Shadow of the Erdtree , the hotly anticipated DLC for FromSoftware’s award-winning action RPG Elden Ring, is dropping on June 21. So if it’s a while since you’ve picked up 2022’s open world soulslike you might want to dive back in ahead of Shadow of the Erdtree to get reacclimated to the world, gameplay, and more. But do you want to start an entirely new game? Shadow of the Erdtree will reportedly have a unique leveling system that will keep players from over-leveling, so getting a refresher on the game’s tough combat might be a good idea.

Like the rest of FromSoftware’s titles, Elden Ring has a New Game+ feature, which might just be the perfect way for you to familiarize yourself with the Lands Between once more. But how do you actually start NG+, and what does it entail? That’s what we are here to tell you! As with NG+ in other games, the first requirement to use this feature is that you have to beat Elden Ring. That sounds simple enough, but this is a Souls game, so it’s not an easy feat, and it’s not a foregone conclusion that every player will have achieved it.



Once you have earned the title of Elden Lord and seen one of the game’s many endings you will be given two ways to begin NG+. After the credits roll, a text box will appear asking if you would like to “Begin Journey 2,” simply accept the prompt and you will be taken immediately into NG+.
