The bastion remnant was the lair of Malgosha and her piglins in the Nether, built as a monument to her.[1]
Layout
The bastion remnant is an enormous structure built of blackstone and blackstone bricks. In the center is Malgosha's throne room, where she used to sit. Near the mining facility is a genetics laboratory where the Great Hog was created, blocked off with iron bars that can be drawn. Near there is the stables, where hoglins are kept and bred as pack animals. On the other side of the mining facility is the armory, where weapons and armor are forged from netherite and stone and tipped with gold. Below the throne room is the dungeon where prisoners are kept. Because the walls and roof on the top level are gone, ghasts and lava can be seen outside, and falling in lava is a constant hazard.
Points of interest
Malgosha's throne room
The room is not very expansive but still plenty big, able to contain Malgosha's throne, a small platform, the mining facility, and obsidian gateway. The throne itself appears to be made of blackstone and is very ruined. In front of it is a mining facility, where piglins mine gold to place at their master's feet. It appears to be an enormous ribcage, with gold in the floor and roof. Piglins sit on top of the ribs and drop gold down to the piglins below, while other piglins draw gold from the floor. A foot farther on is the obsidian gateway.
Genetics laboratory
This is a floor of blackstone bricks, with multiple piglins running around grabbing supplies. The supplies are put to use with Malgosha's staff. There appears to be only one test chamber. The interior cannot be seen well through smoke and flame. It is blocked off by iron bars that can be drawn.
Dungeon
On the lower level of the remnant is the dungeon, where Malgosha keeps her prisoners. It consists of a hall with barred doorways leading to cells. The hall is lit with torches. The prisoners are let free in the cells, unless they are particularly dangerous, in which case their arms are chained to the wall. There are uncomfortable wooden beds attached to the wall with chains inside the cells.
History
Long ago, Malgosha took control of the bastion with her staff and ordered all the piglins to obey her, asserting dominance. The bastion had been quite ruined in her onslaught and because she ruled against creativity, it was never repaired.
One day an obsidian gateway sparked into existence, and Dennis and Steve stumbled through. Malgosha stole the Orb from them and locked them up, but they escaped and stole it back, much to her dismay, causing her to throw Steve in the bastion remnant’s dungeon. A year later, the Orb returned to the Overworld, and Malgosha released Steve from the remnant to get the Orb. Then she would command the piglins from there to attack Midport Village, then the Great Hog to infiltrate the Redstone Mountains. She leaves the bastion remnant behind to ambush Steve, Garret, and Henry on the woodland mansion’s bridge, and it is not seen for the rest of the film.
Trivia
- In an interview, the animation supervisor Kevin Estey explained that, when designing the bastion, the VFX team created everything around Malgosha's throne room.[2]
