The Thing 2 RPG *Spoiler Free* NewGame+ Item Locations Guide.

By completing certain game modes, exploring, finding secrets and beating high difficulties you will unlock special Relic Equipment and Weapons. You can check the guides on this site for what to unlock or find in each mode but this guide details the locations of the unlocked relics when playing a NewGame+ game (so you don’t have to go through the effort of finding them all again). It also details what modes they can be found in and hints to where they are.
