The monolith system is an excellent example of how the devs listen to the community and change game systems based on feedback. In its original form you chose from two timeline maps when you finished a previous map, but players wanted more control over planning their reward hunting. The web system takes the original intent of stacking map difficulty and merges it with the request for additional player control. The devs always seem to have neat ideas on how to implement things.
Yes, I would say that the whole design of the game is on top. It is a pity that they do not have enough hands and money to implement it qualitatively. Everyone saw online at 40k, which is 2 times higher than the torchlight and is comparable to Undecember on release, but there is no monetization in the game, and this is very bad.
That's the biggest game deterrent losing a fucking reward when you die in echo that is so stupid.
@@AbstractGaze 1.0 released ! a lot of gamers, monetization . i see a bright future for this awesome game :)
I've only started playing LE with 0.9 and watched quite a few "guide" videos on endgame, but this is the first time I've ever truly understood the Corruption mechanic and its implications.
Great job at putting yourself in the shoes of players, who are really new to the game and might still be unfamiliar with things that others consider "basic information"!
I agree. This is by far the best monoliths guide video out right now.
This game just keeps getting better. It's the perfect balance of easy to pick up, while at the same time having deep complex mechanics and customization.
I've been watching a lot of Last Epoch content lately. And a lot of content creators that do exclusive or mostly exclusive LE content.
None had a better or more detailed video about monoliths than this.
Ziggy has a real knack for explaining mechanics.
Thanks for the video, man.
been playing for 700 hours and i still learned something. great video; liked and subbed
Thank you for a clear and descriptive guide with context for each section. So many other guides gloss over things, leave out details and provide no context for why things are important.
omg before I watched you I watched at least 4 different videos explaining how to have the Corruption because I just started doing Monolith and I just want to have an idea before I start so I will not waste time doing wrong things and you are the only content creator explained it very well and clear even I'm just listening and doing other stuff! lol I don't know why the other video's comments saying they explained it well but it doesn't. your video is already a year ago but still helped me a lot I hope you make more in the futures update!
As always, your guides are clear and concise, and help to make something complicated much more accessible. Thanks for all your work.
Great video, best Monolith guide I came up with. Thank you for your effort
Hoping you'll do a review of the game sometime soon ever since the guild/multiplayer systems came out. I value your opinion on ARPGs moreso than other YTers and PoE streamers. Thanks for the vid!
Epic quality guide right here. Thanks Captain!
Just picked this up again. Lvl 25 beast master having great fun. Awesome guide.
Just got to 32 beast master is great.
Just into this game to hold me over until Diablo 4 launches and I fell in love with it, great game.
same
So you still playing D4 or have you come back to the light side?
If you're still playing this, and you go back to D4, something's wrong with you. lmao If you want to play another ARPG, and don't care if it's more complex than LE, try out Path of Exile. PoE's endgame is virtually endless with a TON of systems.
@@LaughingSkull451 D4 looks way better and the skills are way cooler. The itemization is the only thing this game has that beats it.
🍻 Nice work on this @ZiggyD
I’m only at level 42 on my necro but I’m so excited now to get to endgame and do all this content , thanks for the informative video
and how do you feel about dying in echo and loosing your rewards?
great mono overview, thx Zig!
Learned quite a bit! Thanks!
Huge information for my adventure, much appreciated as always sir!
What agreat video my guy. Thank you very much!
Yayyyyy so much less work I need to do, thanks Daddy Z. Time to make another nightbot command!
Thank you for your guide! Very helpful
Great video. Very insightful! There's just a few questions it leaves open (if I didn't miss you saying it):
* How can you reduce Corruption?
* How many levels above your character's should the area be at most? I know in PoE there's diminishing return on XP gain etc. And maybe there's other reasons. (I realize this might not be a question specific to monoliths, but it was one that came up while watching this)
Killing orobyss close to the crystal can reduce corruption, youll see the reduction ones more as your corruption goes up.
There is diminishing xo returns (10levels difference I believe) but I don't think it matters too much, imo do as high a content as you can/want.
best guide on youtube ! thank you
nice monolith guide,, wish next content will be character build guide especially druid
I love the idea of this! It's like Delve + Atlas in its own, unique way.
Can't wait to get started with LE at some undefined point in the future when I'm not obsessed with other games >.>
Thanks for the elaborate guide Ziggy!!
Awesome ! Just got to the monolith so perfect timing.
Nice video!
First! Hope fatherhood is treating you well mate.
It is mate. Today I worked on this video while Tully laid on the desk in front of my keyboard making cute noises and smiling at me, it was awesome 😊
@@ZiggyDGaming Pure joy
@@ZiggyDGaming Gotta start training the nerdlings young. 👶
@@SleepDepJoel15 at first I read nurglings.... 😂
@@flavoi1 Honestly, that's exactly what they are after spending a day in kindergarten putting strange objects in their mouths and passing them around to friends.
Great video!!!!
This so helpful. I was thinking it was good practice to full clear all the maps like it was PoE. Thank you Ziggy for your concise and clear guides.
You don't full clear maps in PoE though.
@@SlickSpingo True, not intentionally at least. Most of PoE's maps are quite linear though and naturally allow for easy full clear. Not so much with LE.
This was very helpful, thanks. The only thing I’m still unclear on is wtf does stability do? I see it unlocks the three missions, but what is the significance of that?
So is it better to grab the resistance blessings and stack other stats on actual gear and idols or vice versa?
I really like this game but its crafting and gearing system is a bit complex/intricate for me when it comes to BiSing your character
Can we see the build somewhere that you used at the beginning footage? I noticed I am using pretty much the exact same setup but your ward generation is crazy. Is that an affix or an idol or something? I want it! :D
My only desire is to see additional timelines. Maybe one per item type for farming purposes. Like one for bows, 2hand swords ect. But If not I love the monos alrrady
I dunno, it took me a couple days to figure out to click the "quest" links on the left side of the map in the end game.
Yeah I'm dumb, but hopefully this helps others who want to progress in the first echo but just keep resetting it.
what i dont get is why some echos inside the timelines never unlock. Im lvl 70 atm and the lvl 56 timeline still has "grey" maps that I cant access, when i complete the map that links to it i just get the same map ready to do again.
What about that chest on right side when you finiah excho? Is it stackpiling all the goods or should i juat open it after every echo?
Well said mate
I've unlocked upgraded monoliths but really struggling to beat them without dying and losing rewards.
What's my best bet?
I want to farm the scurry helmet but can't easily do so. Not surehow to easily improve my build right now to make things a bit easier?
Hey. So I beat the Husk of Gaspar, I have completed all other timelines but nothing happened, my monos didnt change to 100 lvl ... is this it? I'm at a bit of a loss and don't know if I need to do anything else to further progress in the endgame or is this it?
Wait, do you guys actually get the +1 All Attributes reward at the end of the last story boss? I thought its not working?
what an info dump, great guide.
ok ive completed 78 monoliths in level 58 and i cant get into a new one ? my meter doesnt move im lost wtf is this ?
Cant wait for the 1.0 release or a full full release(sub classes included)
Are you also going to make a video showing the character you made for the beginner guides so we can see what gearing looks like? Like where you get your resists, how much armor you ended up with etc.
I will if I have a chance this week! Timing might be a little tight preparing for the PoE league reveal stream but I'll try!
very informative! couple questions though. where to find echo quests and how to unlock the bridges between monoliths, or how to complete a timeline?
As you complete echos you fill up a stability bar at the top of your monolith screen, when you get to each of the 3 quest echo markers on the stability bar you can run the quest echo on the left hand side of monolith screen. Beat them all to move across bridge to next area.
Woot, 1000th like. I'm the man.
Hello sir, any chance you could share your build?
what is the best/optimal corruption value to farm at ? with an ok build, is like 300-350 enough? or is it insignificantly small
Corruption makes a pretty big difference in my experience so far but the answer to that question is probably "the highest corruption your build can reasonably farm". I'd say push it then back off when it seems too much. 300+ is a good effort if your build is handling that! Things definitely start getting spicy after 200.
I have a question not covered in any of the monolith videos I've watched and I haven't found any decent explanation online just googling it. How does the question regarding focusing on the past or the future affect the monolith from the Fall of the Outcasts timeline? I just completed that timeline for the first time, and didn't know which choice to make, and everything I've found regarding it has been painfully vague. I know I'm missing something there, but I can't figure out what it is.
It used to pick which timeline you unlocked but now it doesnt do anything except act as flavour
Can you unlock monoliths in the empowered versions? Say if i were to rush to empowered monos on the right side (Black Sun) but want to unlock The stolen Lance at some point, do i have to go back to normal version of Fall of the Outcasts and do the quests to unlock Stolen Lance, or can i do it via empowered version of Fall of the Outcasts?
You can skip them in normal and just do them in Empowered yep!
Tips for doing this in hardcore?
thank you for making this not too long! I do have questions. Can I do legendary monolith with subpar items if I do not chase increase corruption? And in case that I am 'stuck' with the legendary monolith, can I go back to normal ones?
You can swap back and forth at will so give it a try and see! Even if you can just barely manage it's worth it as the loot is much better
thank you!@@ZiggyDGaming
thanks
How do I find the bosses ?!
On my first play trough I completely missed Blessing Rewards. How do I go back to get those rewards?
I´m playing a Hammerdin Paladin so getting the "Wrath of Reyah" (1.5% to 3% of Throwing Damage Leeched as Health) Blessing is kinda crucial to the build. I see I can do "The ransacked camp" quest currently but have no idea how far in I am, just that I killed a couple Shade of Ourobyss Bosses to unlock higher levels. Or has that nothing to do with the Quest Missions and Blessing Rewards? Any help greatly appreciated.
You simply have to kill the final boss of that timeline to get blessings - which is the third quest echo. The blessing screen pops up when you kill the boss so it's not possible to miss it! You may not get the specific blessing you want the first go but fingers crossed you do!
@@ZiggyDGaming Thx for the help Ziggy. I´m on my 3rd try now, still not the right Blessing but +41 Life ain´t half bad. Edit: 4th time I got the blessing with a whopping +2,7% Throwing Leech. Thx again Mate. =)
i cant get passed the first island. I beat the boss 3x have 3 rings, so wtf?
Honestly best ARPG ever, better than Diablo and Path of Exiles!
Do you prefer elemental nova over static orb? I've been loving static orb. I have the gear for elemental nova but haven't tried it out.
Elemental nova is cheaper and spammier, which works really well for my particular skill setup. Static orb is strong and a popular choice in slightly less cast speed oriented versions of Lightning Blast builds. The orbit version can be pretty darn nice too.
so should you get the stability all the way full before doing the boss ?
It's not necessary or worthwhile to fill it up most of the time. If your echoes are getting really hard and you want boss kills it may be worth it in good map layouts with lots of monsters.
Question, as I have not done end game here. Last Epoch has been stated as a game that you can put together a build yourself if you pay attention to what each item is giving you and stack it well. That idea usually falls apart in the end game portion. What do you do if during this playthrough your character is decent for a while but even with the blessings you quickly get to a point you can't beat the monolith you are on? When you die do you lose all the modifiers as well? If not then how do you go about progressing or is it just the end of the road for that character and time for a new build? OR do you typically get to experience a lot of the monolith end game with any build before it starts getting rough?
Dying in an echo just loses you the reward for that echo. You can still try again or go a different route and keep progressing. Sometimes you'll die and realise that route had a bad modifier for you and it was a bit too much so it can be a hint to try another route. At the other end respeccing to imrpove your build is pretty easy in this game.
Most builds will be able to progress through regular monolith pretty well. Empowered is where you have to start getting more serious (but gear and blessings get a lot better too!)
@@ZiggyDGaming I mean I understand that all builds are not going to perform to the same amount in the top end game which in most games I don't care about as you can do all the game's content and have a chance at anything just not a higher number tier, but in this game if you can't reach level 200 corruption you cannot have a chance to even get some pieces you may be going for. That is why I was concerned as if 200 corruption requires you changing your entire build you made to be a meta build and only a handful of builds are strong enough to make it to that point, then I'm missing content.
I am somewhat disappointed that the monolith seems to be completely character-bound. As an altoholic, is there anything I can do to get my new characters "caught up" with the empowered monoliths faster? In PoE you can basically jump right into yellow or early red maps as soon as you complete the main story, if your build and gear are good enough. In LE, do you need to clear through all the normal difficulty monoliths again on every new character? Or is there some way to skip them or at least make them faster/easier using your old characters? (Other than just handing down better gear.)
You only need to do the LVL 90 timelines so you can skip half of the others on the way. That helps but I agree I'd like to see em make it account wide.
What to do with gear where is says 1 posible unique or something like that ?
Check out my crafting guide, you can craft it into a legendary!
@@ZiggyDGaming ok thx
technically u can do monoliths at level 35 but u need the damn skill point quests how do u recover these later?
You can just pop back into the campaign and do some more quests
AHOY!
So Im lvl 79 and I need Stormcarved Testament for my build. I should wait and lvl higher and do empowered farming for the unique instead of right now at 79?
from all the research I've done, this has always been the recommendation. I'm not there yet either, but it seems as if the empowered monos, and the higher the corruption, the better the loot and loot with more favorable rolls.
@@pieking4 thanks for helping me out! I don't wanna get lost like I did in PoE
GG!!!!!!!!
In all this end game guides I always miss information about what kind of dmg and defences we need to do early empowered monoliths. I understand it's hard to generalized it but some examples would help a lot. I'm so scared of this lvl 100 monoliths so I farmed my woven flesh on normal monolith.
But thank you for this video outside of this one point it was very useful for me :)
Like you suspect it's pretty hard to generalize as even giving a suggested health total would miss details like endurance/armor/glancing blow etc. It really is on a build by build basis. That said, unless you're playing hardcore there is no harm in trying! The jump from the level 90 to level 100 is immediately too big, it's really corruption and stacking enemy modifiers that make things start to get harder. I suggest jumping in and feeling it out!
@@ZiggyDGaming Okay I will try it. Thank you for your answer :)
@@kubwoj21 ive kinda been treating it like poe, getting res cap, going for crit avoid and because my class allows for it, im going glancing blows and shrouds for everything that the basic ele resistances dont cover (ie phys). other resistences like void, necrotic etc i will fit in where possible as long as it doesnt negatively impact my ele res and glancing blows.
@@officialdabaws5228 void/necro dmg will wipe you on bosses. so will ele res. the one res that is not that important is poison.
most builds (not low-life ones) want cap all res, crit avoid 100, endurance 60, stack hybrid hp and leech or massive regen. and THEN you think about damage.
@@timurdos did you read what i wrote? it was basically this lol i worked on ele res first, and get the other resistances where i can fit them in. as i find better gear and better idols im able to get more of the others filled in, such as necro and void. i didnt even mention damage, damage seems to scale very well off of a base stat prefix (there are other damage mods that are prefix too) on gear as well is implicits on weapons and relics. seeing as resistance is a suffix and also a more common implicit, you can absolutely work on damage at the same time as getting your resistances since they dont take up the same space and the game gives you plenty of bases to craft with.
This game is super enjoyable, if it wasnt for the Multi Player update i would have never touched it.
Fits snugly inbetween Diablo games and PoE in complexity and build variety (way more to the PoE side of things).
So i hope the devs take note of all the new positivity and keep at it, since the game has improved a lot since a few years ago.
Thanks for this tut!
I think you forgot to say that you should push up that corruption.
need glyphs so bad so always go for those echos.
this a good guide 👍
The rng can be brutal when you do a boss specific run 10 plus times and don't see the item u need lol
Any chance you're doing a buildguide for the one you play in the vid soon? :)
I'd like to if I get a chance next week!
Another great guide for fresh LE people :D
Hi can I ask What is the class you are playing in your videos?
The main one has been Sorcerer (Mage) - using Lightning Blast and Elemental Nova
@@ZiggyDGaming thanks!
@@ZiggyDGaming Any chance you can share your build? Thanks!
I died in the arena. After two unique drop and stare at it. Dot killed me.
That's the biggest game deterrent losing a f.......ng reward when you die in is so stupid.
How are you getting so much ward? I know it’s your unique relic but yours seems way too much. Can you show the build please?
I would like to see this build too if possible.
zig-a-zig-ah
Cool soggy playing last epoch
I have no idea what I am doing.
imo there is no such thing as true endgame u start then endgame when you or if you finsh the story lets face i imo u are aleady in the endgame
To avoid stacking up shitty mods. Open your own (blue portal) before finishing the objectives and use it after you've completed the monolith. You'll get all the rewards but won't be sticking those bad mods. The whole endgame system is trash imo BTW.
I saw the post talking about that! Interesting but definitely not intended and will probably get fixed heh.
Trash game. I want my refund.
nahh. still not free game 👎👎👎👎👎
