:'''NG+''' - in NG+, this boss is very simple. Just attack him with Pike thrusts(which, at full upgrades, penetrate armor). If you crit, you will kill him before he jumps, and after one jump otherwise.
 
:'''NG ASL''' - an alternative to the Lunky Drop, only available in NG ASL, is killing him with Werewhisky Hand Grenades. It's very easy to activate Werewhisky on Pincushions on the way through the level without wasting time. Remember that you have to stand behind Lunky to damage him with the Grenades.

Burstone Quarry is a fairly eventful level: lets you move fast but also requires you to be very precise about it, has a boss fight and a Shard, as well as triggers an invasion of the Ura after returning to the Bastion.

Lunky Drop

360 DROP IT

The fastest way to kill Sir Lunky is a quick-kill trick called the Lunky Drop. Basically, it involves manipulating Lunky into jumping off the level to his death.

When you enter the arena that Lunky lives in, immediately roll up to the top-left corner of the arena. Clear the offscreen debris next to Lunky with the Pike or Musket (make sure you are far enough away from Lunky to not auto-aim at him instead of the debris, or you won't have enough time to finish the trick). Walk to the top corner of the dark tile at the corner of the arena, and wait there. If you are positioned correctly, Lunky will jump off the arena to his death.

If Lunky does not fall off, he will likely be sitting at the edge of the platform. If you have the musket, you can shoot him to knock him off. This will lose only ~1 second. If you do not have the Musket, you must actually kill Lunky to progress.

HaosEdge's tutorial explains and shows this trick in detail.

Completing the Quarry

After killing Lunky, get over to the first gate at the bottom of this space as quickly as you can and stand in from of it. This will cause the end sequence for the level to trigger sooner. When the gates open, walk down, open Zulf's dialogue, close it right after opening, and then wait for the switch on the left to activate. Immediately use it. This will start raising the cage, letting you pick up the Shard when it's about halfway raised. You can now leave the level. Returning to the Bastion from Burstone Quarry will trigger the Ura Invasion.

Ancient Knowledge

It is possible to get to Lunky's arena with a pike vault or with a jaunt, but it doesn't accomplish anything because this way you won't hit the trigger that spawns Lunky, who you have to kill to be able to progress.

It is also possible to get through the 3 gates after Lunky with jaunting, but it is impossible to pick up the Shard or leave the level this way.
