New Game Plus (NG+) in Noita is unlocked after collecting the Sampo and bringing it to the altar on The Floating Island with a specific number of Orbs of True Knowledge. The requirement for Orbs of True Knowledge increases with each subsequent NG+ level, starting at 5 orbs for the first level.

• NG+ Level 1 requires 5-10 Orbs.
• NG+ Level 2 requires 6-10 Orbs.
• NG+ Level 3 requires 7-10 Orbs.
• NG+ Level 4 requires 8-10 Orbs.
• NG+ Level 5 requires 9-10 Orbs.
• NG+ Level 6 requires 10 Orbs.
• NG+ Level 7 requires 12 Orbs.
• NG+ Level 28 requires 32 Orbs.
• The maximum NG+ level is 28, as 33 or more orbs are needed for The Peaceful Ending.
