Eleventh Hour Games’ Last Epoch boasts numerous mechanics that provide an immersive action RPG experience to its players. Apart from choosing from 15 different classes to master, the game also offers dungeon-crawling gameplay; allowing players to take on numerous foes in three different dungeons for various rewards. Among these is the Lightless Arbor Dungeon, encompassing an ancient forest filled with terrifying creatures and a daunting end boss. However, entering the depths of this vault demands Lightless Arbor Keys, which many new struggle to obtain. Worry not, as this guide will delve into all the way to acquire this special key and conquer this formidable dungeon.
How to Get the Lightless Arbor Keys in Last Epoch?
While most dungeon keys drop automatically from enemies, the most effective way to obtain them would be to target farm Monolith Timeline Bosses and the Arena of Champions. However, choosing either of these methods entirely depends on your build and your level of Corruption.
Having a higher corruption level significantly increases the chances of getting dungeon keys as drops, to the point where you can even get all three dungeon keys from a single albeit powerful boss. If you reach some of the high-tier corruption levels, you can even acquire Lightless Arbor Keys from Shade minibosses. However, if you have lower corruption, your best chance would be to enter the Champion’s Gate in Heoborea and enter the arena.
After you get into the arena, you will face waves of various enemies, and after defeating each tier, you will unlock access to additional modifiers which increases the difficulty while also offering rare, lucrative rewards, one of them being the possibility of dropping the Lightless Arbor Keys. Although the possibility of receiving this specific dungeon key is lower than taking down Monolith bosses, you need to know that you will get the option to choose modifiers that guarantee a key after getting past Wave 30.
Once you obtain enough keys to enter the Lightless Arbor dungeon, you can make use of The Vault of Uncertain Fate, which will provide you with a variety of lucrative modifiers in exchange for Gold. If you have an abundance of it, you can also try to roll for a modifier that will let you obtain the Lightless Arbor Key as an additional reward.
That is pretty much all it takes to obtain the special keys to enter the Lightless Arbor dungeon in Last Epoch. Note that the aforementioned farming methods (except for the Vault of Uncertain Fate) apply to the Soulfire Bastion and Temporal Sanctum dungeons as well.
