Beast of Reincarnation v1.1.0 Patch Adds Ruthless Difficulty and Auto-Pickup
Beast of Reincarnation update v1.1.0 introduces extreme difficulty modes, an auto-pickup setting, and extensive bug fixes for progression blocks and UI layouts. Players can now toggle Very Hard and Ruthless options on standard runs and Reincarnation+.
Beast of Reincarnation version 1.1.0 expands the challenge ceiling with new difficulty presets, adds quality-of-life adjustments like item auto-pickup, and resolves dozens of technical bugs across PC and Steam Deck.
New Difficulty Options
The patch introduces two new difficulty tiers. Very Hard provides an increased challenge beyond the standard Hard mode. Ruthless mode acts as a bonus challenge where Emma dies instantly from a single hit. Both options, alongside Hard mode, are now available for Reincarnation+. Reincarnation+ defaults to Normal difficulty, and players can change their difficulty setting at any point during gameplay.
Combat and Balance Adjustments
Attack patterns for select Nushi variants and Shidou have been overhauled. The update increases the difficulty of specific bosses and enemies that fell below intended thresholds, adjusts ranged weapon damage dealt to bosses, and tweaks the attack power of select Blade Arts Finishers and Bloom Arts.
Quality of Life Improvements
An auto-pickup feature for field items and enemy drops is now available. Players can toggle this option under the Gameplay tab in the settings menu. Dialogue pacing and scene timing have also been adjusted across multiple event cutscenes.
Technical Fixes and Stability
The update resolves multiple progression blocks and menu freezes. On Steam Deck, a loading delay issue when moving between specific areas that caused players to fall into the void is fixed. Other fixes address ultrawide UI layout issues on the Skill Tree screen, map screen bugs when using a mouse with a controller connected, and soft locks encountered when operating the bed menu on the Cleanse Walker.
Why this patch matters
Update v1.1.0 addresses major community pain points by introducing requested difficulty tiers, helpful quality-of-life toggles, and stability fixes for progression bugs.
