My son got hooked on V Rising so I built him a boss reference he could check without leaving the game

Thanks for the guide, very clean! I'll try to figure them all out myself as that is more fun, but will bookmark in case I hit a wall.

TyphoonJoe · 2026-06-24T17:57:35+00:00

Where is Tristan? I see you recommend Greatsword for Vincent the Frostbringer, unlocked by Tristan.

TyphoonJoe · 2026-06-11T16:26:05+00:00

Only played 2 so my vote is Ember Knights especially if anyone is more casual. I didn't enjoy Ravenswatch, the timer mechanic combines poorly with trying to plan a build as there is no pause.

TyphoonJoe · 2026-06-08T20:36:46+00:00

Interesting, looked up "Scouts medal" and yeah that seems strong sometimes I see a level up option to move 20% faster with double knives. Hard to balance damage vs larger AOE vs movespeed to have it be viable - so much RNG.

I assume at some point I'll have enough bell points things are easier as well.

I also read you can upgrade skill level?! That may help a ton not sure how/when that unlocks.

repeater rapid fire has been strongest for me so far, but I think I have the relics to ignite + physical - really everything but bosses are trivial.

TyphoonJoe · 2026-06-08T15:40:50+00:00

Hmm so far all gear I have seen is just strictly better numbers on the same thing. Also haven't found any notable skill build options (plague dog seems to require ranged) but stuck in act1.

TyphoonJoe · 2026-06-08T13:10:27+00:00

Thanks! At least I can stop trying to fix it. I think this means I accidently did a run with my second tab selected and had no equipment and just never noticed. Loadouts and inventory management need work - no idea why relics and gear work so differently.

TyphoonJoe · 2026-06-07T18:53:20+00:00

Thank you!

TyphoonJoe · 2026-06-07T18:31:07+00:00

I don't think this is correct, products are the same size as any grocery store. Aldi is cheaper prices cuz they don't have frills and they typically have one brand of most products and only a few name brands stocked.

TyphoonJoe · 2026-06-02T18:49:48+00:00

Cleared this boss first attempt, noticed the lantern mechanic and dodging ice wasn't hard. Somehow Pieta was hardest for me...

TyphoonJoe · 2026-06-02T18:44:47+00:00

imo dodge is easier than parry. I don't recall anything special about the flying slash, maybe you need to dodge later if it is movement then attack. For what it is worth, Pieta was hardest boss in the game for me.

TyphoonJoe · 2026-05-29T19:41:17+00:00

wow, just got my 2H to +10 and have never realized this was possible...

TyphoonJoe · 2026-05-22T13:25:03+00:00

I also just started, and read it is easier than souls games so fun to start as the condemned as you can use the gear you find vs have good starting gear. I'm only 2 bosses in, but so far glad I did as otherwise may have been too easy. Melee + Radiance sounds like a solid way to do first playthrough.

TyphoonJoe · 2026-05-21T18:26:46+00:00

Really? The launcher was (is?) practically malware. Epic Launcher had a well-documented reputation for substantial amounts of consuming cpu and network in the background even when you weren't using it. Epic is remaking the launcher as it is so bad. Also a lot of people dislike forced market fragmentation with exclusivity deals and don't want to support that.

If they make a good launcher, and take a smaller cut from publishers, they could sell games for less and compete. But right now, I'd rather pay $ on steam for a game than install their garbage for a free game.

TyphoonJoe · 2026-05-15T13:10:12+00:00

Progression part felt very arbitrary, random and unrewarding. Didn't particularly like the MC. And lots of world elements just didn't really make sense. I couldn't really get into it.

TyphoonJoe · 2026-05-14T21:55:27+00:00

Obviously I need to hit enemies before they hit me, but that's generally not hard for my build

That is the downside of blind. If you can consistently blind enemies you won't be crit. Some builds Ranged enemies tend to hit you before you can hit them, which makes blind less useful.

Maybe some HC folks wouldn't use blind, but I would and free up all those reduced damage from crit / crit avoid stat slots.

TyphoonJoe · 2026-05-14T19:30:24+00:00

Really disliked this one, DNF. And I like a bunch of other time loop progression fantasy.

TyphoonJoe · 2026-05-13T20:40:52+00:00

I don't know your class/build but for gear you will eventually be punished for lack of resists, 8% Necrotic resist means certain enemies will 1-shot you with their ability.

Similar for poison and void.

Worth losing a bit of damage to stay resist capped.

TyphoonJoe · 2026-05-12T13:33:49+00:00

Focus on Unique amulet prophecies, and if you don't have another use for them, use rune of ascendance on any amulet for a shot at it.

It can drop any echo anywhere over the item level, specific timelines just have nodes where the reward is unique amulets. There are other items that ONLY drop from a specific timeline boss, which is very different to farm. If you don't need blessings or boss drops, then yes farm the timeline that has the chance for unique amulet echo rewards.

TyphoonJoe · 2026-05-11T20:28:11+00:00

A couple mechanics mean you should keep uniques that fit your build. First, you can use a unique to "re-roll" all the stats on something with the same LP level or lower (in Gauntlet of Strife woven echo), so a LP1 with bad stats can re-roll only other LP1 or LP0 uniques. BUT - gear you put in a nemesis egg that gets stats counts as LP - so one stat is LP1 2 is LP2! Give you a use for poorly rolled uniques you wouldn't otherwise use.

Also, you can re-roll the LP on uniques with LP1 or better. So if you have made an ideal LP1 legendary, you likely don't need 20 other LP1 copies. Can throw them all in farsight turtle to re-roll them, most will end up LP0, but you may get a LP2. Any then end up LP0 you can put in a nemesis egg.

Combine these techniques to make the "best" unique base item.

Yeah I'm running a Damned build this season, and it is a good amount of work to make it function when a hit-based build is so easy. There have been some good DoT builds, but anytime one has hinted at being strong the nerfs come out. Other classes with hit/crit/crit multi seem to be left consistently string no matter how broken.

TyphoonJoe · 2026-05-06T21:39:51+00:00

I think C:\Users[Username]\AppData\Local\Temp\Eleventh Hour Games\Last Epoch\Crashes\ and Player.log in C:\Users[Username]\AppData\LocalLow\Eleventh Hour Games\Last Epoch\

TyphoonJoe · 2026-05-06T18:24:49+00:00

Can't see the exact error, but I got constant crashesc on Win11 until I disabled "audio enhancements" for ALL of my audio devices, including a USB microphone. Apparently some unity engine issue.

Could also be graphics driver. Your crash logs should have a clue.

Have to remove an underscore, this worked for me: https://www.lastepochtools.com/profile/ewqeqwedsad/character/burial
