The Final Countdown is a quest for level 10-53 in Bastion. It is step 8 of 9 in The Temple of Courage storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Bastion at 38.9, 55.2. It rewards 4 reward items, 9,050 experience and money.

Description

If the necromancer's brood descends upon us fully before the colossus is charged, we will perish. There is no question.

We must keep his attention until Mikanikos's work is complete.

He believes that the day is already won -- that we are pawns to be toyed with. We can use his hubris to our advantage to buy precious seconds.

May it be enough.

To complete this quest you need to delay Amarth the Harvester until the Colossus is fully charged.
Simple kill-them-all quest, you have to defeat three waves of mobs while the Colossus is being charged.
Two waves are just common mobs and the third is only mob - [npc=167433].
After all is done use the Colossus to break blockade.

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.

  • Clear as CrystalBastion · Level 10-53

    This Anima Conflux is completely drained of anima! Just a heavy hunk of metal! Not your fault, of course. Not at all. But we need to charge it! The Maldraxxi have extractors. Big green crystals, can't miss them. They're using it to drain anima from fallen kyrian. Very bad!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • A Time for CourageBastion · Level 10-53

    I know not what awaits us across the chasm, outsider. By the Archon's grace I hope that my Paragon yet lives, but I fear the worst. We will face this great unknown together, as we have the rest of Maldraxxus's horrors. To be kyrian is to follow the path, no matter how dire the circumstances.
