What is Elden Ring NG+?
The New Game Plus is a mode (similar to Dark Souls), which allows you to play the game right from the beginning once you have completed it. Now, this isn’t it. Not only do you get to replay the game, but you get to play again with all the gears, levels, and items you have collected in the first run!
So, the NG+ mode makes the second round of the game better and harder. The enemies & bosses too become much more dangerous. By defeating these enemies, you get better runes as rewards.

Because many of the goods are related to ignorable tasks that overlap, playing on NG+ can be a wonderful method to unlock them. We won’t give anything away here, but you should know that unlocking everything in the game will take several playthroughs.
In the Souls game, the enemies keep getting harder to defeat and the modes go way past just NG+ (NG+7 and even above that!). The farther you go; the more runes you get. This is also expected of Elden Ring as well.
How To Get Into NG+ ?
- Once you have reached the last stage of the game, defeat the final boss and the, go past the credits.
- There you will get the option to continue the current game.
- If you want to start a new round of New Game Plus, go to Roundtable Hold at the Site of Grace, you will see the option “Begin Journey 2”.
- Choosing that option will lead you to NG+ mode.

The NG+ mode comes with a few changes that you should know of.
- The gameplay definitely becomes a bit harder although the story line remains the same.
- The enemies become stronger, better with more health and damaging capabilities.
- The Runes you receive from defeating these enemies are also HUGE (almost as much as 500% or above).
