Monster Sanctuary – How Do NG+ Works?

A lot of people on discord have asked what New Game Plus does. I made this guide to help other players understand how NG+ functions, and to relieve unnecessary stress.

If you are still going through your first run, be aware that this guide contains some minor spoilers.

What Makes NG+ Special

With NG+, du kannst:

• Play through the story again.
• Earn Champion rewards a second time. Your highest score for each Champion remains on record.
• Receive once per run rewards again.
• Try out master difficultly.
• Receive another set of Spectral Familiars. In Eternity’s End, your chosen familiar gives an Infinity Flame and its egg. In a normal save, your familiar does not drop an egg.

Before starting a NG+, be aware that:

• Map progress is lost
• Keeper rank is reset
• Monster Army is cleared
• Chests are reset

An NG+ can be saved on another slot, so you don’t have to worry! You can change your character’s name before starting an NG+. Upon starting a NG+, you are prompted to choose a Spectral Familiar. If you choose a Spectral Familiar you already have, you will not receive a duplicate.

Wenn Sie möchten, you can play NG+ as many times as you like.

Explore Abilities

You cannot use certain Explore Abilities until you encounter a monster that has it. (Beispiel: encountered a Silvaero. You can now use any monster you own with Improved Flying)

Due to the Spectral Familiars having Tackle (Kröte), Krallen (Wolf, Löwe), and Flying (Adler), these are instantly available upon beginning an NG+.
