Learn about the increased enemy stats and multipliers in Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria's New Game Plus difficulty, including details on HP, ATK, MAG, and more.
After defeating the final boss, the game concludes. Do not turn off your PlayStation 2; instead, select 'New Game' to automatically start on a harder difficulty. Saving in this New Game will add a small yellow star to your save file. The Seraphic Gate will also be accessible from the World Map at the start of the game, though only Sound Mode can be explored initially. Additionally, holding L1 during a battle will play the original Valkyrie Profile's battle music, while holding L2 will play a random track.
New Game Plus Difficulty
Enemies become significantly stronger due to increased stats. The stat multiplier increases with each subsequent playthrough:
- 1st Clear: HP*1.2, ATK*1.5, MAG*1.5, HIT*1.2, AVD*1.2, RDM*1.2, RST*1.2
- 2nd Clear: HP*1.5, ATK*2, MAG*2, HIT*1.3, AVD*1.3, RDM*1.3, RST*1.3
- 3rd Clear: HP*1.8, ATK*2.5, MAG*2.5, HIT*1.4, AVD*1.3, RDM*1.3, RST*1.3
- 4th Clear: HP*2.1, ATK*3, MAG*3, HIT*1.5, AVD*1.3, RDM*1.3, RST*1.3
- 5th Clear: HP*2.4, ATK*3.5, MAG*3.5, HIT*1.6, AVD*1.3, RDM*1.3, RST*1.3
- ...
- 50th Clear: HP*15.9, ATK*26, MAG*26, HIT*6.1, AVD*1.3, RDM*1.3, RST*1.3
Note that the multipliers for AVD, RDM, and RST remain at 1.3 from the 2nd clear onwards. HIT increases by 0.1 each time, HP by 0.3, and ATK and MAG by 0.5 with each clear.
For enemy Leaders, Singular enemies, or Boss enemies, their HP is further doubled from the 1st clear onwards, compared to the standard 1.2 multiplier in the first playthrough. The time enemies are unable to act is standard for the 1st clear and reduced by 0.5 seconds for the 2nd clear; there are no further changes from the 3rd to 50th clear.
With each clear of the main game, a small Magic Crystal is added to the Title Screen. A larger crystal appears after accumulating 10 smaller crystals (10 clears).
The formula for calculating enemy stats is:
(Enemy's Standard/1st Playthrough Stats * Stat Multiplier Based On Main Game Clears * Stat Multiplier Based On Seraphic Gate Clears)
For Leader/Singular/Boss enemies, their HP is further doubled from the result of the above formula. This also affects Seraphic Gate difficulty.

Equip weapons like Dragon Slayer Modified, Bahamut Tear, Splitting Sword Farewell, and Valkyrie Favor for high damage. Skills such as Toughness and First Aid are recommended. Equip accessories like the Heal Ring or Metabolizer. Combining Life Spirit's Protection, First Aid, and Heal Ring/Metabolizer can make you nearly invincible. Ensure high Flame Resistance for further defense. Heal when necessary, and utilize items due to Dirna Hamilton's high HP.
