Mortal Shell II New Game+ Guide
Mortal Shell II includes a New Game+ mode — confirmed by the community wiki’s separate NG+ page. Full mechanics are confirmed at launch.
What we expect to carry over (community consensus)
- Unlocked Shells remain available
- Weapon upgrades and Tarstones persist (subject to developer design)
- Inventory items carry over, with some progression keys reset
- Boss difficulty scales up, with new attack patterns added in NG+
What resets
- Story progression (beacons re-lock, regions restore)
- Enemy placement returns to NG state — expect positioning changes
- Sidearm and Shell locations reset, so you can re-collect duplicates
Why play NG+?
- Full 8 Shells + all Sidearms playthroughs feel different with complete kits
- NG+-only rewards (weapon tiers, exclusive Tarstones) are commonly hinted in such designs
- Achievement hunters may need an NG+ run for 100% completion in the original pattern
Preparation before NG+
- Complete every optional boss
- Max out your primary weapon upgrades
- Stock consumables — vendors won’t be available early in NG+
- Decide your NG+ Shell main early (Eredrim tank or Proxima offense are the common pivots)
Official confirmation
We’ll update this page with the confirmed carry-over list within hours of launch on August 20, 2026.
