help Pyre FAQ

What are the Rites in Pyre?

Rites are three-on-three contests in which teams carry a celestial orb into the opposing pyre to reduce its flame. They play more like a magical sport than conventional RPG combat, with movement, passing, banishment, and character auras determining possession.

Can Pyre's story continue after losing a match?

Yes. Pyre generally continues after a defeat instead of forcing the player to reload, and characters react to the result. Losses can change standings, relationships, and which exiles eventually earn a chance at liberation.

Who are the Nightwings in Pyre?

The Nightwings are the group of exiles controlled by the player in the Downside. Their initial members include Hedwyn, Jodariel, and Rukey Greentail, with additional companions joining during the journey.

Is Pyre connected to Hades, Bastion, or Transistor?

Pyre is a standalone story rather than a narrative sequel to Supergiant Games' Bastion or Transistor. It was released in 2017 before Hades, and it shares Supergiant's emphasis on reactive storytelling, distinctive music, and illustrated characters.
