Lords of the Fallen: New Game + Guide

Learn how New Game Plus works in Lords of the Fallen (2023). Discover changes to vestiges, enemy difficulty, and upcoming modifier systems to prepare for your next playthrough.

So, you've beaten the game and are ready for more? That's awesome! Lords of the Fallen's New Game Plus, or NG+, is designed to give you a fresh challenge while letting you keep all that hard-earned progress. Think of it as a victory lap with tougher enemies and some tweaks to make things interesting.

Here's the lowdown on how NG+ works, especially after the October 24, 2023 patch:

• Starting NG+: Once you've seen one of the game's endings, you'll get the option to jump into NG+ right from the Skyrest Hub Vestige.
• NG+ 0: This is your chill run. All your NPC and main story choices reset, but your character's level and all your gear stay exactly as they were. It's perfect if you missed some side quests or want to explore different endings without starting from scratch.
• New Game Plus 1: Things start heating up here. Some of the smaller vestiges you relied on will be gone, and the enemies will hit harder.
• NG+ 2: They're removing even more vestiges, so you'll have to plan your routes carefully with fewer safe havens.
• NG+ 3: This is the hardcore mode as it originally was. All vestiges disappear, except for the main ones at Skyrest Bridge and Adyr Shrine. You'll be relying on those two spots only.

But wait, there's more! Hexworks is planning a New Game Plus Modifiers System, expected before the end of 2023. This is where you'll really get to customize your challenge. Imagine tweaking things like:

• How many vestiges get turned off.
• Activating a 'hardcore mode' for an even tougher experience.
• Randomizing item drops.
• Randomizing enemy spawns.
• And other cool challenge options to keep things fresh.

It's all about giving you more ways to replay the world of Mournstead and test your skills. Keep an eye out for that modifier system – it sounds like it's going to add a ton of replayability for those who want the ultimate challenge!
