Walkthrough for The Tazal Terminals in Bastion. Learn how to defeat enemies, find items, and navigate the treacherous terrain to collect the final Shard.
Walkthrough
- 1Start by defeating the three Rattle-tail babies.
- 2Slay the Ura that arrives on a barge to the south.
- 3Head north across the bridge to a snow-covered area, encountering Security and various Ura types.
- 4Collect the Health Tonic and Black Tonic in the clearing, then survive the Ura ambush.
- 5Continue northwest, facing more Uras arriving on barges and Security turrets. Blast snowballs and boxes to the east and proceed through the arch.
- 6In the next area, defeat four Rattle-tails, a Stinkeye nest, and three Uras. Prioritize killing the Uras first, then the Stinkeye nest.
- 7Proceed down the path, destroying rubble. Destroying conductors in this area may yield Health or Black Tonics.
- 8Step onto the barge to be transported to a new area.
- 9Slash through the area until you reach a dead end and pick up the Hop Scotch, which allows you to jump by pressing A.
- 10Use the Hop Scotch to jump across small islands containing Health and Black Tonics, then leap to the bridge.
- 11Dodge attacks from a large group of Uras on the bridge. Jump over holes created by falling icicles.
- 12Break the conductor at the end of the room and walk through the passage. The floor will fall apart behind you; jump over obstacles to reach the end. Ignore the Uras as they will fall to their death.
- 13Defeat the final Ura, pick up the Health Tonic, and ride the Skyway.
- 14On the new island, defeat the large Ura captain, who acts like a blue halberd Ura but with more health. Collect the surrounding Health and Black Tonics.
- 15Hop across mini islands to the east, some containing Health Tonics and others Uras, to reach the next barge.
- 16Navigate through an area with sealed gates. Jump to two islands and hit their switches to open the first gate. Grab Black Tonics and proceed through the second gate to find the Battering Ram.
- 17The Battering Ram is a temporary, powerful weapon that slows you down and prevents jumping. Its controls are: X to swing, B to slam, Left Trigger to defend.
- 18Defeat the two Pyths that appear, then break through the gate. Bash the blue crystals in the previous area, smash them, and kill the Uras before riding the barge at the southern end.
- 19Upon landing, use a Secret Skill to defeat the army of Uras. Continue forward, destroying rubble and Uras until you reach the final Shard.
- 20An Ura snags the Shard and teleports. Repeat this cat-and-mouse game as more Uras appear each time the Shard holder teleports. Eventually, the Ura will fight. Use your Secret Skill to defeat the Ura and two Pyths, then claim the Shard.
- 21Walk down the newly-formed bridge to witness Zulf's betrayal. You have two choices:
- Move On: Press forward with the Battering Ram, hit the switch to open the bridge, and fight through a massive army of Uras until you reach the Skyway. Your health and other icons may disappear.
- 22Take Zulf: Carry Zulf's body through the rest of the Tazal Terminals. Uras may attack, but you cannot defend yourself. Slowly move through the passage until you reach the Skyway.
