Hello Travelers! Welcome to the 8th day of our Sensational, Week+, Hype-Train, Patch Spectacular *TM, and the reveal of our second dungeon “The Lightless Arbor” releasing with patch 0.8.5 Depths of Eterra. We are very excited to shed some light on what is waiting for you in these ancient depths, but fair warning, for those who would wish to discover these new passages on their own, spoilers lay ahead.




Eterra’s history holds many dark secrets - some so distant they’ve faded into myth. Such is the case of The Lightless Arbor and The Mountain Beneath. Deep under the mountains that house the Last Refuge, quietly lives a time-worn forest full of ancient vegetation, wildlife, and creatures of tremendous power. One of these creatures, a massive Titan made of plant and stone, has awoken from his long slumber. His lumbering beneath the Last Refuge threatens to cause a cave-in that that will burry humanity’s last light. You must venture deep into The Lightless Arbor, walking paths untouched by sunlight for over a thousand years, and save Eterra’s Last Refuge from The Mountain Beneath.




The Lightless Arbor is Eterra’s darkest dungeon - quite literally - and that darkness is home to a horde of ancient creatures who’ve thrived in it for thousands of years. The darkness has made them stronger and more resilient. If you thought saving Eterra was difficult before, try doing it in the dark. In their dark.



Luckily, you will have some assistance from a Lost Spriggan and a magical source of light known as the Pyre Amber. Once activated, the Pyre Amber will travel with you through the dungeon, and at your command illuminate a specified area, then return back to you as needed. Control of the Pyre Amber’s light will be crucial to your success in The Lightless Arbor, as the enemies here are fortified by the darkness - they deal much higher damage, and receive much less in return while shrouded.



While the Pyre Amber is following you, your fates are linked. Take too much damage and the light radius shrinks. If you are to succeed, you’ll have to find a way to replenish the Pyre’s light, or risk being lost in the darkness forever.


While there is little so far revealed about the Titans of Eterra, we do know they were born in the Ancient Era. Humanity remains unsure how many have survived Eterra’s dangerous history up until the Ruined Era, but today we’ve learned that at least one has - and he’s angry. The Void’s corruption has spread into the Lightless Arbor and torn away the ecosystem that has kept him sleeping peacefully for all these years.





The Mountain Beneath has earned his name - made of stone and plant, and towering over 100ft tall. Once you are standing in front of him, watching his mighty fists plummeting down towards you, you might be struck with the question: How does one properly slay a mountain? A good question no doubt, and one we pray you find the answer to somewhere in the depths of The Lightless Arbor.






The Vault of Uncertain fate is a mysterious structure from a similar origin as the Monolith and Eternity Cache, long forgotten by mankind. Its lost legend is tied to the power of a being called Derium who dates back to the beginnings of the Ancient Era.



It has the power to transform gold coins into powerful rewards - but be cautioned - the vault itself is in control of your fate and reward, there are no guarantees of being offered what you are looking for.

When you enter the Vault, you will be presented an offering. If you value what’s presented, you may accept the reward and pay the demanded price. At this point you will be presented another offering, and a choice: continue to invest or enter the Vault. The Vault’s power is limited only to the extent of your sacrifice, and the power of your reward scales deeply with the amount of wealth you’ve parted with. It is important to be strategic about which offers you accept and which you decline, as all choices come with a cost - and the cost of a missed opportunity weighs heavily.



Whether you’ve been with us through our entire journey so far, or you are just joining us near the end, we want to say thank you for your continued support (and hype) for all the cool new content coming in Patch 0.8.5 Depths of Eterra. Join us tomorrow for the 9th and final day of the Phenomenal Week+, Super Hype-Train, Patch Spectacular *TM - It is everyone’s favorite day! Christm PATCH NOTES DAY!

See you then!

Welcome Travelers to day seven of the Unbroken, 9 day, Sequential Hype Week, Patch Extravaganza*TM! In this news post we’re going to be covering the new Arena of Champions!




In a remote stronghold in Heoborea, an abandoned castle once known as Jormun’s Fortress has seen renewed interest. Only its new inhabitants have taken to a new name, Champion’s Gate. A portal has opened within Champions gate, through which only one thing is known, what lies beyond this portal is endless swarms of combatants in every shape, form, and number. The unique nature of this portal has drawn an odd assortment of humans and Wengari to live here, so they may have access to thrilling combat whenever they please.
However, some few have chosen to stay within the realm beyond, as they have found a way to only face those who would be a challenge worthy of their battle lust. These few champions have fallen to their obsession with the ceaseless battles, letting the worst part of themselves take root and grow. In 0.8.5 enter this portal and face the once Champions of Eterra, now, Champions of the Arena.

Arena of Champions will offer an alternative approach to the current Endless Arena, while not replacing it. When accessing the Arena portal you will be presented with the opportunity to either compete in the existing Endless Arena, or the new Arena of Champions. With the Arena of Champions, you will have the option of four different tiers of difficulty, with escalating tiers providing increased difficulty, and greater rewards.



Upon entering the Arena of Champions, you will face off against a number of waves. While progressing through the waves, you will be presented with a choice of additional modifiers to further increase the difficulty and rewards. However, be careful with your choices: In the Arena, all spoils only go to the victor. The final five waves will take place within one of the Arena Champion’s dedicated arenas, with the final wave containing the Champion of the Arena themselves. There are currently three Arena Champions, each a former Traveler from another timeline in which they failed to find purpose through the Epoch and strayed far from their path.



To sum up Vaion the Arsenal in one word: Pride. A skilled blacksmith, and collector of any and all weapons, Vaion never found purpose outside of his natural talents. Instead, he spends his time in the Arena honing his proficiencies to a point beyond mere skill. Fancying himself a true master of arms, he readies his entire armament for a challenger worthy of facing the full extent of his knowledge of blades, maces, shields, and more.



The familiar taste of copper in the air, the sensation of slowed time, and the look of shock and surprise on man, and beast’s faces alike. The Crimson Blade never lost their lust for taking lives, but instead thrives on the thrill of assassinations and the rush that comes with it. Honing herself to a razor’s edge as if a living weapon, The Crimson Blade waits in the shadows for those who may be able to share with her a new experience in the thrill of the kill.



Idolizing storms and avalanches, Alfrig Wolfmaw follows a path of might makes right. Embracing this mentality, Alfrig no longer sees animals as companions, but simply disposable power to be commanded. He has sought out the Arena as a method of strengthening his mind and body to become a force of destruction. In the Arena of Champions, Alfrig Wolfmaw seeks out those with power to continue proving his path is correct through the broken bodies of those who face him.



The Arena of Champions will be available in multiple tiers for adjustable difficulty, with higher tiers providing increased rewards. These Champions have been reigning within Champion’s Gate for decades, collecting the spoils from their victories over countless other adventurers across Eterra. Some of this loot they use to fight, some is kept in reserve. Other trinkets, like rare keys to hidden passages across Eterra, are kept close by as trophies to track their ongoing reign over Champion’s Gate.

This brings to a conclusion today’s news for the Ceaseless, 9 day, Sequential Hype Week, Patch Extravaganza! Make sure to keep your eyes on our socials, as we will be continuing the pre-patch hype with tomorrow’s post on the the second dungeon, The Lightless Arbor!

Welcome Travelers to day six of the Ceaseless, 9 day, Super Hype Week, Patch Spectacle*TM! If you are just joining us this week, be sure to check out all of our Depths of Eterra announcements over the past five days (links below!).

The Depths of Eterra update is continuing to add distinct armor designs for each of the classes, improving the feeling of progression and unique identity. Check out some of the awesome new looks coming into Eterra!


The Acolyte’s new set takes a lightweight approach to a gothic, demonic, and ragged theme - it pairs perfectly with some of our new darker-themed catalysts revealed on the weekend. In order to achieve a realistic result of the different layers of clothes in game, we had to use a combination of simulating the fabric in 3D and manual sculpting.








Here is our newly redesigned low-tier Primalist set, one of the first armor sets you will collect as a new Primalist making their way through Eterra. With a strong wilderness inspiration, it was necessary to focus on fur creation and find solutions to bring that fur to life - while respecting the technical aspects of the engine.

To keep the model on game-budget, we created groups of fur-textured planes and layered them one by one creating depth and volume.








Our new mid-tier Rogue armor set takes on the soul of an outlaw. Its open design leaves mobility completely unhindered, while providing heavier protection while in marksman stance at range - protecting the side profile of the shooter.

Also, check out that hat. That is going to be a popular hat.








Our endgame ready high-tier Sentinel set showcases a beautiful combination of battle-scarred plate and white wolf fur. We would like to believe the fur adds an element of comfort here for our Sentinel’s journey, but how comfortable can you really be in the Depths of Eterra?

The biggest challenge here was bringing together the technical challenges of fur and hard-surface materials into one unified piece.







This concludes day six of the Continuing, 9 day, Super Hype Week, Patch Spectacle*TM. Make sure to check back in tomorrow for the deeper dive on the Arena Champions being introduced in the Depths of Eterra update.

Welcome Travelers, to day Five of the Essential, 9 Day, No Brakes, Hype-Train, Phenomenon… *TM! The Depths of Eterra update brings with it a number of new Wraiths to fight and follow you across time. These updated Wraiths will help breath new “unlife” into the world of Eterra as part of our ongoing efforts to bring models to current standards. Check out some examples below of these new terrifying creatures of necromancy both travelling with you, or facing you in your journey as the Elders shudder at the power you’ve brought into the world.

Summoned Wraiths are a common creation of skilled necromancers, as they are a simple coalescence of soul energy with minimal willpower or physicality.









They are often used for simple tasks or for swarming enemies by sheer numbers. These wraiths spread terror and panic wherever they go.








Wraiths can also appear spontaneously in places with a high amount of soul and/or necrotic activity, these Wraiths are ferocious and uncontrolled. They are not to be taken lightly.










This concludes day Five of the Unbroken, 9 day, No Brakes, Hype-Train, Patch Extravaganza *TM. We would love to hear your Necromantic build ideas that the Elders have shunned, down below! Make sure to check back in tomorrow for our post on the New Armor Set Models being added in 0.8.5 Depths of Eterra!

Welcome Travelers to the third day, and first dungeon post of the Unbroken, 9 day, Sequential Hype Week, Patch Extravaganza*TM! In this news post we’re going to be covering the first of the two new dungeons coming in patch 0.8.5 - Depths of Eterra: its lore, mechanics, and unique dungeon reward.


North of Lake Liath in the Imperial Era, a Lich in the service of the Immortal Empire has unearthed the remains of an Osprix battleground containing countless Solarum made constructs and potent elemental fire. This Lich is now repurposing the constructs for use by the empire and experimenting with elemental fire to create a force known as Soul Embers, threatening to spread fire and destruction. An unlikely ally has made himself known in the form of an unscrupulous imperial agent who seeks to sabotage the operations here under the orders of a rival within the empire - his name: Grin.



Grin is an experienced agent for the Immortal Empire, a faction of undead humans who control most of the world. While Grin could easily rise as high in the ranks of the Empire’s espionage wing as he wanted, he prefers to keep a low profile. Grin makes a habit of making himself an invaluable asset to Imperial Officers of higher rank, getting paid with as many souls as possible by doing their dirty work, and being ready to stab them in the back when better opportunities present themselves.



Grin currently finds himself working for an Imperial Lich of the Immortal Empire and aiding in his attempts to sabotage another commander of the Empire. He wants to keep as low of a profile on this mission as possible, so he has taken to hiring living adventurers to attack his target for him. You are that adventurer. Your task is to explore the depths of this Osprix battleground turned imperial facility known as the Soulfire Bastion, collect as many of these powerful resources called “Soul Embers” within, and face the ferocity of the Fire Lich inside.




In Soulfire Bastion, you will find yourself within a conflux of the Immortal Empire’s vile necrotic energies, and Solarum’s searing fire elements. Any normal adventurer would find themselves quickly torn apart by these energies. However in Soulfire Bastion you will be granted a new ability, courtesy of the imperial agent Grin, to help you survive. Of course, being Grin, the knowledge he shares may have been obtained somewhat recently, and perhaps, without the owner’s knowledge.



Using the Fire Lich’s own research against him you will have at your disposal the Soulfire Shield. The results of the Fire Lich’s research is great, and the Soulfire Shield is impenetrable to the element it is deflecting, no matter the magnitude. This power comes at a cost however - it must be fed additional Soul Embers in order to change attunements between fire and necrotic. As you face the alternating elements within the dungeon, both from the environment and from enemies within, you will need to decide when the cost must be paid and feed more Soul Embers to the shield to protect yourself.



While progressing through Soulfire Bastion, you will gain Soul Embers by destroying various constructs of the Fire Lich, with more powerful enemies granting additional Soul Embers. Use your Soul Embers to continue fueling your Soulfire Shield, but don’t spend them carelessly, these embers are a highly valuable resource to the right buyer


A petty and jealous commander in the Immortal Empire’s forces, he finds the culture and history of the long dead Osprix fascinating. Cremorus has chanced upon a Solarum battleground that has been buried and ignored for centuries. Overwhelmed with excitement at his discovery, he devoted his entire regiment’s forces to the excavation and restoration for use by the empire.



He feels a sharp jealousy towards a particular rival, whose recent campaigns in the frozen north have won him recognition by the Immortal Emperor himself. He channels this jealousy into his work, embracing the burning hatred he feels into his creation of a new form of soul magic he is calling Soul Embers. This discovery has afforded Cremorus an opportunity to finally overtake his rival’s glory, and he’ll not be so quick to let it slip from his fingers.




Should you find yourself having defeated Fire Lich Cremorus, and pockets heavy with Soul Embers, you’ll have the opportunity to speak with one of the parties interested in helping you lighten the load. The Soul Gambler will trade his items for soul embers you’ve acquired by slaying enemies in the dungeon. He’s willing to trade and trade “fairly”. Though, still an imperial at heart, he’s not willing to tell you exactly what you’re buying.

With the Soul Gambler, you’ll have the ability to trade for a specific item type, such as “helmet” or “shield” with the possibility of it being any subtype. However these items are much more powerful than those any regular gambler would offer, with chances of being items no other gambler would dare to offer. As he’s located within enemy lines, he doesn’t have any backroom stores to change stock while you browse, and you only have at your disposal the Soul Embers from your recent conquest, so choose wisely.



This brings to a conclusion today’s news for the Ceaseless, 9 day, Continued Hype Week, Patch Spectacular *TM! Make sure to keep your eyes on our socials, even through the weekend, as we will be continuing the pre-patch hype with tomorrow’s post on the Catalyst Rework!

Welcome Travelers to day two of the Sensational, 9 day, Extended Hype Week, Patch Extravaganza… *TM! The Depths of Eterra update brings with it a number of new Uniques, unlocking a range of brand new build opportunities to carve your way through the enemies of Eterra.

For our more experienced theory crafters out there, we are excited to see what you do when a single idol has the power to change your entire build.

Today is an exciting day to be part of the Last Epoch community!

First off, thank you for being so patient while waiting to hear what is in store for our next big update. That wait is now over, and your patience is about to be rewarded.

Today we are revealing that patch 0.8.5 - Depths of Eterra is only 9 days away, releasing on March 18th. WHAT? 9 DAYS? Fire up the hype train!? We hear you, and we agree. This patch cycle we decided to take a different approach in the way we announce all the cool new things that are coming: We’ve packed them all into a Non-stop, 9 day, Extended Hype Week, Patch Extravaganza *TM. Ok, we are still working on the name.

What does this mean for you? It means that starting today, you’ll get new updates, features, or reveals everyday for 9 days until we hit patch release! To kick off this Non-stop, 9 day, Extended Hype Week, Patch Spectacular *TM we are starting with an overview of patch highlights, and when you can expect more details on each of these highlights.



The Depths of Eterra hold many slumbering secrets and waking dreams. On March 18th, new passages open filled with bellowing fires and necrotic energies, the mountains themselves seem to quake to life, and amongst the chaos, those focused on fame and glory within the walls of the arena will find fierce new foes staking their rights to the name Arena Champions.

In patch 0.8.5 join us in exploring two new dungeons, and face down the fierce new Arena Champions for fame, glory, and well earned rewards.

As patch 0.8.5, Depths of Eterra, is introducing the second and third dungeon to Last Epoch, we want to go over what makes a dungeon a dungeon, what the goals of the dungeon system are, and the future of dungeons in Last Epoch. Our goal with dungeons is to provide repeatable endgame content that exists within the world of the campaign. This means dungeons can, and will, be added to all sorts of areas within the campaign, and you may even be able to encounter dungeons fairly early on.



With dungeons being designed to show up throughout the campaign in Last Epoch, each one is also created with the ability to scale multiple tiers, starting from whenever they first appear in the campaign, all the way to level 100. This allows us to add, through playable content, more lore to the world, as well as provide challenges and rewards for new and experienced players alike.

As these dungeons are added as part of the core world of Eterra rather than being a “side mechanic”, and their lore true to the timeline of the campaign, these dungeons also allow players to play through the campaign using different paths. Rather than each character always following the same quest-to-quest path to get through the campaign reach the “end game”, with the right keys subsequent characters can instead enter a dungeon at one point during the campaign, and end up at a different part of the campaign. This results in an opportunity to have unique and customizable playthrough experiences.



Each dungeon is designed to have its own unique mechanic as well as its own unique rewards. While not all of these rewards may be as “game changing” as Temporal Sanctum’s Eternity Cache, each reward mechanic will provide a distinct method to fuel your character’s progression.

We plan to continue to add dungeons to Last Epoch for as long as we feel there is a good place for them in the world, and we feel we have a good way to implement a new mechanic and reward. However, enough dev talk, we know you’re eager to hear about the new content to explore in patch 0.8.5, and we’re exited to share.



With 0.8.5 we’re going to be adding a number of new Uniques to Last Epoch, continuing to bolster the existing roster. Make sure to keep an eye out for this post to get a peek at some of the new unique items!



North of Lake Liath in the Imperial Era, a Lich of the Immortal Empire has unearthed the remains of an old Osprix battleground. Here he has discovered countless Solarum-made constructs and dangerous supply of potent elemental fire. Understanding the power of what he has discovered, he now works endlessly repurposing the constructs for use by the empire and experimenting with the elemental fire to create a destructive resource know as Soul Embers.

Explore the dangerous excavations of Soulfire Bastion. Put an end to Fire Lich Cremorus’s destructive intent, and don’t forget to fill your boots full of Soul Embers for your trouble. There is more than one individual in Eterra that sees the value in what has been discovered here.



Catalysts have been reworked, both visually and mechanically. These changes present a significant improvement to equipped item rigging, and provide more versatility within the catalyst item type. There is now more options within Catalysts for implicit selection, as well as helping provide for a better gearing system with more options when comparing with other weapon setups.



We know you want to look as powerful as you feel out there in Eterra, and we are committed to that goal. We are introducing updated 3D models for 25 existing Uniques! Join us March 13th to see your favorite Unique items that are being brought to life in-game!



All Wraiths throughout Eterra have received a significant visual update. This includes both Necromancer’s Summon Wraith skill, as well as the various Wraiths found throughout Eterra.



0.8.5 - Depths of Eterra will continue to add to our roster of distinct armor designs. Keep an eye out for this post to get a nice view of some of the new armor sets you can collect for your favorite class.



Jormun’s Fortress, once abandoned for years, has seen renewed activity in the Divine Era. A mysterious portal has opened within its walls, taking brave explorers to arenas around the world to face hordes of deadly enemies. While feared at first, these Arenas quickly became a way to prove one’s ability in combat, and with that it drew the attention of the most talented fighters across Eterra. Over time the fortress adopted a new, more fitting name: Champion’s Gate.



The thrill of the Arena is a calling that speaks to each of us differently. Competition. Glory. Renown. Respect. While some can not hear the call, others in Eterra believe it to be an essential path of growth and a way of life. Others though, are drawn even further towards the calling and the quest for glory is all they now see. They remain within the Champions Gate, refusing to return to Eterra, waiting to finally find a worthy opponent who is capable of a proper fight, and a proper death.

Eterra’s history holds many secrets - some stretching so far back that they fade into myth. Such is is the case of The Lightless Arbor and The Mountain Beneath. Now, deep in the Ruined Era, during Eterra’s darkest hours, humanity will have to pay the price for that lost knowledge. Deep under the mountains that house the Last Refuge, there is an underground forest which has hidden away creatures and relics dating as far back as before the Ancient Era. One of these creatures - a massive construct made of plant and stone, has awoken - his lumbering beneath the Last Refuge threatens to cause a cave-in that would bury humanity’s last light.

Venture deep into The Lightless Arbor, walking paths untouched by sunlight for over a thousand years. Find safe passage through the dark forgotten forests and caverns, eventually confronting The Mountain Beneath. Within these depths, discover a mysterious vault; which unknown to the world for so long, still holds vast stores of unknown treasures.



On the 17th you’ll be able to get your hands on all of the juicy details of changes coming in patch 0.8.5 Depths of Eterra.

On the 18th, the passages open, the mountains lurch to life, and the champions stand awaiting challengers. Get into Last Epoch and discover these challenges, as well as their rewards.



With this patch preview concluded, we come to an end for today’s news and announcement the Unbroken 9 day, Extended Hype Week, Patch Spectacular *TM kickoff! Make sure to keep your eyes on our socials, as we will be continuing with tomorrow’s post on new Uniques in 0.8.5 - Depths of Eterra!
