Bastion’s gods start manifesting as idols once you’ve built the Shrine.
There are 10 idols in total. 6 reveal themselves as you play the game, while the other 4 must be bought with fragments from the Lost-and-Found.
The Whimsical Six
Pyth is the only one that can be found in a stage. He’s in Pyth Orchard, and finding him lets you build the Shrine. This is part of the story so you cannot miss him.
After returning to the Bastion, build your own Shrine and enter it. Acobi awaits you inside.
In the second half of the story, you’ll be tasked with tracking down Shards in the outer stages. Returning a Shard to the Bastion’s monument lets you upgrade one of your buildings to their true form.
Upgrading the Shrine to the True Shrine will attract Micia and Garmuth, who’ll both become part of the pantheon.
The final two, Roathus and Olak, will join you once you’ve finished the main story. They’ll appear in the Shrine after starting a New Game Plus.
The Avaricious Four
These four can be bought in the Lost-and-Found, which you can build after finding your fourth Core in The Hanging Gardens.
Hense and Jevel are part of the initial stock. They cost 250 and 100 fragments respectively.
Yudrig and Lemaign become available after upgrading to the True Lost-and-Found and the True Shrine.
If you already have the True Shrine for Micia and Garmuth, then you’ll just need the second Shard in Roathus Lagoon. Use it to upgrade the Lost-and-Found to its true form.
Once you’re all set, you can buy Yudrig for 150 fragments and Lemaign for 300 fragments.
The Pantheon’s Boons and Buffs
Invoking an idol in the Shrine bestows you with increased XP and fragment gain. But they make the game harder by giving your enemies buffs.
This table details the buffs for all idols in the game.
Note: These buffs affect bosses too. Certain ones like Jevel’s, Micia’s, Olak’s, and Garmuth’s may make a boss unbeatable — especially when you combine them.
| Idol | Enemy Buff | XP and Fragment Blessing |
|---|---|---|
| Hense | Increased damage | +10% |
| Acobi | Drops a bomb after death | +5% |
| Lemaign | Attacks slow down the player | +5% |
| Pyth | Faster movement and attack speed | +10% |
| Jevel | Greater damage resistance | +5% |
| Yudrig | Causes damage on contact | +5% |
| Roathus | Never drops health or black tonics | +10% |
| Micia | Regenerates health | +5% |
| Olak | Randomly makes attacks miss | +10% |
| Garmuth | Randomly deflects attacks | +10% |
The Achievements for the Faithful
The pantheon can grant you eight Steam achievements — all of which are linked to the optional Dream Stages.
These Dreams are unlocked by finding the mementos of each special character. Interacting with these mementos in the Bastion puts Kid to sleep, letting you experience a Dream.
| Dream Stage | Memento | Memento Location |
|---|---|---|
| The Kid’s Dream | Zulf’s Pipe | Cinderbrick Fort |
| The Singer’s Dream | Zia’s Stockpot | Point Lemaign |
| The Survivor’s Dream | Kid’s Bedroll | Zulten’s Hollow |
| The Stranger’s Dream | History Books | The Bastion (New Game Plus) |
To get the achievements, you have to complete a Dream with at least 5 idols invoked.
