Bastion/Burstone Quarry
From SDA Knowledge Base
[under construction]
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.

Overview
The first two gates can be either clipped through from their right side or, in NG+, destroyed with one Scrap Musket shot.
The majority of the level from here on out is very movement heavy. The way will be sometimes "blocked" by a Pincushion, but it is possible to get around them with some careful rolls(or destroyed with attacks, which is much slower). There is a lot of stones all over the level that can cycle their positions when you activate switches that are also spread around, but it is recommended to not use any switches at all - it is not hard at all to roll past all of the stones without activating any of them.
- NG+ - some small parts of the level can be skipped with two easy pike vaults.
Eventually you will reach the area where to progress you will have the boss of this level, Mr Lunky.
Killing Lunky
- 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.
- The MLG Lunky Drop
In NG categories, by far the fastest way to kill this boss is a quick-kill trick called the Lunky Drop. Basically it involves tricking Lunky into landing near an edge of the level, and then pushing him off with the knockback from a Scrap Musket shot.
The most common setup for the Lunky drop can be seen here: Haosedge's MLG Lunky Drop

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.
