I was using the weird bug that makes the second to last bosses toothwheel bag refresh when you leave and enter the area to farm the toothwheels to set up a stacked NG+ file. I got mostly everything and was gonna continue to do it today but the game autopatched because stoopid me left my PC on.

I have basically everything for NG+ runs besides a weapon and armour, just thought I would see if it was possible to downpatch not only for my sake but for future NG+ runners since it is a simple way to set up a NG+ file with all unlocks.

If anyone can figure it out and share it here for everyone it would save a massive grind for unlocks and it would end up being healthy for the category once it is made since everyone can start with even NG+ files as well.

If the downpatch can't be done then NG+ will probably need some discussion on rules or maybe there is already a better method for farming toothwheels?

I am not yet an official runner for this game just sharing some thoughts I had, so take this all with a grain of salt. Just wanted to open the discussion and maybe get the ball rolling on an NG+ category discussion and see what can or can't be done. :)

Ng+ seems to be a tricky subject, it turns out that the difficulty increases with every playthrough you do. I'm hoping that at a certain point it'll cap out and you can playthrough it again without the difficulty increasing. I think that having a save file available with all unlocks and max difficulty available to distribute to others would help people get into it, but I wouldn't worry about it for now I'm not gonna be accepting any runs until I gather enough knowledge about what this new update is capable of and to wait for any updates that may drastically change the run itself. I hope this helps explain things

Difficulty cap is set to +9 as of today.
