New Game+ Preparations

Prepare for your Project Windless New Game+ run. Strategize character builds and gather essential gear before facing tougher challenges.

Preparing for New Game+

Embarking on a New Game+ (NG+) playthrough in Project Windless offers a chance to relive the adventure with enhanced challenges and new opportunities. To make the most of your NG+ experience, thorough preparation during your initial playthrough is highly recommended. This involves maximizing your character's power, gathering essential resources, and understanding the changes that NG+ introduces.

During your first playthrough, focus on acquiring and upgrading your preferred weapons and armor. Aim to reach the maximum upgrade level for at least one or two powerful weapon types, such as the "Dragonfang Greatsword" or the "Shadow Weaver's Bow." Collecting a significant amount of "Titanite Shards" and "Titanite Chunks" will be invaluable for this. Furthermore, ensure you have unlocked and leveled up key abilities that complement your playstyle. For example, if you favor a melee build, investing in abilities like "Rage Strike" or "Defensive Stance" will be beneficial. Don't neglect passive buffs either; collecting all available "Essence of the Ancients" to permanently increase your stats is a wise investment.

Beyond character progression, resource management is critical for NG+. Stockpile consumable items like "Health Potions," "Stamina Potions," and any rare crafting materials you encounter. These will be crucial for surviving the increased difficulty of NG+ enemies, who often have higher HP pools and deal more damage. Consider completing all side quests and optional dungeons to ensure you have a comprehensive understanding of the game world and its mechanics. This will also grant you access to powerful gear and unique items that can be carried over. In NG+, enemies are typically scaled up by approximately 30% in terms of HP and damage. Some boss encounters may also feature new attack patterns or phases. Planning your NG+ build and strategy beforehand will significantly smooth your transition into this more demanding mode.
