Volgarr the Viking II “Live and Let Die” update announced (version 1.1), patch notes

Volgarr the Viking II launched not too long ago, and it’s soon coming out with its first big update known as “Live and Let Die”, or version 1.1.

Undead Mode is seeing a revamp and a new checkpoint feature is being introduced. Things also wouldn’t be complete without some bug fixes.

Here’s the full rundown:

Volgarr the Viking II Live and Let Die update version 1.1 patch notes

Major Features:

 

Revamp to Undead Mode

• Players now prompted for optional game assistance on the use of 6 “continues” and may now choose to not have semi-invulnerability turned on by default.
• Undead Mode can be toggled by Menu “Modifiers” for those who want help right away!
• Players have visual indicator that game assist is on from the color of the HUD.
  • GOLD = OFF / BONE WHITE = ON

New Checkpoint Feature

• Runestone Checkpoints will remember the latest equipment that you have when activating them. This does not include SPECIAL power-ups like Mjolnir and Emerald!
  • Pro Tip: Very useful for boss fight checkpoints.
• Crystals at the start of maps do not remember your gear. Should you die prior to securing a Runestone, you will lose everything. Even if you transition to the 2nd half of a world before finding a Runestone.

Bug Fixes:

• Death Pit improperly working in World 3-2 is now functioning correctly.
• Reduction in HUD size so that it does not take up so much screen space.
• Miscellaneous bug fixes unrelated to gameplay.

Volgarr the Viking II is up on the Switch eShop and the new update will be live on Switch next week. Access more coverage here.
