Unlocking and Using Idols in Last Epoch

Idols are a big part of customizing your character in Last Epoch. They are special items you slot into your Idol Inventory to gain extra bonuses that boost your power in different ways. In this guide, we will go over how Idols work, how to unlock them, and the types of bonuses you can get.

Idols are small statue-like items that come in different shapes and sizes, each with its own set of stats. You equip them in a special grid called the Idol Inventory. Bigger Idols take up more space but also give stronger bonuses.

They can boost all sorts of things; damage, defenses, health, ward, resistances, and more. Some are class-specific, meaning only certain classes can equip them, but in return, they offer unique bonuses for that class.

The following list will show you the different Idol sizes and bonuses:

• Small Idol 1x1: Damage over Time, Dodge, HP, Healing, Stun, Non-Elemental Resistance and Damage.
• Humble Idol 2x1: Bleed Chance, Poison Chance, Health on Kill, Stun Duration, Vitality, Non-Elemental Resistance and Damage.
• Stout Idol 1x2: Ward, Ignite Chance, Shock Chance, Critical Strike Chance, Freeze Rate, Health, Elemental Resistance, Health, Elemental Damage.
• Adorned Idol 2x2: Mostly Class-specifics.
• Grand Idol 3x1: Mostly Class-specifics, Non-Elemental Resistance and Damage.
• Large Idol 1x3: Mostly Class-specifics, Damage, Defenses.
• Ornate Idol 4x1: Class-specifics, offensive upgrades, Buffs and Ailments, Non-Elemental Resistance and Damage.
• Huge Idol 1x4: Class-specifics, Damage, Status Ailments, and Defenses.

Before you can use Idols, you need to unlock their slots. The Idol Inventory starts small and expands as you progress through the story. You can unlock all 20 Idol slots by completing certain main quests and side quests.

If you finish the story and are still missing a few slots, just go back and complete any leftover side quests – it will not take long. Below is a quick overview of which quests unlock them.

Idols, on the other hand, can be obtained through various in-game activities, such as killing enemies, opening chests, and interacting with Idol shrines. You can also buy some Idols from vendors, but they cannot be crafted.

To activate an Idol's effect, you need to equip it in the Idol Inventory. Just drag and drop it into a slot, or right-click to auto-equip it. Idols sitting in your regular inventory will not do anything until they are slotted properly. You can also remove them at any time, just drag them out or right-click to unequip. No need to be in town to swap them around.

The Idol Inventory has 20 slots, and you can mix and match different Idol sizes and types however you want, as long as they fit. You are free to equip as many as possible within that grid to boost your build.

Idols are not only diverse in their effects, but also in their appearance and rarity. There are two main categories of idols: Basic and Unique. Basic idols are the most common and can be found as loot from enemies, chests, or vendors. Unique Idols are more rare and powerful, and often have a specific theme or synergy with certain skills or builds.

Below, you will find information on all Idols that are currently available in-game.

Basic Idols are the most common Idols you will find. They drop with one prefix and one suffix.

Unique Idols are very rare and only drop from specific timelines within the Monolith of Fate. They can have more than two affixes, as well as a specific modifier.

Starting with Season 2, Last Epoch adds a new way to improve Idols through the Woven Enchanter, found at the end of Cemeteries of the Erased. This is part of the new Woven Echoes endgame system introduced in the Tombs of the Erased patch.

At the end of a Cemetery run, you can enchant Idols using the Woven Enchanter altar. These enchantments work like upgrades, giving you new Idol effects, extra power, or enhancing existing Idol modifiers. It functions similarly to Weaver's Will for gear but is focused entirely on Idols.

• Not all Idols can be enchanted the same way; class and base type may matter
• Woven Enchanter enhancements are permanent and stackable with regular Idol effects

This system gives Idols a meaningful endgame upgrade path and adds another layer of optimization for min-maxers.

Idols are a big part of Last Epoch's customization system. They offer meaningful bonuses that help round out your build, and with Season 2, they are even more useful thanks to the new Woven Enchanter system.

• Unlock Idol slots by progressing through quests
• Slot different Idol sizes into the grid to activate their bonuses
• Use class-specific Idols for powerful synergies
• Look for Unique Idols from bosses and Monoliths
• Enhance your best Idols at the Woven Enchanter (end of Cemeteries of the Erased)

No matter if you are just starting out or refining a high-end build, placing your Idols correctly and making sure they synergize with your setup can make a big difference in your character's performance.
