Follow our step-by-step guide to navigate The Sundown Path in Bastion. Learn how to overcome obstacles, defeat enemies, and find secrets on this challenging mission.
Alright, so you're about to tackle The Sundown Path. It kicks off right after you go through a gate and step onto a checkered floor. Things get pretty wild, pretty fast, just like in the Wharf District. The Stranger's gonna explain that someone beat you to the Core, which is never good news!
Walkthrough
- 1The floor is literally falling apart under you, so you need to keep moving. Watch out for the tiles – they glow red right before they vanish. Your main goal is to stay ahead of those red tiles. The path itself is pretty straightforward, with plenty of Fragments scattered around. Try your best to ignore any enemies or side paths that pop up, because getting sidetracked here will mean falling behind and probably falling to your doom.
- 2When you get to a Skybridge, you'll see a portal. Hop into it, and it'll whisk you away to an island in the distance. Think of these Skybridges as your personal transporters across big gaps. Once you land, look for a small platform just off to the right. There's a Bronze Spyglass waiting for you there. After you grab it, get ready for the next Skybridge.
- 3Next up, you'll need to avoid two Security turrets. Use the Skybridge to get to the next pathway. You'll find a fountain here – go ahead and heal up; the floor is stable here, so no worries about it crumbling. You'll also run into a Gasfella; take it down before moving on to the next Skybridge.
- 4This next part is a bit tricky. You'll need to dash across a fragile bridge. Keep moving until you hit a massive Scumbag. You won't have a lot of room to maneuver here, but at least this part is on stable ground.
- 5In the corner, you'll find a Health Tonic and a Black Tonic. Keep heading west, and you'll discover a Hand Grenade Secret Skill. This thing is awesome – it lets you toss powerful grenades that can take out enemies from afar. Use it on the island below you, which is crawling with Security and Gasfellas. Don't worry too much about missing your shots; there's an endless supply of Black Tonics to keep you topped up.
- 6Once you've cleared out all the enemies on the island, the gate in front of you will open. Before you go through it, head across the Skybridge to your left. It leads to a dead end where you'll find Something Burnt. After you grab that, backtrack to the gate and go through it. You'll have to fight one last group of Gasfellas before you can finally make your escape.
Tips
- Don't get distracted by enemies or optional paths on the falling tiles; focus on survival.
- The Skybridges are your key to crossing large distances and progressing.
- Use the Hand Grenade Secret Skill to clear out enemies from a safe distance, especially on the island with the endless Tonics.
- Make sure to grab the Something Burnt at the dead end before proceeding through the final gate.
