and completed the Maze too.

(yet, I didn't start the Campaigns)

I'm basically ready to continue, but:

1. on the right side of the skill tree, the only thing I'm missing is "Red Harvest" which I need 3 Skill Points for - did I miss something, are there more hidden Skill Point Chests I didn't find yet? (Since I found multiple) Or is it not possible to get every skill before I start New Game+? (or did you get a Skill Point after beating Avatar of Chaos as I don't remember?)

2. When I start the New Game+ : What do I keep and what do I lose? What should I do before I start New Game+ to prevent losses?

Any answer would be much appreciated!

I believe usually the only 2 achievements you should have left going into NG+ are to hit lvl 30 and beat the game on the hardest difficulty (assuming first playthrough wasnt on it)

Nah, I played on Deathinitive on the first playthrough. The only achievements left are getting to Level 30, completing the Crucible and defeating Wicked K, which I assume is in the Crucible?

Otherwise I have everything else done in the first playthrough. I just didn't wanna start a new game+ earlier and before not knowing, what items I will lose and keep

NG is capped at lvl 22.Make sure you used up all your stones/collectibles before starting NG+ as they are all lost.Find all skill chest and skill rewards.

Some bosses or completed quest give different reward on NG+like the bloodless one.

Obviously enemiers are higher level minimum 22 or 23.

In order to defeat Wicked K you must defeat all 100 crucible rounds in a row without exiting likely taking 90-180 minutes depending on build and difficulty.So make sure you dedicate time.

I recommend to get to max lvl 30 and get as many stone upgrades done in NG+ before trying it in 1 go usually after Samael fight done but before final boss.

Wicked K(basically climbing for round 101) is obviously NG+ only.

Turn off dmg numbers as it can crash the game in the crucible can ruin 1-2 hours of progress.
Dmg floating numbers are usually stable everywhere else.

All your weapons and such carry over,you will need to re aquire plot stuff like the pistol deahtgrap etc.
Every chest including hidden and skill respawns and can be recollected.
I am 99% sure you can not max all skills even with all skills found.

All collectibles including stones respawn and can be used to upgrade stats once more.

1 big note if you kill the final boss in NG+ the game ends there is no NG++.
Killing the final boss in the crucible(I think round 100)will not end the game.

Most "bosses" have many recieved dmg caps,likely happen on NG+,they have many "phases"and sometimes death will bounce off them,so you can not over dmg bosses to skip phases.

On NG this likely never happens,or only on easy.(I also played on hardest,but not finished it.)

Alright tysm! I appreciate it. also, what about inventory and gilt, will I keep them too?

[Crypto Gamer]

I do not remember if those optional 100 merchant coin collectibles carry over or not (almost never used them).Other collectibles lost.

But all not story related gear,like weapons carry over,I think gilt too but not 100% sure about that.

Few weapons in this game also "level up"with you(much more weapons in this 2015 edition).

You will get new weapons too,the first boss frost giant will drop NG+ weapon.

Afaik you also get Final boss weapon from NG.So you will have many weapons.
So you can not have weapon problems.

Lifesteal and such is more common in NG+.You should have life steal before attempting hard parts.
I only played NG+ on 2012 edtion,but Gilt likely will not be an issue by this point even if it does not carry over.

You can also feed lvl 40 nodescript charms from Vulgrim to possesed weapons to get every atribute role possible for the weapon type but it is random.So you can get nice rolls.
Usually too expensive or not worth it on NG.
