After beating Mortal Shell 2's final boss, players can trigger a New Game Plus playthrough by visiting the Gloom Siphon in Marrow Keep and selecting Send Ova. While dungeons, beacons, and corrupted gates are reset in NG+, almost everything else carries over. This makes Mortal Shell 2's New Game+ a great opportunity for players who want to continue improving their builds, and you'll need to complete at least one additional playthrough to reach 100% completion.

Mortal Shell 2 New Game Plus Guide – What Carries Over?

The New Game Plus pop up in Mortal Shell 2.

Here's a list of what carries over to NG+:

  • All revealed map areas, though map markers are reset.
  • All character progress, including level and shell points.
  • All unlocked Shells and memories.
  • All inventory items, including seals, materials, and keys as well as permanent pickups, weapons, and sidearms with any upgrades that have been made.
  • All Tarstones with upgrades.
  • All current currencies, including Glimpse, Gloom, and gold.
  • One unlocked beacon in Fainweald and one in Mammon.
  • All unlocked Mether's Pulse upgrades.
  • All unlocked Tarforge upgrades.
  • Fast travel.
  • Any Shells that have been summoned in gates.

What Doesn't Carry Over to NG+?

The map after starting an NG+ playthrough in Mortal Shell 2.

Here's a list of what doesn't carry over to NG+:

  • Map markers, expect for the aforementioned beacons that start unlocked.
  • Cleared dungeons and gates. You can clear them again for additional rewards.
  • Unlocked and cleansed beacons.
  • Quest progress.
  • Ovum count.

Do Revered Glands, Synaptic Vessels, and Permanent Pickups Respawn in NG+?

Yes, Revered Glands, Synaptic Vessels, and permanent pickups that you collect during your first playthrough will reappear in New Game Plus. This makes it easy to continue upgrading your Mether's Pulse and permanent pickup items if you haven't already maxed them out, which is a great reason to pursue an NG+ playthrough.

Do Weapons, Sidearms, and Tarstones Respawn in NG+?

No, the weapons, sidearms, and Tarstones that you collect during your first playthrough do not respawn in NG+, and are instead replaced with upgrade materials. Weapons, sidearms, and Tarstones do carry over into NG+, though, and there is no real need to have them in multiples.

Which Achievements Require NG+?

There is one achievement that requires engaging with New Game Plus: Seeking the Past. This achievement is earned by watching all Shell memories, and it requires more Glimpses than you can get in a single playthrough. In fact, the earliest you can earn Seeking the Past is NG++, and it is likely to be the last one most players receive before reaching 100%.

Why Play NG+?

There are several reasons you might want to pursue an NG+ playthrough of Mortal Shell 2:

  • It provides an additional challenge.
  • It gives you the opportunity to continue leveling up as well as to keep improving your Shells, weapons, sidearms, Tarstones, permanent pickups, and Mether's Pulse.
  • It is required to earn the Seeking the Past achievement for 100% completion.
