Last Epoch season 2 patch notes - Tombs of The Erased (update 1.2)

The patch notes for the upcoming Season 2 of Last Epoch (othewise called patch 1.2) are out. Eleventh Hour Games has unveiled all the nitty-gritties of this massive upcoming seasonal update, titled Tombs of the Erased, and the list is quite lengthy, to say the least. The studio has released over 100 pages of incoming changes, new additions, balance changes, class rebalances, new skills, and so much more.

Coming to all platforms on July 17, Last Epoch Season 2 is already slated to be a significant shakeup from the previous patch, which only brought in a couple of high-end bosses and a new faction. However, it wasn't enough to sustain the steam that Last Epoch picked up after its extremely successful launch. Tombs of the Erased is Eleventh Hour Games' response to the criticism and feedback, and it looks pretty robust.

This is also the first major patch in Last Epoch for a long time, the last one being Harbingers of Ruin (1.1) from July 2024. Naturally, the patch notes contain not only a documentation for everything new Season 2, but also a sweeping series of class and balance changes to set a fresh meta for a fresh Cycle.

Everything new in Last Epoch Season 2, aka patch 1.2, Tombs of The Erased

First things first, the Tombs of the Erased (Season 2) patch for Last Epoch is bringing in newer endgame mechanics and factions that will change everything from side areas in the Monoliths to crafting systems. As stated earlier, there are over 100 pages of stuff to go over.

The primary feature is the new and improved side areas and the new faction centered around the Weaver. Following that are the highly anticipated and sweeping changes to the Sentinel class, including distinct role definitions between separate subclasses. There are Monolith changes, crafting changes such as introducing new runes and methods of crafting Exalted items, and so on.

It’s a long read ahead, so grab some water and buckle up.

Complete Patch Notes of Last Epoch Tombs of the Erased (Season 2, update 1.2)

Tombs of the Erased

Monolith of Fate Echoes have a chance to spawn a Tomb of the Erased, new procedurally generated side zones filled with new Woven enemies, new rewards, and their own unique boss.
Developer Note: This is our first deployment of our brand new procedural content generation system. We’re excited about this development milestone, as procedural generation will enable us to produce more varied content more quickly for future updates. We’ll continue expanding on this technology over time.
Tombs can spawn in any Echo except for Quest Echoes and Arena Echoes.
When a Tomb has spawned in an Echo, you will see Silken Cocoons placed throughout the zone.
These cocoons are the captured souls for the Weaver, and when broken, the souls will flee and possess nearby enemies.
Possessed enemies gain new abilities, increased health, and damage - and when slain, they drop Memory Amber, a new currency used in the Woven Faction.
Silken Cocoons also have a chance to release a new rare enemy, similar to the Chosen Erased, which starts with a possessed mod as if it had been possessed by a Soul of the Erased. This new enemy, called the Incubated Silk, will drop loot equivalent to the loot that would have dropped from a possessed enemy.
Silken Cocoons can also be found in Tombs and Cemeteries.
At the end of a Tomb is one of the Goldthread Fateweavers bosses. After defeating the Fateweaver, you will advance to the end and find a chest containing a duplicate of the current Echo bonus reward.
At the end of both Tombs and Cemeteries, you will also find the Woven Enchanter device, which can be used to enchant your class-specific Idols. This will be explained further below.

Cemeteries of the Erased

You will also find Cemeteries of the Erased, a new Echo type, in your Echo Web. The objective of a Cemetery Echo is to slay the Woven Firstborn boss.
When you start a Cemetery Echo, you will find the entrance to the underground Cemetery somewhere in the area. Descend into the Cemetery and defeat the boss to complete the Echo.
Completing a Cemetery provides you access to the Altar of the Weaver, where you can place your Woven Echoes.
Woven Echoes are a new, itemized, type of Echo that bring unique challenges and rewards. More information on Woven Echoes below
After completing your first Cemetery, you will be taken to the Haven of Silk, the hub for the Woven Faction.

The Woven Faction

When you are first brought to the Haven of Silk, you will be introduced to Masque, who will invite you to join the Woven, a faction made up of worshipers of the Weaver.
You will gain reputation points with The Woven by earning and spending Memory Amber, a new currency mostly found in Tombs and Cemeteries, and by slaying Woven enemies.
With each Rank, Masque will sell you new Woven Echoes. You can purchase these Woven Echoes with Memory Amber.
By completing Woven Echoes and advancing your ranks with the Woven, you will gain points for the Weaver Tree, which allows you to influence the Monolith of Fate.

The Weaver Tree

Developer Note: One of our goals with Season 2 was to provide players with more agency when it comes to their experience in the Endgame. The Weaver Tree allows players to influence the rewards and encounters present in the Monolith of Fate, as well as providing us with a longer-term mechanism for influencing seasonal mechanics in the future.

The Weaver Tree functions similarly to passive and skill trees but instead modifies your Monolith of Fate.
Travelers will be able to gain a maximum of 50 Weaver Tree points, and as mentioned above, you will gain points by increasing your rank with the Woven and completing Woven Echoes for the first time.
There are roughly 70 nodes in the Weaver Tree, which offer different ways to adjust your Monolith of Fate. Some examples:
Place an item to imprint it in a slot to have a chance for similar items to be granted as an extra reward when completing Echoes.
Gain a chance for Beacons to be replaced by more difficult Super Beacons that reveal more Echoes on completion.
Gain a chance for Zerrick to join you in your Echoes with a big boost to gold drops.
Convert Arena Echoes to Super Arena Echoes.
Remove Arena Echoes from spawning.
When Weaver’s Will items drop, they roll their Weaver’s Will value twice and keep the higher amount.
Increase the amount of Memory Amber drops.
Gain a chance for your Tombs and Cemeteries to have a Possessed Nemesis in them.
Nemeses always drop their specific weapon item sub-types when they escape after empowering them.
Shade of Orobyss may ambush you in your Echoes.
Remove Corruption gain when slaying the Shade of Orobyss.
Replace common Echo rewards such as Glyphs, Runes, and Gold with a different random reward.
Add new Echo reward types, such as Memory Amber, Woven Echoes, and Dungeon Keys and Charms.

Woven Echoes

Woven Echoes are a new, specialized item type of Echo that glimpses into the Weaver’s new world and introduces a lot of exciting new content and rewards to Last Epoch’s end game. These can be woven into a Timeline’s Echo Web via the Altar of the Weaver found at the end of a Cemetery of the Erased side zone and run like other Echoes.

There are 36 different Woven Echoes coming with the release of Season 2.
Woven Echoes are items that can be found in Tombs and Cemeteries, can be purchased from the NPC Masque, or generated in the Echo Web through certain nodes on the Weaver’s Tree.
You will unlock new Woven Echoes that you can purchase from Masque as you advance in the Ranks in the Woven, however not all Woven Echoes are purchasable.
Woven Echoes items specify their type on their tooltip as a Crafting Woven Echo, Boss Woven Echo, or Woven Echo. Woven Echoes containing Endgame bosses and Crafting rewards are signified with icons inside the Woven Echoes tab.
Woven Echoes with a plus icon in the Woven Echo tab indicate that completing that Woven Echo will grant you a Weaver Tree point.
Woven Echoes can be added to your Echo Web via the Altar of the Weaver after you kill a Cemetery boss. Once they are added, you can play them like you would a normal Echo.
In a party, players may each add Woven Echoes into their own individual Timelines.
Woven Echo drops are signified by a teal-on-gold item label and are shown on the minimap.
Some Woven Echoes feature completely new Endgame bosses, such as the Draal Queen or Ignixiros the Antipode Dragon. Others feature Endgame-enhanced versions of existing mini-boss and boss encounters, such as Haruspex Orian, Majasa, and an Uber version of Aberroth.
Other Woven Echoes provide unique challenges and rewards not found in normal Echoes. Some rewards even affect other nearby unconquered Echoes.
Example rewards found in Woven Echoes:
New Endgame Crafting options:
Set Item Crafting: Shatter Set Items into Set Shards and apply them like normal affixes to make an item count towards that Set bonus.
There is a new specific Affix Shard for every Set item.
Reroll Legendary Potential: Rerolls the Legendary Potential of Uniques that have at least one Legendary Potential.
Attribute Swap: Swap an item’s attribute (Strength, Intelligence, Attunement, Dexterity) for another selected attribute.
Reroll Unique or Set item mod values: Reroll mod and implicit values of Unique and Set items by sacrificing another of the same type with at least equal power level.
Experimental Item Crafting: Replace a prefix mod with an Experimental prefix (more on this below).
Woven Echo exchange: sacrifice 3 Woven Echoes to gain a random one
Corruption catchup for alt characters.
Adding a new enemy to your possible Nemesis encounters (Void Nemesis).
Guaranteed Unique drops.
Class-specific gear.
Conquering a Woven Echo for the first time usually grants at least 1 Weaver Tree point. The points are shared with all characters sharing the same stash. 13 Points can be earned from Weaver Faction ranks and the remaining 37 points from conquering Woven Echoes.
Threshold of Eternity (Uber Aberroth) is an exception and grants no Weaver Tree points.
Woven Echos auto-store to their new Inventory tab upon pickup. This can be toggled off from the game settings.

New Endgame Itemization and Crafting in Last Epoch Season 2 patch notes

Idol Enchanting

At the end of Tombs and Cemeteries will be a Woven Enchanter device, which can be used to enchant your class-specific Idols (Adorned, Grand, Huge, Large, Ornate).
Enchanting an Idol will grant one Enchanted Affix and turn the Idol into a Heretical Idol of the same subtype of that Idol type.
Enchanting an Idol adds an Enchanted Affix up to tier 4 and some amount of Weaver’s Touch, where the combined amount of tiers on the Enchanted Affix and Weaver’s Touch is between 5 and 14. For example, it could add a tier 1 Enchanted Affix and 4 Weaver’s Touch, or up to tier 4 Enchanted Affix and 10 Weaver’s Touch.
Similar to Weaver’s Will items, when you have a Heretical Idol equipped and slay an enemy, you will have a chance to either increase the tier of an Enchanted Affix or add a new one and expend Weaver’s Touch.
Enchanted Idols can have up to 2 Enchanted Affixes in addition to the 2 standard affixes they normally have.
Idols can be Re-enchanted for a Memory Amber cost, which removes any existing Enchanted Affixes or Weaver’s Touch before enchanting it again, adding an Enchanted Affix and Weaver’s Touch.
The new Rune of Weaving, added this patch, can be used to consume Weaver’s Touch like it can for Weaver’s Will.
The Woven Enchanter has a limited number of uses based on its location.
One use in a Tomb of the Erased.
Two uses in Cemeteries of the Erased and the Cemetery of Reweaving Woven Echo.
Three uses in the Sepulcher of the Lost Woven Echo.
Four uses in the Cenotaph of Worlds Woven Echo.
If you are in a party, each player can use the Woven Enchanter device independently.

Set Reforging

Set items can now be shattered at the Forge of Shattering in the Great Bridge Woven Echo. This yields Shards specific to that Set item, which can be crafted onto other items, making them into “Reforged Set Items”. This makes them count as that Set item towards the Set bonus of that Set.

Set Shards and Shattering
There are Set Shards and new affixes for every Set item that has been added (1 per Set item).
All set affixes are named for their set item and end with the word “reforged”.
Shattering set items drops 1-4 matching shards per item shattered.
Set Shards cannot drop naturally; they can only be created by shattering matching Set items.
Each use of the Forge of Shattering will shatter all items placed inside and expend one use.
If you are in a party, each player can use the Forge of Shattering independently.
Reforged Set Items
Crafting a Set affix onto an item “reforges” it and turns it into a Reforged Set item, but it can still be crafted.
Reforged Set items will be considered a matching item for the corresponding Set and count toward the Set bonus.
Reforged Set items will be named after their Set item with “Reforged” appended to it. E.g., “Zerrick’s Ambition Reforged.”
Because Reforged Set items are considered Set Items, they will follow the same Loot Filter and Tab Priority rules as Set Items.
Crafting
Reforged Set Shards can be used to craft items in the Forge.
Reforged Set Shards can only be crafted on the same item type as their Set item but can use any base of that type.
For example, Invoker’s Static Touch Reforged can only be crafted on rings, but it could be crafted on an Opal ring or a Sapphire ring.
An item can only have 1 type of Set affix at a time.
Each Set affix provides 2 stats based on the original Set item.
Set items still cannot be shattered by the Rune of Shattering or removed with the Rune of Removal to gain shards. Only by the new Forge of Shattering in the Great Bridge Woven Echo. However, Reforged Set Items can be Shattered.
Set affixes can be sealed with the Glyph of Despair.
Set affixes cannot be granted through the use of Glyph of Chaos, Glyph of Envy, Rune of Redemption, Rune of Discovery, or Weaver Tree Imprinting.
Set affixes can be crafted normally up to T5, as usual. Using the new Rune of Havoc, which shuffles all affix tiers within an item (except sealed affixes), you can potentially get T6 and T7 as well.

Legendary Potential Rerolling

You can use the Transmuting Gem in the Farsight Turtle Woven Echo to reroll the Legendary Potential of all items placed into it.
Rerolled items will either improve or lose their existing Legendary Potential.
If you use the Transmuting Gem and Legendary Potential is lost, you will receive a number of random rare affix shards equal to the Legendary Potential lost.
Only Legendary Potential is rerolled, not implicits or Unique modifiers.
If you are in a party, each player can use the Transmuting Gem independently.
Note: If you lose all Legendary Potential on the item, it can then be used to replace the Egg of the Forgotten in a Nemesis encounter, giving you another chance to give a Unique item high Legendary Potential or turn it into a useful Legendary item.

Unique, Legendary, and Set Affix Rerolling

In the Gauntlet of Strife Woven Echo you’ll be challenged by a sequence of boss encounters and by completing it, you’ll be rewarded with access to the Sacrificial Altar which can be used to sacrifice a Unique, Legendary, Weaver’s Will, or Set item to reroll the all affix values of a matching item.
The item being sacrificed needs to have equal or greater Potential Tier.
Potential Tier is equivalent to:
Weaver’s Will Item: Weaver’s Will + the sum of Legendary affix tiers.
Other Legendary Item: Number of Legendary affixes.
Unique Item: Legendary Potential.
Set Item: 0.
If you are in a party, each player can use the Sacrificial Altar independently.

Swap Attribute Affixes

Use the Relic of The Observer in Oerden’s Watch to replace a non-sealed attribute affix with a different attribute of your choosing.
+All Attributes and +Vitality cannot be replaced or chosen. Sealed affixes cannot be replaced.
The tier and roll range of the replaced affix will be preserved for the new affix.
If you are in a party, each player can use the Relic of the Observer independently.

Experimental Item Crafting

Experimental Item Crafting is now done exclusively by using the Thaumaturgy Device in the Rune Prison Complex to replace a prefix with an Experimental affix on Boots, Gloves, or a Belt. This change makes this itemization more approachable.

Must have 2 prefixes and not have an Experimental affix.
The chance of higher tier outcomes increases with the combined prefix tiers. Exalted prefixes tiers contribute much more increase to the chance for higher tier outcomes.
Max tier outcome is 5, but a Rune of Havoc can be used to swap an Exalted tier onto the Experimental affix you added.
If you are in a party, each player can use the Thaumaturgy Device independently.
With the addition of the Thaumaturgy Device, we have removed the Glyph of Insight and Rune of Research from the game.
Developer note and clarification regarding previously given incorrect information: Rune of Research was previously guaranteed and the only way to seal an Experimental affix. Experimental affixes cannot be obtained as shards, which means that Experimental affixes are no longer able to be sealed. We felt this a safe trade-off for the ability to more easily target Experimental affixes on good item bases and the ability to increase them to higher tiers using Rune of Havoc.

New Crafting Materials

Three new Runes have been added for Season 2.

Rune of Havoc

Shuffles the tiers of affixes on an Exalted item. The rolls of the affixes within their tiers are preserved regardless of whether their tiers change.
For example, an item with tier 2 strength, tier 7 dexterity, tier 3 health, and tier 2 endurance might be changed to have tier 7 strength, tier 3 dexterity, tier 2 health, and tier 2 endurance.
This cannot result in all the affixes having the same tiers as before (guaranteeing at least one change in tier), and it cannot be used on items where all non-sealed affixes have the same tier (to prevent wasting the Rune).
Sealed affixes are unaffected and are not shuffled.

Rune of Redemption

Randomly changes the Exalted affixes (T6 and T7) on an item into different affixes. It does not change the tiers of the affixes or the rolls within the tiers.
Affixes can only be changed to ones that can spawn on this item type when dropped from a regular enemy. Sealed affixes are unaffected.

Rune of Weaving

Converts a random amount of the remaining Weaver’s Will or Weaver’s Touch on an item into additional affixes or affix tiers as if you had slain many enemies with that item equipped.

Eternity Cache Adjustments

At Temporal Sanctum Tier 2 and above, you can now select 1 affix from your Exalted item to guarantee it is included on your resulting Legendary item when sealing the Eternity Cache.
Or you can opt to let the winds of fate decide if that’s more your style.
Added a small chance for a “Critical Success” that can cause the Unique item to take more affixes than its Legendary Potential. This chance scales with the chance for that Unique to drop with higher Legendary Potential.
For example, if you’re using a Calamity with 1 Legendary Potential, the chance for a Critical Success depends on the chance of a Calamity dropping with 2 or more Legendary Potential at level 100.
Added a new class of enemy, “Champion”, to the game. Champions are a subset of Rare enemies, with unique names and more powerful abilities. 20 Champion enemies have been added for Season 2 across the game.
Champions will be larger than other enemies and have an orange highlight to distinguish themselves as a Champion enemy.
Champions are based on existing enemies but have added and altered abilities.
Each Champion has three random mods, a prefix and suffix like other rare enemies, and a new Champion mod that grants it an extra ability.
Champions can spawn in the Campaign, in Dungeons, and the Monolith, but they only spawn in areas of level 6 and above.
Champions also always drop an item with a sealed Champion affix that depends on the Champion’s mod. For example, a Volcano Champion will always drop a belt with the “Volcano Champion’s” affix.
Champion affixes are a subtype of personal affixes and, as such, cannot exist as shards.
Items with Champion affixes are always Rare or Exalted.
Examples:
+1 Maximum Companions and Increased Minion Damage.
Chance to cast Electrify on Hit and Chance to Cast Smite on Hit with Throwing Attacks (up to 10 times per 2 seconds).
X Minions Teleported around you after you use a Traversal Skill and Increased Minion Damage.
Increased Spell Damage and chance for Lightning Blast to chain 4 additional times.
Ward Per Second and % of Current Health Converted to Ward when you directly cast a Necrotic Spell.
Added Melee Damage and +1 Charge for Void Cleave.
Champions also have a small chance to drop exceptional loot, such as a pile of Uniques.
Champion encounters, and their rewards, can be influenced by nodes in the Weaver Tree.

Monoliths

Objectives

Added new objectives in Monoliths.
Slay X Champions.
Slay X Exiled Mages.
Activate Shrines until Ambushed.
Open Lost Caches until Ambushed.
Stabilize the Echo.
Unstable Rifts will open throughout the zone. Find the Rifts, and slay all enemies that spawn to close them and stabilize the Echo.
Completing this objective also awards bonus stability to the Timeline for all players in the zone (150% of the completion reward).
Find the Cocooned Item.
Slay enemies until one drops the Cocooned item.
Completing this objective will drop Cocooned Uniques, an unidentified Unique of a specific base type (e.g. a Cocooned 1H sword).
Identifying a Cocooned Unique will roll any Unique of that base type that is more likely to have higher levels of Legendary Potential levels or Weaver’s Will. Cocooned Uniques cannot reveal items that are exclusive drops from things such as Bosses.

Shared Monolith Timeline Unlocks

Non-Empowered Timeline unlocks are now shared between characters that have access to the same stash.
This means that if you have unlocked Empowered Timelines on one character, then another character with access to the same stash only needs to complete one Timeline to unlock Empowered Timelines (that Timeline must still be a level 90 Timeline).
This doesn’t apply retroactively to existing characters, so you will need to complete them once more for Legacy characters.

Shade of Orobyss

The Shade of Orobyss now scales with area level.

To compensate for the effect of this change, the Shade now has 42% less health and deals 20% less damage at baseline. This results in it having 50% more health and dealing 5% more damage than before at level 100.
This does not change how the Shade scales with Corruption or distance from the center of the Echo Web.

Arena Echo Changes

Arena Echoes have fewer waves overall and provide better rewards.
Most enemies in the Arena are now move faster when they are further away from the player, allowing them to engage with the player faster.
A random Champion now spawns at the end of the Arena’s last wave.
Enemies spawn faster.
Fixed the minimap not generating in some Arena Echoes.
Fixed the wave count not showing.

Spire Changes

In Spire objective Echoes, all Spires will now spawn with a Spire Guardian.
Spire Guardians are special mini-bosses that guard the Spires in their Echoes.
Spires will now wait to attack you until you are in combat with the Spire Guardian.
While you are in combat with the Spire Guardian, the Spire can still attack you anywhere in the zone.
Spires will have a protective shield around them and cannot be damaged until the Spire Guardian has been defeated.

Death & Loot Persistence

When you die in an Echo, all items in a small area around your corpse are brought with you to the Echo of a World.

Other

Improved End of Time and Monolith Hub visuals.
Current corruption value for each Timeline is now shown on the world map screen so you don’t have to enter each Timeline to check its Corruption level.
Timeline completion quests (the last Quest Echo in a Timeline) now reward significantly more experience, but have a limit based on the percent experience required for a character of that level to reach the next level.
Echo objectives are no longer rerolled each time you repeat an Echo. Instead, they will always keep the same objective, even if exited and re-entered.
Rustlands Arena traps are now deactivated during the rest period between every 5 waves.
Improved game performance in Monoliths when there is a “Locate…” objective.
Encounters in the The Fall of Ledria Quest Echo have been simplified.
Echo repeated entrance abuse prevention:
Re-entering Echoes that have been previously entered have a reduced amount of events, such as Nemeses or Exiled Mages, and drop less loot. This prevents us from having to drastically reduce the amount of content and rewards Echoes contains, as leaving and re-entering them on purpose was emergent gameplay and would be a very strong and unintuitive gameplay loop that we want to avoid.
Added a message to Echo tooltips that have previously been entered, noting that random mechanics will be less likely to occur.

All big Dungeon changes in Last Epoch Season 2 (patch 1.2 notes)

Key Charms

Key Charms are a new item in Last Epoch Season 2 that can be used at the entrance of any dungeon to modify your dungeon experience. There are currently two types of key charms: Portal Charms and Scale Charms.

Portal Charms

Portal charms can be used at the entrance of any dungeon to create a portal that will take your whole party directly to the Boss.
Using the Portal Charm will apply random floor modifiers to the boss as though you had fought through the dungeon normally.

Scale Charms

Scale Charms can be used at the entrance of any dungeon to greatly increase the spawn rate of Loot Lizards found during that run.
Scale Charms cannot be bought; they are only dropped by enemies.

Black Market Key Trader

The Black Market Key Trader can be found in the Maj’elka Upper District and will trade three keys of any kind for a Portal Charm.

Respawning

You can now respawn in dungeons by expending a key. You will respawn near the area where you died or just outside the boss area if you died while fighting a dungeon boss.
During a dungeon bossfight, if you’re in a party and all players have died, only one party member needs to spend a key for the party to respawn and continue.
A ‘Spectate’ button has also been added to the Death screen, allowing you to watch your party continue the fight while you are dead. You cannot move the camera while spectating.

Quests and Unlocks

Completing Temporal Sanctum, Lightless Arbor, and Soulfire Bastion for the first time now rewards 2 passive points and 1 Idol unlock each by way of 3 new short quests for defeating their respective bosses.
These quests also direct players to the alternate dungeon exit, which allows bypassing a portion of the Campaign. Completing all 3 dungeons in this way will earn players a total of 6 passive points and 3 Idol slots and skip a large portion of Campaign zones.

General Skill Changes in Last Epoch Season 2 / update 1.2

Skill Changes section contains Skill Bug Fixes as well, as some Changes are relevant to Bug Fixes to the same skill.

Ailments

Time Rot’s base damage is now 60 (from 55).
Time Rot, Doom, and Abyssal Decay now use different rules for being replaced when the afflicted character is at the maximum stacks of that ailment. They will only be replaced if the newly applied ailment would deal more damage than the remaining damage of an existing application of that ailment.
For example, if you apply an Abyssal Decay that will deal 1000 total damage, since its stack limit is 1, any further attempts at applying Abyssal Decay will not apply the ailment unless the new ailment’s total damage exceeds the remaining damage of that existing stack. So after 50% of that Abyssal Decay’s remaining duration it will have 500 damage left, so a new application would need to deal over 500 damage total to replace it.

Evade

Instant-cast abilities can be used immediately during Evade.
The player can use abilities after stun effect ends if the player was stunned during the Evade.
Movement has been made smoother for the game at more than 60 FPS.
Evade is now smoother in Online mode.
Evade no longer stutters at the edges of the map.
The Evade animation no longer gets stuck if the skill is cast at the edge of an obstacle.
Fixed an issue where Mages could get stuck after the Evade animation.
Fixed an issue where the second cast of Evade would break if clicked quickly.
Fixed getting stuck in Evade when used after skills such as Teleport, Transplant, and Void Cleave.

Bug Fixes - General Skills

Movement Skills - bug fixes
Doubled the max accessible path length for movement skills. This allows you to traverse over gaps that would take up to 60 units to walk around (from 30).
Fixed a bug where skills that make you immune during movement did not prevent damage dealt to Ward.
Fixed a bug causing some movement abilities to not adjust the character to the terrain.
Fixed a bug where using a movement ability at the edge of a walkable area would sometimes cause the player to be moved in the opposite direction of where they aimed.
Fixed cases where movement abilities could leave the player unable to move until another skill is used.
Minions - bug fixes
Minions will now avoid targeting enemies that are currently invulnerable.
Fixed a bug which caused many minions to not receive the inherent 50% less damage taken from powerful abilities. In particular, all Acolyte and Sentinel minions suffered from this bug.
Fixed a bug where minions sometimes won’t show up next to the player despite the HUD displaying them being alive.
Fixed a case where minions were able to fight enemies while players are in a grace period.
Fixed a bug that caused some minions to spawn in invalid locations.
Fixed an issue where players’ grace period did not consistently apply to minions as well.
Minions that are distant from the player or on the other side of the impassable barriers created at the start of the Haruspex Orian or Lagon boss fights are now teleported around the player shortly after the barriers are created. This excludes totems and other permanently immobile minions such as bone prisons.
Manifest Armor and Wraithlord are now more responsive at high movement speeds, reducing instances of the minion “skating” and struggling to move to its intended destination in a timely fashion.
Fixed a bug where a Downed companion’s revivable visuals would persist if the player respawned while the companion was Downed.
Fixed a bug where abilities which replace Evade would not trigger “after Evade use” effects, such as Nihilis’s frenzy after Evade use.
Instant abilities should no longer stop channeling abilities, such as in the case of casting Holy Aura while channeling Warpath.
Fixed a bug where leech provided by skill trees could ignore effects such as Boulderfist’s “cannot leech” affix if the player had no other sources of leech.
Fixed a bug where instant skills could not benefit from several effects that require a direct cast. For example Static, when directly cast, was not able to consume Abyssal Rite stacks from Sacrificial Embrace.
Set the displayed mana cost of many subskills to 0. As these subskills can’t be directly cast, players are never required to pay their mana cost, so these non-zero values were just display errors. Examples include Void Eruption, Lava Burst, Axe Throw, Divine Bolt, Void Beam, Fissure, Summon Forged Weapon, Detonate Ground, Holy Trail, Spark Charge, Zap, Spark Nova, Shrapnel, Flame Burst, Lightning Wave, Summon Mirror Image, Frost Nova.
Added subskill tooltips in many places within skill trees where they were absent.
Reduced situations where Shield Rush, Bear Form Rampage and Flame Rush could move the player outside the map.
The player now displays the correct combo skill animation when casting the ability in Online mode, even if multiple identical combo skills are selected in the bar.
Fixed the combo skill iteration logic when adding multiple identical skills to the bar simultaneously.
Improved appearance of some orbiting abilities (such as Hammer Vortex).
Fixed a bug where removing a modifier that increased the maximum number of a companion, while having the maximum amount of that companion, would result in the extra companion being Downed instead of despawned.
Fixed a bug in Online mode where casting abilities with near-zero mana would trigger the ability animation without actually using the ability.
Improved directional movement of Shuriken projectiles and Sentinel’s Hammers with chain ricochet nodes in Online mode.
Fixed an issue where abilities would reset their cooldown when transitioning between scenes in Online mode.
Reduced instances of abilities visually disappearing early, or rapidly accelerating at the end of their movement when playing at higher latencies.
Fixed an issue where instant abilities would sometimes fail to cast until you manually cast it.
Fixed some cases where abilities would fail to trigger due to elevation differences.
Fixed an issue so various player and enemy abilities, projectiles, and effects will now render and move more consistently in Offline mode.
Skills that have orbiting effects will no longer jitter or move irregularly when orbiting a moving character in Offline mode including Devouring Orb (Dark Moon), Hammer Throw (Hammer Vortex), Cinder Strike (Burning Dagger), Shurikens (Blade Shield), Static Orb (Orbital Fulmination).
Devouring Orb (Dark Moon) will no longer appear briefly at cast location before returning to orbiting the player in Offline mode.
Fixed an issue with some abilities’ targeting, particularly Maelstrom.

Sentinel

The Sentinel class has been updated significantly with an aim of making the class more fun through many skill changes, and more powerful and varied through new and updated passives, skill trees, a rework of Time Rot, and more.

Passives

Sentinel Passive Tree

Fearless grants 5% Increased Health Regeneration per point (from 10%).

Forgeguard Passive Tree

Added a new Forgeguard node, “Forgemaster’s Might”, that allows you to equip a shield alongside a 2h sword, axe, mace, or spear. While you have a two handed weapon and a shield equipped, you and your minions deal 20% less Damage and have 10% less Attack and Cast Speed, and Haste instead grants +10% Block Chance. Requires 45 points in the Forge Guard Passive.

Paladin Passive Tree

The first mastery bonus grants 1.5% More Damage per 10% remaining Health (from granting Increased Fire, Lightning and Physical Damage equal to your remaining Health).
Defiance now has a 5 point threshold bonus that grants +1 Endurance Threshold per 2% uncapped elemental resistance.

Skills

Volatile Reversal

Volatile Reversal’s base functionality has been reworked. It is now a combo ability where the first cast jumps you forward in time to your target location and attacks in an area around you. You can recast within 3 seconds to jump backwards in time to your original location and attack on arrival. The skill has a mana cost of 12, and a 6 second cooldown which continues recovering while the recast is available. Added damage applies to the attack at 200% effectiveness. The skill’s tags are void, melee, area, movement, traversal, strength, vitality. It gains 4% increased melee damage per strength, and +2 spell void damage per vitality.
Volatile Reversal’s tree has been reworked:
Immutable Past: Volatile Reversal’s second part of the combo is removed, but deals 10% more melee damage and has 20% increased melee area.
Termination: 8% more damage per point.
Future Focus: The second combo ability now jumps forward in time to your target location, instead of backwards. +6 seconds to cooldown. You will no longer benefit from effects which require being able to jump forwards.
Dissipation: Volatile Reversal’s melee attack has a 50% chance per point to inflict slow. Volatile Reversal deals 3% more hit damage per slow on the target per point.
Reclaimed Action: When you move at least 4 meters by jumping through time, your next direct melee attack or spell is guaranteed to Echo, if able.
Dark Expanse: Volatile Reversal has 20% increased area.
Hellfire Rifts: Volatile Reversal’s attack and Void Bolts are converted to fire. Time Rot chance in this tree is converted to ignite chance.
Volatile Power: When you jump forwards in time, your arrival location is slightly randomized by 1 meter per point, but Volatile Reversal deals 10% more melee damage per point and has 15% increased melee area per point.
Eldritch Infusion: Volatile Reversal’s melee attack has a 34% chance per point to grant a Void Essence if you hit at least one enemy.
Voidbound Momentum: When you jump backwards in time, Volatile Reversal deals 2% more damage per meter travelled per point, up to 40% per point. This counts the distance you travelled when going forwards and backwards. Volatile Reversal can move up to 20 meters in a single jump at baseline.
Incipient Void Bolt: When you cast Volatile Reversal you cast Void Bolt at 3 enemies nearby your starting position. +3 mana cost. Void Bolts are piercing spell projectiles. Multiple Void Bolts from the same cast can’t hit the same enemy more than once.
Terminal Void Bolt: When you cast Volatile Reversal you cast Void Bolt at 3 enemies nearby your arrival location. +3 mana cost.
Hollow Cascade: Terminal Void Bolts are replaced by a single cast of Abyssal Echoes, consuming 80% of its mana cost.
Food for Wyrms: Volatile Reversal’s Void Bolts have a 50% chance per point to inflict Time Rot.
Time Rifts: Enemies hit by Volatile Reversal’s Void Bolts take 15% increased damage over time for 3 seconds per point. Does not stack.

Swift Echoes: 5% increased cooldown recovery speed per point.
Rending Maw: Volatile Reversal has +3% critical strike chance per point.
Voidstep Siphon: Critically hitting at least one enemy with Volatile Reversal’s attack or Void Bolt restores 2 mana per point. This can occur once per use for the attack, and separately once per use for the Void Bolts.

Warped Time: You have Frenzy while able to jump backwards in time (You are able to jump backwards in time when the jump back combo ability is ready to be used).
Phased Reality: While you are able to jump backwards in time, 5% per point of your armor mitigation applies to damage over time.
Anchored Timeline: Volatile Reversal’s forwards jump has a significantly shorter maximum distance, but its cooldown is reduced. 70% reduced max distance, 50% reduced cooldown. No longer traversal. This reduces VR’s max movement distance to 6 meters.
Temporal Dilation: The second combo ability remains able to be used for +1 second per point, and deals 12% more damage per point.
Accelerationist: When you jump forwards in time, your Devouring Orbs become 2 seconds older per point (this causes them to expire sooner).
Chrono-Devourer: When you jump backwards in time, Devouring Orb recovers 2 seconds of cooldown per point for every orb that expired after jumping forwards.
Nether Convergence: When you jump forwards in time, your Devouring Orbs are pulled towards you and trigger a Void Rift. +10 mana cost.
Eternal Banquet: When you jump backwards in time, your Devouring Orbs become 2 seconds younger per point (this causes them to expire later). Each orb can only benefit from this once.

Some of the items from large explosions of loot are exchanged for extra gold, and gold drops in multiple piles when a large amount drops at once.

In Voidscarred Necropolis Quest Echo and the Path of Despair Quest Echoes:
Replaced Void Bears with Consumed Groles.

Updated the Prophet of Ruin in The Corrupted Lake and other locations to use the new Void Prophet model.

MERCHANT’S GUILD

Bazaar

There is now a minimum listing price of 500 gold and a maximum listing price of 1,500,000,000 gold.
There is now a 15% of listing price tax, or 500 gold (whichever is higher), paid for by the buyer.
Example 1: You list an item for 500 gold. The purchasing player will pay 1000 gold, or 500 gold (list price)+500 gold (tax).
Example 2: You list an item for 1,000,000 gold. The purchasing player will pay 1,150,000 gold, or 1,000,000 gold (list price)+150,000 gold (tax).
Tax is applied after the listing gold cap is enforced. If you list an item for 1,5 billion gold, the purchase price will be the intended 1,725 billion gold.
Tax is not included in the display value for items you listed yourself (both in the Search UI and Listings UI).

Player-to-Player Trade (P2P)

Direct P2p trade has been removed. Data shows that this was rarely used compared to other avenues, such as the Bazaar, P2P gifting through party play, or the use of Resonances. Instead, it was mainly used for real money trading, which harms legitimate gameplay and enjoyment.
Please note: You can still gift items found in the same zone as party members or use Resonance to gift items found without them in your party at the time of drop. Additionally, nothing is changing with the main Bazaar system in this respect.

General Improvements for controls in Last Epoch Season 2 (patch 1.2

Gamepad

Improved gamepad navigation for the passive tree UI.
Improved gamepad navigation for the loot filters.
Improved gamepad navigation for the MTX shop.
Improved gamepad navigation in the inventory.
Added hotkey to transfer materials from inventory.
Added acceleration and raised the overall speed of selection for inventory and stash.
Changed the inventory highlight to start at the last active location when opening the inventory.
Added OnHold actions to inventory to improve material transfer and sorting QoL.
Added gamepad support for the Ladder panel.
Added ability to see tooltips while hovering over map icons.
Made the continue panel for Arena navigable on gamepad.
You can now navigate the URLs on the bug report panel using a gamepad.
Changed panel navigation prompts to only be on the panel you are navigating toward.
Added the LT prompts to the Forge UI panel and the Nemesis Egg Selection panel.

Gamepad Targeting

Gamepad targeting has been significantly improved with a new “Targeting Paradigm” system, completely overhauling how skill targeting works on gamepads (including Steam Deck). This means we can create custom behaviors for every skill based on the intended use of a skill while using a controller, such as:

‘Cast On Self’.
‘Cast Max Range Forwards’.
‘Cast on Closest Enemy in Range’.
‘Cast On Enemy in Forward Facing Cone’.
This paradigm is closest to the old targeting system and is the fallback for many abilities.

This also includes cases where a node or piece of gear modifies how a skill works. This paradigm system allows us to create two-tiered behaviors and far more specific fine-tuning than before. For example, this will make it much easier for players to kite enemies while on the run with most skills. Since each skill has two possible targeting paradigms, you no longer always need to turn and aim directly at foes. Most ranged abilities now have a second tier that defaults to targeting the nearest enemy. We believe this system will make kiting much more intuitive and satisfying. These changes include most fan-favorite bow skills, such as Puncture, and most other ranged skills that don’t have significant cast delays or unique targeting systems.

The Ballista skill is a great example. By default, Ballista is a long-range squishy minion that you summon and keep nearby. However, with the right Skill Tree nodes, it becomes an explosive you want to hurl at your enemies. Previously, the system only allowed for one action - stay or throw - to take place, and thus Ballistae were always thrown regardless of how your Skill Tree was specced. The new system lets summoned Ballistae stay safely at your side while explosive Ballistae are correctly chucked at the nearest enemy.

While acknowledging this can’t possibly perfect gamepad targeting for everything - looking at you, Meteor - we are confident every skill is going to see a noticeable improvement in performance. Overall, this new system allows us much more flexibility to make changes based on player feedback, and we’re counting on you to let us know how we can further improve.

Lastly, as an added bonus, channeled abilities now adjust for height when using a controller.

Mastery Respec

Players can now pay to respec their mastery in the End of Time. This can be done by talking to Chronomancer Lerinne, the same NPC used to respec passive points.
Respeccing your mastery will also reset all of your passive points.
The cost to respec your mastery scales from 100g at level 1, up to 1,000,000g at level 100 and is combined with the price for respeccing all allocated passive points.
Level: 1, Cost: 100g
Level: 10, Cost: 1,000g
Level: 20, Cost: 5,000g
Level: 30, Cost: 10,000g
Level: 40, Cost: 15,000g
Level: 50, Cost: 30,000g
Level: 60, Cost: 50,000g
Level: 70, Cost: 100,000g
Level: 90, Cost: 600,000g
Level: 100, Cost: 1,000,000g

Keyboard Movement - Experimental

Season 2 introduces a new experimental version of keyboard-based movement (aka WASD) controls to Last Epoch. Players can change their movement binds through the ‘Controls’ section in the settings menu.

You can enable Keyboard Movement in the Gameplay tab in Settings.
Keyboard movement has a different set of default hotkeys.
Keyboard movement control mapping is independent of Point and Click movement. This means changes to one set of controls won’t affect the other.
You can adjust how movement skills behave with keyboard movement, such as specifying that all movement skills follow your cursor instead of your character’s direction.
Channeled abilities that force continuous movement (e.g. Warpath) will move towards the cursor if a WASD direction is not held. This ensures mechanical parity between input modes (i.e. movement conditional buffs such as “while standing still” benefit each input mode equally).

Inventory Redesign

Keys and Woven Echoes are stackable items that are vacuumed and gathered together and stashed just like crafting materials.
The inventory now has multiple tabs for storing different types of items: Inventory, Keys, Woven Echoes, and Gifting.
These tabs will be hidden initially but will be unlocked once you loot or are gifted the relevant items.
The “Transfer Materials” button has moved below the items tab and is now labeled “Transfer”.
Transferring items will move all transferrable items from the items tab to their associated stash-wide storage.
Woven Echoes will transfer to their tab, which can hold an unlimited number of each Woven Echo.
Keys will transfer to their associated stash-wide tab, which can hold an unlimited quantity of dungeon keys, Arena keys, dungeon charms, and Harbinger eyes.
Resonances will transfer to the Gifting tab, which can hold an unlimited number of resonances.
Crafting materials will still be transferred to material storage as they are currently.

Auto-storing

Added options to send certain item types straight to storage when you pick them up:
The options include common Shards, common Runes, common Glyphs, rare Shards, rare Runes, rare Glyphs, keys, and Woven Echoes.
Players can toggle this setting on or off independently for each item type, allowing you to customize your experience gathering loot.
Picking up the appropriate item types with these settings enabled will still show the same notifications as for transferring items to your stash.
Keys and Woven Echoes are “vacuumed” and will be gathered together and stashed like crafting materials.

Item Pickups

Increased item pickup radius by 40%.
If you click on an item outside the pickup range and begin moving toward it, this movement now stops when you pick up the item. Previously, you continued to the item’s original location after picking it up.
Like before, clicking on another location after clicking on the item will still cause your character to move to the new location, and you will still pick up the item if you go within its pickup range.

Off-hand Weapon & Ring Comparison

Holding CTRL and then holding ALT will show a comparison with the alternate item (right-hand ring/offhand-item) instead of the regular equipped item that it compares to.
This can be accomplished on a gamepad by holding R3 and then L3.

Seasonal Announcements System

Added in-game Seasonal Announcements for the following scenarios:
All Hardcore Deaths with a Top 100 Ladder Position, or Character Level 100.
First to reach each level.
First Aberroth Kill/First Uber Aberroth Kill.
Seasonal Announcements are only seen by players in the same game mode/challenge group:
Softcore.
Hardcore.
Softcore Solo Character/Account Found.
Hardcore Solo Character/Account Found.
Legacy does not see these announcements (only system announcements).

Loot Filter Changes

Rarity conditions now function identically between loot filters and stash priorities.
Legendary items can now be matched by loot filters.
f you have a “hide all” rule in your loot filter, make sure to add a “show Legendary rarity” rule above it!
The common/rare distinction for Shards, Runes, and Glyphs is the same distinction that defines what color the item label is: brick red for rare Shards, white with a gold background for rare Runes and Glyphs.
You can now optionally specify min/max Legendary Potential and/or Weaver’s Will regardless of rarity.
Weaver’s Will min/max will only be compared against Unique or Legendary Erased items (items that have or once had Weaver’s Will).
Legendary Potential min/max will only be compared against non-Erased Unique items (items that could have Legendary Potential).
Reforged Set items will only be matched if Set is selected as a rarity.
Rarity is always applied if anything other than None is selected.

Character Stats Panel

Added new stats to the character sheet: Electrify Chance, Increased Electrify Duration, Melee Attack Speed, Bow Attack Speed.
Fixed the format for the Added Minion Health Regen stat.
Added a Character Stats UI entry for Less Damage Over Time Taken.
Fixed the Character Stats UI entries for Less Damage Taken and Less Damage Taken From Nearby Enemies.
Fixed an issue where Unique items could add the wrong stats on the character stats menu.
Replaced Doom stats with Time Rot stats in character stats menu.

Bug Reporter

Pressing F8 (or holding “Start” on gamepad) can be used to take a screenshot and open the in game bug report tool (e.g. to submit bug reports about tooltip issues).
This will capture any open UI and everything on the screen.
The bug reporter now shows a preview of the screenshot taken when it was opened.
Added a loading indicator to the in-game bug reporter for when requests are pending after hitting “Submit”. Also added an error popup if the request does not go through for some reason.

Game Guide

Added new articles:
The Woven (under Endgame Factions).
Woven Echoes (under Monolith of Fate).
Weaver Tree (under Monolith of Fate).
Champions (under Other).
The old Uniques and Sets page has been broken out into two pages:
Sets (under Items).

Updated many existing pages in accordance with changes made for Season 2.
