Learn about New Game Plus multipliers and all 22 achievements in Rogue Legacy 2, including Biophobia and Decidophobia.
About New Game +
New Game Plus, abbreviated as NG+, is a mechanic in many games where the game becomes harder but usually offers higher rewards. In Rogue Legacy 2, NG+ affects the game in the following ways:
- Increases the tier of an enemy for every NG+. A previously tier 1 enemy will now be tier 2. Cannot go past tier 3, or NG+2.
- +50% gold coin multiplier, making a base coin worth 15 instead of 10. Each NG+ will add another 50%.
- Ability to get higher tier equipment. In the base game, you can get up to Imperial tier items. NG+1 allows you to get all other equipment, but NG+2 makes the final tier be easier to find. On NG+1, the only way to get Dark tier equipment is from miniboss and circus chests in the Darkness.
- More gold and gold drops. An enemy in the first room of NG+ could drop an equal amount to one of the Darkness in the base game. This makes the first rooms often have diamonds, leading to more gold in shorter time.
If you have advanced to a high NG+, it is possible you have no chance of receiving a low tier item. For this, use Grace runes, which will make enemies easier and decrease your rewards, enabling the low tier items again.

Tips
- If you are barely completing the dungeon before dying, you should consider doing it a few more times to be a little stronger. Staying in an easy difficulty with no challenge provides nothing but boredom.
- The difficulty spike in between the base game and NG+ is not much if you are geared well, but even with a maxed out manor, the difficulty spike with NG++ is significantly bigger and harder.
- If you wish to remain in a lower difficulty, you should attempt to use some Curse runes to practice for the higher difficulties, and keep the game fresh. The same can be said if you are in a higher difficulty and having a hard time with it. Use Grace runes, which will still make you encounter tougher enemies, but towards the end. Be sure not to exaggerate on them however, or you will end up with what you were trying to avoid in the first place.
- If you have advanced to a high NG+, it is possible you have no chance of receiving a low tier item. For this, use Grace runes, which will make enemies easier and decrease your rewards, enabling the low tier items again.
