Dragon’s Dogma 2 New Game Plus: What carries over and what you lose

Don't call it comeback!

Like any good RPG, when the game is over, it is never really over. As soon as you take the Arisen through the final throws of the main storyline, the option to begin a New Game+ will pop up. However, after your hours of playing, collecting, and hoarding in Dragon’s Dogma 2, what will carry over, and what will be lost forever in NG+?

What carries over to NG+ in Dragon’s Dogma 2

Thankfully, when you begin your new journey with your old Arisen in Dragon’s Dogma 2, you get to keep almost everything. The items your Pawn is carrying are also kept. So, all that hard work and searching isn’t for naught.

If you’re worried about starting a new game plus and losing all that hard-earned gear, don’t fear. You can go back to the starting missions geared up the eyeballs, ready to one-shot ogres. Here are the things you will be able to keep when you start not-so-fresh.

  • Most importantly, Equipment and Weapons with all upgrades
  • Gold, Rift Crystals, and DCP
  • Levels and XP
  • Appearance, obviously
  • Progress with your various Vocations
  • Augments and Skills
  • Materials, Curatives, Implements, and some Valuables apart from Missions specific ones
  • Empowered Godsbane Blade
  • Placed Portcrystals will be returned
  • Progress with Seekers Tokens
  • Pawns knowledge from across the rift
  • Special map markings such as the ones left by Forager and placed ones
  • A fully revealed Map

As you can see, almost everything is retained when you decide to embark on a new game plus in Dragon’s Dogma 2. You will be fully equipped with knowledge, progress and gear. I think this is a real push to go at the game again, knowing you don’t have to explore and grind for all the best bits. It gives you a lot more freedom to really dig into the corners and options you may have missed the first time through. However, some things will be lost.

What you lose in Dragon’s Dogma 2 New Game Plus

You can’t keep everything. Some items would be game-breaking if you had them from the very beginning, and we can’t have you teleport all the way across the map immediately. Here is what you will not keep.

  • Key quest items like keys, notes, etc
  • Teleport Portcrystal locations
  • Character affinity progression, you’re going to have to woo them all again
  • Quest progression

New game plus in Dragon’s Dogma 2 is a fantastic way to get another perspective on this wonderfully rich and detailed game. There is no way you can see everything the game has to offer in one playthrough. maybe this time, you could try romancing Captain Brant before throwing him from a bridge as a jealous lover?
