NG+ All Brushes

Rules

• Must start game from a fresh NG+ file.
• Run must be single segment.
• Only IGT (in game time) is counted for leaderboards.
  • For timers, runners usually begin time at the first cutscene and end time when Yami dies.
• These routes are based on the KT glitch and therefore are only possible on PS2, PS3, and Wii versions of the game.

File Setup

A NG+ file is setup after beating the game and choosing to save. In order to optimize menu-ing in the route, the following items are recommended to have at the end of the game:

• At least 1 Karmic Transformer (Preferably all 9)
• All 100 stray beads and thus the String of Beads
• Peace Bell
• One other extra Holy Artifact
• 4 Meat feedbags
• 1 Fish feedbag
• At least 54 large exorcism slips (more is always better)
• Gold dusted eighth wonder
• Gold dusted resurrection beads
• At least 83 Demon Fangs

All other sell-able items should be sold before completing the game to speed up menu-ing.

In addition, it is recommended to set up a new file after completing the run once, tripping up at any brush learning as often as possible. This will guarantee that all cutscenes are able to be skipped.
