Magnus and the Dark Lord: Difference between revisions

==Boss Battle==

Upon reaching the throne room, Pit and Magnus will both battle Dark Lord Gaol. It has been stated that Gaol was designed to look like an RPG-type final boss character, despite only being the second boss of the game. Gaol has a plethora of attacks, some of which are only used at higher difficulty levels. One attack has him spinning around very fast when he is being overpowered by both Pit and Magnus. Gaol's cape is quite strong and can knock them back with relative ease whenever he uses the spin attack. In addition, he is capable of launching a variety projectiles, using an energy shield to deflect ranged attacks, summoning Skuttlers to assist in battle, and can rapidly warp around the room to avoid damage. Another particularly powerful move has the dark lord hovering in the air and unleashing a massive burst of energy, which almost covers the entire room.

After taking enough damage, Gaol will finally be defeated. However, in a startling turn of events, it is revealed that the dark lord is actually a young woman beneath the bulky armor. Magnus expresses sorrow at having to defeat Gaol, who was apparently his friend at some point before turning to Medusa's side. Palutena pulls Pit away before he can help, but she assures him that Gaol is still alive.
