THE HANGING GARDENS [0407]

Follow this walkthrough for Bastion's Hanging Gardens to find the Ura Sigil, defeat enemies, and learn about Zulf and Rucks.

Alright, so you're heading into The Hanging Gardens. Don't let the name fool you – it's pretty wrecked thanks to the Calamity. You'll see a lot of rubble and statue bits as you make your way through.

You'll start off not finding much, but keep heading east. Eventually, a gate will slam shut behind you, and you'll be surrounded by a ring of Security turrets. Take 'em out, and then head through the next gate.

Up ahead, the Stranger will point out a bunch of dead townsfolk. When you get to the graves of Grady Junior and Grady Senior, check out the southern edge of the island. You're looking for a Ura Sigil. Grab it, then head west. You'll eventually find the area's Core, which is surrounded by a bunch of statues. You'll need to fight off some Gasfellas and Squirts before you can break those statues and get the Core.

Once you've got the Core, the gate nearby will open. Head through it and have a chat with the Survivor you find there.

This Survivor is Zulf, and he's a Ura. It's a bit unusual to see Uras in Caelondia. When you get back to the Bastion, you'll talk to both Zulf and the Stranger, whose name is Rucks. Discuss the Ura Sigil with Rucks, and then go over all your other Mementos with Zulf.

After that, you'll place the Core in the Monument. This will reveal three new spots where you can build. You can choose to build a Shrine, a Memorial, or a Lost-and-Found. Since you probably don't have any Idols yet, building a Shrine right now won't do much. I'd recommend building the Memorial first, so you can start working on some of the available Vigils.
