The impending Tombs of the Erased update for Last Epoch is set to introduce an array of exciting features and endgame mechanics, with the new Woven faction taking center stage. This faction will provide players with opportunities to combat distinctive monsters, gather special currencies, craft Monolith Echoes, and earn exclusive rewards.
The Woven faction marks the second endgame-specific faction introduced in the game, following the Forgotten Knights that debuted in the Harbingers of Ruin update. While the Forgotten Knights empower Harbingers and Aberroth, the Woven allows players to enhance the Monoliths, presenting them with formidable challenges and rewarding outcomes.
Joining the Woven: Accessing the Latest Faction and Embracing New Challenges
In contrast to the Forgotten Knights, which players must unlock by conquering the Empowered Monoliths, the Woven faction can be accessed immediately upon reaching the Monoliths of Fate after completing the main campaign.
Steps to Join the Woven Faction
To become a member of the Woven, players must first locate the Cemetery Echo in their exploration of the Monoliths of Fate. Within this Echo lies a unique side zone known as the Cemetery of the Erased. Clearing this area necessitates defeating the mini-boss contained within, which subsequently opens a portal to the Haven of Silk where players can formally join the Woven.
Advancing Within the Woven
Upon unlocking the Woven faction, players can engage with it similarly to other factions in the game. To accumulate Memory Ambers, the essential currency for this faction, players must defeat enemies marked as “touched by the Weaver.”The amassed Memory Ambers can be utilized to purchase faction items and advance ranks within the Woven.
Beyond gaining Woven ranks, collecting Memory Amber, clearing the Cemeteries of the Erased, and defeating Weaver-touched mini-bosses will grant players points for the Weaver Tree, a unique skill tree available exclusively to the Woven faction. This tree enables players to empower Monolith Echoes, gain valuable loot, enhance monster density, and challenge potent special enemies.
- Commoner’s Riches – Imprint a weapon or jewelry item to increase chances of receiving similar items upon enemy kills within regular Echoes.
- Anchored Reality – Gain enhanced bonus Timeline Stability by defeating foes in Echoes.
- Eclipsed Battleground – Arena Echoes will no longer feature on the Echo web.
- Duel Destruction – Increase the chance of encountering Champions in pairs within Echoes.
- Graveyard Prisons – All Tombs and Cemeteries contain a guaranteed Rune Prison housing a Possessed Exiled Mage.
Engaging with The Woven: Challenges and Rewards
Players who embrace the Weaver’s Will can earn powerful rewards by completing a variety of challenges. These challenges manifest as Woven Echoes, unique slottable items that modify encounters within the Monolith of Fate. Players can acquire these Echoes as drops from the Cemeteries and Tombs of the Erased, from Woven bosses, or by making purchases from the Masque located within the Haven of Silk.
Notable Woven Echoes include:
- Lostwood Folly – Generates a substantial quantity of Memory Amber.
- The Great Bridge – Allows players to shatter Set Items to create Shards, which can be crafted onto other items, transforming them into Set Items.
- Defiled Fortress – An endeavor that permanently empowers Nemesis encounters, maximizing the likelihood of Exalted item creation.
- Farsight Turtle – Permits players to reroll a Unique item that possesses at least one Legendary Potential, with the outcome being an increase or decrease in that potential.
- Confluence of Oblivion – Upon completion, amplifies the corruption of the current timeline, aligning it with the player’s highest timeline accessible to any character sharing the same stash.
- Gauntlet of Strife – Grants players the ability to reroll the properties of a Unique item by sacrificing another identical item.
- Oerden’s Watch – Enables players to interchange Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence, and Attunement on their items.
- Threshold of Eternity – Offers the chance to face Uber Aberroth.
The rewards that await those who tackle these challenges are ample, including new Weaver’s Will Unique Items. Additionally, players can Enchant Idols with fresh modifiers and Weaver’s Touch, functioning similarly to the Weaver’s Will on Unique items. This mechanic empowers the Enchanted affix with each level and allows for an extra affix, with players capable of having two Enchanted affixes on a single Idol.
This summary encapsulates the key information available about the forthcoming Woven faction, slated for inclusion in the Tombs of the Erased update. More details will emerge as the patch is released on April 17, 2025.
