Beast of Reincarnation version 1.0.11 focuses on making its story scenes easier to move through. Select event scenes and cutscenes up to the Great Wall Terraces zone can now be skipped, while dialogue pauses and scene lengths have been adjusted to improve pacing. Version 1.0.11 follows the previous v1.0.10 patch, which covered the previous v1.0.10 patch’s SP, Amber, visual, combat, and bug-fix changes.

The patch also makes Emma and Koo’s alternative skins and cosmetic items visible during cutscenes. Several settings previously limited to PC are now available on other platforms, including options to disable Film Grain, Chromatic Aberration, and cutscene Post-Processing.

The official Steam announcement identifies version 1.0.11 as the game’s fifth patch. It follows version 1.0.10, which added new SP and Amber sources along with visual and combat changes.

Beast of Reincarnation v1.0.11 Patch Notes

Story presentation leads the update, but the patch also covers skill resets, resource placement, ranged weapon input, combat balance, GPU-based upscaling defaults, and fixes affecting Koo, charms, ultrawide resolutions, event scenes, and collision.

Ongoing improvements to cutscene playback and pacing:
- Increased the number of skippable event scenes and cutscenes.
  - Select event scenes and cutscenes up to the Great Wall Terraces zone can now be skipped.
  - Note: we are continuing to implement skippable cutscenes throughout the game and anticipate that this work will be complete soon.
- Adjusted dialogue pauses and cut lengths during certain event scenes to improve overall pacing.
  - Note: we will continue to make adjustments to improve pacing moving forward.
- Adjusted playback conditions for certain event scenes and cutscenes.
  - Note: due to these playback adjustments, players currently mid-playthrough may experience a very small number of event dialogue lines playing twice.
- Enabled Emma and Koo’s alternative skins and cosmetic items to be visible during cutscenes.
Made the options to disable Film Grain and Chromatic Aberration available on non-PC platforms.
Made the option to disable Post-Processing in cutscenes available on non-PC platforms.
Enabled the ability to reset skills tied to the flower nodes of the skill tree.
Placed additional “Blighted Sprouts” that yield SP.
Enemy attacks now cancel upon initiating revival via Regeneration.
Enabled input buffering for aiming ranged weapons during various actions.
Adjusted the power of Magic Bullet skills after they penetrate enemies.
Adjusted various parameters for Blade Arts, Finishers, Nushi Skills, and ranged weapons.
Adjusted attack patterns and attack frequencies for certain Nushi.
Re-enabled acid pool generation exclusively for specific attacks from Corvus.
Adjusted the placement of “Breakable Amber” nodes in select areas.
Reorganized upscaling options (DLSS, etc.) to ensure appropriate default settings are applied based on the detected GPU.
Miscellaneous bug fixes and technical improvements:
- Fixed an issue where Koo would detect items/objects that had already been interacted with or collected.
- Fixed an issue where the numerical value associated with Koo’s Pounce Rate was not displayed.
- Fixed an issue where hitstun duration was increased when taking damage while aiming a ranged weapon.
- Fixed an issue where “Decayed Charms” were capped at a maximum of 99, causing identified charms to be automatically converted into money if they exceeded this limit after appraisal.
  - Please note that for players who have already encountered this issue prior to this fix, we are unfortunately unable to restore the lost charms even after the patch is applied. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused to those who inadvertently lost their charms. We deeply appreciate your understanding and cooperation in this matter.

- Fixed areas where visible terrain features did not match invisible wall collision behavior.
