Can you die / lose all your health at the very end of Bastion

bastion

In the final level of Bastion, you reach a point where

you must choose whether to take Zulf and save him or leave him and fight the Ura yourself.

Is it possible to die after this point? Even though you still can take hits, your health bar actually goes away as does your potion count, so it's unclear whether you are still taking damage or if that entire scene is just an interactive cinematic.

In the Take Zulf branch, you actually are prompted to heal at times. What happens if you don't or are out of potions?

Best Answer

No, you cannot die.

I played through twice, and when I took Zulf the second time, it became evident pretty quickly that I was taking more damage than I should be able to when slowly trodding toward the exit. I didn't heal up but remained alive until the point where they stopped attacking me.

It appears to be a scripted event for cinematic purposes.

How much health do you have at each level in Bastion

According to the PlayerUnits.xml file, your character starts off with 51 health, and then you receive +2 health for every level, up to level 10:

 Level | Health
----------------
   1   |   51
   2   |   53
   3   |   55
   4   |   57
   5   |   59

   7   |   63
   8   |   65
   9   |   67
  10   |   69

Besides the health you receive for leveling up, you can also add an additional 10 health at any time by equipping the Squirt Cider spirit.

Can you hurt Stink Eyes in Bastion

Sure, you just need a weapon to penetrate that tough armor.

The Fire Bellows will eat right through that if I'm not mistaken. This was my go-to weapon for every occasion. The Galleon Mortar is just as effective with its longer range.

Otherwise you'll need an upgraded weapon that can ignore armor to do that. Such as the Army Carbine with Razor Rounds, the Cael Hammer with Checkered Face or Dueling Pistols with Armor Eater Rounds.

With these weapons, you can give a lot of hurtin' to those Stink Eyes whether they have their eyes closed or not.
