The latest VV ULTIMATUM update introduced a brand-new Crocodile Hollow Variant, giving Hollow players another unique starting form to choose from. Unlike the original Hollow variants, this one isn’t available by default—you’ll first need to complete Ascension 2 to unlock it.
If you’re wondering how to get the Crocodile variant as quickly as possible, this guide walks you through every step.
Crocodile Hollow Requirements
Before you can unlock the Crocodile Hollow Variant, you’ll need to meet the following requirement:
- Have a Max Level character.
- Be ready to complete Ascension 2.
If you’ve already completed Ascension 1 in a previous update, you’re already one step ahead and can move straight to the next stage.
Step 1: Travel to the Galley Area
Start by heading to the Four Adams area.
From there:
- Make your way toward the Galley.
- Continue to the very top section of the area.
- Look for the large Ascension Statue.
This is the NPC you’ll need to interact with to begin the process.
Step 2: Complete Ascension 2
Interact with the statue and choose the Ascension option.
If you meet the requirements, you’ll be able to perform Ascension 2.
Completing it rewards you with several unlocks, including access to the brand-new Crocodile Hollow Type.
Simply confirm the ascension to permanently unlock the new Hollow variant.
Step 3: Create a New Hollow Character
Once the ascension is complete:
- Create a new character slot.
- Select Hollow as your race.
- Open the Hollow Type selection.
You’ll now see Crocodile alongside the existing Hollow options.
All Hollow Types
After unlocking Crocodile, the available Hollow types include:
- Lizard
- Gorilla
- Turtle
- Scorpion
- Centipede
- Crocodile (New)
The Crocodile variant becomes available for every new Hollow character you create after completing Ascension 2.
What Makes Crocodile Hollow Different?
The Marshlands Crocodile immediately stands out because of its massive size.
Compared to the other starting Hollow forms, it appears significantly larger and features completely unique attack animations.
Some notable differences include:
- Larger character model.
- Unique basic attack (M1) animations.
- Different Heavy Attack animation.
- Distinct movement style.
If you enjoy trying different Hollow playstyles, it’s one of the more interesting additions in the update.
Enable Manual Evolution
If you’re planning to stay in the Crocodile form for a while, there’s one important setting you’ll want to change.
Open:
Settings → Miscellaneous
Then enable:
Manual Evolution
This prevents your Hollow from automatically evolving into Menos, allowing you to continue playing as the Crocodile for as long as you’d like.
Without this setting enabled, you’ll eventually leave the Crocodile form automatically.
Can You Fight Normally?
Yes.
The Crocodile Hollow comes with its own attack animations, including:
- Standard M1 attacks.
- Heavy attacks.
- Unique combat animations.
It’s fully playable from the moment you spawn after choosing the new Hollow type.
Free Update Codes
The update also introduced several redeemable codes that reward useful items, including:
- Ability Rerolls
- Build Reset Tokens
If new codes are available, it’s worth redeeming them before starting a new Crocodile character so you can customize your build immediately.
Is Crocodile Hollow Worth Unlocking?
If you enjoy playing as Hollow, the answer is definitely yes.
The Crocodile variant offers:
- A completely new starting appearance.
- Unique combat animations.
- Another Hollow option for future character slots.
- A fresh experience while progressing through the Hollow evolution path.
Since it’s unlocked account-wide through Ascension 2, you only need to complete the requirement once.
The Crocodile Hollow Variant is one of the standout additions in the latest VV: ULTIMATUM update. Unlocking it is fairly straightforward—reach the required level, complete Ascension 2, and create a new Hollow character to select the new variant.
If you want to enjoy the Crocodile form for longer, don’t forget to enable Manual Evolution in the settings. That way, you can keep experimenting with its unique attacks and oversized appearance before progressing further along the Hollow evolution path.
