Tales of Arise How to Carry Over All Progress into New Game+ Plus

In Tales of Arise, you can’t carry over all of your progress and statistics into New Game+ by default. There is a secret way to do it, however. It requires a bit of preparation in the first playthrough.

The gist of it is this:

1. You need to find the 32 Owls during your first playthrough and return them to the Owl King in Owl Forest.
2. Then the last 6 Owls spawn.
3. These last 6 Owls each unlock an Artifact that allows you to carry over specific statistics and progress into New Game+, that you otherwise wouldn’t be able to carry over.
4. After finding the last 6 Owls, return to the Owl King once more and he’ll give you a 7th Artifact that carries over your Outfits into New Game+.

Here’s the most important part: Owl #26 “Butterfly Wings” is missable! In the 4th Realm Mahag Saar you will go on a cruise ship. The owl is found on that ship. You only go there once for the story. After defeating the 4th Lord the ship will sink and you can never return to it, thus locking you out of completing the set of 32 owls. Then the last 6 owls that give the New Game+ Artifacts would be unobtainable as well.

Owls #33-#38 unlock the following Artifacts with the following Effects:

• Battle Maiden’s Shield – Carry Over Equipment to New Game+
• Vivid Sphere – Carry Over Statistics to New Game+
• Broken Machine Gun – Carry Over Money and Items into New Game+
• Ancient Excavator – Carry Over Character Levels into New Game+
• Metal Miner’s Cap – Carry Over Arte Proficiencies into New Game+
• Trident – Carry Over Skills into New Game+
• Machine Beast Statue – Carry Over Outfits into New Game+ (Reward for returning all 38 Owls to Owl King)

After having obtained all the Owls and their Artifacts, you must have finished the main story and create a Manual Save Game, so that it shows a star icon on your save file. The star confirms that the save is from after beating the story. Now go to the title screen and select New Game+, choose your manual save, and then on the next screen you can activate the artifacts to carry over your progress & statistics into the next playthrough.
