| Game update | Brimir Update (v1476) Brimir Update (v1476) 🪦 The Pilgrimage Monument Now Opens at the Place You Fall Everything bought with tokens is for the life that comes next — awakenings, marks, inheritance alike. Yet the Monument stood only in town, so at the very moment it mattered most — fallen, deciding what to leave behind — it was out of reach. Now the Pilgrimage Monument opens both on the death screen and on the scree… | — | |
| Game update | Brimir Update (v1445) Brimir Update (v1445) ⛏️ A Shorter Road to the Runes You Want In the canyons, the one you were hunting was always a single creature. Kill it, and waiting for it to appear again was most of what farming actually was. Now, in the Sundered Canyon , the ones that leave grade-5 runes stand two to a canyon — Hellfire Giant, Chimera, Blazing Elder Tree, Mutant, Frostbound Undead, Blood Wraith, Troll,… | — | |
| Game update | Brimir Update (v1434) Brimir Update (v1434) 🕯️ The Trail You Only Ever Piled Up — Now You Spend It Past its final tier, the Pilgrim's Trail did nothing no matter how high it climbed. The number just grew. Now, at the Pilgrim's Stone in the Sacred Grove, you can turn that trail into Pilgrim's Tokens and etch it onto the ones who walk with you. · A companion's Awakening — Etch a stage like Skadi's Frosty or Baldr's B… | — | |
| Game update | Brimir Update (v1424) Brimir Update (v1424) ❄️ Elemental Companions Pull Their Weight Skadi elemental affinity now applies properly to both basic attacks and rune abilities. Skadi, wrapped in frost, can reorder your party's damage ranking outright . · Skadi — Absolute Zero traded for cold stacks and cold affinity. Instead of freezing the first blow, she freezes you in place the longer she keeps hitting . · Lena — Fr… | — | |
| Game update | Brimir Update (v1411) Brimir Update (v1411) 🌊 The Sea Was Heavy We had reports of stuttering while sailing Floor 6, the Jade Sea, and went after it. In several places the game was redoing the same work over and over for no reason. · Entering a floor takes less than half as long · Frames hold steady while sailing · A bigger party no longer costs you frames · The combat log no longer stutters when it floods — lag bac… | — | |
| In-game event | Brimir Update (v1385) Brimir Update (v1385) 🫀 The Pericardium Opens — Beyond the Heart's Mouth The Ice Tomb and the Sword Grave — the two branches meet here. The Pericardium is unlike any floor before it. It is not land but a sea of fluid , and that sea runs on the Heart's beat, in two measures. · Diastole — the water draws back. Sail, and cross between the islands. · Systole — the Heart clenches. The current turns… | — | |
| Game update | Brimir Update (v1336) Brimir Update (v1336) 📖 The heart of this update — the pilgrimage now has a story Until now, climbing the Corpse-World had a destination but no story. This update lays down seven chapters of a pilgrim's record, from the Foot to the Heart's Threshold . Your Journey now names what to do on each stretch, and when you do it and return to town, you learn something you didn't know about that place .… | — | |
| Game update | Brimir Update (v1319) Brimir Update (v1319) ⌨️ The headline this time — you can put the mouse down Shops, the codex, confirmation dialogs — you can now move through items with the arrow keys and commit with Enter . Nothing is mouse-only anymore. The selection highlight appears the moment you press a direction key, and quietly disappears when you pick the mouse back up. Keep playing however you already play. · In the… | — | |
| Game update | Brimir Update (v1301) Brimir Update (v1301) · Glacier Giant — The glacier collapses overhead. Where it lands, the cold lingers — stand there and it will keep grinding you down. And the giant's grasp drags you in. · Frost Guardian — It pins your feet with a permafrost wall, then brings the shield straight down. The hoarfrost banner no longer shields him — now it hones his blade . 🆕 New Content / Additions · Four new… | — | |
| Game update | Brimir Update (v1283) Brimir Update (v1283) Everything that piled up since the last announcement, in one go. The headline is a complete overhaul of the rune icons , plus a pass over bugs that had been nagging for a while. 🎨 Over 500 rune icons, redrawn · Every rune active icon has been replaced with new artwork. They move from flat pictograms to a hand-painted look. · The hero's own rune icons were redrawn in the s… | — | |
| Game update | Brimir Update (v1241) Brimir Update 🆕 New Companion — Korbin · The raven warlock joins the pilgrimage. For those who have overcome the Incarnation of Dread three times, the raven comes for your name first. · Death Seed — Plant a seed in a foe and reap it when it ripens. The raven Huginn circling at your side hastens the harvest. · Gag Order — Silence a foe and cut their casting short. When to cut is your call. · Cu… | — | |
| Game update | Brimir Update (v1232) Brimir Update (v1232) The demo is open, and the early guidance has been shored up. We also went through the places where a description said one thing and the game did another. 🧭 The first climb · A level-up now says you can inscribe one more Rune. The Journey has a step for it too — the moment the four directions are done, you're told what just opened · Steps you can only do in town no longer… | — | |
| Game update | Brimir Update (v1133) Brimir Update (v1133) 🗺️ Yggdrasil's Ascent was running a different screen While you climbed the tower, the panel in the top-left was subtly unlike every other floor: no icons, different type sizes, and the Merit line missing entirely. We had reworked the labyrinth's panel and left the tower behind. Both now use the same one. · Floor name, HP, Merit and haul read the same everywhere. The tower… | — | |
| In-game event | Brimir Update (v1212) Brimir Update (v1212) A player with 30 hours and three runs to Grade 7 sent us a long letter. The heart of it was this — "Thirty hours in, and I still have no idea how companions join after Finn." What we thought was the pleasure of figuring things out was, for most people, confusion and frustration. Discovery comes from the solution , not from the goal . Meeting a Doppelganger for the first ti… | — | |
| Game update | 브리미르 업데이트 (v1223) Brimir Update (v1223) This update turns on one hinge — what you kill should count, and you should know before you climb. Warden purification commissions did not work that way. Nobody can know which Warden a Rift will hold, yet the Temple asked you to name one in town beforehand. Strike down a Warden you hadn't named and the whole climb was wasted, and you waited a dozen expeditions for that Rif… | — | |
| Game update | 브리미르 업데이트 (v1160) Brimir Update (v1160) 💀 Death used to just end — the Comeback Loadout When you fell, nothing came back with you except inherited runes. Now the place you died hands you something to start the next life with , and you spend it yourself on the death screen. · The deeper you die, the more you get. A shallow death is no longer empty-handed · Three tracks to split it between — how many expeditions… | — | |
| Game update | Brimir Update (v1116) Brimir Update (v1116) 🎨 The Corpse-World — this time we painted the labyrinth Last time we repainted the town. But the place a pilgrim actually spends their hours is the labyrinth. This build repaints the floors by hand. · Every floor has its own ground now. Terrain, trees, water and cliffs were split into art made for each floor · Canyon of Rifts (floor 5) — the canyons were cut apart into cl… | — | |
| Game update | 브리미르 업데이트 (v1048) Brimir Update (v1048) 🏘 Midgard — the town is a painting now This build repaints Midgard entirely. 🚪 Locked facilities — we tell you why instead of hiding them Facilities you hadn't unlocked simply had nobody there. The shipyard stood in plain sight with no Shipwright beside it, which left the town feeling empty and gave you no idea what was still ahead. · Those you haven't met yet now keep t… | — | |
| Game update | Brimir Update (v1040) Brimir Update (v1040) 🤝 Companions — Affinity now opens up to "Comradeship" Affinity earned by fighting alongside your companions was capped at Trust . From this build it opens one tier higher, to Comradeship . · Each companion gains a new synergy at that tier. Skadi's endurance, Lagertha's blade dance, Alba's elemental binding — each grows one step further along what they already do best · Di… | — | |
| Game update | Brimir Update (v1034) Brimir Update (v1034) 🏘 Midgar — We Rebuilt It, Then Put It Back This build shipped with the town rebuilt from scratch. We shrank the map by 58%, split buildings into stalls and open-air stands, and turned the fountain into a monument square. We tried to answer "large but empty" by making it smaller — and what came back was clear: smaller was worse. We're reverting it. · The town returns to ho… | — | |
| Game update | Brimir Update (v1028) Brimir Update (v1028) 🏘 Midgar — The Town, Rebuilt From Scratch We kept hearing that the town was large but empty. This time we rebuilt the whole thing. · The map is 58% smaller. The long walk from end to end is gone — most of the town now fits on one screen · Buildings now have a hierarchy. Temple, Guild, and Hideout are houses; Shop and Enchanter are market stalls on the plaza; Blacksmith, R… | — | |
| Game update | Brimir Update (v974) Brimir Update (v974) 📊 Records That Never Reached the Leaderboard (Important) A Pilgrim reported that they had "disappeared from the rankings." Tracing it, we found their records had not reached our server once in four days. · The real problem was that nobody knew it was failing. Record uploads were fire-and-forget — the result was never checked, so when they failed, the game didn't know, you… | — | |
| Game update | Brimir Update (v949) Brimir Update (v949) 🌏 English Build — Large Translation Pass Reported by an English-playing Pilgrim. Tracking it down turned up four separate causes, not one. · Return Stone / Reflux Stone descriptions and active commission text stayed in Korean — that text was being written into the save file verbatim , so a save created in Korean stayed Korean forever, no matter what language you switched t… | — | |
| Game update | Brimir Update (v940) Brimir Update (v940) 👁 Enemy Skill Telegraphs Greatly Expanded Until now, only skills that dealt direct damage painted a warning zone on the ground. That left 50+ skills — lingering fields, roots, pulls — going off with no warning at all. · Damage-over-time fields, roots, weakening effects and pulls are now all drawn on the ground , color-coded by type · The drawn area matches the actual hit a… | — | |
| Game update | Brimir Update (v921) Brimir Update (v921) ⚡ Performance — Loading Is Much Faster · Floor transitions 1.3s → 0.8s. Monsters are now preloaded during the fade · Re-entering the same floor 0.18s → instant. Fixed assets being re-read every time you returned from battle · Opening the Bestiary for the first time 1.4s → 0.03s. 🎮 Exploration Pacing · Labyrinth movement speed +15% (200 → 230) · Floor transition fade shorte… | — | |
| Game update | Brimir Update (v910) Brimir Update (v910) 🌐 English Support Added Full English localization has been added to the game. You can change the language from the Settings menu — a restart prompt will appear to fully apply the change. 🆕 System Improvements · Eir Healer Redesign — reworked party healing and healer leveling · Runes — added runes for Floor 7 Grade 6 & 7 monsters · Training Ground — extended how long the i… | — | |
| Game update | Brimir Update (v861) Thanks to pilgrims who sent in reports, we've fixed several issues. 🙏 🔧 Bug Fixes · Fixed being stuck in "First Training" — If you entered the Training Grounds' First Training while already carrying runes, you could neither absorb nor discard the rune, leaving you trapped in the fight. This is resolved, and pilgrims who have already braved the Sea will no longer be shown the First Training pr… | — | |
| In-game event | Brimir v828 Update Onboarding [] Reworked the new-game flow — after creating your character, you go straight into your first fight, absorb your first rune, then arrive in town [] Changed the first rune skill to "Bash" (melee hit + stun) [] Added block/parry guidance [] Your first rune removal at the temple is free Combat & Quality of Life [] Redesigned the ESC pause menu — escape with a Return Stone / Reflux Ston… | — | |
