FEZ New Game Plus guide: first-person view and 64-cube cleanup
Continue FEZ after the first ending and organize the remaining anti-cube search.
Edition covered
The original FEZ, released in 2012 and brought to PC in 2013. Pictures are the PC publisher’s Steam captures. Controller symbols and vibration-dependent clues vary with the input device.
See the first ending before restarting
After reaching the ending, choose New Game Plus. The mode continues the collection journey with retained discoveries, so the second pass is a cleanup opportunity rather than a blank start.
| Feature | First run | New Game Plus |
|---|---|---|
| Collection | Build the initial total | Previously found items remain collected |
| Main ending | Reach the 32-cube threshold | Can revisit the ending path |
| First-person view | Not initially available | Granted through the opening progression |
| Secret cleanup | Some clues remain difficult to inspect | Extra viewpoint helps resolve them |
| 64-cube goal | Can work toward it | Main focus of a full cleanup pass |
Receive the extra viewpoint
New Game Plus grants sunglasses and a first-person view during the opening progression. Use it to inspect details that a normal side view hides.
| Cleanup task | Where to begin | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Missing ordinary bits | Unfinished exploration rooms | Often a hidden face or branch |
| Missing anti-cube | Rooms marked with secrets | A puzzle is still unresolved |
| Floor symbol unreadable | Use first-person inspection | Changes the view of the surface |
| Ending still familiar | Check the combined cube total | The fuller route needs 64 |
| Optional heart mystery | Track separately from cubes | It is not another ordinary cube type |
Sweep unfinished map rooms
Start with rooms whose icons show a remaining secret. Bring the new viewpoint and the symbol knowledge from the first journey to each room instead of randomly revisiting every branch.
Return with all 64 main cubes
Once the 32 golden cubes and 32 anti-cubes are collected, revisit the ending route for its fuller version. Optional red-heart mysteries are a separate challenge.
Finish the first ending when ready; New Game Plus is part of FEZ’s intended exploration loop.
