Apolon is an Ascended kyrian located in Bastion and one of the Hands of Courage, alongside his sister Artemede, serving as seconds in command to Xandria the Paragon of Courage. He and Artemede also organize the Path of Ascension, the eternal training ground of the kyrian.

History

As aspirants, Apolon and Artemede quickly formed a bond akin to siblings which eventually led to them becoming soulbinds. At some point, Apolon also became romantically involved with Kynthia. The two of them often used to sneak off to watch the anima flows together.[1]

When the Maldraxxi attacked the Temple of Courage, Apolon was among the kyrian who fought against them at Xandria's Vigil. When the Maw Walker was helping them, Apolon asked them to free kyrian prisoners.[2] After witnessing Thanikos fall at the Necrotic Wake, he suggested going to Oribos and informing them of Maldraxxus's attack on Bastion. No longer a disciple but a Hand of Courage, Apolon approached the Voice of the Arbiter, Tal-Inara in the Enclave.[3][4] Later when the Maw Walker decided to join the Kyrian Covenant, Apolon was part of the reception the Archon arranged for them in honor of their efforts against the Maldraxxus incursion in Bastion.[5]

Apolon feared for what had happened to his love, Kynthia, but Artemede reminded him to have faith in Kynthia's strength. He joined the counterattack on the House of Constructs in Maldraxxus where he reunited with Kynthia. The two sprinted to embrace each other before fighting side by side,[1] and can be briefly seen aboard the Zerekriss moments before the assault.[6] Accompanied by an Eternal Bulwark, Apolon then went to fight at the Hall of Chains[7] where he requested the Maw Walker to kill House of Constructs forces in the Separation Chamber as well as their abominations for the horrific acts they performed upon the kyrian.[8][9]

When enough anima was gathered, the eternal training ground of the kyrian, the Path of Ascension, its coliseum was empowered and opened once more. The Hands of Courage, Apolon and Artemede, stepped up to lead this tradition[10] and guided the Maw Walker and their soulbinds toward it. Apolon explained how to obtain specific components for armaments,[11] how to craft them with Dactylis,[12] how to summon opponents,[13] and ultimately how to participate in the Path's trial challenges.[14] With the training done, Apolon offered the Maw Walker continued guidance shall they needed it[15] and then oversaw all the remaining trials.

Apolon and his soldiers continued to fight against the undead near the Temple of Courage, but the fighting had to come to a brief halt when the Paragons called the sound to battle against the Forsworn at the Temple of Loyalty. As the final push, the Maw Walker was sent to gather the Courage's Bearers, and Apolon with Artemede quickly answered the call.[16]

He would eventually be recruited by the Maw Walker to go on missions in and outside of Bastion, contributing to the greater needs of the Shadowlands.[17]

When the Covenants attacked the Mawsworn in the Maw, Apolon was among the fighters in Cocyrus and asked the Maw Walker to eliminate Jailer's forces.[18]

He was present during the grand reception before the ceremony where Adrestes was made the Paragon of Devotion and told the Maw Walker about him and Kynthia.[1]

Gossip

Elysian Hold

You and your soulbinds walk in the footsteps of many before you. There is no greater honor or tradition than participating in the Path of Ascension!

Gossip How do I capture new memories?

When you have new memories to capture, Dactylis will let you know. For each memory you will have to craft its specific lure and a soul mirror, which she can help you with as well. Once you give these to Dactylis, she will give you further instructions to bring this memory back to the coliseum for your soulbinds' training.
Gossip I'd like to ask another question.

Gossip How do I fight higher difficulty memories?

The first step to challenging more difficulty memories is to empower the soul mirror to draw out stronger memories. You can do this by upgrading your covenant sanctum.
Secondly, some trials are harder than others. You will need to prove yourself against enough bosses in order to take on a tougher challenge.
And of course, you cannot challenge a higher difficulty of a memory if you have not defeated the less powerful versions of that memory first.
Gossip I'd like to ask another question.

Gossip What are Medallions of Service, and where can I get them?

The Path of Ascension holds glory and honor, but we must balance it with acts of humility. Medallions of Service are proof of such service, and are used to challenge the Path.
These medallions can be earned by fulfilling your duty to Bastion. The best ways to gather them are by participating in callings, treasure hunting, and taking care of rare enemies. Of course, if you are in need of more, you can always donate materials through Dactylis to earn medallions.
Gossip I'd like to ask another question.

Gossip I am having trouble finding materials.

If you are struggling to find a material, refer to Dactlyis. Each blueprint lists its materials, and the material lists store information that will help you uncover where to collect them.
Remember that these materials are spread across the realms of the Shadowlands. You may have to leave Bastion to find them.
Gossip I'd like to ask another question.

Gossip Where can I find new blueprints?

New blueprints can be found by defeating memories in the coliseum. Once you bring them back to Dactylis, you will be able to craft new lures, charms, and equipment. Try to collect them all and experiment with all of your choices.
Gossip I'd like to ask another question.

Gossip What is equipment?

Sometimes you may encounter a challenge that your soulbind may not be prepared to face on their own--that is where equipment comes in. Equipment can give your soulbinds an extra active ability in combat, such as a dash.
Once you craft a piece of equipment, you can use it forever. Simply talk to Paolone in the coliseum to outfit your soulbind. You may only have one equipped ata time, so make sure you choose the best one to help your soulbind in the problem they face.
Gossip I'd like to ask another question.

Gossip What are charms?

Unlike equipment, which is active, charms passively strengthen your soulbinds. They can only be used once before the power inside is expended, so be sure to craft multiple!
While you can only have one of each charm equipped at a time, you can use as many different types of charms as you wish. Feel free to mix and match to your own desires.
Gossip I'd like to ask another question.

Gossip What do I do if I'm struggling against a memory?

Some soulbinds may have an advantage over a particular memory than another. One option is to have another soulbind attempt the fight.
Try equipping your soulbind with equipment and charms. Equipment will grant your soulbinds an active ability, while charms are passive buffs. Both can truly turn the tide of a fight. I can tell you ore about those if you would like!
Lastly, as you increase your renown with our covenant, your soulbinds get passively stronger. If you are struggling with a memory, perhaps give it time and focus on increasing your renown and strengthening your soulbind before trying again.
Gossip What is equipment?
Gossip What are charms?
Gossip I'd like to ask another question.

Gossip What should I do next?

Pursue crafting new items with Dactylis that you have never crafted before. Perhaps you have more memories to capture or new equipment to try!
If you have never defeated a certain memory or difficulty of that boss before, push yourself to overcome that trial to earn a reward. Crafting and utilizing charms can help give your soulbinds the extra edge they may need.
Lastly, push yourself for new challenges. Nearby are many vendors with incredible rewards that you can only earn by overcoming certain challenges in the Path of Ascension. Try to collect them all!

Trivia
