[2019] How to get New chapters

Hi,

Could you clarify which zone your last chapter ended in?

Alright, so let’s clarify because there’s some confusion here.

Chapters and Eras are not synonymous. A Chapter is a part of the PvE campaign which characters play through prior to reaching the endgame content designed for higher level characters. Each chapter represents a significant part of the overarching story, and as a result thy can vary substantially in size. Eras represent different times in the history of the world. At release there will be 9 Chapters, which take place across 4 Eras.

Last Epoch uses time travel as a theme, and as you progress through the campaign you’ll be travelling both forwards and backwards through time. While we’ll be adding additional Chapters to the game - including another in next month’s content patch - we won’t be adding additional Eras to the game, or at least we won’t be doing so prior to post-release expansions.

For the sake of example, immediately after character creation, you begin Chapter 1 in the Divine Era in a zone called The Forest Trail. You progress through different zones until reaching the Ultari Cliffs, at which point a storyline event involves you travelling through time and reaching the Imperial Era. You move from the Ultari Cliffs to the Mountain Cave, where another storyline event brings you forward in time to the Ruined Era where there is now a farm in that cave. The first Chapter comes to an end here, and the next Chapter sees you moving underground - initially to reach The Council Chambers, and later to reach the Surface.

Have you tried playing through the Monolith of Fate and the Arena? Keys for the Arena will drop after you complete a few successive levels in the Monolith of Fate.
