How to Unlock Mastery in Last Epoch, Explained
To unlockClass Mastery inLast Epoch, players will first need to progress through tothe end of Chapter 2. During Chapter 2, you will go up against the Husk of Elder Pannion in a boss fight, who you must defeat in battle before being able to progress forward and unlock Mastey. After defeating Elder Pannion, you will be led toward the End of Time, where you can accept a quest titled “The Power of Mastery”. from the Forgotten Knight.
After speaking to this character, she will redirect you to an individual known as Elder Gaspar. To speak to him, you will need to walk the the left, past the merchants, and follow the floating rock staircase up to the second floor. Here, you will come across Elder Gaspar, who will be indicated with a gold marker over his head. Upon talking to him, you will be presented with the choice to select a Mastery Class, setting you up for the rest of your playthrough.
However, it’s important to note that in order to select a Mastery Class at this point, you must have invested 20 Passive Points into yourLast EpochBase Class, which are gained through completing quests and leveling up.

Mastery Classes are also a one-time choice that is finalized for the rest of the game, so be sure you read each one through carefully before making your choice.
