Before they move over to NG+, players should make sure they have finished some things first, like using the Clouded Mirror Stand in Roundtable Hold to design a new character or collect the desired items and armors to start the new Elden Ring journey in style.

Updated on September 23, 2024, by Nahda Nabiilah: In the vast world of Elden Ring, Tarnished can collect certain items and still use them once they go into New Game Plus. The same case applies to the Shadow Land, which is part of the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. It’s important to know which items move to NG+ as it will be a waste to go around the map and collect materials that will disappear. Luckily for players who prefer crafting, most of the necessary items will stay in the inventory after going to NG+.

19 Find All Celestial Dew

Carry Out Absolution

Celestial Dew is a consumable item that allows players to carry out an Absolution at the Church of Vows in Elden Ring. Basically, if you ever made an NPC hostile by mistake or on purpose, you can reverse this effect by using a Celestial Dew at the Church of Vows in Liurnia of the Lakes.

18 Collect All Prayerbooks And Scrolls

Master Powerful Spells And Incantations

There are eight Prayerbooks scattered around the world of Elden Ring, and Tarnished should collect them before starting a new journey:

Other than that, there are also three magic Scrolls:

17 Collect All The Dragon Hearts

Unlock Powerful Incantations

Killing dragons in Elden Ring rewards Tarnished with Dragon Hearts, and each dragon drops a certain number of hearts. For example, the Flying Dragon Agheel drops one heart, while the Sleeping Dragon drops five. These Key Items are used to purchase special Incantations from Dragon Communion.

Even if players don’t use any Incarnations, it’s better to buy them all, as it’s possible to play in another build in the next playthrough. People can easily use the rebirth option after fighting Rennala, the Queen of the Full Moon, and change the character’s stat.

16 Obtain All Larval Tears

Gain The Ability To Respec

Larval Tears are important Key Items that can be obtained through various methods in Elden Ring. After defeating Rennala in Raya Lucaria Academy, she’ll offer players the chance to respec in exchange for one Larval Tear per rebirth. It is highly crucial that Tarnished collect all the tears, even if they don’t plan on utilizing Rennala’s Great Rune.

Most of the Larval Tears can be found in Liurnia of the Lakes or Nokron, the Eternal City. Keep in mind that Tarnished need to kill Starscourge Radahn to reach the hidden city, by progressing through Ranni’s quest or exploring Redmane Castle.

15 Collect All Stonesword Keys

Use Stonesword Keys To Access Hidden Areas

Stonesword Keys are used to unlock Imp Statue seals. The important thing to note here is that this Key Item stays in the players’ inventory even if they start the NG+. So, Tarnished should collect them all, as unattained keys will be lost once people start a new journey.

Stonesword Keys are either purchased or looted from a corpse in various locations in Elden Ring. Purchasing this Key Item can be either done at the Roundtable Hold (Twin Maiden Husks), or from merchants encountered while exploring.

14 Collect Spirit Ashes

Summon An Ally To Help In Battles

Spirit Ashes are a type of summon where players use FP/HP to summon creatures from another realm to aid them in battles. While exploring the Lands Between, you can’t summon Spirit Ashes whenever you want. Instead, Tarnished must wait for the summon sign to appear to call forth some spirits.

Although it’s necessary to collect all Spirit Ashes, make sure to at least obtain the following summons as they are considered legendary:

13 Cracked Pot

Craft A Powerful Throwable Item

Cracked Pot is a throwable item used to deal damage or inflict a certain state from a distance. The more Cracked Pots you collect, the more you can craft to use. Consuming one of them means players need to craft another one to re-use it. Crafting different pots is possible by obtaining Cookbooks recipes. While exploring the Lands Between, you can pick up 20 Cracked Pots that will stay with you upon starting a new game.

12 Perfume Bottle

Catch Enemies Off Guard

Perfume Bottle has the same mechanics as Cracked Pots in terms of crafting and Cookbooks, but you do need to use them near the enemy for the best results. The idea of the Perfume Bottle is that you can only hold 10 and upon use, Tarnished will blow in the direction of the target to inflict a status effect.

11 Find All Cookbooks

Learn Different Kinds Of Recipes

Currently, there are over 50 Cookbooks that can be found in the Lands Between . These books allow players to craft very useful items to aid them in any Elden Ring boss fight. Here’s a full list of Cookbooks:

10 Offer Bell Bearings To Twin Maiden Husks

Expand Twin Maiden Husks Shop

Unfortunately, not all Bell Bearings will be available in the New Game+. The ones that belong to NPCs like Seulvis, Thops, and all Merchants can’t be found in NG+, players will need to recollect them. The only Bell Bearings that move to the new journey are:
