Magnus: Difference between revisions

Magnus appears prominently again in ''[[The Ring of Chaos]]'', set three years after the incident with Gaol when Pit is using a dog to run around a human town on the surface and find out why he had become a ring in the first place. The dog, at Pit's command, jumps on Magnus almost immediately and Pit begs the human to take the ring, despite the fact that Magnus can't actually hear him. Magnus takes the ring, but tosses it quickly to Pit's dismay. However, Magnus returns after a moment and picks the ring up, then becomes playable for the remainder of the land battle as Pit takes control of his body. Magnus is shocked and confused by the situation and explains to an uninformed Pit that Palutena had disappeared for a time before her army returned to the Overworld, only to fight against the humans. He was sent to take out who was believed to be Pit. He finds Pit to be entirely shocked by the situation, and eventually willingly lets the angel use his body to fight off both the Underworld Army and the [[Centurion]] forces. In the boss battle of the chapter, a fight against Pit's body, Magnus admits that Pit is really the only fighter in Palutena's Army that can actually put up a fight. Once Pit's body is defeated, Magnus puts the ring on his finger and Pit regains control of his own body. After a momentary celebration, Pit's mood drops again as he starts questioning how he would return to Skyworld, and explains to Magnus the nature of his flight- that it was all Palutena's doing. A few moments later, Pit is granted the power of flight and he leaves Magnus behind to head back to Skyworld.

As a playable character, Magnus is only capable of melee attacks with his massive sword. However, his attacks are much stronger than most of Pit's melee attacks, and he can make quick work of both the Underworld forces and the Centurions.
