How To Avoid Ng+ Elden Ring
In Elden Ring, entering New Game Plus (NG+) is completely optional and not automatic—you have full control over whether and when to begin it. Here’s how to avoid NG+:
🛑 How to Avoid New Game Plus (NG+)
- Don’t select “Begin Journey 2” at the end of the game.
- After defeating the final boss (Elden Beast), the game will show the ending cutscene.
- Then, you’ll return to Roundtable Hold with a new prompt at the Site of Grace.
- You’ll see an option:
✅ “Begin Journey 2”
❌ “Do Not Begin Yet”
- Choose “Do Not Begin Yet.”
- This keeps you in your current game (NG).
- You can continue exploring the open world, completing quests, clearing dungeons, and collecting items.
- There is no time limit—you can begin NG+ whenever you want from this point.
🧠 Useful Notes
- The prompt to enter NG+ will always be available at Roundtable Hold’s Site of Grace once you’ve beaten the final boss.
- You can still complete any areas or quests you missed, like:
- Haligtree / Miquella’s Tree
- Mohgwyn Palace
- Volcano Manor
- Deep Root Depths
- Side quests (Ranni, Fia, Millicent, etc.)
📌 Summary
To avoid NG+ in Elden Ring, simply select “Do Not Begin Yet” after finishing the game. You can stay in your current game indefinitely and keep playing.
