I updated my system last night (EndeavourOS) and it looks like the kernal didn't update correctly. When I restarted the system and entered my password for the encrypted drive, I get an error:
[FAILED] Failed to mount /efi
See 'systemctl status efi.mount` for details.
I can't remember the commands I used last night but I was able to check the version of the kernel I am using currently - uname -r I believe - and what is installed. There was a difference in versions.
However, when trying to mount the drive (/dev/sda2) I get an error message: mount: /rescue: unknown filesystem type 'crypto_LIKS'. I tried using cryptsetup luksOpen' and 'udisksctl unlock -b' but both return a similar error saying it is not an encrypted device. See fdisk -l results below:

Snapper Snapshots:
I recently setup snapshots with Snapper since I'm using BTRFS. From what I understand, I can just roll back my system to before the system update (it takes a snapshot before and after installing anything) but I got confused on how to do that last night - troubleshooting at 2AM with a lack of sleep will do that...
What is the best way forward? I'm happy to provide more information if it helps.

EDIT 3:
I think I have fixed it. I have chrooted and am busy running sudo pacman -Syu
E: uhh, let me be clear, use lsblk to figure out what the name of your encrypted volume is then append it to the unlock commands. You have to specify both the physical device (/dev/sda2?) and the encrypted volume name.
Yes and no. Initially it was unlocked because I mounted and unlocked it via Dolphin. The second time round I was able to unlock and mount it with udsiksctl
