Terek has been playing Last Epoch consistently since 2020, along with streaming and creating videos on YouTube. He fell in love with Last Epoch after putting too many hours into PoE and D3, so much so that he decided to speedrun it! He has been consistently pushing boundaries of what is possible in Last Epoch through his speedruns and has established most of the leveling strategies used today.

Introduction
Last Epoch Campaign currently spans across 9 chapters through 5 different timelines, serving as an introduction to the game and its mechanics. This walkthrough guides you through each area, making sure you don't miss anything important for your progression. Please note that doing every chapter is not mandatory as you gain access to the main end game system, the Monolith of Fate, after finishing chapter 3.
This walkthrough works for any class or build and covers quests, pathing, npc and bosses that you can encounter during Last Epoch Campaign. Last Epoch Campaign provide Passive points and Idol slots through its quests, but you are limited to 15 Passive points and 8 Idol slots . In total you have access to more than that, so this walkthrough focuses on the most optimal pathing while getting everything that you can out of the Campaign.

The Travellers' Camp (Town)
The Southern Plateau
The Ulatri Cliffs
Waypoint: No Quests: A Long Detour
Welcome to the world of Eterra! You are a traveler and are about to uncover the mysteries of what appears to be time rifts. You start with the quest A Long Detour that will follow you for the entirety of chapter 1.
Move forward, kill every monster on your way and loot every item you find.
Waypoint: No Quests: A Long Detour
The Travellers' Camp is the first town you have access to. Towns usually have a waypoint, a chest to access your stashes and NPCs. In this case you only have a Shop NPC and a chest to access your stashes.
Go East, open the chest to loot some items and then check the Shop NPC .
Look for these items, sell those you don't need and then continue to The Southern Plateau:
If you play a Rogue, Primalist or Sentinel, any two handed weapon with Melee Attack Speed, Melee Damage, any type of flat damage or bleed/ignite/poison chance on hit.
If you play Acolyte or Mage, any staff with Spell Damage or Cast Speed.
Boots with implicit higher than 5% or with Movement Speed.
Any Jade Ring or Silver Ring.
Waypoint: No Quests: A Long Detour
Continue moving east to The Ulatri Cliffs and focus Skullen Shamans if you see one, they give way more xp than other monsters.
You should level up at least to level 4, which is enough to specialize your first skill! Press "S" to open the panel in order to specialize your first skill. You also have access to Passive Points, press "P" to open the Passive Tree Panel.
This area is a small corridor with a boss arena at the end. The Ulatri Cliffs boss, Haruspex Orian, spawns after you kill 2 waves of monsters. Defeat him to free Keeper Leena and finish the quest A Long Detour . This makes a time rift appear, interact with it to move to chapter 2!

The Council Chambers (Town)
The Last Archive
Erza's Library

Waypoint: No Quests: The Last Refuge
Welcome to chapter 2! You just arrived in The Ulatri Cliffs, located in the Ruined Era and are investigating what is happening to you. Move to the Last Refuge Outskirts and talk with Guardsman Willem and Elder Burron on your way. This progresses the newly found quest The Last Refuge .
Waypoint: No Quests: The Last Refuge, The Void Assault (Passive point ), Evacuation (optional)
After a short distance, talk to Guard Captain Bravon to complete The Last Refuge and begin the quest The Void Assault . Further ahead you will find Guardsman Dolus who gives you a side quest called Evacuation , which only rewards a small amount of gold and experience. The rewards aren't worth it, so skip this quest.
Continue east by taking the northest path until you reach Elder Erza. Defeat the waves of monsters tto unlock the path to The Council Chambers.
Waypoint: Yes Quests: The Void Assault (Passive point ), Finding Pannion, Erza's Ledger (Avarice), Artem's Offer (Gambler's Fallacy)

When you enter the town, talk to Elder Gaspar to complete The Void Assault and begin the quest Finding Pannion , then take the quest from Elder Erza called Erza's Ledger and the quest from the Gambler NPC called Artem's Offer .
Move until you reach Erza's Library to do either of Erza's Ledger or Artem's Offer quest. Once it's done, go back to The Last Archive and move north east to Pannion's Study.
Erza's Library is a small area where you need to interact with a chest at the north. Once it is done, go back to The Council Chambers by using your portal (press "T") and talk to the Gambler NPC if you want Gambler's Fallacy or Elder Erza if you want Avarice.
As you cannot take both, I recommend Avarice as it is the best one for most build. Then go back to The Last Archive to reach Pannion's Study.

Move until you reach another time rift to get back to The Precipice. There you have 2 path, the one on the right leads you directly to The Armoury, while the one on the left makes a detour by The Upper District. Go Right as The Upper District has nothing valuable for us.
Waypoint: Yes Quests: Saving Last Refuge (Idol slot ), Armoury Aid (Passive point )
Upon your arrival, you are met with a boss that needs to be summoned. Defeat every wave of monsters to summon the Voidfused Forge, then kill him.
Be on the lookout for the lava pools that spawn below the boss. They will melt your health!

Crafting is powerful and important for enhancing your gear. Press F and place your item in the crafting interface to level up the affixes and craft new ones! Adding health or vitality on a few empty affix slots can increase your HP by a significant amount!

Crafting is powerful and important for enhancing your gear. Press F and place your item in the crafting interface to level up the affixes and craft new ones! Adding health or vitality on a few empty affix slots can increase your HP by a significant amount!

Key Leveling Notes
Keep your character at the area level by killing monsters. You need to maintain at most a 5 level difference with the area. Press C to open the character sheet to find your level and TAB to find the area level.

Crafting is powerful and important for enhancing your gear. Press F and place your item in the crafting interface to level up the affixes and craft new ones! Adding health or vitality on a few empty affix slots can increase your HP by a significant amount!

Campaign Leveling
Key Leveling Notes
Keep your character at the area level by killing monsters. You need to maintain at most a 5 level difference with the area. Press C to open the character sheet to find your level and TAB to find the area level.
If your inventory is full, stick extra gear in your stash. Don't sell your extra gear that have affixes to a vendor. Instead, keep it to use later or destroy it with a Rune of Shattering or Rune of Removal.
Crafting is powerful and important for enhancing your gear. Press F and place your item in the crafting interface to level up the affixes and craft new ones! Adding health or vitality on a few empty affix slots can increase your HP by a significant amount!
Always get the best weapon you can. Weapons are a core part of your character's power and getting a higher level base weapon increases your damage significantly. You can buy them at the Gambler NPC in the Council Chamber town and in the End of Time town.
Wait until the end (or near the end) of the campaign to dive into the Monolith of Fate.
At level 4, open your skill panel by pressing "S" and specialize Hammer Throw.
Passive Tree
At level 3 open your passive tree, by pressing "P" and begin placing points.
Step 1
In the first area kill every monster and pick up all the loot.
Advance to the Travelers' Camp then loot the chest on the right side.
Talk to the Shop NPC, sell your items, and look for a two handed weapon. After that look for Jade Ring and Boots with Movement Speed.
The Shop NPC has this icon above his head and is located in the center of the area.
Continue forward until The Ulatry Cliffs.
At the end of the area kill Haruspex Orian and take the time rift to travel to the Ruined Era.

Continue to the Pannion's Study and kill Pannion's Void corrupted students.
Portal to come back to Elder Erza in The Council Chambers to get Avarice.
Important: When you get back to town, do NOT talk to the Gambler NPC before getting your reward, otherwise you obtain Gambler's Fallacy instead of Avarice.
Step 2
Get to The Precipice by going north and kill the Idol of Loathing.
Avoid the waves of void balls the boss throws.
Take the time rift to get to The Ancient Cavern and take the time rift again at the end.
Go east to The Armoury and kill Voidfused Forge.
Don't get too close to the boss, as his lava melts your Health.
After killing him, go east and do the Armoury Aid side quest by talking to Surviving Guard and Quartermaster Manus.
Continue to The Lower District and kill The Husk of Elder Pannion.
Don't stand in his lightning bubble or his fire beam, which always rotates clockwise.
Portal back to The Council Chambers and complete all quests to unlock your first Idol slots and an extra Passive point.
Important Idols will now drop which are a large part of your character's power. If you want to know more about Idols check out the Gear Walkthrough.
Go to the Sheltered Woods by going east.

Gearing
In this chapter you want as much Physical Resistance and Void Resistance as possible. Void monsters like Festering Cultist, Void Horror and Void Prophet are a lot more dangerous than previous monsters. Check vendors or craft, as necessary.
Step 1
Continue to The Surface, then go east to The Forsaken Trail and The Cultist Camp.
Upon reaching The Cultist Camp, check your resistances by pressing "C". If your void and physical resistances are not at least at 20% teleport to The Council Chambers and shop or gamble items to get you there.
Once your resistances are fine, talk to Maceth and Leyda and go to the south
