Where to level up in New Game Plus?

[Vakula]

Im on NG+3, demon bell, charmless, and my god, I cant get a skill point to save my life. Everything gives next to nothing, and I still need to get shadow fall. Please help a brother out with a good exp farming spot. Im currently at ashina castle.

Go further into the game. The XP increase in NG+ is multiplicative, so you're still going to get crap XP from the early enemies.

The best way to get more XP in this game is to progress. The further you go into the game the more XP you get. The same goes for NG+, if you want more XP faster, go to the next cycle. Staying in one spot to try and "farm" XP, is the worst thing you can do. Its boring, and the amount of XP you get does not increase.

For easy farm, don't kill the second ogre in Ashina Castle. Instead leave it up until the end game, where if you jump on the ledge above it, it trigger the ministry soldiers to attack it and they will get oneshot by the ogre once it breaks free.
Another good spot (which requires a bit more practice to perform) is to farm ministry soldiers in the area where you originally fought the first ogre.

ashina outskirts, stairway idol. those 5 soldiers, at ashina castle war, late/endgame

Outskirts endgame is where I farm. I'm in NG+6, I believe, and I'm seeing tens of thousands per run in this area if I clear beyond those 5 enemies.

If you continue up through the door there is a lot more XP to be had in the same run, but you need to do extra stuff kill the mini boss in the area to make it effective.

As soon as you pass through the door you'll see. 😁

Honestly most of your XP gain is just going to come from progressing beating bosses in new cycles. There are a few good spots for grinding, but they’re endgame.

I agree. This is also much more fun than grinding.

I usually play the game for fun and hit up farming spots to reach XP milestones or farm consumables before starting a new playthrough.

yeah agreed, I just dont wanna replay the game 7 times to unlock all skills. I still have to beat Bayonetta 2.

Fair enough.

By NG+3 the end game farm or mibu villagers farming should give you enough to unlock all skills fairly quickly.

You can blitz to mibu very quickly from ashina castle if you know where to go. That path will bypass a boss and save some time if you're rushing to end game. A number bosses and mini bosses are skippable if you know what to do which will get you to end game faster.

I saw a crazy do run there on YouTube a while back. I found the run was too high risk for my taste.

The end game outskirts run is far more effective for my playstyle.

[Paradox]

you get so many skills by ng+2-3 that fountainhead becomes easy, it's just tedious having to farm 9 skill points the same place
