Ng+ nightmare question

[shinryu495]

So I beat it on hard and got everything done except the true ending nightmare. I just want to ask or double confirm what gets carried over to make life easier. Like do stat and level elixirs carry over? What about the stats that you got from the elixirs? How about empty bottles? I assume key items such as recipes and certain adventuring gear don't carry over for obvious reasons.

Also just to double check to get the true ending is only related to Past Dana's points and virtue? or would Adols reputation also count toward this? I kind of just don't want to mess it up somehow like I did with Ys 9 ng+ where I had to do ng+ runs and forgot something. Thanks.

Adol also needs 200+ reputation IIRC.

I'm not sure about how stats carry over exactly.

What you can carry over NG+

- All armors except weapons and their upgrades
- All accessories
- All materials
- All consumables like fruits, medicines, food, elixirs except Spirit Elixirs (that increase mana bar, also reset to 100/200 gauge from start) and Empty Bottles for mixing potions.
- All skills and their levels
- All character levels and STR/DEF stats changes thanks to Elixirs
- All map progression and markings such as treasures, material points
- All key items and adventuring gears are reset, cannot be carried over indeed

Also extra options for you to choose:

- All kinds of ore added +10 at start
- Extra 3 empty bottles
- Infinity mode - while you get to increase special mats drop rate, the enemies also scaled up to and beyond your level (for example if you are lv 75 before, next run enemies also start at around 70s and increase from there). It was doable at first but soon you will get much spongy enemies later on, so additional grinding may be required, and not recommended to try on Nightmare or Inferno at all.

To get true ending:

- As long as your village reputation is minimum 200 points - doing sidequests and increasing NPC star favors, find castaway members, key notes and logs, trying to score many S rank raids as possible (no need to complete them all on S rank tho), and hunts too. By the end chapter you can earn more than 250 points so that should leave you ample of spaces for error.
- Dana virtue points are not counted so you do not need to complete all of her quests.

Just letting you know I just finished with getting the plat. I basically ended up 100% ng+ for fun. Thanks for all the help tho since you've replied to all the question I asked before. Tbh I feel like there isn't a comprehensive enough guide out there for 100% achievement unless what you posted was a copy/paste that I missed.
