Upon entering the chamber, Pit discovers that the heart of Hades acts independently of its owner and can freely walk around on its two stubby legs. Despite its adorable appearance, this boss is one of the toughest in the game due to its quick and unpredictable movements, as well as the complex, grid-like structure of the arena. Hades’s Heart has the ability to create a nearly identical clone of itself that will eventually explode into a powerful set of flames. These flames can extend across the area in all directions, so a quick reaction time is necessary to avoid this attack. Occasionally, the heart will also become enraged from being hit too much, causing it to sprint around the arena in an attempt to ram Pit multiple times. This attack is very difficult to avoid due to the creature’s deceptively fast movement speed, but it’s still possible to do so with a number of impeccably-timed dodges. Although the heart can take a lot of punishment, it can be defeated fairly quickly if the aforementioned techniques are put to good use. | Upon entering the chamber, Pit discovers that the heart of Hades acts independently of its owner and can freely walk around on its two stubby legs.

===Attacks=== | |||
* '''Mine:''' The Heart will periodically send out a mine that homes in on Pit if he gets too close. | |||
* '''Explosive Clone:''' The Heart creates an exact replica of itself wreathed in a yellow aura that explodes in a cross-shaped set of flames that extend in all directions. | |||
* '''Mad Dash:''' The Heart's strongest attack. After receiving damage, it becomes enraged and charges Pit repeatedly. This attack can only be evaded by well-timed dodges. | |||

Upon depleting its health, the heart will explode and cause Hades a satisfying amount of pain. Before Pit has time to plan his escape, [[Dark Pit]] suddenly flies into Hades’ Belly on the [[Lightning Chariot]] and rescues the angel once again. The Underworld god, despite experiencing excruciating pain, attempts to grab ahold of the duo as they fly out of his chest. Fortunately, Pit and Dark Pit are able to escape just in time and return to a relieved Palutena. Meanwhile, Hades reflects on this painful experience and amusingly exclaims “but hey, at least I’m not dead!” | Upon depleting its health, the heart will explode and cause Hades a satisfying amount of pain.
