Beginner Tips & Tricks
Starting your journey in Last Epoch involves understanding core mechanics like Passives and Skills, and the ability to respec your character. The game offers flexibility in build choices, and knowing how to manage your character's progression is key. This section covers essential advice for new players to optimize their early gameplay experience.
- Passives and Skills: These systems are crucial for character progression. Understanding how to allocate Passive Points and manage Skill experience is vital for any build.
- Respec Guide: If a build isn't working out, respeccing allows you to modify or completely change your character's build without starting over. Chronomancer NPCs, found in locations like The End of Time, facilitate this process for a Gold cost. Look for an icon depicting a head with a brain on your map to locate them.
- Campaign Progression: The campaign introduces game mechanics and spans 9 chapters across 5 timelines. Completing quests yields valuable rewards such as Passive Points, Idol Slots, and Attribute Stats. Check your map (press M) for current rewards in the bottom left corner and quest objectives.
- Leveling Up: Both your character and individual skills gain experience. Character level-ups grant Passive Points, while skill experience is separate for each skill.
- Boss Encounters: Be prepared for challenging bosses like Lagon, the final boss of the Ending the Storm Monolith Timeline. Lagon has a significant one-shot mechanic and other abilities that can wipe out most builds, especially at higher Corruption levels. Knowing positioning is critical for survival.
- Dungeons: Dungeons such as the Lightless Arbor present unique environments with living plants, trees, rocks, and fierce creatures, guarding secrets like the Vault.
