The Return of Palutena: Difference between revisions

The first part of the chapter will have Pit flying though the blue skies, where the player will be introduced to some basic enemies while Palutena explains the situation of Medusa being reborn. After the explanation of how to fight in the air, Medusa herself will appear before Pit but will not attack directly. Instead, she taunts both Pit and Palutena about celebrating her revival by slaughtering all of the humans in the [[town]] below, before disappearing. Palutena will lead Pit to ground level to search for the town, all the while being attacked by Underworld troops sent by Medusa. During this time, Palutena will also explain the [[Power of Flight]], which is her ability to guide Pit through the skies under a time limit of five minutes. Upon reaching the town, it is clear that the Underworld army has already begun its rampage as many buildings in the area burn. Pit will then proceed to fly down to ground level, but not before stating that the people of the town are cheering for the return of Palutena.

Upon reaching the ground, Palutena will explain the control scheme once again. Pit will have to proceed through the streets of the town, but will now be in full control of his movement. Underworld troops are everywhere, and are just as dangerous on the ground as they are in the air. Pit must battle through the streets and defeat all of the enemies. After a while, Medusa will send down a ball of fire that begins hopping towards the colosseum, seemingly setting it ablaze in the process. Pit must then make his way to the structure to face the boss of the mission. A multitude of staircases lead up to the colosseum, lined with various enemies. As Pit makes his way to the top, something from inside the colosseum will randomly toss out a giant metal ball that will roll back down the staircases after him. Once Pit makes it past all of these obstacles, he will be free to enter the colosseum itself and face the boss.

Only one Intensity Gate is located here, requiring the Fiend's Cauldron to be set at 5.0 or higher. This Gate will allow Pit to battle a powerful miniboss known as a [[Crawler]], which resembles a massive tank that has a weak spot on its back.  It will be accompanied by two [[Gyrazer]]s. The reward for defeating them is a Treasure Box and some food items.

The boss of this chapter is [[Twinbellows]], the two-headed guard dog of the Underworld. It was summoned by Medusa as a flaming ball of fire to secure her hold on the town. Twinbellows moves very fast in battle and becomes tougher as its health is depleted. Also, many of its attacks can cause [[Status Ailments|burns]]. Both heads are capable of either shooting multiple flaming projectiles, or breathing one large stream of fire. It can also attack with its claws and by swinging its fiery tail at Pit. However, Twinbellows' most dangerous attack is when it charges directly at Pit, a maneuver it can repeat multiple times depending on how low its health is. Fortunately, after Twinbellows uses this move, it'll become exhausted and temporarily lay down, making it vulnerable for Pit to attack. When the beast is defeated, Medusa will finally surrender the town and her troops will retreat.
