Best Monolith to farm Herald of the Scurry in Last Epoch
To get Herald of the Scurry, focus on farming Echoes in The Black Sun Empowered Monolith. This Monolith has Echoes that reward you with Unique or Set Helmets, including the Squirrel helm, so completing them multiple times is the best way to get this item to drop.
Choose the Empowered version over Normal for a better chance of Unique Helm nodes appearing, giving you more opportunities to find this item. Additionally, boost your corruption level to improve your chances of getting Unique drops, like Herald of the Scurry, and you’ll eventually acquire it after enough farming.
Herald of the Scurry from Runes of Ascendance in Last Epoch
You also have a chance to obtain Herald of the Scurry by gambling with Runes of Ascendance, though the odds are roughly two percent. Players have observed that gear obtained this way often has zero Legendary Potential, which means crafting a Legendary version of this helmet might not be possible. If you’re willing to use your Runes of Ascendance for a chance at a basic version of Herald of the Scurry, it’s worth a shot—but otherwise, you’re better off farming at the Black Sun Empowered Monolith.
