How to farm Monolith corruption in Last Epoch

As specified, you must follow a proper strategy to increase the Monolith corruption quickly in the Last Epoch. The developers have designed the domain with a branching system where charting the optimal route is necessary.

However, before you jump into the farming loop, make sure to unlock the empowered Monolith, where corruption can be increased indefinitely, unlike the normal timeline. You can activate the empowered timeline by completing the normal versions of Spirits of Fire, The Last Ruin, and The Age of Winter.

Now, gear up with your best Last Epoch builds for the respective class and follow the mechanics listed below to farm the Monolith corruption in Last Epoch:

• The trick here is to quickly clear the nodes and Echoes to progress deeper into the web.
• Try to avoid Arena Echoes at all costs, as it will take you quite some time to defeat its massive wave of enemies.
• Also, refrain from taking long routes to optimize farming time.
• Upon reaching the edge of the Echo web, you will come across the Shade of Orobyss. Defeat it to obtain at least +15 Corruption.
• Once the shade is killed, the timeline will reset, allowing you to repeat the process.
• Make sure also to beat the Timeline boss to obtain a Gaze of Orobyss. It will grant bonus corruptions every time you kill the shade.

Remember that the quality of rewards will increase significantly at high Monolith corruption. You can get rarer pieces of gear, which can be further used to craft Legendary items in Last Epoch. The only tradeoff is that corruption will also increase the domain difficulty, implying that enemies will grow stronger with each increasing level.
