Season 5 Patch Notes

Last Epoch's full Season 5 Patch Notes are here! Rage of the Frostborn brings a new Season Mechanic called Rage of Morditas, which leads you on a bloody massacre through your Echoes in exchange for rewards. Paladin, Shaman, and Rogue receive new Skills, officially giving all Classes their full Skill List. Merchant's Guild and Circle of Fortune both receive significant updates. Finally, for a challenge, Last Epoch adds a new Pinnacle Boss: Morditas the God of Bloodshed. Check out our Key Takeaways below for the most notable highlights from Season 5.

Key Takeaways

• Rage of Morditas Season Mechanic - Rage of Morditas is a new random encounter that begins when you find and interact with Blood Crystals. When you interact with a Blood Crystal, a timer begins, and you must slay as many enemies as possible before time runs out. When the timer hits zero, an arena spawns around you, and you must face off against resurrected versions of every enemy you took down on the way. When the encounter ends, spend Bloodrage Charges gained during the Rage of Morditas mechanic on a selection of rewards. Or, use Rituals to affect the quantity, quality, or type of items offered.

• New Boss: Morditas - Completing Rage of Morditas encounters as you play fills a Rage meter. When this meter finally fills, it breaks open to reveal a special Rage of Morditas Echo Chain. This Echo Chain concludes with a fight against Morditas himself. Slaying Morditas rewards you with a Demigod's Ascendance Woven Echo. This Woven Echo requires 400 Corruption and unlocks the fight against Pinnacle Morditas. Pinnacle Morditas is between Aberroth and Uber Aberroth in difficulty.

• New Class Skills - Paladin, Shaman, and Bladedancer get their final Skills in Season 5. Paladin gets Radiant Lance, a new aggressive option that calls down holy light and fires it forward in a beam. Summon Tide Elemental rounds out the Shaman's Skill roster, offering a powerful new single Minion with a lot of versatility. Finally, Bladedancer gets Dreamslash, a low-cost spammable attack with high mobility and Shadow interactions.

• New Uniques - Season 5 brings 16 new Unique Items and a new 2-Item Set. A few of these new Unique items, such as Death's Dance, are ultra-rare chase items and are even rarer than the Red Ring of Atlaria.

• Item Faction Updates - Merchant's Guild players have access to an updated Bazaar UI, with combined Listing and Selling. A new Auto-Suggest pricing feature also suggests a price based on recent sales, and there is also a new option to incrementally lower prices on your listed items over time. In addition, Merchant's Guild players can now Purchase and List all item types upon joining the Item Faction. Circle of Fortune sees a complete rework to the Prophecy system. Instead of buying Prophecies, you now simply select what reward type you want, and your Prophecies fill and complete automatically over time as you gain Favor.

• Traveler's Rest and The Nexus - Season 5 brings a new waypoint for Traveler's Rest, formerly known as Echo of the World. This makes Traveler's Rest a physical location on your World Map. The Nexus is a new UI that gives an overview of where you are in Endgame. The Nexus shows timeline progression, Corruption levels, Blessings, Faction Progress, and other activities.

New Features

Rage of Morditas

Rage of Morditas is the new random encounter you’ll discover while exploring Eterra. You’ll encounter this rage-fueled challenge in the Campaign and Monolith.

Encounter Basics

• This encounter can spawn in the Campaign as early as Chapter 2, and in Echoes in the form of a new interactable object, the Blood Crystal.
• In order to trigger the encounter, you must interact with a Blood Crystal.
• After starting the Rage of Morditas encounter, you will be followed by a non-corporeal Shade of Morditas who will urge you to seek out and kill as many enemies as possible.
• The event also starts a countdown timer, indicated on screen.
• Enemy kills during this phase will extend the duration of the timer with higher rarity enemies granting larger time extensions.
• The time limit increases for each enemy slain but can only be extended for so long. Try your hardest to defeat as many enemies as quickly as possible before the timer runs out. Blood vapor trails will appear that will point towards nearby enemies.
• As you defeat enemies and the Shade of Morditas collects souls, you’ll earn Bloodrage Charges that are indicated by the event progression meter underneath the mini map. Morditas will also grant you Bloodrage buffs, 1 of 28 powerful buffs is randomly selected for each Bloodrage Charge you have gained and will last for the duration of the entire encounter.
• Bloodrage Charges are accumulated by kills:
  • 20 Kills → 1st BR charge
  • 50 Kills → 2nd BR change
  • 90 Kills → 3rd BR charge
  • 140 kills → 4th BR charge
  • 200 kills → 5th BR charge
• Above 200 kills, the timer goes down rapidly. Once the timer reaches zero, phase two will begin as Morditas creates a gauntlet surrounded by blood ice. During this phase, all slain enemies in phase one will revive and attempt to defeat you.
• If you wish to end phase two early, you can leave the combat area for 4 seconds to do this.
• After defeating all enemies in phase two, a Blood-Filled Crystal will take shape, allowing you to interact with it for rewards.

When you interact with the Blood-Filled Crystal, you’ll have the opportunity to spend your Bloodrage Charges to claim or modify your rewards. A single charge can:

• Claim an Item
  • Once an item is claimed, the panel resets and 5 new items are generated.
  • You may notice that these rewards have a new kind of Forging Potential! Ice Forging Potential has a chance to be preserved when used in crafting, and Blood Forging Potential raises the critical success chance when crafting. Only items rewarded by Rage of Morditas can have one of these new Forging Potentials.
• Perform a Frozen Ritual
  • After highlighting an item, you may choose to perform a Frozen Ritual indicated by the frost rune. This ritual will allow you to sacrifice the selected reward slot, guaranteeing the remaining items are rerolled as the same item type. Let’s say you perform a Frozen Ritual on an amulet; the next set of items will only be amulets, with a higher chance of having similar affixes as the original item. Rare and exalted items will all have Ice Forging Potential.
• Perform a Bloody Ritual
  • Similarly, conducting a Bloody Ritual will banish the selected slot while rerolling all other remaining reward slots, and also prevent items of the same item type as the sacrificed item from appearing. For example, using the Bloody Ritual on a 2-handed axe will mean that none of the newly rolled rewards will be 2-handed axes. This effect will last until you pick an item from the proposed set of rewards. Rare and exalted items will all have Blood Forging Potential.

• The number of Bloodrage Charges will not carry over to your next Rage of Morditas encounter, but your rewards will stay the same between encounters. Your rewards will only ever change or reset when you use a ritual or select a reward.
• To give you an idea of the rewards, here are the new item subtypes, exclusive to the Rage of Morditas Ritual encounter:

  • Dreamshift: Shadows no longer perform Dreamslash. If you directly use Dreamslash while you have no Dream stacks, you will consume a shadow near an enemy to gain a Dream stack and perform Dreamslash starting from the shadow's location. Max 1 point.

  • Apocalyptic Vision: Dreamslash's base physical damage is converted to fire.

  • Trance of Wrath: When you use Dreamslash you gain Dream Aura for 4 seconds, which has a radius equal to Dreamslash's range. While Dream Aura is active, enemies within its range have +5% chance to receive critical strikes. While you do not have Dream Aura active, Dreamslash has 20% increased range.

  • Whenever you earn favor, all prophecy slots will gain charge progress based on the reward and lens selected.
  • When a prophecy fully charges, it will store 1 charge and can hold up to 99 total.
  • If a prophecy has at least 1 charge, completing it's target objective will consume a charge to drop the chosen reward.

• Fixed a visual issue where Chaos Bolt's area did not properly scale when its area was increased by skill tree nodes.

Corrupted Form

• Fixed a bug where the second and third abilities in the combo did not display an area tag. This was only a display issue.
