Hello Travelers, As we’re hard at work on Season 5, this month's update provides a look at how we're keeping community voices at the center of our development process, a build spotlight by maomao gaming and a wild defeat of Aberroth with only basic attacks. We’ve also include the teasers revealed over the last month. We know that players are itching for more details on Season 5. We’re hoping to share more in the coming months so be on the lookout! Feedback Forge The Feedback Forge is fired up and ready for another month of shaping Eterra's future. Thank you to every Traveler who took their time to share their thoughts, ideas, and suggestions with us. Your voices are a cornerstone of how we develop and refine the game, and we mean it when we say no piece of feedback goes unheard. To make that process more transparent and organized, we've given our Feedback and Suggestions Tracker a meaningful update, creating a cleaner, more accessible way for both the team and the community to see what's been submitted, what's under consideration, and what's already being acted on. We wanted to give you a peek into the process of how we handle feedback and suggestions to show you we are always working to make your voices heard. We read, review, and filter all the feedback and suggestions we receive, adding to the tracker everything we consider to be reasonable and actionable. While we do our best to include as much as possible, some submissions may not make it in due to design limitations or other variables. The player experience team meets regularly with producers and designers to walk through the tracker and determine next steps, whether that means flagging something for a game design discussion or discovering that we're already working on something you submitted. Do you have something you want to see change in Last Epoch? Make sure to submit it in our #feedback or #suggestions channel in Discord. We’ve also got our Feedback forum where you can vote on posts there from other members of the community. The player experience team’s continued goal is to make your voice heard and we look forward to continuing to do this for you! Build Spotlight This month's build comes from maomao’s gaming . This Crit Marrow Shards Zombies is capable of pushing 1500+ corruption. It uses the new Splinter Nova node for Marrow Shards. The build leans into a self-sustaining loop: volatile zombies die, triggering Dawn of Death effects that cast Marrow Shards, and then auto-resurrect through tree nodes, ring affixes, and the new Ash Wake boots resulting in cycling explosions and bone shards across the screen. With the Primordial wand, Horn of the Bone Wisp, Trader's Tongue, Nihilis, and the Snowblind helmet stacking skill points, you can grab every single more damage multiplier on the Marrow Shards tree, and Splinter Nova inherits all of them. Flat spell damage comes from the wand, a T7 necrotic craft on the Trader's Tongue, and the Lich passive tree. Reaper Form sustain is trivial thanks to health and ward generated from zombie deaths, and heretical idol corruptions can cover a big chunk of your crit damage reduction gearing. Strengths: 1500+ corruption viable Great clear with screen-wide explosions Solid survivability and easy Reaper Form uptime Mostly automated damage loop: Let those zombies do the work! Weaknesses: Positioning matters Relies on itemization Key uniques like Nihilis are risky to corrupt and painful to lose Single target falls behind Mana Flay at the highest corruption pushes A strong pick for players who want an all-rounder that lights up the screen while still handling the hardest content in the game. Community Fun Season 4 has brought no shortage of funny, amazing, and wild community moments, but one stood out this month to us. Ohgetawesome managed to defeat Aberroth using nothing but basic attacks! It's an impressive feat by any measure, and with a well-built Void Knight and some quality gear, they pulled it off. Here are just some of the items they had equipped to make it happen: And if you haven’t had a chance to watch the battle, check it out below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7lfQXVwOuY Mike’s Teasers Mike’s began to start teasing some things coming in Season 5. We’re excited to see what folks start talking about with what we show off. What’s next? That's a wrap on May's Eterra Monthly! While this month was a lighter one in terms of content, it's a reflection of just how heads-down the team is on Season 5. The teasers are just a taste of what's to come, and as development continues to evolve, we're looking forward to sharing more with you soon. Stay tuned, Travelers!

Bug Fixes Fixed an issue where the connecting overlay could persist after leaving the game to character select and then reconnecting to the same server. Skills and Passives Fixed an issue which caused the Moments Stolen node in Erasing Strike to not grant haste when hitting a rare or boss enemy. Fixed an issue which could cause abilities with On Hit effects to become unresponsive when you had Challenge the Elements in Ice Barrage, Kolheim Ballista, Power Word: Hail in Frost Claw, and Warden's Echo in the Spellblade Passive tree. Fixed an issue in the English version of the Explosive Traps skill tree the "Trapas" node was erroneously named "Traps". Items Fixed an issue where the "corrupted idol limit and increased effect of Weaver enchantment affixes for idols in refracted slots" altar affix was not applying increased effect to the relevant affixes. The "chance to not consume Silver Shroud when hit" affix now cannot exceed 75%. Campaign The Heoborea waypoint now unlocks after The Scorched Grove has been completed and the quest marker is on Heoborea. This prevents a rare situation where it was possible to be blocked form accessing Heoborea. Monolith The extra shade scaling from corruption for the Confluence of Oblivion Woven Echo now always treats the Echo as if it were a distance of 12 from the center of the Echo web. Previously in Season 4, it scaled with distance from the center at distances of 12 and above like the regular shade and this created a burden of optimal play where it was better to place the Woven Echo within 11 spaces of the center of the Echo Web. Fixed an issue where the Boss Quest Echo start window would appear for both the host and guests. It now properly only appears for the player that initiated the echo from the echo web menu. Enemies Fixed an issue where Swollen Corpse Champions would not animate properly when using their fireball ability. UI Bazaar: Fixed an issue where Legendary Potential wasn't capitalized correctly in Bazaar list view. Bazaar: Fixed an issue where the minimum value of a mod was used in a maximum input field when searching unique mods in the Bazaar. Bazaar: Fixed incorrect mod ranges in the Bazaar filter for Legends Entwined and Falcon Fists. Fixed an issue where the landing page in full offline mode had overlapping text. Fixed an issue where you couldn't navigate to inventory from Nemesis egg popup while using a controller. Fixed an issue where, in the appearance tab of the inventory menu, clicking buy now on any of the evade cosmetics present in the Fractured supporter packs would not open the correct page of the in game store.

Hello Travelers, Eterra continues to evolve after the launch of Season 4. This month’s update reflects the steady momentum behind that journey. We’ve upgraded our audio design to level up the combat experience, from piercing dagger thrusts to legendary loot drops, to the continued partnership between our team and the community in tracking down issues and shaping future systems, there’s a lot to dig into. In this edition of Eterra Monthly, we’re spotlighting the ongoing transformation of audio across the game, celebrating the Travelers who helped us refine Season 4, and showcasing a high-impact Bladedancer build that’s turning heads in the endgame. Dev Highlight: A New Era of Audio In this month’s Development Highlight, we catch up with our Lead Sound Designer to talk about his team’s efforts on improving the audio in Last Epoch. Alec, take it away! Hello Travelers, Alec here, Last Epoch’s Lead Sound Designer. I want to briefly talk about our audio team and the current state of audio in Last Epoch. I joined the team after the launch of 1.0 with the goal of improving combat feedback and overall audio satisfaction. That process started with a lengthy review of virtually every audio asset in the game. From that review, we decided our best path forward was to completely rebuild our audio mix structure. You may have noticed over the course of 2025 that Last Epoch’s audio began to sound different. At the beginning of the year, starting with Aberroth and the new Fate Weavers, we began a complete rebuild of the foundation the game’s audio was built on. Since conquering something like Aberroth is a goal many players aim for, we wanted to ensure we built our new mix to best cater to that kind of environment. Enemies create the context that the player's skill audio is constantly compared to, so this meant making enemies feel bigger and giving them more of a presence, meant killing them felt like a bigger achievement. https://youtu.be/1sz0VaEY4P0 After the release of Season 2, we began migrating all enemies into the new mix. This was a long process, so thank you for bearing with us as it happened. In the lead up to Season 3, 90% of enemies had been fully integrated, but, of course, we were not done. In addition to enemies, ahead of Season 3 we began migrating player skills into the new mix. https://youtu.be/3ux53ASbnaU We want to make sure we get audio right this time, so we have been taking our time, and as of today, just after the launch of Season 4, almost all audio in the game has been migrated into the new system. So what does the future look like for audio in Last Epoch? You may have seen in the patch notes of Season 4, we pushed out a small melee hit SFX update. https://youtu.be/QNN1zmDCiDo That was only the beginning. Now that we have a much stronger foundation, we have begun redesigning older skills that don't quiet meet our quality bar. This means moving forward skill audio will continue to be updated across the board until we feel we have fully updated all old assets to our new quality standard. There are a lot of exciting things coming and I can’t wait to share all the updated audio with you. Thanks for sharing Alec! It’s great to hear the improvement in the videos you shared and understand the audio team’s goals. I’m sure I speak for the community and say they cannot wait to hear these for themselves in future updates. Feedback Forge The Feedback Forge has been burning bright over the last month. Thank you to all of the Travelers who kept it roaring. Throughout Season 4, players continued to surface bugs, call out rough edges, and share thoughtful insights that helped make Eterra a smoother, more polished experience for everyone. We take pride in listening closely to what our players share, and every report, big or small, helps guide meaningful improvements across the game. As a small token of appreciation, we’d like to highlight a handful of Travelers whose contributions helped track down and fix those pesky issues throughout the season. Thank you to: Daiwoo, Django2991, Fierce_Invalid, Asobura, iAzoriusi, Astrynomus: Added a fail safe to the Forge Tutorial quest to avoid players being stuck in a state where the quest is completed and the door does not open. Thank you to: marshal_on_mars, .adb: They were so happy to be included in Omen Windows that they overdid the Pyromancy a bit, and have been toned down. Ignites they inflict no longer penetrate all player resistances. Thank you to: Kempefett, MrEricFail, emmajillian, Draeloth: Fixed an issue where the Fractured Watcher title was not accessible Thank you to: CaptainKoan, Sugareyes, Gwaeron25, Kavinsky07, Krusk, CookBook, Darthjake013: Fixed a bug where item drops with fully randomized item types (i.e. most item drops) for Primalists could not roll item types that had a below default drop rate for Mage. This prevented item types such as 1h axes, 2h axes, 1h maces, 2h maces, and spears from dropping from most enemies. Fixed a bug where item drops with fully randomized item types (i.e. most item drops) for Mage could not roll item types that had a below default drop rate for Mage. This prevented catalysts from dropping from most enemies. Fixed a bug where item drops with fully randomized item types (i.e. most item drops) for Sentinel could not roll item types that had a below default drop rate for Rogue. This prevented item types such as 1h axes, 2h axes, 2h swords, and 2h maces from dropping from most enemies. Fixed a bug where Class Specific Corrupted Item Crates dropped large amounts of non-class specific items, rather than mostly items specific to their respective classes. They now also drop more corrupted unique and set items than they did previously. Fixed a bug where the drops from Corrupted Item Crates depended on the level of the area you opened them in. Thank you to: somniloquist: Fractured Prison: Fixed a bug causing Oculus of Ruin to fail to drop for some characters. Thank you to: ratso, Antwaun, eagles4evr, debris, Donzpie: Omen Idols: Fixed a bug preventing Omen Idols from dropping Thank you to: Muzicos, theflyingpancake, kowaleq, Dedeh, Momlechat, elvenchakra, ChrisZieg, Ninja_Kid, LowPolygonRat: Tornado: Fixed an issue that was preventing Tornado’s Eye of the Storm node from attaching Tornado to the player. Thank you to: Lindrinos, Skaar, Morbat, churahm, Kelbar, Awwwtrek: Swipe: Fixed an issue where swipe was not applying on hit effects with the second attack in the sequence of the ability. Thank you to: yybermaster, Congree, eTouws: Abandoned Eyes of the Weaver: Fixed an issue where the first level of all skills would be applied at 60 total attributes, then additional points at every 120 attributes from that initial 60. Thank you to: Dukanu, GiantMan91, Sm00thy88, fuleco, Lesil: The Land Before: Fixed an issue where The Land Before was not considering corrupted unique idols to be unique. Thank you to: MRK_Medium, Ikazza, meat_wolf, Denoknight, Khass, LonelyProton, Iyat: Congealed Sludge: Fixed an issue that was causing Congealed Sludge ranged attacks and a small selection of other enemy abilities to count as both Hit Damage and Damage over Time. This had a side effect of their damage scaling much more aggressively with corruption than intended and therefore dealing far too much damage at high corruption. Congealed Sludge: They have overstayed their welcome, and been ritually executed for crimes against travelers across the world. They now deal tremendously less damage at all levels with their Grime Belch (formerly known as Poison Bone Spike) and Poison Death Explosion attacks, especially at high levels of corruption (1000+). Congealed Sludge: Their Grime Belch is no longer undodgable, and no longer counts as a DoT. Thank you to: Trindorai, UndeadDiablo, JamCee, SatchelNZ, Bergmann94, NakedAmerica, Arufar, elvenchakra, Aeneon, stayuplate: Emperor of Corpses: The Soul Bombs created by the Emperor of Corpses timeline boss now deals tremendously less damage. This is a temporary change while we investigate an issue with its indicators which causes them to regularly fail to properly indicate the area of the attack. Future Feedback In addition to the bug reporting you have all done, there’s been some great feedback that we’re having discussions on in our game design meetings to potentially facilitate future changes. Below is some of this: Thank you to: glikejdash, Yalcookedaf653, MentalJinno, DragoonRose, Donzpie, Atomicjoke, max_lothrik, divergentgrowth, and a whole bunch of other Travelers who’ve discussed this in various discussions and posts. Imprint Changes Thank you to: LegionOne, Kahzimi Endgame juicing Thanks to: LegionOne, Kahzimi Build Spotlight: Immortal Stone Rend Cascade Bladedancer This month’s build come from TheDarkOmen. This is a very mobile monolith farmer that can quickly kill groups and bosses alike while maintaining extremely high dodge chance. The build plays in tight, deliberate windows, stacking shadows, dumping mana into Shadow Rend, then unleashing Shadow Cascade for overlapping hits that scale off both melee and throwing damage. Umbral Blades adds another layer of burst for bosses, giving the build strong single-target pressure alongside solid clear. Defensively, it leans into dodge, and mobility to stay alive, enabling an “immortal” feel once geared and executed properly. Strengths: Fast Monolith farmer Very mobile Gear is not hard to come by Very tanky Weaknesses: Melee High mana costs Susceptible to one-shots due to relying on dodge chance Small hitbox bosses can be annoying A strong pick for players who enjoy an active, execution-heavy playstyle with high reward at endgame. Community Fun: Forge Your Void Pet™ The Forge Your Void Pet™ contest received some great entries and we appreciate the creativity that came from everyone that participated so thank you to all that submitted entries! Check out what players created and the winners below. 1st Place: The Void Aardon Author: bggclru The Void Aardon fell out of the Void dazed and confused. A spider, seeing the Aardon thought him easy prey. The spider pounced, catching the Aardon off guard. Wounded, the Aardon struggled to maintain consciousness, fighting off death. The spider, sensing victory went in for the kill. Suddenly, the spider crumpled over lifeless, an arrow protruding out of its mouth. The Traveler slowly lowered his bow. The Traveler took the Aardon and nursed him back to health. The Aardon has been the Traveler’s faithful companion ever since. The Aardon has long front legs, which aid in scaling walls. Its back legs help to propel it up walls, allowing it move very quickly. Its legs are connected by a ball joint, allowing it to move its legs in circular positions. Its tail has long spikes for killing its prey. The Aardon is able to move its back spikes side to side to help maintain balance. The Aardon likes to stay in the shadows and stalk its prey. The Aardon will cling to the Traveler’s back, aiding and abetting in eliminating threats. [carousel autoadvance="true"] [/carousel] 2nd Place: Soul Cage Void Pet Author: Skraeling A freshly sprouted void bloom gazed upon the wonders of its surroundings. By some strange chance, it's home was a forgotten soul cage in a buried laboratory below the Maj'elkan desert. The vague forms of the cage's inhabitants swirled around the new inmate and peered on with hollow faces. The many nameless spirits knew not the manner of being which had sprung into existence among them, yet still they shared an odd kinship. Perhaps some minuscule fragment of the Observer's memory lingered within the creature, as it felt a sincere curiosity and silent appreciation towards its environment, if only for a moment. 3rd Place: Glass Void Pet Author: Shnitzelhogen Born from the shattered shards of the sinister omens, the voidling emerges from the depths. [carousel autoadvance="true"] [/carousel] [carousel autoadvance="true"] [/carousel] 3D Printed Void Pet Author: error111121 My little piece of the void looks out from on top my printer asking why never getting an answer and always hungering. Nagasa Void Pet Author: Hatenashi Raza One of the first of the nagasa to fall to void corruption. One of the descendants of Sandrak of the circle of fortune. She saw her fall to the void as well as her falling in battle with the traveler. What Surdda did not see was her surviving it all...maybe fate, maybe mercy of the traveler...but her latest dance with death awake her consciousness from the void, she now follows the traveler to bear witness to the next story she can't foretell.' Purple Cuddly Doggy Author: Nettle The Purple Cuddly Doggy and his friendo Wormy (he totally does not NOT have legs because it would be too hard for me to do from the clay). This is how little cuddly purple doggies are made. Really. Trust me. I studied Tolmat's Incorrect History of Eterra extensively for this. Also beware the biggest predator of voidbeasts everywhere, Cinderella (or Popelka), my lovely voidbeast-eating cat. [carousel] [/carousel] What's Next? With the release of the 1.4.6 update, the team turns to Season 5. In the coming months, the team will be focused on creating exciting content. Who knows, maybe we’ll even start giving you a glimpse into Season 5 with teasers on our regular Friday Dev Q&A Streams with Mike. Speaking of those streams, we’re cooking up some special guests so be on the lookout for those soon! Thank you for continuing to join us on this journey and we will see you in Eterra.
