In the beginning, Medusa co-ruled [[Angel Land]] with Palutena. Whereas Palutena fostered the growth of humanity, Medusa hated their kind, and took to drying up crops and petrifying people. Palutena, in a fit of anger, changed Medusa's form to a cyclopic, snake-haired monster and banished her to the Underworld. Because of this, Medusa vowed one day to overthrow Palutena and retake her position in the [[Palace in the Sky]]. Over time, Medusa gained the allegiance of Underworld monsters and led an attack against [[Palutena's Army]]. The ensuing war did not go well for Palutena as the [[Three Sacred Treasures]] were lost, the [[Centurion]]s were turned to stone, and Palutena herself was captured and imprisoned within her own palace, unable to help as her beloved Angel Land swarmed with the forces of evil. As a last resort, she called out to [[Pit]], the former leader of her personal bodyguards, now kept prisoner in the lowest dungeons of the Underworld. Responding to the call, and armed with a [[Bow]] manifested by the goddess' waning strength, Pit set out to destroy the invaders and defeat Medusa.
Medusa originally co-ruled [[Angel Land]] with Palutena. Whereas Palutena fostered the growth of humanity, Medusa hated them, and took enjoyment in drying up crops and petrifying the humans. As punishment, Palutena changed Medusa's form to a hideous cyclopic, snake-haired monster and banished her to the Underworld. Angered by this, Medusa vowed revenge to overthrow Palutena and retake her position in the [[Palace in the Sky]]. Medusa eventually gained the allegiance of the Underworld monsters and led an attack against [[Palutena's Army]]. After the ensuing war, Medusa successfully imprisoned Palutena, stole the [[Three Sacred Treasures]], and turned all the [[Centurion]]s to stone.  


When Pit encounters Medusa in the [[Palace of the Sky]], she has taken refuge in a large effigy of herself. Pit must dodge deadly rays and [[Tanatos]] snakes from her hair, all while attempting to hit her with [[Arrow of Light|Arrows of Light]]. By positioning himself just a little bit under eye-level, he can avoid the majority of her attacks easily. Once she's taken enough damage, the eye will disappear, revealing a crumpling Medusa. The [[Mirror Shield]] will block her eye beams, but only if the shield is up (when Pit's not firing). Careful timing will prevent unnecessary damage.
