Bastion/YMMV: Difference between revisions

** The Galleon Mortar. The game places it as the second-to-last weapon, but you are far less likely to blow yourself up with it than you are the Calamity Cannon (even ''with'' the increased blast radius upgrade), you can lob the projectiles over the enemies instead of the projectile exploding on the first thing it hits, and with the right upgrades you can fire off shots rather quickly. It does enough damage that most things will die in two hits, usually one hit for a lot of common enemies, and that's ''without'' upgrading its damage. It's basically an infinite hand grenade that takes a sec or two to set up. With a little practice, you can run'n'gun and nothing will touch you whatsoever, and if you get good at lobbing the projectiles in just the right way, you can lead enemies so that they get the thing right on their heads while they're chasing you.

* [[Goddamn Bats]]: Squirts and Peckers are swarming weaklings that usually act as distractions for bigger enemies to clobber you. Miniature Rattletails also count. Peckers are far worse because Squirts are easily countered to death, while the bog-standard Peckers aren't (and the charging Peckers have an unusual timing to their counters that takes a bit to get used to, all while they're carving huge chunks out of your health).

* [[Hell Is That Noise]]: At one point in the game, Rucks hums "Build That Wall." It comes out of nowhere and [[Nightmare Fuel|it's WAY creepier than you think it is.]]

* [[Nightmare Fuel]]: The [[Mushroom Samba]] sequence in Jawson Bog. Especially {{spoiler|the scenes that call back to the opening of the game.}}
