Understanding the New Woven Faction in Season 2 of Last Epoch
Season 2 of Last Epoch has rolled out exciting features that greatly enhance the endgame experience, with the introduction of the Woven Faction being the most significant. This new faction allows players to evolve the Weaver Tree, providing bonuses that enhance various aspects of Echoes found in the Monolith of Fate, along with additional benefits.
As you navigate through the Monolith, players can also integrate Woven Echoes into the Timeline, offering a fresh set of rewards and challenges to further develop your character. Let’s dive into everything you need to know about Woven Echoes, including their functions, acquisition methods, and effects.
What Are Woven Echoes?
Woven Echoes are unique items that can be inserted into your Monolith of Fate Timeline, introducing new Echoes that present various challenges for a diverse range of rewards. To unlock this feature, you must complete the Cemetery of the Erased, a specific Echo that can show up in the Timeline.
At the conclusion of the Cemetery, you’ll come across the Altar to the Weaver. Once activated, it opens the Timeline Map, where you can insert any Woven Echo you have collected into the Timeline, thus adding it as a new Echo for exploration. Keep in mind that the Woven Echo used will be consumed during this process.
Note: Every time you successfully complete a Woven Echo for the first time, you will earn one point for the Weaver Tree.
How to Obtain Woven Echoes
There are several ways to collect Woven Echoes. The primary method is to purchase them from Masque in the Haven of Silk, where you can buy specific Woven Echoes using Memory Amber.
Note: Masque’s available Woven Echoes expand each time you increase your Rank with The Woven Faction.
Additionally, Woven Echoes can randomly drop from enemies within Cemeteries and Tombs of the Erased, or from any enemies labeled as ‘Touched by the Weaver.’ This method can yield a variety of Woven Echoes, but targeting specific ones may be challenging.
Some nodes in the Weaver Tree can also boost the drop chances of Woven Echoes from certain sources. For instance, the Necropolis of the Weaver node increases the likelihood of rare enemies in Tombs and Cemeteries dropping Woven Echoes.
