Pandora (パンドーラ Pandōra) is the Gatekeeper to Skyworld's Fortress and guardian of the Three Sacred Treasures' Sacred Casket. Pandora is a ghostly face that cloaks herself as she hovers throughout the battlefield, blowing bubbles at Pit. Centurions are not very useful here, as Pandora can easily mow through a formation without hesitation. Pandora's attacks are quite damaging, but the creature is quite slow. This can be a lengthy fight due to Pandora's ability to hide herself and stay out of Bow range, but it's not hard if Pit keeps his distance and is prepared to move away should Pandora uncloak on top of him.

Characteristics

Pandora is an amorphous, soap-bubble-like spirit with only the barest remnants of a face. Said to be a god, like Uranos and Holer, this creature can phase in and out of visibility, and thus can easily sneak up on invaders. Her eyes do not contain any irises and there seems to be no substance behind her ghostly facade. In Uprising, Pandora has a much more ghastly appearance, seeming to be made up of a ghostly blue fire. She also now has a set of sharp teeth and wears a halo-like object on top of her "head".

Appearances

Kid Icarus

"The Gatekeeper of the Skyworld fortress. A demon god who administers all disasters. Blowing out bubbles, it has the power to warp when you least expect it."

Centurions are very hard to keep alive in this fight, and are almost not worth the effort. Instead, highly mobile hit-and-run tactics, something that the slow-moving Centurions don't do well, will win this fight. As Pandora fades in and out of the battlefield, a pair of bubbles will ricochet around the room, and trying to dodge both bubbles and Pandora herself is what makes this fight difficult.

Kid Icarus: Uprising

Goddess of Calamity, Pandora was confirmed to be returning in the game via her official AR card. She retains the ability to suddenly vanish then reappear to attack Pit, but also gains an inhaling ability and several fire based moves. She is fought as a boss during Chapter 5 of the story, where Pit will have to traverse her labyrinth of illusions, where she keeps the Mirror of Truth. She also appears again in Chapter 22, where her appearance is changed to become more humanoid like the other gods. In this game Pandora is depicted as having unusual (almost crazy) ideals and behavior, notably including the running gags of being involved in activities that requires hands and legs (such as yoga and driving) and her bizarre choices in decoration as criticized by Pit and Palutena. She appears to deny her odd character when ever the topic is brought up.

Trivia

  • Pandora draws her name from the Greek myth of Pandora, the woman who opened Pandora's Box and released all the evils unto mankind, closing the box just before hope itself escaped.
