Since the last patch, players are facing a number of problems with the game. Today’s Last Epoch patch 1.2.5 will fix a few of these issues.
Check out more details below.
Last Epoch Patch 1.2.5 Notes – May 22, 2025
Skills
- Fixed a bug where effects which recover a flat amount of remaining time from a skill’s cooldown were recovering a percentage of the skill’s cooldown as if it had no sources of Increased Cooldown Recovery Speed.
- For example: if you triggered an effect which recovered 2 seconds from Teleport’s cooldown, it would always recover 40% of its cooldown, even if Teleport’s cooldown was reduced to 2 seconds by sources of Increased Cooldown Recovery Speed. Now, if Teleport has a 2 second cooldown, that effect will recover 100% of the cooldown.
- Fixed a bug where Rive, when used with a two-handed weapon and shield due to Forgemaster’s Might, would use the two-handed visual effects, rather than the one-handed effects.
- Fixed a bug causing Raptors to be summoned above the Companion Limit when the number of available skill points for Summon Raptor changed, while also having summoned other companions.
- Fixed a bug where the visuals for Harvest would not scale in size alongside the increased area of Harvest.
- Fixed a bug where Acid Flask Traps created from sources of extra projectiles would sometimes appear visually to be floating.
- Fixed an issue with navigation that could lead to players getting stuck when using Evade with the Flames of Midnight ring equipped.
Divebomb Changes
Made a number of changes related to Dive Bomb and the Birds Aren’t Real node:
- Fixed a bug with Dive Bomb where Shadow Falcons would use Featherfall, despite Featherfall explicitly stating Shadow Falcons would not use it.
- Fixed a bug where the primary hit of Dive Bomb would not provide stacks of Dusk Shroud when both Flock of Crows and Birds Aren’t Real were allocated.
- Fixed a bug where the Shadow Falcons from On Wings of Shadow would not provide stacks of Dusk Shroud from Flock of Crows unless Birds Aren’t Real was also allocated.
- The Birds Aren’t Real node has been slightly reworked. Previously, allocating Birds Aren’t Real would cause Dive Bomb’s damage to always scale with the the Player’s stats. Now, allocating Birds Aren’t Real will cause Dive Bomb’s damage to scale with the Falcon’s stats if it is summoned, or the player’s stats if not.
- Updated Birds Aren’t Real tooltip to clarify the mentioned rework.
- Dive Bomb will no longer visually display the Minion tag if Birds Aren’t Real is allocated, and there is no summoned Falcon.
Controller
- Fixed Quick Move prompts for Nemesis Egg Panel.
- Fixed controller issues that could prevent users from interacting with the environment after killing Aberroth.
Monolith, Dungeons
- Fixed chest in the Monolith rest zone not giving loot after a Quest Echo

- Fixed the alignment of the loot filter icon in the loot filter settings.
- Fixed some text inputs incorrectly allowing rich text to be inputted. These locations should still accept the same text as before, but will display it as typed.
