Last Epoch 1.5.1: Bug Fixes Target Factions, Monolith Access, and UI

Last Epoch's 1.5.1 update, published October 2, 2026, is a bug-fix patch with no listed new content — but several of its corrections carry real mechanical weight.

What changed

Skills & Passives

• Dreamslash no longer risks trapping the player inside Yrun, Champion of Morditas.
• Cooldown abilities cast near 0 mana will now fire correctly rather than going on cooldown without activating.

Campaign & Monolith

• Time rift campaign scenes will no longer cause players to miss a region waypoint and backtrack.
• Pinnacle Morditas is now accessible to Legacy and Offline characters.
• A flickering light on first entry to the Demigod's Ascendance scene is resolved.

Factions

• The Circle of Fortune's Lens of Tyranny has been reworked: it now delivers a consistent 2× base charge rate with no banked favor, and consumes banked favor at 10% of the incoming rate to reach 2.1× — a significant clarification over its previously inconsistent behavior. Its description has been corrected to match.
• Circle of Fortune Rank 3 will now correctly produce omen idols rather than regular idols on omen idol drops.
• Merchant's Guild price-lowering inputs are easier to use with a gamepad.

UI & Other

• Escape key now reliably closes all open panels.
• Bonus Stability display on echo re-entry is fixed.
• Clicking a quest now correctly shifts the map focus to the target location.
• The Monstrous Rage bloodrage buff minion explosion now triggers consistently.
• Rage of Morditas rewards and Portents of Blood corrupted items can no longer appear pre-ruined.

For Circle of Fortune players especially, the Lens of Tyranny correction moves the mechanic from opaque and inconsistent to predictable — a meaningful quality-of-life gain.
