Bastien Meeting #1
If you haven’t crossed paths with Bastien yet, head over to I1 and visit the fort in the area. You will find Bastien guarding the fort here, and he will come out when you attack it. There are three options you will receive when meeting him. You can kill him, spare him, or demand something from him. If you kill Bastien, you can explore the fort easily and gain XP and loyalty points from Ernie. The only drawback is that you cannot recruit Pierre later.
If you choose to spare him, you can meet him at H3. You can also learn more about the Legion from him. Finally, if you demand something in return for his freedom, he will hand over 3 small diamonds. This works only if your wisdom trait is high.
Bastien Meeting #2
The second time you encounter Bastien will be in H3. There is a small encampment near the border, and if you cross paths with him again he will threaten to kill you. You have several options to tackle the situation. If you spared him before, you can kill him now, but recruit Pierre later. You can also trick his teammates into believing he steals from them, but this only works if you have recruited Fox to your team.
If you are timid, you can pay the ransom he asks, but you don’t get any benefits besides losing money and gaining 150 XP. Lastly, threaten him back and you can get Bastien’s weapons, XP, diamonds, and cash. Again, this works if your wisdom trait is high
