bastion

[regal crest]

Can't spam dash your way out of trouble in Bastion.

[hybrid light]

still don't exactly understand how the army carbine works

[half thorn]

I think I’m only about like halfway through the game, but I’m having a lot of fun figuring out the lore surrounding the different gods. There so cool!

[teal cave]

I love how nobody mentions the banger ost

[open python]

I mean people do though? It's brought up pretty regularly

[stable sierra]

hi i just wanted to say that the ending of the last stage in bastion when ||you save zulf and his song starts playing|| hits me harder every time

the way that song is delivered is so deeply emotional on a level I cannot understand

i also wanted to ask if anyone knows what might cause discord overlay to flicker while i'm playing bastion

it shows up, but doesn't work properly and often causes it to crash

only mention i could find was a suggestion to turn off fullscreen - which does make it show up, but doesnt fix the glitch

[stable sierra]

update, should anyone else have this problem - i switched my gpu to the built in/low performance one, seemed to fix it

game sill runs fine

[stable sierra]

spoilers but i just had a crazy realization

ah wait i cant post images

[open python]

(imgur, or send somewhere else and share the image link)

[stable sierra]

its okay, i dont need to post an image

well the realization is that "game where a heroic former child soldier with white hair does a lot of morally ambiguous killing to save the world ||from a government conspiracy||" describes both Metal Gear Rising and Bastion

and i think thats pretty funny becuase.. wow thats awfully specific for two very different games

[wet magnet]

If I had a nickel for every time that happened, I’d have 2. Which isn’t a lot, but its weird that it happened twice

[stable sierra]

LMAO yeah exactly

[hollow pilot]

Hey I really need help with an issue regarding bastion launching. @open python The game just won't launch at all.

I've seen several people with this issue all over the steam forums and reddit. Is there any solution to this? The game just says: Running for about 2 seconds and then does nothing. The game just won't launch.

The only solution I can find is setting the beta to legacy. But is that really the only way? I just don't want future new buyers of the game to get mad and refund it because it won't launch. I also wanna play lol, as I've never played it before

[open python]

I can take more of a look later, but could you try starting the game directly from the exe, including starting it as Admin?

[hollow pilot]

Yep brb

[hollow pilot]

This sadly does nothing as well

For now I'll play it in legacy beta. But I really hope there is a patch or fix sometime because a lot of people are having the same issue

[open python]

Sorry for the delay, some stuff came up.

Could you send (either here or DM) where you found those solutions? Might help with looking into it.

Also, what OS are you using?

[hollow pilot]

The solution I found on some random steam forum. Don't remember where. But I'll send what I did to fix it. I'll send the screenshot in dms since I can't here.

Also for OS. Windows

[open python]

What version of Windows?

[hollow pilot]

11, but the issue also seems to be on 10 as well.

But as for me 11.

[errant flower]

👀

[errant flower]

i come bearing terrible gameplay

[violet valve]

hey there @errant flower things like this belong in the #self-promotion channel

[crude patrol]

Just wanted to pop in and say that I got hit kinda hard by Covid back when the OG strain was raging and there were no vaccines, although I was still much more fortunate than others who got it, and while I was kind of freaking out, holed up in my bedroom, played through Bastion multiple times and just loved everything from the artwork to the music to the acting to the story.

Thank you ❤️

I should've stopped by earlier but it wasn't until a couple days ago that I started up and promptly fell in love with Hades and it reminded me that I should express some gratitude. Tremendous, inspiring work on all accounts from what I've played from your studio.

[hollow adder]

Hey guys,
Reached out to Supergiant on twitter but will post it here too. I've got an old signed Bastion poster that I purchased when the game came out. Unfortunately I never really found a home for it and it's been gathering dust. It would be a shame for me to throw it away so it's free to a good home in the UK/EU. Chuck me a DM if you're interested. Looks like it's signed by https://twitter.com/0jenzee0

https://twitter.com/jakemitchole/status/1578692954041958401

Jake (@jakemitchole)

@SupergiantGames Hey guys, I have this signed poster I purchased when Bastion came out that has been in storage. I no longer have a place for it but think it'd be a shame for it to go to waste. Any chance you could help me find a home for it? (Free to UK/EU)

Twitter · Oct 8, 2022, 10:25 AM

[tidal echo]

Jealous that's an awesome poster

[faint saffron]

Sent you a dm 🙂

[fierce compass]

Wish i lived in the uk

[hushed pier]

me too

[forest ember]

Just started Bastion today, God is it so much fun

Brusher patrol got me

[torn jolt]

So what does the gameplay look like with bastion? Is it story based or puzzle?

Oe other

[spring bloom]

that one’s a headbopper

[spring bloom]

gameplay is sort of action based, i think? the game itself is very story-heavy

[cunning path]

clunkier than hades, roll has no iframes, moveset is more customizable, story is more readily accessible
fun and manageable to 100%

and there are a couple of puzzles here and there

hmm

ten days ago
my apologies for the ping

[tight ridge]

hii, i saw in steam that exist a demo version for bastion, but i can't find it anywhere even in the steam game page, can anyone tell me if the demo is still avaliable or where i can find it?

[torn jolt]

It's okay, I'm glad I got more detail on it. I want to play it before watching it soo

Can't wait to meet bynn the breaker one day when I actually play it! Her song is great

[cunning path]

ah yes
meeting the breaker
assuredly one of my top fifteen favorite moments from my first playthrough of bastion

[oblique jewel]

Thinking of getting this

Its like 3€ on ps4

Does it hold up well?

[dire vine]

YES

[oblique jewel]

Cool

[oblique jewel]

OK i got it

[shrewd depot]

have fun!

[oblique jewel]

Im Loving this

Its bursting with charm

It has so much personality

[oblique jewel]

Played some more

Just discovered the whole reflections thing

Im having an absolute blast

This is such a High quality game

[oak vector]

Bastion

[hollow pilot]

Bastion

[oak vector]

Bastion

[rare quartz]

Bastion

[oblique jewel]

Uuh

Whats wrong with colfrod cauldron

My camera going crazy

Basically unplayable

I completed the level

But what was that

Is that known?

[oblique jewel]

Yeah forget about the bug

I beat the game

What a masterpiece

So amazing

❤️

Supergiant i love you

Only Pyre left now

[astral stratus]

I bought Bastion years ago but never got into it. Played the hell out of Hades and loved it. Kept looking for similar games and came back to this and wow! Excellent gameplay, really inventive weapons, beautiful artwork. Like @oblique jewel - I just have Pyre left now!

[shrewd depot]

Enjoy Pyre!

And glad you enjoyed bastion too

||did you save zulf tho||

[bright mural]

Will there ever be a Bastion Physical release on the Switch?

[tidal echo]

most likely not

[plain gyro]

Dang. Was hoping for a release from Limited Run or something like that.

[oak vector]

Bastion

[calm cove]

Just got bastion let's gooo

And this will be my 4th and final supergiant game

...until they release their next game

[brisk cypress]

Does anyone happen to have a copy of the Bastion sheet music? The only link I can find for it points to the old shop page, which is empty (https://store.supergiantgames.com/collections/frontpage/products/bastion-original-sheet-music)

[dusty lava]

Just finished bastion again. This is easily one of the greatest games I've ever played

[hard oracle]

A great game for sure

[crystal birch]

when bastion 2

[odd spindle]

lmao

[bright mural]

Or Physical release on Switch

Honestly, at this point I'd pay good bucks for a SuperGiants Collection

[spring bloom]

lots of appreciation for Transistor's Paper Boats pops up regularly here, but let me put in a word of appreciation for Setting Sail, Coming Home

[cedar patio]

setting sail coming home wrecks me every time

[shrewd depot]

setting sail coming home just makes me feel happy(?) cuz for me the ending is just satisfying

mother im here tho

[chrome coral]

such a great song omg

[calm cove]

So I started playing bastion a bit

Gonna be completely honest

Not my favorite :(

It's not terrible or anything, but so far it's not something I'd recommend

[zealous linden]

if you were working your way backwards from the newer titles, it makes sense you arent sold on it yet. it was their first game, after all.

its not as flashy as like, transistor or especially hades

[spring bloom]

gameplay is definitely not as intuitive(?) as hades, but the music and the story are still top notch

[zealous linden]

i wouldnt rlly call the difference "intuitive", hades has a lot more to learn about it

bastion at the start is "hit enemies with a hammer and find the exit"

[spring bloom]

polished might be a better word. the fighting mechanics are similar in both games, but it’s true that you can tell which is the older of the two. it’s not something that’s a dealbreaker for me, but it can be for others

[dire vine]

Yeah, that's why I don't like playing older games (though 'older' usually means pre-2005ish in that case (yes i know older games exist!!)) usually, they're just really clunky to use. Though I found Bastion fine, partially because I still played it in 2013. I think part of it is just that the roll isn't really a dash? That's what threw me off coming back to it recently after playing Hades haha

[spring bloom]

yeah, i remember that catching me off guard when i returned to the game after a while. honestly, i play games almost solely for the story, so if it’s a good one i can forgive bad or clunky gameplay

[hushed pier]

i havent played Bastion actually

but this somg is so good!

Song

https://open.spotify.com/track/0tZ7EcmrIMXPLsklyNZfiz?si=jYm43KYCQLy7x8XMTdzHrw

[south knoll]

omg you really should

It took me a pretty long time to finish it for the first time but I really love it

[hushed pier]

i should!!

[south knoll]

A bit ago I got super into it again and replayed it like 2 or 3 times

[hushed pier]

ive played all the others

in the wrong order haha

i want t replay them all though

maybe this winter break i buy the bundle and play through them all

except hades bc im already replaying and its long

[dense merlin]

If i complete the second bastion file (after beating the game) will it be deleted again?

[calm cove]

Yeah pretty much, I went Hades transitor pyre bastion

[calm cove]

Yeah the music's been rlly good. Story hasn't been much for me but 1 idk how far I'm in 2 I haven't really been reading the optional dialogue

So far bastion reminds me a lot of sundered. No real "oomph" to the combat, I have no idea why I just got hit, my attacks miss because they want to, and there are a bunch of unnecessary video gamey numbers that go up

Fortunately all of that is less bad in bastion than in sundered

(I didn't like sundered, never even finished it)

[spring bloom]

don’t know how far in you are so i can’t say for sure, but you may be in for a surprise plot-wise

[marsh haven]

Yeah tbh bastion just gets better as you go

[placid fulcrum]

Bastion, I think, is a little like the kid’s hammer - it’s not the most elegant, but it gets the job done

[pine ridge]

the guy from overwatch?

[chrome coral]

[violet valve]

Strange, I don't remember a "the guy from overwatch" being in Bastion the video game

[fervent relic]

hey guys i have pretty much completed hades and am looking for a new game

should i get bastion?

[shrewd depot]

i say yes but dont expect the combat to be as fluid as hades, the story is still great and soundtrack too

is also pretty short so is fun for completting in 1 sitting

[zenith smelt]

wdym? there's rucks, zia, winston overwatch, zulf, and the kid

[fervent relic]

wait how short?

[south knoll]

you can complete it in 4-6 hours, but if you take your time with it will be longer. its also has some replayability

[fervent relic]

oh its that quick to complete?

thats so fast

its not really worth getting then is it?

[south knoll]

of course it is

its really good

[fervent relic]

but its 10 pounds thats the only thing, is it like hades where you play it over again to unlock more things?

[south knoll]

well steam sale is coming up in like a week if you dont want to buy it full price

[fervent relic]

oh ok

[south knoll]

but also that time is for more rushed gameplay/no extra content so you could definitely get more hours from a single playthrough than 6. either way, i think its worth it

[fervent relic]

ok

ty

[zealous linden]

is.,,,, 10 pounds all that much? for an.... 11 year old game?

its not like its that much shorter then transistor..... unless im misremembering..?

[deft moth]

iirc it's shorter than transistor. they also had an issue where due to the stylistic choices supergiant made for the game it got perceived as a children's game

which it isn't

and 10 pounds can be a hefty sum for a game depending on where you're from and what your standard of living is

[zealous linden]

theres something weird about learning people think bastion's a kid's game cuz of the art when it tackles the story beats it tackles

[deft moth]

sth about judging a book game by its cover graphics

[kindred crown]

is there a modding community for bastion?

[floral nimbus]

Like here its mostly hades, but they support Bastion and how to do it. https://discord.gg/PVjd7ezJ

[kindred crown]

Thank youuu

[open python]

My first playthrough was about 10 hours, and there was still a bit of content I didn't do

[fervent relic]

oh ok

[alpine steeple]

my first was about 13 hours, took 30,4 to get all trophies

[tribal juniper]

The other day I had to explain to somebody that The Kid is just what he's called and he's actually established to be kind of a badass.

[kindred crown]

lol

[hushed pier]

My friends buying me bastion for the holidays hell yeah

[cedar patio]

nice

tell us how you like it

[hushed pier]

alr >:)

[fallow sky]

I kinda wish that Bastion gets a remaster one day. It’s definitely showing it’s age on newer hardware, at least on PC. It screen tears like crazy even with vsync on. It also looks low res compared to SG’s newer games.

[alpine steeple]

These things dind't occur in my walktrough. Maybe some compatibility issue?

[fallow sky]

Possibly

[dense tulip]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/870813080857239554/1050611063764295731/Bastion_2022-12-08_20-12-35.mp4 not sure if links work here, but does anyone know if theres anywhere this track is uploaded (or an easy way to access the raw file)? mostly just curious cus i dont think its on the ost or anything (it might be in the files, but they're a pain to navigate)

[weak hatch]

I know what you're talking about. I had to mess around in the Nvidia control panel to fix the screen tear.

[austere sphinx]

should i buy bastion? it’s $2.99 on the playstation store right now but i’ve never seen anything on it

you know what why not supergiant can take my money

[alpine steeple]

it's pratically free. i surely recommend it for you can draw your own conclusions over the game

[fallow sky]

It’s a simple game compared to newer SG games but at the time the story & way its told was so good. Immediately made me a fan of the studio for life and they haven’t let me down yet.

[hushed pier]

Bastion time

[hushed pier]

having a lot of fun tbh

[cedar patio]

hell yeah. how far in are you?

[hushed pier]

Just got Zulf

i love him

[cedar patio]

zulf my beloved

worlds saddest man

[hushed pier]

Oh the god thing is interesting

[alpine steeple]

Zulf our loved one

[cedar patio]

zulf stans report in

[zealous linden]

by the powers of our love for zulf combined,

[hushed pier]

i havent played much buut hes so sad i love him

[cedar patio]

he has everything so rough all the time. give zulf a break 2k23

[hollow pilot]

bastion chat omg,

[placid fulcrum]

Just finishing the score attack mode achievement, and man in flamethrower and leechade a banger combo

It’s been years since last I’ve played Bastion, and it’s still an absolute blast

[rare quartz]

Have you got a strategy to succeed in the challenge of the war machete?

[kindred crown]

I have no clue how to beat that challenge it's sooo difficult

[shrewd depot]

I just stack crit/dmg over time iirc

Just get really good at mashing for the dudes that spawn at the start

So like go to middle, mash atk like your life depends on it, then go for whatever is left alive (remember to throw the machete for the turrets cuz otherwise you barely do dmg)

If you can find a way to hurt yourself easily during the test/fall off the map you can probably take the drink that gives you 100% crits when under 33% of your hp

[kindred crown]

Thanks!

[rare quartz]

Thanks!

[pine ridge]

they made a game about the guy from overwatch?

[kindred crown]

I swear I've heard that joke so many times

[zealous linden]

its not even funny

[kindred crown]

Yeah agreed

[hushed parrot]

i see this joke for the first time
good job 👍

[steel vigil]

Anyone still working on Bastion? 😅 https://i.imgur.com/kHZqxkE.jpg

I'm assuming it has something to do with the Steam Deck's suspend feature, it doesn't play nicely with audio engines lol

[stiff talon]

Love that error graphic, I've never seen it before

[shell adder]

Bastion won’t let me play the rest of the game on mobile I payed for it but nothing is happening

And I can’t restore my purchase

Like my purchase is still pending on Apple

[flint cape]

Hello 👋 .

On macOS + Xbox controller, I'm experiencing controller issues on Bastion.

If I try to run it with the controller's default setting, the controller isn't recognized at all. If I try to run it with the Steam input activated, it's very buggy.

No issues on Hades, with the controller's default setting mode.

[autumn granite]

try to use outside program

to read it

[balmy kestrel]

dont miss

bomb rush mid kill them as they spawn

[boreal pond]

I have the same issue. Paid on App Store after the intro and would not let me continue the game.

Is there a way to contact support?

[hushed pier]

cant believe i didnt find this before i love alina

https://youtu.be/4dtZ4TvftlU

[meager geyser]

Me too!

[meager geyser]

Did you get a fix, I have the same issue.

[shell adder]

nope

still stuck

[woven wren]

I have the same problem with Apple Store purchase. Cannot get the purchase to be recognized in game. Support requested provided generic they do not provide support 😦

[peak bolt]

Hm, I haven't heard of this being an issue before - it's odd that it's happened three times back to back suddenly. Nothing has changed on the game side in years, so there may have been some change on the Apple Store or iOS side, in which case what we can do about it may be limited...but we can take a look. @woven wren , @meager geyser , @shell adder , @boreal pond , could you email [e-mail] directly with as complete a description of what happened as possible? We'll check it out soon.

[woven wren]

Thanks, I have emailed support

[peak bolt]

Hey - just wanted to let you guys know we did get all of your emails, we've been able to reproduce the issue ourselves, and we're going to look into why it's happening.

[boreal pond]

Checking here every day to hear if there is a solution.

[quasi minnow]

to buy hades ll or to buy bastion

that is the question

[split merlin]

id say wait for a seasonal sale then buy bastion for like 4-2 euro

[quasi minnow]

ooo smart

seasonal snail

[boreal pond]

Take care if buying Bastion on iphone, some of us paid and did not get the game.

[quasi minnow]

Im not playing games on phone

I didnt even know bastion was on phone

Does that mean hades is on phone too ?

[split merlin]

i think it's only bastion and maybe transistor on phone

[modest dawn]

No it's not.

[split merlin]

man peckers are the worst

[bronze frost]

I’m pretty sure I already know the answer to this question. As of last night, Bastion has decided that I do not own the game even though the Apple AppStore shows that I do, and I’ve been playing the game for a couple years now. Does SuperGiant Games know about this issue? (By messages I see earlier, I’m pretty sure they do, just want to make sure.)

[violet valve]

@bronze frost they are aware, I'd follow the instructions tthat Ellis posted here so they have more information to figure out what occured

that sucks that the app store decided you no longer own the game 😦

[bronze frost]

That’s the weird thing. The AppStore shows that I’ve purchased it, but the game itself is acting like I don’t and won’t let me restore purchases. Oh, and I also already sent an email to them. That’s why I’m here.

[violet valve]

that's really odd it still sucks regardless 😦

okies, no worries, thanks for sending off that email ^-^

[bronze frost]

By the way, thanks for confirming. 👍🏻

[violet valve]

no worries

[peak bolt]

Hey @woven wren , @meager geyser , @shell adder and @boreal pond , and anyone else affected - thanks for your patience here. We're still investigating the issue, but we don't have an ETA on when it's going to be fully resolved. In the meantime, if you'd like to request a refund of the in-app purchase, you should be able to do so by locating your app store email receipt and clicking "Report a Problem". You can also request a refund by following the instructions listed here: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204084
Thank you again for your reports, and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience!

[floral temple]

I have the same issue - have gone through the purchase cycle many times now. It always tells me, “You’ve already bought this, do you want it again for free?” I try again, but the game never unlocks. Also tried reinstalling but didn’t help.

[fathom flume]

@peak bolt how will we know when this is fixed as I just want to play the game but can’t???

[peak bolt]

We'll update folks who emailed us if there's any news; I can also post here. For now, as stated above, you can refund your purchase if you'd like, and play the game on another device - the issue is with the Apple store only.

[tall flume]

I’m in the same boat as well, should I send an email too? I filled out the product support form but they directed me here haha

[peak bolt]

You can do so if you'd like, but there aren't any updates here. We can post in the channel when there are

[wide spindle]

Hello, I've been lookin' around for the official sheet music for Bastion. I may not have played the game, but I got into it's music through Hades. In my search, I stumbled into some decade-old articles claiming that the official website had some free piano sheet music downloads for the Bastion OST. As much as I searched, I couldn't find it on the site.
In short, I came here in search of the elusive sheet music. Can anyone help me with that?

[split merlin]

just finished zulfs dream these guys really love their dead lovers huh

[zenith smelt]

try here https://www.gametabs.net/forum/topic/15859

they used to be on the official site but i guess they got removed when they took down the store

[wide spindle]

Ah, thank you very much.

It worked.

[rare quartz]

! Bastion spoiler
||Hello, I'm looking for the Bastion ending image, when they escape from Caelondia||

[cedar patio]

i believe you can find it on the wiki, along with all of the other still images of the game

[rare quartz]

Thanks, I found!

[unkempt wedge]

Just played Bastion for the first time yesterday, I lovedddd the art style

Also I was surprised ashley barrett did music for it! I had no idea.

[hidden swift]

Yep, Ashley has been a part of Supergiant’s music from the beginning. Need to go back and get the platinum trophy for this. Still so good this many years on.

[cyan matrix]

@peak bolt I'm also having the restore purchase issue as I bought the game ages ago and my son tried to play it and the same on going issue. I contacted apple support and they said it's not their issue at all and directed me back to the developer. I asked if they could try to flag and in flag the content and they refused to try that for a fix.

Thing that sucks is my son really wants to play the game on iPad.

[peak bolt]

Hey there, sorry for the trouble - we're still working on a fix, and don't yet have an ETA on when it's going to be live. In the meantime, if you'd like to request a refund of the in-app purchase, you should be able to do so by locating your app store email receipt and clicking "Report a Problem". You can also request a refund by following the instructions listed here: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204084
Thank you for the report, and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience!

[cyan matrix]

It's been so long ago it's not even on the account history for them anymore. I appreciate it hopefully it gets squared away as I know it's preventing some passive income on that end as well.

[narrow tree]

I finished Bastion couple of days before, I have complex feelings about this game.
Mostly complains for the localization. Really sucks.
It's a great game TBH and the soundtrack is brilliant.

[bronze frost]

Thank you, Supergiant Games! Bastion seems to be working again.

[balmy meteor]

Thanks for the support. Bastion is working again for me too.

[floral temple]

thank you so much, the recent fix solved the problem for me

[heavy flower]

Eila bb

[maiden lion]

Awhile ago, I saw this quote from the narrator describing the Slingers. Would anyone happen to have the audio for it? I can't find it anywhere.

The quote is:
"A slouched hat, and sort of swagger. Those are the only signs. The slingers were never much for show and bravado; business was business, and they took their time with the rest. But when it came to killing, they'd let loose just a little, and all that pent-up style would come out in an instant, through the spin of a chamber and the flip of a gun."

[cedar patio]

where did you find this text?

[maiden lion]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-zGL3TtNvs Top comment here!

[cedar patio]

it's been a minute since i played bastion, but i don't think that's a part of the game. i think someone was just doing some song-inspired writing.

[maiden lion]

I think so too, but I was hopeful it might've been out there. Knowing how many narrator lines are out there, I was holding out hope I just never heard it.

[tepid fjord]

plz help me i can play game in 4k resolution in steam i try to force resolution but screen become big

[tepid fjord]

edite: i change resolution perfect but charracter be small and the map

[pale heron]

https://www.pcgamer.com/play-bastion-in-your-browser/

Lmao

I wonder if there is any way to play it or is lost media at this point

[bronze frost]

Well, I don’t know about browser; but, if you’re looking to play it on PC, you can buy it on Steam.

[pale heron]

Of course I already play it, I just find out this and I wanted to point it out

[cloud lodge]

Just finished a playthrough
Man, what a good game, loved it
Great story, amazing soundtrack, interesting characters and world and fun af combat

[agile relic]

Since I liked Hades so much I went and bought all the SG games. Started Bastion yesterday.

[frosty shard]

You're in for a ride

[agile relic]

Its pretty cool so far. I look forward to finding out how the story concludes

[cursive osprey]

How I know I'm a Supergiant Games diehard - I'm wearing my Bastion shirt on the anniversary of its release and I DIDN'T EVEN REALIZE IT.

[cedar patio]

happy birthday bastion!

[deft moth]

🧡

[stiff talon]

Happy Birthday, Bastion! Still my favorite Supergiant game.

[true pumice]

Hey I came on to this server because I need some help finding a quote

[hushed pier]

go ahead i’ll try and help a bit

[true pumice]

I remember a part where Rucks said something along the lines of "He learned to build, he learned to break" and I can't where exactly where he said it

[cedar patio]

https://bastionstory.wordpress.com/

this has all the in game text

iirc

Thanks!

[true pumice]

Cool! Been searching for a ste like this

[rigid moth]

Hello, all! I've been replaying Bastion (Steam) and having a great time pushing high scores in Score Attack, but I think I've encountered a bug! It seems like my points have stopped accruing on the leaderboard, and despite various attempts at a fix (reloading the game, reloading areas, getting newer high scores, verifying file integrity, etc.) I'm unable to update my score. Has anybody encountered this problem before?

I've been getting the following error (launch game > leaderboard > score attack > back to main menu > exit game), which I think is related: The game had an unexpected error and had to shut down. We're sorry for the inconvenience. If you continue to experience this issue, please take a screenshot and send it to: [e-mail] Build 1.50436 2018-06-18 System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null.

[rigid moth]

Do you still want the official sheets? I happen to have them!

[wide spindle]

Oh, no thank you. Someone else was able to dig up a link for me. I appreciate it.

[rigid moth]

You're welcome!

[rigid moth]

Hooray! My score updated itself after yet another Tazal Terminals run!

[tiny lily]

is this game on xbox or pc only?

[south knoll]

it is on xbox

as well as playstation 4 and psvita, switch, and phones

[halcyon turtle]

Hello

Don't you think that MK1 has a moment with the soundtrack from Bastion?

[tribal ledge]

Hi guys, currently playing through Bastion, I finished New Game 1 and moved on to Score Attack mode directly, I only have the dream sequences with all 10 idols active to go, what a challenge it's proving to be

[rigid moth]

10 idol runs devolve into Pike + Mortar. It's the waaaay

[tribal ledge]

Well I can't post a screenshot with that sweet 100% but I ended up doing it! The Author's Story 30 wave mode had me annoyed as I failed on the final 2-3 enemies a few times but in the end I did it. And yeah Pike + Mortar and the Leechade perk were what I needed. Overall, what a great first game and I'm glad I didn't sleep on it in the end.

I have now 100%'d Hades and Bastion, should I continue with Transistor?

[cedar patio]

congrats on 100%-ing bastion!

[tribal ledge]

Thanks I love it just for its short and sweet nature

[rigid moth]

Congrats! If you'd like, you can upload a screenshot to Imgur or some other Discord channel or DM and post it here as a link. I think Transistor is well worth playing, and if you like Supergiant stories and music, you'll probably like Transistor. The gameplay is a bit slower and more methodical than either Bastion or Hades

[fierce compass]

Yes.

[frosty shard]

Short answer yes, long answer yesssss

[crisp flicker]

bastion

[upper heron]

Congrats! 🎉 100%ing Transistor is not as hard as Hades, in fact once you got the hang it's fairly easy 🙂

[tribal ledge]

Thank you, I've been waiting patiently for a sale on it to pick it up ^^

[upper heron]

The function test achievements take a bit of brain work, but you'll get there eventually with a bit of experimenting!

[shrewd depot]

I should play bastion again

[pine rover]

Did someone say Bastion?

[jolly forge]

Idk might’ve

[frosty shard]

Pyre

[jolly forge]

Pyre

[cedar patio]

i was playing bastion again recently and tbh i like the movement in that game the best because you get to roll everywhere

just somersault after somersault

[hushed arch]

Where’s the best place to go to communicate that the £4.99 upgrade on iOS is not working? They’re getting an influx of 1* reviews on the App Store as a result.
I too cannot get past the free demo mode despite paying for the game unlock. Emailing the SuperGiant hasn’t got back to me

[mint gate]

I’m running into the same issue on my IPhone as well. I just can’t get past the in app purchase screen. I like the game, I own it on PlayStation too along with my laptop

[violet valve]

@peak bolt (apologies for ping)

[hushed arch]

@mint gate no one seems to care unfortunately. Shame. The game is great, but this is incredibly broken.

[violet valve]

Supergiant are aware of the issue. It is however the weekend for them and they've also just had thanksgiving holidays so I wouldn't expect a response till tomorrow at the earliest

[mint gate]

Is anyone from tech support looking into the in app purchase issue for Bastion for iOS?

[peak bolt]

Hey there, sorry for the delay - we appreciate you letting us know about this, and apologize for the inconvenience. We are actively investigating this issue.

[mint gate]

Any luck fixing this issue? I’d really like to play it again.

[peak bolt]

We're still working on it - we'll definitely update everyone who emailed us and who's posted here once the issue is resolved!

[mint gate]

👍

[bronze frost]

Man, I feel your pain. I remember something similar happening earlier this year. My game acted like I hadn’t purchased it, even though I’d played it several times through. They did fix it though. Pretty soon after I noticed the issue, too.

[peak bolt]

@hushed arch @mint gate We've just launched a fix that we believe will fix this issue. Please update your app to Version 1.0.50817, then in the game's Settings menu click "Restore Purchases" to ensure this change takes effect. Thanks for your patience here!

[mint gate]

Works great now

[slow mantle]

what is in you opinions the two best weapon combinations?

[shrewd depot]

Spike + uh what its name the one that basically that work like a sniper

[slow mantle]

carbine rifle i think

[slow mantle]

nice my favorite is the rifle plus the machete

[shrewd depot]

Machete is pretty fun

[slow mantle]

yeah especially with the cripple effect added in

[rigid moth]

Pike+Mortar. Absolutely no contest in lategame and most of the dreams

[spring bloom]

i stand by pike and musket (adjusted for distance shooting)

[cedar patio]

bellows + mortar

lots of fire and boom 10/10

[bronze frost]

I got multiple favorites. Honestly, last time I played, I was trying to familiarize myself with pretty much all of them. That being said, my go-to combo is army carbine/breaker’s bow + brusher’s pike/war machete.

[limpid wing]

what should I build first distillery or arsenal?

[zenith smelt]

I always build the distillery first and then the arsenal

[shrewd depot]

On new games yeah distillery first cuz I like the starting weapons

On ng+ arsenal so I can use the fun weapons

[limpid wing]

its my first time through

its quite fun

im using machete and repeater

i like to go FAST

[limpid wing]

ive been playing this for the last couple hours its great fun

unlocked the pistols

[shrewd depot]

Hope your button mashing is great

[rigid moth]

Or use Steam Input for automatic button mashing!

[limpid wing]

scatter gun and pistol combo loool

[shrewd depot]

but where's the fun in that

[limpid wing]

tbh I dont like the melee weapons that much

the hammer and machete

[shrewd depot]

Machete is fun with the life drain drink

[vagrant compass]

planning on possibly buying bastion, how much replayability does it have?

[rigid moth]

Has a neat NG+ and also a Score Attack mode you can tryhard if you'd like

[remote basin]

I hear it's also an easy speedrun to get into, if that's your sort of thing

[rigid moth]

Beat my 16.7 million Score Attack score!

[shrewd depot]

I sometimes replay it just for the story ngl

[vagrant compass]

well then ive got something to spend my $3.06 usd on

[rigid moth]

Hope you enjoy the narrator!

[shrewd depot]

have fun

[rigid moth]

Or else

[shrewd depot]

the calamity will manifest irl

[dire vine]

i damn hope so!! I have prepared for this!

[limpid wing]

I finished bastion

fun game

I guess ill do a new game plus now

just to see how strong I can get

and to get all the achievements

tbh I couldnt follow the story, I was way too focused on killing stuff

the narrator kept talking when I was fighting for my life

so I barely have an idea of what happened in the story lol

[thorny peak]

I can relate to that so much.

[thorny peak]

Yeah me to. Fun game but I just coudn't get my full grip on the combat unlike Hades...I guess Hades was more refined in that matter that's why I liked it more.

[thorny peak]

Good luck with that!

[left iris]

anyone else use a controller on steam and have a problem with the a button not working?

[rigid moth]

Did you remap anything in Steam Input?

[left iris]

no, i tried it with it on and off

[vagrant compass]

its time to start bastion

[left iris]

FINALLY got it working, i just had to reassign the steam inputs for some reason

good game

[lime topaz]

bastion from overwatch right 💀

[kind thorn]

duh

obviusly

[rich bridge]

Is it better to use DOT or just flat damage on the bow?

[shrewd depot]

For a sec forgot that bow also has DoT here and thought it was about hades
I mostly used dot for the bow trial in case I missed the perfect shot

[rich bridge]

Also, how is it that even after an entire game worth of skyways, the Kid still lands on his face every time?

[rich bridge]

So the damage over time doesn't depend on the damage of the shot?

[shrewd depot]

I'm not exactly sure

I don't use bow for long

[rich bridge]

Am I wrong to consider the musket more of a melee weapon?

[spring bloom]

it is a pretty short range weapon, but you can modify it to have a longer range

[rich bridge]

Maybe I just set it up that way

[south knoll]

hes like a toast with jam

[cedar patio]

dor i think that's my favorite description for the kid's face falling

[dire vine]

LOL

[remote basin]

Gotta strap a cat to his back

https://tenor.com/view/toast-cat-cruel-angels-thesis-gif-20884308

[elder fjord]

I didn’t realize shirts from bastion aren’t being sold on fangamer

That Caelondia masons shirt is so good

https://tenor.com/view/ineedit-needit-spongebob-squarepants-need-it-gif-4883495

Same thing with the bandana

[south knoll]

I miss them every day….

I hope there’s a restock of the old ones like the 10th anniversary one, I couldn’t grab them at the time

[cedar patio]

i had the caelondia masons shirt at one point but gave it away like a fouel 😔

[vagrant compass]

what should i go for on machete for forge

[rigid moth]

Honestly both sides are fine. Except for maybe the extra machetes per throw

[vagrant compass]

and is the spread musket completely useless

seems very bad

[shrewd depot]

I think some people like it but not a fan

[vagrant compass]

it seems just like a damage down

[rigid moth]

Yeah, the musket is rather weak even at point blank

It's really more of a knockback weapon

[vagrant compass]

i use it for squirts and because its "press 1 button to deal damage"

[vagrant compass]

i hate windbag ranch

actually now that i know to spawnkill its fine

[vagrant compass]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/915039466874372116/1192664179480465458/Screenshot_2024-01-04_190026.png?ex=65a9e613&is=65977113&hm=a662f70750a2eff688fb7de2d625eb57c1a4ec4bd415166afeba21b5cfce17c2&

you need 72

[mortal trench]

Rip

Some of the challenges are REALLY hard

I struggle with the machete one

[vagrant compass]

machete is easy

once you learn to spawnkill*

ive left hammer, hades rail, and shield for now
shield i can do, i just dont like the last scumbag

[mortal trench]

Please give a tutorial 😭😭😭

I need to get that done tomorrow

[vagrant compass]

go to where the green ones spawn
spam attack and kill 99% of the green ones

and when theyre all done, kill the spawners and turrets, and then pray that your aim is good enough(use the double throw)

[mortal trench]

That’s my problem, I always target the turrets

Thank you so much

[vagrant compass]

np

[vagrant compass]

ive been lied to by myself for slinger ranch
i didnt know you could just lock onto targets

[vagrant compass]

YOU CAN DUAL WIELD

[remote basin]

Enjoy combo testing!

[vagrant compass]

learned it while being bored and farming fragments/vigils with fang and guns

[rigid moth]

Yeah! Each weapon is like half a weapon from Hades: like they might have a secondary function (namely throwing), but otherwise they're each like a Hades Special or a Hades Attack

[remote basin]

It's better in a way since you could pair anything with anything

✨ variety ✨

[rigid moth]

Pike & Mortar meta!

[vagrant compass]

so far pike hasnt seemed very strong

hammer looks to be better, though mortar is just cracked

[remote basin]

Hammer mortar

[rigid moth]

Crit + Armor Piercing Pike is a thing of beauty

[remote basin]

I gotta replay through Bastion sometime

I recall thoroughly enjoying the challenge rooms

[vagrant compass]

nvm pike is far better now that ive turned on every idol

[shrewd depot]

Pike my beloved

[vagrant compass]

also how good is the residual damage from mortar

well i cant turn back to change anything

nvm i can

[rigid moth]

I say "meh" to residual damage from Mortar

[vagrant compass]

this is hell

ITS MUSKET TIME

[rigid moth]

Whatcha running?

[vagrant compass]

pike musket on the last stage(at least i think it is) with all idols on besides the 2 next to micia

[remote basin]

Pike musket is so fun

It's just satisfying to play

[rigid moth]

Is it the last challenge level or the last normal level?

Oh wait you said something about not being able to go back, so it must be the last normal level

[vagrant compass]

i already did all the vigils and proving grounds

[vagrant compass]

these bombs are annoying

[rigid moth]

They really are. Bombs everywhere

[vagrant compass]

if they didnt explode on contact they would be fine

[vagrant compass]

how do i get olak and roathus

[rigid moth]

Some idols are NG+, I think

[vagrant compass]

i see
why must stinkeye spawners be so painful

[rigid moth]

They have so, so much HP!

[vagrant compass]

my main concern is:
too many stinkeyes
they literally kill me in 3 hits
it regens
ura people around 90% of the time
lots of health

[rigid moth]

Are you using Secret Skills?

[vagrant compass]

yes, though the stinkeyes and everything around make them really hard to use

havent tried using bomb barrage on them yet though

[rigid moth]

Bomb Barrage is OP (that's the 5-bomb Mortar skill, right?)

[vagrant compass]

yep

although im using brusher sweep(knockback everyone around you) because i keep dying

[rigid moth]

Are you rolling around enough?

Using the good booze?

[vagrant compass]

kinda hard to do anything when there are 3 speared uras around me

[rigid moth]

Are ya shielding, son?

Maybe even using counters with the shield?

[vagrant compass]

yes

[rigid moth]

Hm

[vagrant compass]

its just that i have max idols

[rigid moth]

Yeah

[vagrant compass]

besides the 2 next to micia

ive dropped to 5 because achievements

what spirits should i use

6 slots

[rigid moth]

Do you have Lifewine and Leechade? Those two together are pretty broken defensively. Besides that I suppose Werewhisky, Lunkhead Liquor, Bastion Bourbon, and Black Rye are pretty useful much of the time

[vagrant compass]

im using:
bourbon
brandy
leechade
dreadrum
some other stuff i dont remember, but its not whiskey, rye, or lifewin

[rigid moth]

Are you at full HP very often? Would super consider Lifewine. It's really broken

[vagrant compass]

i am typically at max health, or at 0 health

[rigid moth]

It's basically the same effect that non Hell Mode Zagreus gets when he takes a chunk of damage very quickly except it pops when you'd take a killing blow (while above 1 HP)

[vagrant compass]

i generally die to:
lots of spear/sword uras
stinkeyes
peckers
big peckers

[rigid moth]

Oh then you could definitely use Lifewine

[vagrant compass]

oh yeah i also have mender mead and double counterblock damage

[vagrant compass]

im at the part ||where you find zulf on the ground, i cant seem to make a decision||

none of the buttons work, i can click on the circle, but it just gives a menu select noise and thats it

oh nvm

[rich bridge]

How do I handle windbag ranch?

I cannot get more than half of the green squirts before they all run off.

[shrewd depot]

Spawn camp them and mash like your life depends on it

Then train your aim for the turrets/any squirt that managed to escape

[rich bridge]

What do you think I've been trying?

[shrewd depot]

I mean there isn't more science to it

Can you fall off/take dmg before starting in that one?

I know the dual pistols you can do that to then use the 100% crit at low hp drink

[rich bridge]

My issue isn't damage

Well, that was the most painful of the challenges.

What happens if I get an upgrade material with said weapon already full?

[rigid moth]

You just end up with spares

[vagrant compass]

my strategy was:
spawncamp(leave less than 5 remaining normally)
kill turrets
throw stuff at squirts and pray(have the triple throw upgrade)

i personally feel like pistols was harder, primarily because i forgot you could lock onto targets

[vagrant compass]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/997389683334070342/1194489739814907974/Screenshot_2024-01-09_195513.png?ex=65b08a42&is=659e1542&hm=8f4f3185c282a11a25fcfaebc876b17210314d2927e5d228f34ca561a66e9eb9&
lifewine did absolutely nothing, and this is also my first time completing the dream at all

[shrewd depot]

gaming

[vagrant compass]

now i just have to do zulf and zia's dreams with all idols

[rigid moth]

Don't you badmouth my beloved Lifewine 😮

[vagrant compass]

poison and blue pincushion would like a word

[rigid moth]

Just don't get hit by those ezpz. Helps a toooon against frogs, Ura, and other big hard hitters

Also gives you brief invuln when you actually hit 1, I think

[vagrant compass]

"ura"
poison:

also how hard is 1mil score?

[rigid moth]

Very easy to get over the course of a playthrough. For reference, I got 8 mil in The Stranger's Dream alone when I streaked almost the entire thing with all but the most awful idols

[remote basin]

It's not bad afaik

[south knoll]

some guides out there

[rigid moth]

You can probably get 1 mil in the last level alone

I can give you a list of my PBs per level if you'd like, though it'll take me a while to compile

The score attack guide on Steam is very conservative. I beat the crap out of most of their scores save a few levels (grr Hanging Gardens)

Oh my gosh I might be the jazz of Bastion's Score Attack mode

[vagrant compass]

all you need is a widezia3 emote

[south knoll]

[vagrant compass]

how do i get the the beginning achievement

[rigid moth]

Gotta make it to the very end of the first level!

[vagrant compass]

also does the turret opera achievement relate to the turret skill, weeping nellie turrets, turret enemies, or some other thing

[rigid moth]

A NG+ Secret Skill!

[vagrant compass]

ohhhh

i was thinking about spamming 10 turrets

so uhhhhh(one turret died)https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/915039466874372116/1194828000345202769/Screenshot_2024-01-10_181917.png?ex=65b1c54a&is=659f504a&hm=1cf85834a2395de1985d33533e6c7077f122112cb59127d0ca779f80414a6bee&

[rigid moth]

Wait are you trying to use those guys for the achievement instead of the ||Portal turrets||?

[vagrant compass]

i just happened to be a victim of the sunk cost fallacy

placed one turret, and had to keep going

[shrewd depot]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1114450346782232666/1195438627845574696/image.png?ex=65b3fdfb&is=65a188fb&hm=37eed7911212a16b7530e0adfdab0bf86aa52b40f106ad22c82d5fd301e69e4b&

gonna go for all achievements this time

and god Zia's introduction level is always so good

[mortal trench]

Replayed for all achievements too! Working on upgrading mortar/pike because people recommended it. Bastion is shockingly good with it being their first game and all

[shrewd depot]

hammer trial done

funny how rolling and attack was more effective than standing attacks

[mortal trench]

Yeah I always found the standing still strikes kind of a scam

[shrewd depot]

dual pistols!

my beloveds

[mortal trench]

That was a fun trial

Spam clicking as fast as you can

[shrewd depot]

got the hammer's vigil too now

welcome back machete

last core obtained

surely it'll all end well right

time to cheese dual pistols trial

is shield's vigil you being at 20% hp or the enemy

figured it out

pike my beloved

and carbine

dream combo obtained

spike in a rail is a banger

[shrewd depot]

Pike trial is ugh

Had to learn when to face tank/abuse the 100% crits

[rigid moth]

Werewhisky my beloved

[vagrant compass]

and that its ancient

[vagrant compass]

i dont use drinks and i make it out with about 2 seconds remaining😎

[vagrant compass]

all idols all dreams complete, lifewine did nothing

[shrewd depot]

[vagrant compass]

now i just need to finish ng+ and start score attack mode

[rigid moth]

The key to score attack is chaining kills steadily!

I challenge you to beat my 16.7 mil score!

[vagrant compass]

ill probably be happy with 10-15 mil

[rigid moth]

Nooo 🐝 my rival

[vagrant compass]

i have yet to see how hard it is

wait is the achievement 1 mil or 10 mil

[remote basin]

1 mil

[vagrant compass]

one day i will do all dreams all idols no drinks

[vagrant compass]

rucks' dream without any upgrades and only 2 spirits is hell

[vagrant compass]

also any idea why i randomly lose half my health to a single bullet from turrets

so far ive noticed it happening once when i counterblocked a homing bullet, the next time it happened with the 3 spread turrets at the start of cinderbrick

finally done with cinderbrick

[rigid moth]

The shotgun turrets and homing bullet turrets deal lots of damage

[vagrant compass]

no when they hit me normally i dont instantly die 20 times

and then just one time i instantly died from full health at cinderbrick to the 3 turrets at the start, and i dont think hense makes them deal that much damage

[rigid moth]

Hm not sure! I do recall those little floaty turrets doing a lot of damage to me too back in the day

[vagrant compass]

random poll:
whats your favorite track

[mortal trench]

As in the music track?

If so then zulfs theme probably

[vagrant compass]

for me, zia's theme keeps getting stuck in my mind

[rigid moth]

I'm trying not to cheat by naming one of the vocal tracks, so I'm relistening to the OST now!

[rigid moth]

For me, it's between Terminal March and Spike in a Rail if we exclude the vocal tracks!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPWmrwF4MOI
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LB5GJWgRepY

[shrewd depot]

Spike in rail but specifically the version in remember the bastion

https://youtu.be/FGzHueVuI-w?t=3m35s

[vagrant compass]

sadly none of these tracks can compare with rucks' singing at the ordinary campsite

[shrewd depot]

I like the other song that rucks sings too

https://youtu.be/hAVmk4E07NQ

[elder fjord]

Where does that play in game?

[south knoll]

it doesnt

its just an extra song for the soundtrack

[cedar patio]

it would have been sooo good in game

but overall it's a banger

[lime kite]

After watching boy and the heron I still maintain that Bastion is like playing a ghibli movie as a video game

[shrewd depot]

god the calamity cannon sucks so much

(tho part of it is 100% cuz controller)

one part that I love about the last level is how your last power up is just

jump

[rigid moth]

Not just jump! You get hecking flips

Calamity Cannon gets a homing upgrade 👀

[shrewd depot]

I'll set my saillll

[rigid moth]

Fly the wind it'll take me

[shrewd depot]

back to my home, sweet home

this song in game is really elevated to something else

[rigid moth]

I've been wondering who "mother" is in his song? His homeland?

[shrewd depot]

I've seen others comment on how one of the gods (micia) is also referred as mother

[cedar patio]

yeah, micia is also known as mother by rucks

and is called the lorn mother

[vagrant compass]

and when you die, you return to her

[shrewd depot]

ruck's dream done (5 idols)

[vagrant compass]

10 idols when

[shrewd depot]

I'll wait for lvl 10 first lol

also wanna max out the mortar first

[vagrant compass]

the drinks dont get impactful after a while

yeah max mortar is really good

for all idols, you really only need/want:
champain
werewiskhey
LEECHADE
hearty punch(safety)
lifewine(safety)

[balmy peak]

I imagine this game isn’t getting bugfix updates anymore but if anyone knows I’m kind of curious what this error is saying went wrong https://ibb.co/gjjhTVj

[left maple]

I had that as well, no idea

I just ran as admin from the exe and it worked

[balmy peak]

Yeah I was hurrying through one of the levels in score attack and once I reached the end skyway it just died. But closing and opening again worked

[rigid moth]

Score Attack mode seems to have some crashes associated with it. I've had the bug screen appear while trying to check the leaderboard. My submission of said screen was one of my first comments here!

[balmy peak]

That would explain it

[dense cove]

on switch, is it possible to change the game's language without changing the system language?

[frank trail]

Sorry if this isn't the right place for this but I haven't heard many people talking about Mother I'm Here and the lyrics have been living rent free in my head.
This might be a bit random and probably something other people have talked about to death (I might have just missed the discussion), but I don't really think Zulf is singing "mother I'm here" (zulf's theme) but instead it is the Kid singing as he carries an unconscious Zulf. (Or I do think Zulf is intended to sing it, but I find it a more interesting interpretation if the Kid is singing it).
The first words are "I set my sail", but without it being written it could also be "I set my Cael" in reference to the Cael hammer which was the iconic weapon for the Kid, meaning that he has finished building up the Bastion and he has laid down his weapon which was used to destroy so much - he has decided to set aside everything except the shard and Zulf (note that if the Kid keeps his weapon and leaves Zulf the song won't play - this might be because we can't hear Zulf singing, but also because the lyrics no longer fit the Kid's actions.)

"Fly the wind it will take me, back to my home, sweet home" could easily be reference to the skyway taking him back to the Bastion where his friends are.
"Lie on my back, clouds are making way for me" might be what the Kid experiences when he is flying to his destination, on his trips he has some quiet time to think (assuming he isn't constantly screaming from a fear of heights and falling).

...
"I see your star, you left it burning for me". This might be in reference to the fact that there are people waiting for the Kid at the Bastion with the "star" being the monument (or just the general vibrant structure of the Bastion) as a guide towards his destination. Or he might be looking at the stars thinking about the following:
"Mother I'm here". While this line's intention is Zulf praying to "the mother" who was a deity associated with birth and who we return to after death and him accepting his death at the hands of his countrymen there is another meaning I like to ascribe to this. "Mother I'm here" might be the Kid praying to his own mother (no other character in the game has seen their mother recently with Zulf being an orphan, Zia's mother dying early and Rucks being an old man but the Kid knew his mother and grew up with her). The Kid might be saying to his mother that he is still around, or it might be him remembering coming home after his time at the walls and finding that his "mama's time was done too" (it might have been that when he entered his house he called "mother I'm here" to announce himself but didn't get a response).
...

...
"Eyes open wide, feel your heart and it's glowing", if Zulf is near unconscious then it might be more fitting for the Kid to be saying this to Zulf, he feels that Zulf is still alive.
"I'm welcome home, sweet home" I can't imagine Zulf saying this as it is exactly what he isn't, the Kid on the other hand is welcome at the Bastion and has friends there (which Zulf was a part of). The Bastion for the Kid and Zia seems to be their happiest place.
"I take your hand, now you'll never be lonely, not when I'm home, sweet home" - This makes a lot of sense for the Kid to say, because he has gone through the effort to carry Zulf, he has taken Zulf's hand and told him that he isn't alone anymore (his fiance might be gone and the Ura might hate him but the Bastion is still there for him), and that they're going home.

Anyway sorry for the long rant, just had to get that off my chest. I don't like the intepretation of the song being a depressing one but instead like a more hopeful version.

[spring bloom]

somehow that interpretation never occurred to me, maybe because it’s assumed the Kid is the only character not to have a “voice”, but it makes a lot of sense!

[rigid moth]

The official lyrics state "I set my sail" for the first line!

[cedar patio]

oh i am loving this analysis

one thing abt the "i see your star, you left it burning for me" line is that the city crest is also called "the star of the city"

so it could be the kid referring to the city crest he carries

[frank trail]

*Also quick note: in the evacuation ending the kid is literally lying on his back while the bastion is floating to its destination (lie on my back, clouds are making way for me) - so maybe he was thinking of the future.

[violet valve]

Its very possible for it to be both zulf and the kid

Just at differant points

However the ost specifically calls mother I'm here Zulf's theme

(Your analysis is awesome btw )

[tardy spoke]

I always cry when I listen to that song

[tardy spoke]

Mother, I'm here🎵

[tough gate]

My understanding is they were historical war songs, and it could be similar to the Transistor in which songs from the past are used to describe the present, but other than that, wouldn't it be impossible for it to be referencing the kid and instead be referencing the character the theme is for? Please tell me if I missed something!

[mortal trench]

Going for 100%, just died on last wave of strangers dream with 10 idols

big sad

Huge thanks to whoever reccomended pike mortar a while back by the way, this combo is crazy

[rigid moth]

Pike + Mortar is meta for idols!

[mortal trench]

got to it again!

This is pain

[rigid moth]

It really is. The ||Ura|| are by far the hardest enemy type, and when they're combined with ||Anklegators|| 😬

And not just ||Ura|| but ||Super Ura||

[mortal trench]

I was wondering why one was so tanky

[balmy peak]

Tbh pike was never it for me, I much preferred bellows. It’s easier to die between pike hits, but bellows combined with the damage over time upgrade and the slowdown gives a lot of survivability with leechade and lifewine

Main downside is kiting enemies like lunkheads is significantly more of a pain but usually not fatal

[cedar patio]

heck yeah bellows gang rise up

[rigid moth]

Is this under the context of 10 idols? I can't imagine enemies wouldn't just go incorporeal instantly then heal back up when faced with bellows

[balmy peak]

Yeah it is. The damage over time helps prevent regen

[rigid moth]

Gotcha. Is it slower than the Pike for getting kills? Roughly equivalent?

[balmy peak]

I would imagine pike is faster since it benefits from critical hits

[mortal trench]

Beat zulfs dream!

(with 10 idols)

[south knoll]

yayyy

that one was hard for me

[mortal trench]

Im personally worried about the birds in zia's dream

going for that one next

theres so many birds

no way I just beat zulfs and zias dream back to back

Im on a roll right now

now rucks dream!

[rigid moth]

Are you on Steam? You're playing NG+, right? The ||Portal turrets|| can make short work of the birds

[mortal trench]

Yeah I am, but I stuck with the mortar barrage and it ended up working out

I will need to use the turrets for that one secret achievment though

[mortal trench]

keep dying to the poison ura

[rigid moth]

Gotta take advantage of stalagmites + shield

[mortal trench]

Yeah im pretty bad with sheild

gonna keep going at it

on attempt 3

is it worth trying to counter the poison darts? or do I just block them

[rigid moth]

I'd block them or try to use stalagmites as cover

[mortal trench]

k

thanks for the help

[rigid moth]

You're welcome!

[mortal trench]

got past my problem wave, 5 reflections remaining but no chances left

died with 2 remaining

getting there though!

[mortal trench]

died on final wave

gonna take a break but ill be back at it later

[mortal trench]

Got rucks dream done!

Poison ura can be a PAIN, but I got the hang of hiding behind stalagmites

[cedar patio]

heck yeah! nicely done!

i could never get that one, always kicked my butt super bad

[mortal trench]

It was really tough for sure

love the name by the way

[cedar patio]

gotta rep that bastion love

i played it in 2013 and i've been a fan ever since

it's been a hot minute since i played tho

i tried on the switch but i just was always pressing the wrong buttons and you cant rebind them 😔

[mortal trench]

I was trying on controller for a while but found the aim on mouse and keyboard to be a lot easier

[shrewd depot]

The switch itself has a rebind option if that helps

I use it for some games cuz my R button in the joycon is broken :^

[cedar patio]

oh fr? i did not know that. ty for the info!

back when bastion first-ish came out i played it on track pad and keyboard and tbh that's the best i've ever played on it

[vagrant compass]

rip

i cannot relate to your experience because i somehow did it in under 5 tries

[mortal trench]

I probably got it in 6-7 tries

[vagrant compass]

i do hate multiple staggered ura enemies

theres no opening to attack

[mortal trench]

Yeah the super ura and poison ura kept shredding me

[vagrant compass]

ive never found poison difficult, its mainly the spear ones since i cant react

poison can be really annoying if you use lifewine though

[rigid moth]

Parry timing on all Ura except maybe swordsmen is horrible

[mortal trench]

agreed

even swordsmen can screw me over sometimes

final achievment is score attack!

going for it right now

[rigid moth]

Ooh! Try to beat my 16.7 million score

[vagrant compass]

parry timing on gun ura is easy

i also have to do the score attack achiev

[foggy hare]

Hi people, I'm playing bastion for the first time.
I constantly hear a super loud noise at random moments throughout the game. It scares me every time and is very uncomfortable, what is this?? Can I remove it somehow?
Sound like a firecracker or a clap

[vagrant compass]

what weapons and skill are you using

one of them fits your description

[foggy hare]

Bow and hammer/spear

Skills are always different, whatever game gave me... And the sound is present even when I don't use them at all (I rarely do)

[vagrant compass]

may be:
bow
hammer

[mortal trench]

bow powershot maybe? Im not the most knowledgable on bastion though so I might be wrong

[rigid moth]

Oh yeah powershots have a sharp little sound

[foggy hare]

Wow really 😟
Thank you for the answer

That's a pity, it's my favorite.
It's so loud, I even turned off sound in game, but it's still here. Looks like it's not connected to settings

[rigid moth]

The powershot noise shouldn't be abnormally loud

[foggy hare]

It is for me, maybe bc Mac OS. Mac OS is always a bad choice for games. Everything bugged even a little on Mac OS, even if I had no problems on windows with those games

[mortal trench]

That’s an odd glitch, glad we could help though!

[unkempt oriole]

I have finally 100%ed Bastion!
Hard Bargain is such a hard achievement
Thinking i’m gonna do Transistor 100% next

[rancid galleon]

Hey all, just picked Bastion back up after a loooooong hiatus and totally loving it. A question to the pro's - my game looks kind of pixelated, is there a setting I can tweak to make it look smoother? it seems like it's running on lower resulution but I have selected the highest posttible option and my machine is not too low-end, so wondering what else can be done. If anyone knows, please ping me so that I see the message

[covert yoke]

i also just started bastion so id love an answer as well

[rigid moth]

https://steamcommunity.com/app/107100/discussions/0/846940248333973561/

[rancid galleon]

I tried this method yesterday and it just stretched the image but did not improve the quality. Will try a couple of other resolution options today, maybe what I did wasn’t correct

[rancid galleon]

I figured it out. You need to turn off the fullscreen option in game and then play with the resolutions in-game to see which of them best matches your screen, because choosing a default 1920x1080, for example, gave me a zoomed in/cropped image, and choosing 1600x900 worked

[covert yoke]

that makes sense. turns out i was fine 😂

[vagrant compass]

whats hard bargain?

[sharp sequoia]

apparently my physics teacher plays bastion

[mortal trench]

based physics teacher

[unkempt oriole]

Achievement; get 1,000,000 points in score mode

[shrewd depot]

#h2-discussion message speaking of this

God this part destroyed me the first time

I think only the bull survived

[mortal trench]

For me only the bird died I think

It was a while ago though so might be misremembering

[cedar patio]

i've never managed to save all of them before 😔

[lavish beacon]

My bird and my squirt died and I couldn't believe they were actually gone when I heard the narration 😢

[vagrant compass]

i didnt know you could save them

[mortal trench]

me neither

I thought it was scripted that the bird died

[obtuse sparrow]

Bastion on the psvita is the only good bastion

[remote basin]

Counterpoint, Bastion on all platforms is the only good Bastion.

[misty quarry]

agreed.

just got back to playing bastion… man it brings me back to the roots of the Xbox 360 days :] (for context, I played and finished it on there)

But I will say… I got surprisingly far on the Anniversary Edition.

Also does anyone find Jawson Bog to be an absolute PAIN… big mistake: invoke a god during it lol.

[shrewd depot]

Which map is that again

[misty quarry]

It’s the first map with a crystal Shard.

[shrewd depot]

Hallucinations one?

[cedar patio]

yeah

[misty quarry]

It after a pretty harsh element plays into the story.

[misty quarry]

yes.

[shrewd depot]

Yeah it is a pain

[misty quarry]

Also is it just me… or did I find the Pistols proving grounds more difficult than the others… along with the War Machete.

[misty quarry]

agreed.

[rigid moth]

Use lock-on with pistol, then spam for your life!

[shrewd depot]

War machete is generally tough from what I seem

[misty quarry]

Yeah, but like I never get the maximum amount of points for it lmao.

[shrewd depot]

Pistols I haven't done it the normal way in a while

[misty quarry]

For the First Prize.

[rigid moth]

Abuse Werewhiskey

[shrewd depot]

You can use the 100% crits drink yeah

[misty quarry]

You mean the Tonics?

[rigid moth]

I also use Steam Input to make a rapid-fire macro heheheheheeeee

[misty quarry]

I’m on controller >:[

But I’m not actually mad.

[shrewd depot]

Yeah

100% crits when under 33% hp

Fall off the map until it triggers then start the trial

[misty quarry]

omg… I’ve done that before… now it makes more sense.

[rigid moth]

Steam Input is controller support dough

[misty quarry]

I’m on Xbox bro lol.

[rigid moth]

Should've led with that

[misty quarry]

Yeah, you’re right.

So how would the tonics be useful again..?

Wait… Werewhisky is a spirit… I remember now. Sorry, the nostalgia is hitting a bit HARD.

[shrewd depot]

Haven't played in a while either so I forgot the stuff for the secret skills are what's called tonics lmao

[misty quarry]

Bro… I literally came back since like what-AGES ago? So glad I did.

Also I’m low on XP.

although… The Wild Unknown is a great place to gain XP.

[south knoll]

just finished the game again

What a ride

[misty quarry]

nice… the most satisfying thing of completing a gorgeous, lush game like Bastion is seeing the ending and credits :>

Also the music is still SO GOOD… to this day.

[south knoll]

for sure!!

[misty quarry]

definitely!

man seeing the hades credit scene is so magical :3

ngl… every supergiant game is just special in its own right.

and the studio along with the community is awesome :]

want to definitely play their other games: such as Transistor and Pyre.

[cedar patio]

pyre and transistor slap

[misty quarry]

I heard that every game does.

[cedar patio]

they do!

sgg never drops the ball

[misty quarry]

Scratch that, SSG made one of the best games in a while but also made one of the best rogue likes ever… and seeing their process is also fun and heartwarming.

No crunch whatsoever and a healthy environment… meanwhile: every AAA video game company ever.

To all those who are embracing crunch and all that toxicity: AAA studios… take notes! Learn from it!

The first game I played was Bastion and that was an extraordinary game and still is.

And the music still is awesome.

POV: me listening to Bynn Breaker over a dozen of times lmao.

I wish Summer Of Arcade was back :,]

Also another fateful title that didn’t get ported: Dust…AGH…

Also realized this isn’t about Bastion now lol.

[rigid moth]

I've heard Dust doesn't quite hold up

Unlike Bastion, of course

[misty quarry]

Yeah… I just wish I could play it again though cuz I liked it personally.

I wish it was ported… and then radio-silence from Humble Hearts.

Though… you’re absolutely right.

And the only port they did was a mobile one… at some point I was invested but not anymore.

Also Dust… had a bit of controversy with its art style. I think what sucks a lot is that the soundtrack is good imo.

hmm… wonder what other indie game suffered from toxicity and controversy: ||it’s a red hat and starts with 3 letters.||

I won’t mention it.

Anyways… Bastion probably is the one that holds up the best nowadays.

Super Meat Boy dealt with company problems, Dust dealt with inappropriate and unnecessary community relations, Fez was dealing with developer controversy and toxicity… but Bastion was/is: special. It actually united us and made us appreciate the beauty that is SSG.

[violet valve]

Are you talking about Dust: An Elysian Tail?

[misty quarry]

Yeah… I was passionate about it and I emailed Humble Hearts if they were doing anything else… than… nothing.

Absolute silence… never heard anything about it. I still like the game… I just feel like it needs deserve the justice of a remake or remaster.

[violet valve]

Probably better reaching out to Dean Dodrill as he's the solo dev of that game

[misty quarry]

I will try that.

[violet valve]

I know dust has been ported to pc and switch at least

[misty quarry]

It’s not like I’m not passionate about it… but it’s weird that there hasn’t been anything since Dust. It’s a bit weird.

AFAIK.

[violet valve]

There's been Never stop sneaking I think that's the name of it?

[misty quarry]

Yeah, that was their last title.

And after that… radio-silence.

[violet valve]

Ye, solo dev can take a very long time

[misty quarry]

tho that’s just to my knowledge.

[violet valve]

Dust took several years in development time

We should move to #video-games

[misty quarry]

I’m sure… also yeah lol, we should.

[versed hedge]

i just started playing bastion recently and honestly have no idea what im doing. i started enjoying ssg through hades, and really want to enjoy bastion and possibly transitor, too, but i dont know anything about it or what the goal even is 😭 spoilers are alright, i dont really care. any tips??

[mortal trench]

Just go through the levels and the game self narrates everything

You’re supposed to learn things as you go through

[misty quarry]

Bastion is mostly a short, stand-alone title from SGG that is their debut. I still absolutely adore the game and still holds up to this day. Here some advice and suggestions.

[experience]
• Bastion is set in a world that has been shattered because of The Calamity. You learn about it more when you play the game, a lot more actually.
• You play as The Kid, which is in the midst of it. The narrator is also a character you meet later on as well as other Survivors.
• This is mostly a combat focused game that gives you weapons as you progress further along the journey.

[general info]
• The Skyway is the path for transportation to other areas of the game. It will start out with one to two areas but will expand as the game and story evolves. Once an area is cleared, then a new one will shortly follow after some storytelling happens.

[Proving Grounds can also be accessed once you’ve explored the map and obtained the specific weapon. These are basically training for weapons.]

[cedar patio]

there's no plague in the game, that's something that happens before it

[south knoll]

oh i meant to ask. is the writing on the map, or loading screen and such decipherable?

i remember someone deciphered the pyre sigils so i was wondering

[ebon snow]

It’s probably Lorem impsum translated to some glyphs and such

[cedar patio]

thus far no one has deciphered it, it may be something, but it also may be something we're not meant to know

but it would be very cool if it meant something and someone figured it out

bastion secrets

[ebon snow]

spoiler: ||its actually an encrypted message from glados lmao||

[misty quarry]

Oh… thanks for confirming that lol

[misty quarry]

I’ve thought about that… not sure.

It might be… I’d have to ask Supergiant if they know because I certainly wouldn’t.

[misty quarry]

imagine lmao.

[ebon snow]

if it turns out it's a cake reference i'm gonna leave this server

[misty quarry]

I definitely hope not lol.

[ebon snow]

yeah same

[misty quarry]

I like Portal a lot but I wish it would get more attention than it usually does… like nothing much has happened for the franchise as of recently.

but anyway… just realized that the anniversary edition of bastion has 800 more gamer-score pts than the Xbox 360 ver.

wonder when I’m gonna get to that.

(for context I got all the achievements for the arcade/360 ver a long while ago.

[ebon snow]

hey
you're talking to a half life fan

we're used to valve games taking their sweet ass time between releases

[misty quarry]

fair… lol.

but y’know I am a portal fan so… I should’ve seen that coming.

[versed hedge]

yo thanks fr. sorry for not seeing this until today

[misty quarry]

you’re very welcome… I get why the confusion can happen because it’s kinda hard seeing the progress in the game lol.

it’s very different than what Hades does so it’s understandable.

[versed hedge]

yeah ahah i played it for a while it was just very confusing and ultimately ended up putting the game down for a while. might pick it up tonight. im just so damn used to hades by now, the whole roguelike style. so yeah, thanks! : )

[misty quarry]

but there is an indicator when a new things will happen: which is a yellow highlighted blue exclamation point.

it will float above foundations that are in the bastion.

speaking of, the six foundations are: the Arsenal, Distillery, Forge, Shrine, Lost And Found, and lastly the Memorial.

Only three will first appear once you get to the Bastion for the first time tho.

[foundational structure]
• The foundations are built by putting a Core that is active in the center of the bastion.

[Cores can be located by clearing the associated areas that hold them there in place. Sometimes you may have to detour to find it though.]

• When a core is active, you may build one foundation at a time.

[After a major arc in the story is finished, then you’ll have access to the true forms of the foundations.]

[misty quarry]

it’s easy to get used to the genre lol.

so I understand… as someone who is an addict of it.

[versed hedge]

yeah i hope so! i really want to enjoy more of ssg other than just hades lmao

[misty quarry]

yeah, I definitely think you’ll like bastion it’s just harder to probably get used to since you played their most recent game.

[rigid moth]

Bastion is just roll+attack!

[misty quarry]

(I know this because I played Bastion before Hades.)

[misty quarry]

pretty much… and also block.

@versed hedge the most basic to learn is how each weapon works, it’s strengths, and how it can combine with special+block.

but it’s recommended to have a ranged, melee, and a skill if you feel like it. you can change weapons anytime you’re at the bastion. just go to the arsenal.

when you first start out a save, you’re not instantly in the bastion. the game actually starts in The Rippling Walls.

the weapon you obtain is the hammer and the fang repeater: one melee and one ranged. offensive: bullhead shield.

learning to counter each enemy’s attacks can be crucial as well… because just attacking without defense can leave you vulnerable. it’s obviously not necessary.

[rigid moth]

Shield counter is pretty invaluable

[misty quarry]

yeah… but blocking is important though.

[rigid moth]

Blocking OP

[misty quarry]

also, one more thing.

each foundation has its own benefits and functions.

[arsenal: the go-to place for grabbing weapons and utilities]
[forge: for upgrading skills and further enhancing them for weapons, you’ll need materials and XP though.]
[distillery: the place for having spirits, some that can help more than others.]
[lost and found: the recovery center for many things, including skills, materials, and mementos.]
[memorial: the place for fulfilling prophecies to earn XP in the process. they’re basically in-game goals]
[shrine: a way to pray to the gods of the world and invoke their power, making it even more difficult but in exchange for XP bonuses]

[versed hedge]

holy crap thank you. for tips, and whatnot. thats a lot. ill keep this stuff in mind!

[misty quarry]

i would recommend getting the Arsenal, Forge, and Distillery first…

[misty quarry]

you’re welcome… it always makes me happy that my help is appreciated for those who need it or just require the info.

[versed hedge]

yeah, its 100% appreciated! im glad that someone actually talked to me about it.

[misty quarry]

I know because I’ve done like the hardest difficulty and have decent skill in the game.

I also beat the original arcade version worth 200 gamer-score on the Xbox 360.

I’m still progressing myself in the anniversary edition.

[misty quarry]

I’m very passionate about Supergiant’s mission and have been a fan ever since their debut so no worries! Totally understand if someone needs a head-start before getting into a game.

Also if you want more info on specifics… definitely check this out as well https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=147705522

[hollow pilot]

so

what is bastion about?

[mortal trench]

It’s about restoring the bastion

[hollow pilot]

and it plays like Hades?

[mortal trench]

Kinda

It’s not a roguelike

[south knoll]

not really

[hollow pilot]

oh

are there hot people in it?

[south knoll]

thats up to you to decide

[hollow pilot]

what about story?
