If you thought Woven Echoes was already throwing enough at you, welcome to the Gauntlet of Strife — where Last Epoch asks, "How many bosses can you handle before regretting your life choices?"
This isn’t just another crafting item. It’s a boss rush with a twist, and if you play it right, you walk away with double the loot and a shot at perfecting your Uniques.
What is the Gauntlet of Strife?
The Gauntlet of Strife is a special event you’ll find in Woven Echoes after diving deep into the Monolith of Fate. Here’s the short version:
Fight 7 empowered bosses, back-to-back.
Each time you beat a boss, a champion spawns to keep you on your toes.
Survive the madness, and you’ll get two copies of a random Unique item.
After that, you unlock the Sacrificial Altar, where things get interesting.
How to Get the Gauntlet of Strife
Drop Location: Woven Echoes (Min Level 100).
Corruption Requirement: You’ll need 200 corruption to place it.
Buy Option: If RNG hates you, you can buy it for 3,000 Memory Amber—but only if you’ve hit Faction Rank 9.
Reweaving: Yes, you can reweave it if needed.
How the Sacrificial Altar Works
Once you’ve defeated all 7 bosses and their tag-along champions, you’ll get two identical Uniques. This isn’t just a "yay, more loot" moment—this is where you fix that bad roll.
At the Sacrificial Altar, sacrifice one copy to reroll the stats on the other.
It’s basically Last Epoch’s way of saying, "Here’s a second chance because we know your luck is terrible."
Perfect for those times when you finally get that rare Unique... with garbage rolls.
Is the Gauntlet of Strife Worth It?
If you like boss fights and hate poorly rolled Uniques—yes. It’s a solid way to farm high-value gear and polish it up without praying to RNGesus every time.
Just be ready. These aren’t your average bosses—they’re empowered, and they bring friends.
Final Blurb
The Gauntlet of Strife is where skill meets stubbornness. Survive a parade of bosses, grab your double Uniques, and make the Sacrificial Altar work in your favor. It’s tough, but if you’re aiming for that perfect gear setup, this is where you prove you deserve it.
