LAST EPOCH

How do you progress through the Monolith of Fate?

Understand the path through a Timeline, then choose the next boss, Blessing or Corruption step that fits your goal.

One Timeline, three decisions

Complete Echoes to build Stability, then fight that Timeline’s boss. After the fight, choose from the Blessings offered for that Timeline. If you are hunting a particular item, check whether it belongs to the boss pool or to a gear reward Echo before choosing where to spend your time.

Find a Blessing by the stat you need

What to do in each part of a Timeline

Run Echoes for Stability

Pick Echo rewards you need while working toward the Timeline boss. A gear reward Echo offers an item type, not a guaranteed named Unique.

Check a gear or Unique route

Check the boss pool

A boss-specific Unique belongs to that encounter’s reward pool. Some items also require an area level, Corruption amount or dungeon tier before they can drop.

Compare item source types

Choose a Blessing

Each Timeline has its own Blessing choices. The Empowered version offers Grand Blessings with higher possible values; the one you want may take more than one boss fight.

Find the right Timeline

Example · Fall of the Outcasts

Normal and Empowered rewards differ

Pride of Rebellion can appear in the normal Fall of the Outcasts pool; Grand Pride of Rebellion belongs to its Empowered pool. Both improve increased grand idol drop rate, with different roll ranges.

Normal · area level 6230–50% Increased Grand Idol Drop Rate

Empowered · area level 10051–100% Increased Grand Idol Drop Rate

When your goal is more Corruption, the next action depends on your current Timeline and Gaze count.

Good to know

Does a boss always offer the Blessing I want?

No. A Timeline has its own Blessing pool, but the choices after one fight are not guaranteed to include a particular Blessing.

Is a gear reward Echo the same as a boss-specific Unique?

No. Check the named item first; boss-specific rewards need their boss source.
