Unlocking and Using Idols in Last Epoch

Last Epoch features many rich and deep systems that allow you to customize your character according to your playstyle and needs. One such feature are Idols, as they greatly help you to improve your character’s power.

Idols are special items that grant multiple bonuses when you equip them inside the Idol Inventory slot of your character. In this guide, we will cover what Idols are, how to unlock them, and which bonuses they can provide.

Idols are small statuettes that come in different shapes and sizes, with different prefixes and suffixes, and can be equipped in a dedicated grid-like Idol Inventory slot of your character. The larger the Idol, the more stats it will grant.

Idols can affect various aspects of your character, such as damage, defense, health, ward, resistances, and more. They are divided into multiple categories depending on their size, as well as class-specific ones.

Class-specific Idols can only be equipped by a certain class, but will provide unique bonuses for each 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.

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 use Idols, you have to equip them in the fitting Idol Inventory slot, in order to activate their effects. Idols in your normal inventory will not grant any bonuses. In order to equip them in an Idol slot, simply drag and drop the Idol inside a slot, or right-click the Idol to automatically equip it in an available slot.

The Idol Inventory has a total of 20 slots. You can equip as many Idols as you wish, until all 20 slots are filled. Multiple Idols of different sizes and categories can be equipped at the same time.

Idols can also be unequipped. Simply drag and drop the Idol back into your normal inventory, or right-click on the Idol you want to unequip to move it back to the normal inventory. Idols can be equipped and unequipped at any time. There is no need to be in a town to do it.

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.
