Patch 1.2 Timeline, 1.1 Event Updates, and Cycle Poll
Greetings Travelers,
Over the last week, we have been reading and discussing your feedback about our announced plans for the Event Cycle launching on September 19th and Last Epoch’s next large update targets. We want to continue this discussion with you today and get your feedback directly.
We are holding a Poll for the next 48 hours regarding our Cycle Event and will act in accordance to your input. We think the details of this post are important for making an informed decision, but we want to make sure that the poll doesn’t get lost in the mix.
As always, we are working closely with community feedback to identify the best path forward for future updates to Last Epoch, and it’s clear that the community is eager for key improvements: expanded end-game content, better onboarding for new players, dungeon improvements, continued performance optimizations, and, of course, more balance and variety.
With this in mind, and after closely monitoring the ARPG landscape for later this year, we’ve decided to adjust our development priorities and timelines. Instead of focusing on some of the originally planned content for patch 1.2, we will prioritize delivering on the key improvements listed above. To achieve this, we’ll be moving much of the content originally planned for patch 1.3 into patch 1.2 and deliver a large, rescoped patch in Q1 of 2025. We acknowledge that the irregular Cycle duration is not ideal and aim for more consistent Cycle cadence going forward. However, we believe that prioritizing these high-demand updates will provide more value than adhering to a strict schedule at this stage.
That said, we are going to get some great updates out to you earlier with the upcoming 1.1 Event, and we believe a Cycle reset coinciding with this release may be favorable to the playerbase.
The Imperial Uprising Event
On September 19th, we are releasing some exciting updates that (based on the feedback we received from the poll) may or may not include a fresh start to the standard environment.
To remind you of some of the updates coming next week:
Event Modifiers:
NEW: Favor Gain Bonus (Community Requested)
Reputation Gain Bonus
Gold Drop Rate Bonus
Random Unique Drop Rate Bonus
Additional Undead Enemy Spawns in Monoliths
20+ New Shrine types
Addition of Loot Lizards
Dungeon Quality of Life (”QoL”) Updates
Stash Tab Priority System
Merchants Guild Search Improvements
Undead Enemy Updates
And More
We’ll be sharing more details of the content coming in the Cycle Event - The Imperial Uprising this Friday the 13th.
We would love to hear from you if you’d like a Cycle reset at this time. This means all of your existing characters move to Legacy and are still entirely playable in that environment, and you have a chance to restart new characters in the Cycle 1.1 environment with a fresh economy.
Thanks again for your support of Last Epoch, for taking the time to give your feedback, and for helping make the game the best it can be. Keep an eye out for some additional polls and surveys coming soon so your voice can be heard for future developments. Our team is excited and working more efficiently and better than ever to get the next big updates for Last Epoch in your hands.

Last Epoch Hotfix 1.1.6.2 Notes
Bug Fixes
Fixed a bug which could cause Fire Aura to stop dealing damage
Fixed an issue where targeting for skills were broken for gamepad
Last Epoch Patch Notes 1.1.6
Changes
Controller
Turning is now allowed while casting skills, even if you cannot move, by pointing the left stick to the direction you want to turn.
When using a controller the Radial Menu now opens when pressing the assigned button once, instead of holding the button. It can be closed by pressing the button again.
Fixed Sanctuary of Eterra UI Panel not working with controllers.
Opening the Inventory on controller now highlights the last active location.
Added fixes for navigating the factions UI while using a controller.
Fixed collision issues when navigating the Shattered Road.
Improved map panning with controller. Map will now pan slower when zoomed in and faster when zoomed out. No change at default zoom level.
UI Changes
Fixed Item Tooltip position when hovering over items on the ground.
Fixed a bug where if the player clicked on an item within pickup range they would move to that item's location after picking it up.
Fixed a bug that would stop you from moving when clicking a button over items dropped in the world.
Updated Blessing swap confirmation to only play the animation if changing to a new Blessing.
Fixed a bug where the Blessing panel could still be interacted with after confirming a selection.
Fixed an issue where loot labels could be displayed too large.
Fixed an issue where the "Display Damage Numbers" setting's UI checkbox would not visually toggle on, even though it was actually updating the setting.
Removed Waypoint indicator from the Graveyard location on the World Map. This location never had a Waypoint.
Fixed an issue where the map pan speed was not matching the mouse movement speed when zoomed in or out.
Fixed some overlap issues with Circle of Fortune prophecy stars.
Bug Fixes
Forgotten Knight Faction
Fixed Forgotten Knight Faction data loss bug which would occur when a formerly hardcore character dies.
This fix unfortunately does not restore the previously lost data however the team is looking into ways to address this separately and has a log of all affected players. We will update players when this fix has been deployed.
Fixed a bug where the Rank 7 bonus from Forgotten Knights was not granting additional Corruption per Gaze of Orobyss.
Fixed a bug where Forgotten Knights faction could be progressed despite not meeting the Corruption requirement when killing a Harbinger. This could happen if an alt character killed a level 90 Timeline Harbinger to join the faction and that Timeline had not yet been done previously.
Monoliths, Arenas, Dungeons
Fixed cases where Arenas would not advance to the next wave.
Fixed several Objective and Shrine spawner issues in many Monolith zones and added spawners to fix bugs or improve the play experience of these zones.
Added Patrol Objective spawners in Imperial Barren Slums, Imperial Warcamp and Imperial Boreal Forest.
Added more Shrine spawn points to Bloodworks, Festering Sewers, and Hidden Oasis.
Added more Boss Objective spawn points to Haunted Reef.
Fixed several issues in Lightless Pits and Jagged Outskirts.
Fixed Patrol Objective spawners in Serpentine Desert and Willow Marsh.
Fixed Patrol spawners in the Burning Forest and Festering Sewers.
Fixed several Spire and Player spawn points in Forgotten Graves.
Removed Solarum Ascent and Canyon Stronghold from the Monolith pool as the designs were old and no longer fit our Monolith standards. We're making new zones with similar aesthetics to replace them.
Void Spires no longer spawn enemies.
Spires stop targeting the player when they have not been in combat for a short time, so these Void Spires spawning enemies would often create a situation where it was impossible for the Spire to stop targeting the player.
Fixed an issue where the Temple Guardian in the Monolith got attacked by other enemies.
Fixed an issue where the totems during Gaspar Husk fight were registered as allies.
Fixed an issue where Idols in Void Harton encounter would incorrectly show where their abilities are coming from.
General
Adjusted Nemesis functionality: If a Nemesis dies after you have died and there are no other living players in the area, it wont drop its items. This is so it can be fought again in the future to obtain those items.
Fixed a bug where enemies killed by Lightning Bolts from Unbalanced Scale node in Smite had an incorrect on hit and death VFX.
Improved performance for several VFX and ailments.
Fixed an issue where having too high attack speed could cause Flurry to skip attacks.
Fixed an issue where using a Rune of Ascendance would consume the assigned glyph.
Fixed a bug where the upgrade button in the Forge would not show up for a certain shard when using the Rune of Refinement.
Fixed an issue where the Doom Pulses from Celestial Doom unique staff could sometimes be destroyed by ground colliders.
Fixed an issue where some eggs in The Coral Pools during the “To Shell With It” quest were not interactable.

Fixed a bug where some visuals would display over the Bulwark of Ruin cosmetic shield
Hotfix 1.1.6.1
Fixed an issue where the Coral Pools zone could fail to load
Announcing 1.1 Refresh & Cycle Event - The Imperial Uprising
Greetings Travelers!
Prepare for the Imperial Uprising Event and celebrate with an awesome sale!
We are thrilled to announce the Imperial Uprising Cycle Event, which will launch on September 19th at 11 a.m. CST and run through October 20th. Plus, we are kicking off this event with a 20% discount on all editions of Last Epoch.
What’s coming with the Imperial Uprising Event? - Steam Deck Verification & Improvements - New and Updated Shrines - Quality of Life Improvements to Dungeons - Loot Lizard Encounters - Stash Tab Priority System - Improvements to Bazaar Search - Month-Long Event Modifiers
We will discuss more details in the Patch Notes for the Event Cycle & Refresh event on Tuesday, September 17th, at 11 a.m. CST.
The Cycle Refresh
The Imperial Uprising brings a full cycle refresh, transitioning all Cycle 1.1 - Harbingers of Ruin characters to the Legacy Cycle and giving everyone a fresh start. Ladders will be reset, and the economy will begin anew, leveling the playing field and setting the stage for new challenges and victories.
Imperial Uprising Event Details
We are launching the first Cycle Event, The Imperial Uprising, on September 19, 2024, 11:00 AM CST and continuing through to October 20, 2024. This is not patch 1.2 (though we are excited to talk about that in future posts)! It is just the continuation of Patch 1.1—Harbingers of Ruin with the following updates & changes being laid out.
The Imperial Uprising patch will come with a Cycle Refresh. This means that all Cycle 1.1 - Harbingers of Ruin characters will be moved to the Legacy Cycle, Ladders will be reset, the bazaar will reset, and a fresh economy will commence. Abberoth, this time, will not be gated from Legacy or offline by another kill event since he was unlocked during the 1.1 Cycle. Also, as this is not the start of a new Patch Cycle but a refresh and reset of the economy of 1.1, with a bit of spice added, we are not planning to include any balance changes.
During the Imperial Uprising event, players will participate by killing Skeletons—all manner of them. The Immortal Emperor’s head has gotten a little too big for his crown, and we must keep him in check. We will post the community’s progress on our socials so you can follow along with the culling of bones. There may even be a reward for such things.
Along with those changes, the following Cycle-Wide event modifiers will be enabled for all players, including Legacy and new Cycle characters:
- Increased Faction Reputation Gain - Increased Gold Gain - Increased Unique Drop Rates - Increased Undead Spawn Rates in Monoliths
The cycle will continue once the month-long event has finished, but the modifiers will revert to their original state. The updates will remain, and players’ characters will stay in the cycle until either the next cycle event or patch 1.2.
Why a Cycle Refresh?
We have heard you loud and clear about wanting an economy reset, and we agree that this is beneficial for multiple reasons.
The first reason is that game difficulty should be balanced by player skill and effort, not by someone’s ability to exploit game mechanics or violate Terms of Service. When these things happen, we understand the frustration they can cause, and rest assured, we take it very seriously.
The second reason is quality of life. We have several requests that would improve the game’s quality of life, and waiting for a full-cycle patch to deploy them is longer than we want the community to have to wait. While the ability to deploy Cycle changes won’t always happen, this upcoming event seems like the perfect time to do so.
Lastly, feedback. Quite simply, we have many things we want to implement sooner rather than later, and our players have been offering great suggestions on which we want to act. We feel a Cycle event & refresh would be an ideal way to implement some of these changes and gather feedback for other related features that we are potentially looking to move forward with in subsequent Cycles. As with all new ideas, your feedback is one of the most important things to us, so let us know what you think of these new features on our Forums and Discord.
Steam Deck Verified
Fans of the Steam Deck, ROG Ally, and other handheld devices rejoice! As we continue to improve the overall experience for controller play, it naturally comes about that support for handheld devices is right around the corner. We are excited to announce that on September 19th, Last Epoch will be Steam Deck Verified.
Thank you for supporting Last Epoch and everyone on the Eleventh Hour Games team. Without it, we couldn’t be making games with you all, and it means the world to us. If you already own Last Epoch, you can continue to support its development by upgrading your copy of Last Epoch through the in-game shop!
We look forward to seeing you in Eterra, Travelers.
Last Epoch Patch Notes 1.1.5 Redeploy
Hello Travelers, Earlier this month we released patch 1.1.5.

Last Epoch Patch Notes 1.1.4
Balance Changes
Our recent fix to cases where conditional damage bonuses were applying incorrectly had some unintended consequences, which heavily impacted specific builds in ways players could not have anticipated. To correct this, we're buffing these skills or effects to restore the power they had before this fix.
Witchfire
Base damage increased from 300 necrotic and 300 fire to 600 necrotic and 600 fire.
Grimhilde's Domain now grants Witchfire 2% more damage per 1% ignite chance with fire skills (from 1% per 1%), and 4% more damage per 1% damned chance with necrotic skills (from 3% per 1%). It now has alt text clarifying that these damage modifiers are additive with each other, but multiplicative with all other modifiers (this is not a change of functionality).
Damned Overload's description has been updated to "You deal 2% more Damned damage to enemies per 1% missing health on you and 1% more damned damage per 2% missing health on the target" (previously stated it was giving 1% more Damned damage to enemies per 2% missing health on you). Its functionality has always matched this new description.
Earthquake
All nodes which referenced the "initial hit" now instead describe it as the "initial slam". This is still referring to the damaging slam of Earthquake, as opposed to its Aftershocks. This clarification was made so that we could specify whether these effects apply generic more damage or specifically more hit damage. No functionality has changed in this regard, these are only clarifications.
The Harder They Fall's description has been updated to clarify that it gives more hit damage for the initial slam (previously was ambiguous about whether it's more damage or more hit damage).
Seismic Smash's description has been updated to clarify that modifiers to Aftershock damage on this tree apply to the initial slam (previously stated "Increases to Aftershock damage on this tree apply to the initial hit").
Shatterquake grants 40% more hit damage to chilled or frozen enemies. It was previously described as "30% more damage to chilled or frozen enemies", and was actually giving two separate multipliers: 30% more hit damage to chilled enemies, and 30% more hit damage to frozen enemies. It was always a bonus exclusive to hits, but it being applied as two separate multipliers was unintended.
Rupture grants 15% more initial slam damage (from 12%).
Earthquake now has a damage effectiveness of 700% (from 350%).
Earthquake's Aftershocks now have a damage effectiveness of 200% (from 100%).
Changes
UI
Corrected some monster modifiers not being capitalized correctly.
Controller
Gamepad can now navigate to Pet additional slots (the little slot that augments the pet).
Allowed pressing R3 on a gamepad to pin/unpin quests on the map.
Localization
Japanese, Chinese and Korean language improvements.
Skills
Made the cooldown recovery indicator on ability icons show up when recovering additional charges, but at 65% of normal opacity.
The off cooldown flash still occurs correctly when going from 0 to 1 charge and there's no equivalent flash when going from 1 charge to 2, etc.
Bugs
Aberroth
Fixed an issue that allowed accessing Aberroth without having joined the Forgotten Knight faction.
Skills and Passives
Acolyte
Drain Life
Fixed a bug where Necrotic Feast allowed you to drain mana from yourself or other players. People are friends, not food!
Ghostflame
Fixed a bug where Ghostflame would display incorrect active and inactive tags on the skill panel.
Fixed a bug where Fuel of Anguish was giving critical strike multiplier per 100 missing health, instead of critical strike chance per 100 missing health.
Summon Wraith
Echoes Inside has had its description updated, as it was contradicting its statline (it summons two additional wraiths, not three).
Mage
Disintegrate
Fixed a bug where Lucomancer's stacks could fall off earlier than intended.
Mage Passives
Sun and Storms typo fix.
Sorcerer Passives
Clarified that Lost Knowledge triggers on direct casts only.
Fixed Spelling of both versions of the Talons of Grandeur blessing.
Primalist
Earthquake
Snowcrash now probably mentions it consumes mana rather than adds a mana cost.
Fury Leap
Fixed a bug where Fury Leap did not use cold VFX when the skill is converted to cold.
Gathering Storm
Thunderous Strikes typo fix.
Swarmblade Form
Locust Master no longer mentions it buffs your Locusts, as that functionality was removed.
Werebear Roar
Now uses the same text about cooldown recovery as Warcry.
Wolf Howl (from Summon Wolf)
Now correctly mentions in the description how much this heals you and allies.
Rogue
Falconry
Side by Side now correctly says Falcon Strike.
Removed the extra "your" from Rending Talons.
Lethal Mirage
Sundering Blows typo fix.
Net
Tinkerer's Combo now correctly says the effect can trigger once per 2 seconds (from twice per 2 seconds).
Sentinel
Forge Guard
Fixed a bug where Master of Arms did not grant its +2 strength with a two handed weapon if you were wielding a spear.
Shield Rush
Desynchronous Charge now properly states it removes the Traversal tag.
Dark Regression increased mana cost now properly shows as a downside.
Forge Guard Passives
Champion of the Forge threshold bonus now more clearly states that it grants additional critical strike multiplier while wielding a 2 handed weapon.
Fixed missing ´e´ in Master of Arms description.
UI
Fixed a bug which caused The Last Ruin, The Age of Winter, or Spirits of Fire timelines to show no "current blessing" when replacing a blessing in the confirmation window.
Fixed an issue where the login panel's title background could extend past the edge of the panel.
Fixed the height of NPC chat messages. Multiline NPC chat messages should no longer overlap.
Fixed a bug where a summoned crab was not highlightable, therefore players could not see the crabs name.
Fixed an issue leading to waypoints sometimes blocking projectiles.
Loot Filter
Fixed the display categories for "Increased Area for Melee Area Skills (of Conquest), Mana and Mana Regen (Manaforged), and Mana and Mana Spent Gained as Ward (Transfusing) affixes in the Loot Filter Rule Affix Condition UI.
Controller
In the battle with Aberroth, if the player is using a controller, the correct health bar is displayed on the UI. Additionally, the orb in this battle is not an auto-target for the controller.
Fixed an issue where the UI menu controller could block player movement.
Fixed an issue with gamepad where pressing the specialize button in the skill tree sometimes would not work.
Enemies
Reworked the Winged Fire Boss abilities that created the firelines. It should be much more fair and avoidable now.
Made the Winged Fire Boss projectile that goes out and back destroy itself when the enemy dies.
Reworked Avalanche spell on the Wengari Patriarch to be less punishing and gave it a new, more clear indicator.
Fixed a bug where the Wengari Patriarch and Matriarch had ward thresholds in the monolith.
Fixed a bug where the screen shake from the Void Horror Slam was a couple seconds late.
Fixed a bug where the Abomination Boss death animation would not play.
SFX
Fixed the SFX for the MTX Embermane Tiger.
Settings
Fixed an issue where the VSync dropdown was sometimes interactable when Limit FPS was enabled. These settings are mutually exclusive.
Fixed layout issues with checkboxes in the Graphics settings panel.
Fixed FPS slider labels making it look like the value was negative.
Removed checkbox for unsupported motion blur setting.

Last Epoch Hotfix 1.1.3.1 Notes
We have received a few reports of Forgotten Knight faction reputation being reset. As such we are reverting the recent change to SCF/SAF migration as the suspected cause in an effort to prevent players losing progression while we investigate.
Changes
Reverted change: When you abandon the SCF challenge, the most progressed Forgotten Knights faction between SCF & SAF will be carried over.
Last Epoch Patch 1.1.3 Notes
Changes
Nemesis
Froststeel Nemesis
Reduced the area of the Orbiting Cold DoT ability.

Nemesis Panel
Improved UX when closing panel with an item in the nemesis swap slot.
If you manually press the close button while an item is in the Egg of the Forgotten swap slot, it will be returned to the inventory.
If you close the whole nemesis panel while an item is in there (for example by pressing escape or closing the game), then the item will remain there, but the next time you open the Egg of the Forgotten panel, the swap sub panel will be open with the item visible.
Corruption Catch-Up Buffs
The result of these changes is that if you get one Timeline up to 300 Corruption, and then go to a fresh Empowered Timeline, completing a single Echo will create a Shade Echo next to it, that will boost that Timeline straight to 296 Corruption.
Bonus Corruption based on the difference between the highest Corruption Timeline and the current Timeline is now always 95% of the difference (from scaling based on distance and being capped at 60%)
When the difference between the highest Corruption Timeline and the current Timeline is greater than 40, or you have at least 8 Gaze of Orobyss, and the current Echo Web does not contain a Shade Echo, then completing an Echo will create a Shade Echo next to it.
Death Screen
Added the following info to the death screen:

Bug Fixes
Harbingers of Ruin
Fixed an issue where killing the Harbingers in an Aberroth boss run would erroneously complete Kill Any Boss prophecy targets, which would drop rewards that may be missed when being sent to Aberroth.
Experience granted by the original timeline boss is granted by the harbinger instead if one spawns. This prevents an abuse case where you could repeatedly kill the timeline boss for xp and then portal out before killing the harbinger to farm favour (from xp).
Fixed a bug where void puddles would not dispel fire puddles they spawned on top of
Nemesis
Fixed a bug where some of the Stormsteel Nemesis' abilities would persist after they die.
Fixed a bug where some of the Froststeel Nemesis' abilities would be angled if cast on a slope.
Fixed a bug where taking Replacing an Egg of the Forgotten with an MG tagged unique, could result in its tag changing to CoF if it gained legendary potential. This only occurred if the CoF bonus increased the legendary potential it gained.
Animations & VFX
Fixed VFX and Animations for various enemies
Fixed Aberroth's Absorbing Chaos ability (Big Donut before Timeshattering Slam) to make it fade out in the final phase, rather than instantly disappear.

Fixed a bug where Dancing Strikes's Rhythm could fail to trigger when using Windmill Ballet or Hidden Blade.
Fixed a bug where abilities would sometimes fail to cast due to mana cost in online play, even if you had an effect from your skill tree that makes it free when out of mana.
Fixed an issue with Ring Of Shields where the Shields were not visible.
Fixed a bug where Runemaster's Never Late's threshold bonus was not doubling the additional critical strike chance of its buff, and was instead causing the Never Late buff to intermittently apply to spells without using a traversal skill.
Systems
Fixed an error leading to reports of new offline characters not saving progress.
Fixed an issue where required level to forge an item was erroneously including sealed, experimental, and personal affixes.
