Thanks so much for this guide. I've been so crossed up by different videos suggesting "better" levelling paths through the dungeons -- you concisely laying out each method and the pros and cons at the start was exactly what I needed.

What a massive help this guide has been. The bit about slamming exalts into low level uniques and keeping the level reqs made me instantly want to pause the video and go do it. Also, ever since I started this game, every day I think to myself... "This is the game Diablo 4 should/could have been." This game in Diablo 4's skin and theme would be.... perfect.

Thanks for your guides, dude. KEEP THEM COMING!!!! You're making not only LE, but ARPGs more accessible.

Dude thank you so much for explaining this thoroughly and so well. This is the only video where it's explained properly!

MOAR TIPS! 1. Jim Thomes can also be used to INSTANTLY level up a skill or skills if you just re-spec'd. 2. Check the town armor vendors for items that might have +skill modifiers - you can sometimes find items at vendors that give "+ level to x skill" - unless the skill is something you can't see yourself every playing, buy the item and then shatter it! You now have an easy way to turn lower-level gear into something OP by adding additional levels to skills you're using. 3. The Tier 1 versions of each of the dungeons are mostly easy, quick, and drop fairly useful uniques (some of them drop build-enabling uniques). Assuming you are leveling an alt and have some of the required keys, running these can give great xp and jump-start your build. Lightless Arbor can be run at level 22 and drops a pretty nice crit helmet. 4. Remember that bosses can be stunned and frozen! If you skipped the campaign and got to mono's super early, equip a weapon with stun chance or use a skill that freezes to make blasting both the mono's and bosses easier until you get more levels! Enjoy!

I love how this guy just explain shits without going fancy bullshit

Perfect timing I just so happen to have the sapphire quest as I was watching video. tyvm

another good tip is prolly item implicits/flat damage are strong in this game. Phys res is a good stat to have while leveling

I blast through the game then come back for passives and idols once I'm over leveled, that's been a decent strat

I knew most of these, but I still learned some great tips and it was fun to watch. Also, I was a big Jim Thome fan, The day he joined the Phillies was amazing, we finally had a great player again and he was such a kind soul, someone you could cheer for even if you didnt like baseball lol

thanks for laying this all out was thinking of rolling a second char finally and wasnt sure how to go about it so this is really helpful as a casual/newb

Some excellent tips. I just crafted a decent Firestarter's Torch with T6 Mana/Mana Regen. That plus Calamity helm is a cheat code. Levelled a Torment Warlock from 1-60 including all idol/passive unlocks in only 4 hours.

Love your content, dude. Even with some experience in the game, I'm always learning from you. Keep it up

I've been hesitating on making an alt, this should help quite a bit thanks man as always!

Thankyou another Super guide, you explain the game so good. You are a joy to watch. A really Big Thankyou.

Rax: "I am a content creator, I will hit 100, it is my job, unless I die". Me: That seems excessive. Rax: "on Hardcore." Me: That seems excessive.

It confirmed many things I found or assumed plus added some new. Good video!

Nice. So I put some unique boots on with the weavers will thing on there since I had no idea what it was. Not sure if anyone has gone over this yet. Anyhow, It put three random affixes on the boots, making them legendary (after the first one). Not the best affixes but pretty cool. It put health regen on and leveled it up three or four times, then move speed and leveled twice, then strength and leveled it a couple times. Pretty neat. Boots were advent of erased which give haste etc. They had 8% move speed implicit, 7% move speed affix, and the weaver's will added 16% move speed for a total of 31% plus haste when stuff dies.

Excellent guide! Thank you :)

i hesitate to make alts in other games than diablo and last epoch, i did not find any GOOD guide about the campaign skip but some explanatiions, after figuring it out myself i already have my third char in the 80's it's really easy and fast and alot of fun if you want to try different builds!

@Lanceloot91

by the way the fastest method is, playing until you choose ur second mastery, dont forget to make the saphire tablet quests, then do the dungeon i think its lastless arbor, NOW run to the ship and make the quest which brings you into the desert zone!!! (dont forget to lvl up in monoliths before entering desert zone) soulfire bastion is NOT part of the campaign skip that is misleading, soulfire bastion is just to bring you to the arena faster! if your in the desert zone run straight to the right to do the next dungeon temporal sanctum, after that complete the campaign with all side quests which you now getting (they are all on the way to the end of the campaign and so to say "on your way" to the endboss which makes it extremely easy and handy to get all your idols and passive points!) and then kill the endboss and your as good as done with the char

what i also found out is: if you have a friend you can join his 100 monoliths why you are like lvl 25 and get about 3 lvl per monolith, just port to him while he is doing the monolith, this is also a way to NOT lose the monolith rewards if you die, my friend died while doing the monolith and i was still alive and he could port to me. you just need to stand next to him like 1-2 screens to get the xp. if you die dont worry just right click on his portrait again and you will port to him again, you will of course die alot in a 100 mono while being 25.

@ap9929

@@Lanceloot91 doesn't need to be lvl 100 monoliths, the xp is capped at +5 lvls of yours. So if you're 25, and you can join his lvl 60 monos, the xp gain is the same.

Also thanks for the guide as usual Rax!

If anyone is having trouble with Lagon, you can stand on the left or right stairs while you attack the tentacles. If you are about half way down his eye beam that one shots you will completely whiff. One of his aoe's will target you but you can easily move out of the way and just continue shredding. This will also keep you safe from his waves later on in the fight.

Very nice and concise guides, keep it up ! :)

Great thanks I am just to start my second character and I will choose the 1-7 strategy ending at the tree :) Also thanks for the endgame tips. Looking forward to the next guides :)

Hey did you actually do this? I just downed the tree boss and I'm still missing 3 idol slots, don't see any remaining quests on my map that grant idol slots Edit: I had to run Liath's tower to get my last 3 idol slots. Couldn't see any quests I'd missed but maybe I missed an unmarked one or a time rift or something somewhere.

@ashleygoggs5679

@@JoPOW7 You get the remaining idol slots when you reach the last act. You complete it and get the rest. So basically you go 1-5 or 1-7 and then complete or do some of act 9 and you have everything. i did 1-5 unlocked temporal, completed it, did act 9 and had avsolutely everything i needed. Its 100% doable.

@@ashleygoggs5679 the video says otherwise though - I think I found that I maybe missed a time rift thing that only shows the quest once you enter. Think it's in like act 6 and I just zoomed right past it Either way thankfully I just sped my way to the Liath Tower quest right at the start of act 8, and got it done. No need for act 9 at all, though I will probably use a friend to teleport to the final boss for the +1 attributes he mentions

The lightless arbhor fucking kicks my ass. Those bats with the sonic scream melts my ass even with all of the uniques that give me a ton of armor early on. By the time I’m strong enough to do it I’m already in front of the soulspire dungeon. I’m glad that you’re not just recommending that I keep slamming my head at lightless arbhor. I’m probably going to go back to my monolith ready character and create some of those “twink” items to make my life easier before going back to my alts.

I found this very useful, good content. +1 sub

Also a small addon to the blessings, the exp blessing you can get in the first monolith is pretty much best in slot, because more exp gained = more favor , even when you are lvl 100

Great guide! I tried strategy 3 but I am still missing some idols slot exactly 7/8 and I finished act 9 but no more side quests while I was completing them.

As a baseball uber fan, I loved so much seeing Thome in your video. ...for the rest of you that aren't baseball fans, you might be surprised how much you love it (a stat-nerd's heaven!).

I'm new to the game but familiar with ARPGs. Last Epoch is the first one with a Hardcore mechanic that hooked me. I just got my first character past level 60 by stumbling onto your #2 strategy by accident simply because Lagon kept sending me back to the character creation screen. Any build suggestions or general tips for new HC players in future videos would be appreciated. Going back to watch your Ward Guide after this.

Hey, what happens if i dont get %xp buff from the first monolyth? should i run it again or just keep going

Excellent guide. Like some of the other posters, i had no idea what part of the campaign i was on. I only realized i was done when i got the quests for monoliths. I'm no where near making an alt, but am i right in assuming if i make an alt I still need to do at least part of the campaign?

Best guide ever made! Thanks Bro!

Bruh you the goat! Thanks again for the guide.

Thank you for this amazing guide, and thank you for making me feel like i'm not the only one who wholeheartedly hates Lagon and enables me to skip this playdough kraken

how do you put the experimental minion travels to Last Steps of the Living boots? should i need to put experimental to an exalted boots then make a luck to combine in sanctum? i love your in-depth videos about crafting it help me understand alot.

Great video. As always much appreciated.

This sure helps a lot espcially the first part was pretty good to know. Makes me want to make more chars once I finished my first time playthrough (gonna be today most likely). I have one question when it comes to leveling your passives. Once you choose have choosen your mastery do you first level your choosen mastery to the point where you get all the skills and/or passives you want out of it and ignore the others? Or is it better to go for the best synergies no matter the mastery they are in? I know maybe basic but I have a hard time deciding which of those two options is the one that is better.

in re.to monolith right side so you reccommed do reinf of dragons before ruin and i think its winter?

Great work man. Awesome tips.

What a killer youtuber for this game. Thanks a ton man!

I have a question... if im farming a monolith (for example im farming unique boots) when i find the echo that drop unique i have to reset monolith or i can find others echo? Sorry for bad english, anyway awesome vids 😅❤

WoW, and here I thought I was doing well with a level 100 Paladin, a 77 Beast Master and a 63 Shaman. OK I'm not doing so well LoL, thanks for the video, it will help. Thumbs up. The reason I went with a Paladin for my first character was shield rush, I ran through the game and then farmed all of the twink items I would need and the best drops I got were for the Beast Master and the shaman. Also, I was doing monoliths at 36 on my Paladin without problems but my Shaman was struggling, so I just waited until I leveled him some more

thank you for answer my question about what to do when i hit the monolith, i been keep runing the same one even not get to the power monolith.

Can someone clarify how the Act 7 path works exactly? I beat act 7, I did the dungeon, I'm in act 9, I cannot just go kill the boss. I have to do every main quest that leads to them, is that expected? Raxx sorta made it sound like you can just walk straight to the boss and kill it and bounce? Or did I misunderstand?

what is that purple icon next to the level req on the unique?

I did the dungeon method on my second character i was able to get from 1-70 in a day but what i recommend is that the first couple of important idol and passive point missions come in the ice area so i recommend after sould bastion to do the ice area missions before going to temporal that will jump to the end of the campaign to then do the idol missions their and shoot u straight too the end if u complete the two crucial in the ice are after the soul bastion dungeon and the other missions for idols in the last are of the story you are pretty much good to go to do monoliths with everything

Silly Question? How did you get 2 minion melee damage mods on the Legendary? I thought only 1 of each mod could roll on an item?

hey raxx do you plan to make a google sheet strategie guide like in diablo 4 ? i really enjoy it and it was really helpfull . thanks you

Can you still pick circle of fortune if you skip from act 7 to act 9? (Avoiding the lagoon fight in hardcore).

Is there a way to get to the final boss other than Temp/Sanctom? Or how do you get to the start of chapter 9?

thank you SOOO much for this video. Raxx this video just entirely reinvigorated my desire to keep streaming and playing this game. i never thought to put so much emphasis into making twink items, and now i have a reason to run my lvl 60-80 character some more so so i can target items to make all my fun new builds that i want to do, more enjoyable from the get go!!!!!!!! after 350+ hours in the last few months, Im still in completely in love with this game!!!!

good guide as always... thanks man

I tried the strategy with Act 7 and I am missing one idol slot quest. Did I miss any quests?

Hi the leveling method of going to act 7 doesn't get you to the point where you can visit the factions like the mg bazaar. How do you get to those?

for your detonating arrow build where would you recommend living in monoliths?

awesome i know what i do with my 3 character, i almost close to lvl 42 with my spellblade, cant wait for monolith grinding :O

Having done the dungeon run... I agree. It was super annoying to figure out where to go to get all the passives/idol slots. They need to add some mechanic to get them. Like, after you complete a dungeon, you get all the passives/idol slots for the acts skipped.

How do we run straight to lagon after finishing the temporal sanctum dungeon ? It leads me to desert majelka district ? lagon is like somewhere else on the map ? (edit ; I guess lagon is not the last boss ? :D )

I found this video at just the right time 🙏🏻

which one is the tree boss? i dont even remember and i've leveled 5 characters

Can i just say as a computer person, using microsoft note is free and an easy way to make text diagrams that are neat and easy to read. you can drag text around too its nice

Came for the tips, stayed for the outstanding ms paint skills

I dont understand the purpose of temporal sanctum here -- is it to get access to monos before the otherwise end of chapter 9?

Wow man great video thanks

I feel like when I did the full campaign, I was still missing 3 idol quests (5/8) by the time I killed the tree, I am fairly certain I did all the side quests and main quests up to that point but ofc I wasn't paying to it as much attention as Raxx who ran through the game multiple times. Similarly Zyzz made a video of how you can skip all the way to act 9 and be able to get all your passives / idols in act 9 which also wasn't true and there were an idol quest and 2 passive quests still missing after killing the last boss for which I had to go back. Ofc this wasn't much of an issue because I outlevled those zones by a lot but still it isn't as straight forward as presented, or ofc I could be an idiot who missed something. As far as strategy 4 is concerned, you would need to do Soulfire Bastion, then go back to act 5 area (between lightless and Soulfire), go kill Admiral Crabs (Harton), and go straight to the portal that leads to the void timeline that leads to Temporal Sanctum (won't need to go to Abode at this point because you are ahead of it by finishing SoulFire bastion)

At higher levels will you get legendary drops that are required level low?

new to the game, are monoliths the main building block?

To even further encourage people to focus on the tome reward in echoes especially when you get there early and/or your skills are not yet lvl 20, it's worth noting that the exp the tomes give also count towards skill exp. Certain skill levels can get you right there to the breakpoint where your build lifts off so there's even more incentive. GUARANTEED accelerated extra power for your entire character through your passsive tree, all your skill trees and your faction from a single echo completion reward. Compare this to some random glyphs, shards, rares that may or may not help you for the time being.

the act 7 strat seems to be a lil wonky, half the time i have max idol/passives, the other times i need to keep going into act 8 to complete , not sure if im missing quests

You do story until you reach the oracles abode and get the temporal dungeon quest. After finishing it you are already capped on passive skill points. Now go do monoliths until you reach a level you think is safe to do the temporal dungeon.

Firestarter's Torch with fireball and fire version of ball lightning is soooo OP!!!

So if I started the monolyth at level 38, I should look for that key and skip the rest of the campaign? Random but funny how the ball lightning build is OP in LE and D4 lol. Also the way to jump start new characters is uniques. I have a whole set of uniques for level 6 and lower. Slap them on any new character and go hard after that! Do you think they will nerf the uniques levels or is this just the way they found to jump start new characters?

How can I go Majelka for faction selection if I skipped on chapter 7?

Hi Rexx :) i am not sure but i think them you forget about fraction (you cant wear the items what you show us until you got the franction which i got in act 9). Tell me if am wrong 😅 thanks

Except iof the item also require a faction level, your alt will not have it and will not be able to use it until you reach act 9, right?

I play Offline SCF so I’ll try the 2nd strategy. Thank you.

great monolith tips, got my sub

dude you rock great video

Another trick with Jim Thomes is that if you want to respecc your skills and master another skill, maybe you want to change your build, do Jim's echo, open the reward, respecc, and THEN pick the tomes so you instantly level your newly mastered skills. That was even confirmed by the devs and they let it there as a feature for that particular reason.

is there a specific place to get temporal sanctum keys because all the way to empowered monoliths and level 90 i got 0 of them but like 40 of the others before i died im just assuming they drop like 10x as often in early empowereds

How do you access your faction of you don't do act 9?

Question: How long does it take in monoliths to get just some of the gear displayed in all those guides on late game builds? I just want a time estimate to see if its worth my time or not. Like is it 40 hours and then you have something that can go 500 corruption? or is it more?

It can be way less than 40h if you are efficient and a decent player. It is no where near POE time investment to get a character that can push content. A lot of items are targeted from bosses and the empowered monos allow you to target farm specific item slots.
