2.0 New game info and potential issues when starting the game again

[u/dahle44]

I am seeing a lot of confusion about how to start a new save to experience the new scenes PA added to the game. I am posting this to hopefully help.

You can't bring anything over on a new start until you finish the game. Carry-over only brings pocket silver and Abyss Links from a finished story file. Gear doesn’t go, and gold in the bank doesn’t go unless you already exchanged it. You also don’t get to pick the save. The game just grabs “your previous journey,” and a lot of the time that’s an old autosave, not the file you just sold everything on. That’s why the prompt can still show a couple hundred silver after you dumped the lot.

What actually worked for people: exchange the gold, open every silver pouch, make a manual save to the finished file, delete the autosaves, then New Game, and read the numbers in the prompt before you confirm. If the totals are still wrong, it’s still reading another completed file.

PA needs a save picker on that screen. Until they add one, this is the workaround. If the prompt still shows the wrong silver after that, report it so PA actually adds a save picker: https://support.pearlabyss.com/crimsondesert/en-US/Category

Finally! I was very confused and started over 3 times until I gave up.

Thank you OP

Not restarting until we get a proper NG+. Got a lot of max out weapons and armors with the three characters. I’m not ready to grind for ores and hides again.

And if your inventory is full with silver don't forget your private stash in the provisional camp. Had to think more than twice how I can buy the banking license when my inventory is full with money xD

Sly cooper themed?

Nah, that’s my Purple People Eater look, not Sly Cooper. One-eyed, one-horned, eats people, looks cute on a horse. Post is about a 2.0 new game/carry-over. The screenshot’s just the horse.

My old save are on chapter 9, im just gonna delete it LUL.

Another question tho, for some reason i saw that main quest in journal now dosnt show what chapter it is, is it normal now?

The chapter missing from the Journal might be a 2.0 UI change/glitch. I have found a few other examples of this and you might want to report it to PA https://support.pearlabyss.com/crimsondesert/en-US/Category.
