9 Video Game Secrets Hidden In New Game Plus

2. Ancient Cave - Lufia II: Rise Of The Sinistrals

Lufia II is a 1995 role-playing game developed by Neverland for the Super NES. If you’re doing the maths on this one and realised the game came out a little before Chrono Trigger so it can’t technically have a specifically titled ‘New Game Plus’ mode. Look, you’re right. But the game does have a retry mode where you’ll run through the game again with 4x experience and currency.

If that sounds like a pretty boring secret that’s because that’s not what we’re here to focus on, it gets better.

Drop back in for your second round of New Game Plus and the game that was Lufia II is replaced with an area that you can encounter in the main game called Ancient Cave. This whole third run-through of the game just drops you into this dungeon that consists of 99 randomly generated floors. All you can do is descend, gear up, loot powerful weapons, and try to survive.

By all accounts the enemy variety and complexity of the area makes it even better than the main game so not a NG+ mode to turn your nose up at.
