Bastion/Spirits

The Distillery is where the Kid can equip Spirits, with a limit based on his level.

Spirits can be equipped in the Bastion after the Distillery has been built. These beverages give the Kid passive abilities meant to assist him in battle. As the Kid's level increases, he can equip more Spirits, for a maximum of ten. Most Spirits are either available from the start or can be purchased from the Lost and Found, but some only become available after the Distillery has been upgraded with a Shard. One Spirit, Hop-Scotch, which allows the Kid to hop rather than dodge, can only be picked up in the final stage and cannot be equipped otherwise.

Experiment with different Spirit combinations in order to find one best suited for your game. An example of a combination that works particularly well is Werewhiskey and Leechade; Werewhiskey allows the Kid's strikes to hit harder after his health has been diminished, and Leechade allows these powerful strikes to restore some of the Kid's health. Other helpful defensive Spirits include Lifewine, Bastion Bourbon, Hearty Punch, and Squirt Cider. Helpful offensive Spirits include Black Rye and Whale Ale, as these ensure that the Kid's Secret Skills are effective and that he can use more of them.
