Comments

You're going to battle a lot of Bound enemies, as well as wild creatures in Nightingale. But there are certain activities that don't usually involve combat, and they can be quite rewarding, too. Here's our guide on how to complete Bastille Challenges in Nightingale.

How to complete Bastille Challenges in Nightingale

There are various kinds of Bastille Challenges in Nightingale. We list some examples below, and we discuss the objectives in detail in their respective sections:

  • Bastille of Agility
  • Bastille of Insight
  • Bastille of Intellect

Bastille of Agility objective

The Bastille of Agility challenge is somewhat akin to a platforming or jumping puzzle. The goal is to reach a glowing marker that's higher up. You then need to mantle onto beams or pillars, as well as do running jumps across gaps.

Jump, mantle, leap, and hop until you reach the very top.

Bastille of Insight objective

A Bastille of Insight challenge requires you to find hidden glyphs in a surrounding area. These are often seen on walls, pillars, or totems. It's also possible to notice wisps floating around, which may guide you to the correct spots.

Run around to chase after wisps, which will show the glyphs that you need to interact with.

Bastille of Intellect objective

A Bastille of Intellect challenge is all about memorization. When you first see the ruins, you'll notice at least three beacons in the general area. These will light up in sequence, and you should interact with them in the correct order.

Bastille Challenge rewards

Bastille Challenges provide different kinds of rewards. The most common are Hope Echoes, which can unlock new lore fragments or crafting blueprints. In some cases, there are also Favors (i.e. Power, Soaring, and Endurance), which grant temporary buffs to your character. Lastly, there may be instances when there are chests near the ruins, too.

In any case, this is how you complete Bastille Challenges in Nightingale. Be sure to look out for more points-of-interest and landmarks as you explore these randomized realms.

Nightingale lets you travel to distant realms, each with their own rewards, dangers, and opportunities. For more tips and information, you can check out our guides hub.
