Three Sacred Treasures
The Three Sacred Treasures are legendary items once possessed by Palutena, ruler of Angel Land. In each game, they reside in Sacred Caskets that only appear after defeating each Gatekeeper in a Fortress. Invariably, the treasures cannot be used until the final stage in each game.
Appearances
Kid Icarus
When Medusa took over Angel Land, the three Treasures were stolen from Palutena's army and placed into the clutches of the Fortress Gatekeepers. Pit needs the power from these artifacts to defeat Medusa, and thus invades the gloomy labyrinths to reclaim them.
Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters
To avoid the Treasures falling into the wrong hands, Palutena stashed them in the Fortresses. However, since Pit's quest is to gain the strength to use the Treasures, these challenges only serve to increase his strength and make him worthy enough to use all of them by the time he reaches the Palace in the Sky.
Here, the Mirror Shield was replaced by the Silver Armor.
Kid Icarus: Uprising
The Three Sacred Treasures make a return, and Pit must obtain them in order to defeat Medusa once more. These powerful items were being kept inside the constellations within the Sea of Galaxies, and the Space Pirates managed to get a hold of them. In Chapter 8, Pit must battle through both the extraterrestrial and Underworld forces to get the Three Sacred Treasures back. After Pit defeats the Space Kraken, he will finally have the artifacts in his possession and will be able to use them on his fight against Medusa. Pit later attempts to use them against Hades in Chapter 23, but they have no effect and are quickly destroyed.
