Saros: How to Defeat Bastion (Second Boss Guide)

Bastion is the second boss in Sorrow's, a stationary enemy best fought at medium to long range. Consider bringing a hand cannon or rifle, and power weapons like Prominence or Disburser. The core strategy involves constant attacking, absorbing blue bullets, and dodging beams. Utilize jump pads at the back of the arena to evade attacks and maintain distance. Bastion has two main attack types: focused beam attacks and wide grid-based attacks. For beams, move back and forth or dodge through them. You can absorb yellow projectiles from a specific beam attack to charge your power weapon, but be aware they temporarily reduce max health if you haven't unlocked the shield amplifier. Grid attacks involve colored projectiles; avoid red areas by moving to yellow/blue zones or jumping over the grid using jump pads. Between phases, turrets appear. They are easily defeated with a single melee attack. Bastion adds an area lockdown with blue orbs in later phases, which can be absorbed with your shield. By learning Bastion's attack patterns, you can defeat it.
