Hi, i have a question, i'm playing elden ring for the first time, i want to finish all original game bosses before entering the dlc, i'm afraid that i trigger the end and start a new game plus after defeating the last boss. where do you recommend me to stop.

@ultimate-venom-games 20 күн бұрын

@jadidmaroc4272 hi, no worries on starting ng+. When you beat the final boss and watch whatever ending you have earned through your journey, a question will pop up asking you if you want to start ng+ and you just select no and the game will spawn your character at the grace site just outside the tree, where you fought Horah Lou. Don't worry you can select ng+ at any time by resting at a grace site and selecting start new journey from the menu options. Once you finish the main game (all bosses), just fast travel back to Mohg's boss arena and walk up to the cocoon. Make sure you don't approach the cocoon until your ready to start the dlc so you don't accidentally select it.

I think I am on new game +3 in my current play through. Do we have to have beaten those bosses in our current play through? Or just have beaten those bosses at all in any play through? My assumption is that it’s in the current play through that matters, but just wanted to check in my current play through I have just finished with the Gideon fight so really close to the end. However, I rushed through this play through and only fought the necessary bosses to get here so I haven’t fought Radahn or Mohg yet.
