Beating the game for the first time will unlock new modes. A bat will appear next to your save file which you can select to start a new game. Everything carries over except the following:
- Glyphs: Magnes, Paries, Volaticus, Redire, Dextro Custos, Sinestro Custos, Arma Custos, Dominus Hatred, Dominus Anger, Dominus Agony
- Relics: Ordinary Rock, Serpent Scale
- Rescued villagers and quest progress
Hard Mode
When creating a new game, hard mode difficulty can be selected. You can pick a level cap of either 1 or 50. Enemies have higher stats and are placed in additional areas. Beating the game with a level cap of 1 unlocks level cap of 255 allowing you to further max your character.
Albus Mode
When creating a new game on a different save file, Albus can be selected instead of Shanoa. Albus mode is similar to a normal play through except playing as Albus. The menu is not accessible so Albus can not change equipment, glyphs, or relics. Breakable objects will always drop hearts. Albus can collect HP Max up, MP Max up, and HEART Max up. Albus levels up by gaining experience from kills. Albus starts in Wygol Village instead of Ecclesia and there are no villagers to rescue.
