Bastion/Idols

Idols are items that provide additional challenges in both story stages and ../Dreams/. In the case of the latter, you must use all ten idols for each Dream in order to obtain certain achievements and trophies. Idols can be activated and deactivated in the Shrine after it has been built at the Bastion, and additional idols can be acquired by purchasing them in the Lost and Found and by upgrading the Shrine with a Shard. Though they provide a notable challenge, they can also benefit the Kid by providing him with extra experience and Fragments, as well as a score boost in Score Attack Mode.

Below is a list of all Idols and the effects that they have in battle. Decide which Idols to activate wisely, and for a less painful experience, consider foregoing them completely until they become absolutely necessary. For Score Attack Mode, it is recommended that you tackle the Dreams with the Idols pictured to the left, as these should allow you to easily reach a combined score of 1,000,000. However, if you have been able to grind so that the Kid's level is high enough and his weapons are maxed, you may want to activate more Idols in order to ensure that score is reached for the achievement/trophy.
