The Enemy You Know

The Enemy You Know is a quest for level 10-51 in Bastion. It is step 10 of 12 in The Temple of Purity storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Bastion at 64.2, 71.4. It rewards 6,950 experience and money.

Description

My heart is filled with dread. If it truly is Lysonia who leads them now...

No. What is important is that we restore the great vespers. So long as their mighty voices are corrupted, all who hear them will suffer as this temple does. It is only a matter of time before all of Bastion succumbs.

They will no doubt try to stop you. I will hold their leader's attention as long as I can.

If I do not survive... my disciple will see you safely from this place. Go in service.

The hammer will appear when you get near a bell, when it appears just click it. It will disappear again until you approach another bell.

If you can't see the hammer, disable addons and reload UI, if that doesnt work then abandon quest and accept it again

So...any interesting theories on why Kosmas simply didn't go up there and threw his hammer by himself? I fail to see the importance of me beng dragged around like a raggdoll in the air throwing his hammer for him.

Perhaps this is all inception and while we believe that this is us saving the afterlife, it really is just an afterlife tailored to our needs to be the heroes of the story. In our little Valhalla we get to keep saving the world, even though it's just a theatre.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Dangerous DiscourseBastion · Level 10-51

    I found this scroll while you were cleansing the temple. These are dire words, and I suspect it only gets worse. Collect more of these scrolls so I can determine just what these so-called Forsworn want.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Hand of DoubtBastion · Level 10-51

    Quickly! We have no time to lose. Lysonia has weakened Eridia to the point that she may fall. Our Paragon will do what she can, but we must intervene. We will challenge Lysonia, and perhaps buy Eridia more time. This so-called Hand of Doubt will make no easy foe. Stand ready, <name>.
