Pyth Orchard

When you enter Pyth Orchard, ignore the dead end at the north and head south. Follow the path to enter the orchard, where you'll find a mechanical bull. Walk to the right of the bull for a Plush Pyth, then follow the main path north.

When you reach the small field, go south/southeast for Something Course and continue ahead. The absence of enemies comes to an end when you reach the Shrine: the statue of Pyth comes alive and the mechanical bull attacks.

Pyth rolls around the field, spewing fire, and it can be difficult to get away from the flame spray. Your best bet is to continuously block until Pyth stops. Once Pyth stops moving and breathing fire, run up and attack with your weapons until he boots back up again. Pyth has a lot of health, so stick with it and use your Secret Skills.

Once Pyth falls, enter the Shrine. Inside the Shrine, you can invoke the Gods, which will make enemies stronger and more resistant. Even though it sounds like a major drawback, you can receive some pretty massive XP and Fragment bonuses if you activate several Idols at once.

Right now, only the Pyth Idol is available, which means that enemies are faster when moving and attacking. The game is pretty lenient when it comes to Idols: you can turn on and off any Idol when at a Shrine, and if you die in combat you have the option of turning off the Idol as well.

As soon as you leave the Shrine, regardless if you've invoked the Gods or not, enemies will begin to appear in huge numbers. A massive army of Squirts shows up right at the Shrine entrance, plus some Windbags. Defeat them and begin to backtrack to the level's entrance. Along the way, you'll run into Gasfellas, Squirts, and Security. You even have to fight another Pyth again! Once at the entrance, ride the portal back to the Skyway.

The Bastion

Talk to Zulf and show him the Plush Pyth to make a mechanical Pyth bull pop up at the south end of town. This is your second pet, and it doesn't really do anything other than aim towards completing an Achievement.
