Beast of Reincarnation version 1.0.10 adds new ways to collect SP and Amber while giving PC players more control over several visual effects. The update also covers combat input, enemy reactions, boss encounters, collision problems, and a long list of bugs affecting Emma and Koo.

The announcement identifies the release as Patch 4. New Blight Sprouts now provide SP in every zone, while select areas contain Fractured Amber nodes. When the inventory is full, extra items can now be converted into Amber automatically instead of creating another small inventory headache.

Visual settings receive a few welcome switches as well. Players can toggle Film Grain and Chromatic Aberration, and cutscenes now have their own Post-Processing toggle. Ranged weapon aiming has also been changed to a hold input, with buffering added for several movement and attack actions.

The patch follows the earlier v1.0.9 coverage, which focused on requested PC features and combat changes. The full details for version 1.0.10 are available in the official Steam announcement.
