Alternate leveling paths in Last Epoch offer players a way to bypass large portions of the campaign, providing a faster route to level 100 and access to endgame content. These paths are especially useful for players who have already completed the main story and want to level multiple alternate characters efficiently without replaying every chapter.

How Alternate Leveling Paths Work
After finishing the main campaign, players unlock the Monolith of Fate, an endgame activity that rewards Dungeon Keys upon defeating bosses. These keys are required to access alternate leveling dungeons. By using these keys, players can enter special dungeons during certain chapters of the campaign, fight through enemies and bosses, and then exit the dungeon at a much later chapter, effectively skipping intermediate story sections.

Locations and Details of Alternate Paths
1. Lightless Arbor (Chapter 2): This dungeon requires a Lightless Arbor key and allows players to skip ahead to Chapter 4 (The Risen Lake). It’s a level 22 dungeon with a relatively straightforward boss, making it suitable for most characters. Completing it places you in a good position for the next skip.

2. Soulfire Bastion (Chapter 4): Accessed with a Soulfire Bastion key, this dungeon skips players to Chapter 7 (Kolheim Pass). It features mechanics such as switching between fire and necrotic immunity, offering great experience and side quests that help unlock passive points and Idol slots, which are crucial for build customization.

3. Temporal Sanctum (Chapter 5): This is a level 55 dungeon that, once completed, skips players to Chapter 8 (The Radiant Dunes). It is especially useful for players who want to avoid the challenging Lagon fight in Chapter 7 and gain earlier access to Maj’Elka city and its factions.

When to Use Alternate Leveling Paths
Alternate leveling paths are ideal for leveling alternate characters quickly, especially after the first playthrough. They allow players to bypass repetitive campaign content and jump into more challenging zones with better rewards. Players with multiple dungeon keys can chain these skips to reach endgame content faster while still collecting important passive points and gear along the way.

The Prophecy system in Last Epoch is a core mechanic tied to the Circle of Fortune faction, designed to help players target farm specific high-value loot through short quests and conditions. It enhances endgame progression by providing focused objectives that reward powerful gear and crafting materials.

Unlocking Prophecies
To access Prophecies, players must first join the Circle of Fortune faction. This is done by progressing through the main story up to Act 9, then traveling to Maj’elka and speaking with the faction NPC at the Observatory. Once a member, players earn Favor by killing monsters and completing quests, which is then spent at one of four telescopes in the Observatory to purchase Prophecies.

How Prophecies Work
Each telescope corresponds to a cardinal constellation region, each offering Prophecies that reward specific loot types:
1. Arctus (North): Armor pieces like helmets, gloves, boots
2. Eos (East): One-handed and two-handed weapons, off-hand items
3. Mesembria (South): Jewelry such as rings, amulets, relics
4. Dysis (West): Crafting materials, idols, runes, keys

When purchasing a Prophecy, players receive a small quest with conditions such as defeating certain bosses, completing monolith timelines, dungeons, arenas, or campaign content. Completing these objectives yields guaranteed rewards like Exalted or Unique items, crafting currencies, or specific gear pieces.

Prophecy Types and Usage
Prophecies vary in rarity and cost-Rare Prophecies are cheaper and drop more items, while Unique Prophecies cost more but guarantee legendary potential. Some Prophecies allow multiple completions before expiring, enabling repeated farming of desired loot. However, Prophecies do not drop boss-specific unique items tied to their original sources but focus on world-drop Uniques and crafting resources.

Prophecy Lenses
To refine loot targeting, players can use Prophecy Lenses, which influence the type and conditions of Prophecies offered by telescopes. For example, lenses can bias Prophecies toward monolith timelines, specific item types (like shields), or rarities (such as Unique items). Lenses are purchased from an NPC in the Observatory and equipped to customize the Prophecy pool, greatly enhancing farming efficiency.
