Last Epoch is the latest entry into the rogue-like genre and was released after an extended Early Access period. And while most games consist mostly of the story or the main campaign players may prefer to skip the campaign and dive straight into the endgame content. While this is possible, it requires some setup and having completed it previously. Here's a guide on how to skip the campaign in Last Epoch and jump into the leveling and endgame action.
Requirements for Skipping the Campaign
Before you can skip the Last Epoch campaign, you need to meet certain requirements. You must have completed the campaign at least once and gathered the necessary dungeon keys. These keys are essential for accessing the three dungeons that serve as the shortcut to the endgame.
The Three Dungeons: Lightless Arbor, Soulfire Bastion, Temporal Sanctum
The three dungeons you'll need to complete to skip the campaign are the Lightless Arbor, Soulfire Bastion, and Temporal Sanctum. Each dungeon requires a minimum level to enter: 22, 45, and 55, respectively. You can acquire dungeon keys by completing Monoliths of Fate in the endgame.
Steps to Skip the Campaign
Once you have the dungeon keys and are sufficiently leveled, start a new character and progress through the campaign until you reach the Council Chambers in the Ruined Era. From there, follow these steps to skip the campaign:
Head east towards The Surface, then north to The Shrouded Ridge to find the entrance to Lightless Arbor.
Complete Lightless Arbor, defeat the final boss, and arrive at The Corrupted Lake. Use the temporal rift there to travel to The Risen Lake in the Imperial Era.
From The Risen Lake, head north to Felled Wood to find the entrance to Soulfire Bastion. Navigate the dungeon and defeat the final boss to reach The Soul Furnace.
Enter The Soul Furnace to reach Kolheim Pass in the Divine Era.
Proceed through the campaign until you reach Maj’Elka in the Imperial Era. From Oracle’s Abode, go west to The Shining Cove to find a time rift to The Ruined Coast in the Ruined Era.
Enter Temporal Sanctum and complete the dungeon to reach The Radiant Dunes in the Divine Era, skipping the Lagon boss fight and moving directly to chapter nine, completing the final campaign skip.
Benefits of Skipping the Campaign
Access to endgame content without completing the full campaign.
Unlocking all Idol slots and bonus Passive points normally obtained by finishing the campaign.
Ideal for experienced players looking to jump straight into the endgame action.
By following these steps, you can skip the campaign in Last Epoch and access the endgame content. This method is ideal for experienced players looking to quickly progress to the endgame. However, if you're new to Last Epoch, it's recommended to play through the campaign first to familiarize yourself with the game's mechanics and storyline.
