Official Last Epoch 1.0.4 patch notes: Terrain changes, Totem and Ballista fixes, and more

Last Epoch 1.0.4 patch notes are here, detailing all the changes for the 1.0.4 build that went live on March 20, 2024. While a mid-cycle balance pass nerfed a few meta builds in the last patch (1.0.3), the Class and Skill-related changes are comparatively tame this time around. Instead of balance changes, this patch is geared more towards ironing out some jank in the Last Epoch tilesets that many players reported issues with.

The Hidden Oasis Echo maps, in particular, are now all patched up and should not cause FPS drops and graphical artifacts. Let's look at the full Last Epoch 1.0.4 patch notes, including all the minor changes and specific bug fixes.

Major Changes in Last Epoch 1.0.4

Players can no longer stun themselves. An example of this was by using the Signet of Agony node in Bone Curse
Replaced the XP Tome sound effect in Echo of a World
Flagged more prophecy rewards as “rare/valuable” (which animates them to rotate and makes them slightly larger than other stars in the Constellation)
Increased the favor cost multiplier for Glyph of Despair Prophecies
You can no longer gain experience while in the grace period (the period of invulnerability after arriving in a new area)
Added missing name in Graveyard
Overhauled terrain, spawners, and shrines in the Hidden Oasis Echo Map to both improve visuals and performance and fix hideable issues with palms
Overhauled visuals and added Scene Variants for Lightless Pits Echo Map

Fixed a bug where Tempest Strike Totem, Warcry Totem, and Upheaval Totem were not benefiting from Spell Lightning Damage for Existing Totems (such as the Omen of Thunder Unique Item)

Fixed a bug where the Acolyte’s Wraith’s weapons would drift during animation transitions
Fixed a bug where Mirage hits on Puncture would not grant stacks of Bleeding Fury

Enemies

Controller

Fixed a bug where advancing dialog with a controller would skip pages if there were multiple.

Fixed a bug where Prophecies could be re-rolled on login in multiplayer

Fixed a bug where Vsync was not applying during the Splash Screen (this appears before the login screen)
