=== Trial 2 ===
The second trial consists of two consecutive boss battles. However, these bosses are tweaked versions of past battles. First, Pit must battle both [[Magnus]] and [[Dark Lord Gaol|Gaol]], who still wears her cursed armor. Dyntos explains that they are not copies, but were actually invited to test Pit in battle. Gaol's true voice can also be heard, and she is revealed to have rejoined Magnus after her defeat during [[Magnus and the Dark Lord|Chapter 2]]. Because Magnus has no ranged attacks, he constantly tries to attack Pit up close, making him the likely choice to take down first. Once Magnus is out, Pit can focus on Gaol, who uses her attacks less often, but aims very well. When both are defeated, Palutena surprisingly appears in the arena and begins attacking Pit. This battle is very similar to the fight during [[Palutena's Temple (chapter)|Chapter 20]], but since this Palutena is a fake, she can be fired at. After Palutena is seemingly defeated, she is revealed to be an ugly, scary, purple impostor called [[Pseudo-Palutena]]. She is simply attacked in the same way as before, and was likely the product of Dyntos' questionable sense of humor.

===Magnus and Gaol
First, Pit must battle both [[Magnus]] and [[Dark Lord Gaol|Gaol]], who still wears her cursed armor. Dyntos explains that they are not copies, but were actually invited to test Pit in battle. Gaol's true voice can also be heard, and she is revealed to have rejoined Magnus after her defeat during [[Magnus and the Dark Lord|Chapter 2]]. Because Magnus has no ranged attacks, he constantly tries to attack Pit up close, making him the likely choice to take down first. Once Magnus is out, Pit can focus on Gaol, who uses her attacks less often, but aims very well.  
 
===Attacks===
* '''Cape Spin:''' Gaol spins in place, swatting Pit away with her cape.
* '''Charge:''' Gaol charges at Pit.
* '''Barrier:''' Gaol creates an energy barrier that reflects ranged shots to protect against frontal attacks.
* '''Energy Darts:''' Gaol fires blasts of dark energy in a scattershot pattern.
* '''Horn Blast:''' Gaol fires a blast of dark energy from her horns.
* '''Energy Ball:''' Gaol fires a slow moving ball of energy at Pit.
* '''Dark Channel:''' Gaol plants her hand on the ground, channeling dark energy in front of him which will damage Pit if he steps on it.
* '''Sword Swing:''' Magnus performs a three-hit combo with his sword.
* '''Kick:''' Magnus performs a dashing kick at Pit.
* '''Grand Slam:''' A rare move that Magnus only performs on higher intensities. Magnus spins his sword over his head, causing a small vacuum to draw Pit in before slamming the sword on the ground with great force.
 
===Pseudo-Palutena===
When both are defeated, Palutena surprisingly appears in the arena and begins attacking Pit. This battle is very similar to the fight during [[Palutena's Temple (chapter)|Chapter 20]], but since this Palutena is a fake, she can be fired at. After Palutena is seemingly defeated, she is revealed to be an ugly, scary, purple impostor called [[Pseudo-Palutena]]. She was most likely the product of Dyntos' questionable sense of humor. The fight with her is mostly the same as before, with the only change being a new attack where she fires several bolts of red light.
 
===Attacks===
* '''Sky Jump:''' If Pit wanders to close, Pseudo-Palutena will leap into the air, damaging Pit with the rings of light she leaves in her wake.
* '''Light Shoits:''' Pseudo-Palutena fires three bolts of light at Pit.
* '''Light Orb:''' Pseudo-Palutena fires a slow moving orb of light at Pit.
* '''Light Drones:''' Pseudo-Palutena summons two orbs of light that follow Pit and fire lasers for a short time.
* '''Pillars of Light:''' Pseudo-Palutena sends out three pillars of Light at Pit.
* '''Blinding Light:''' Pseudo-Palutena uses her Mirror Shield to create a blinding flash of light that fills the screen. It deals no damage.
* '''Luminescent Dash:''' Pseudo-Palutena surrounds herself in a pillar of light and charges at Pit.
* '''Halo Blast:''' Pseudo-Palutena's halo glows and she fires a blast of energy from it.
* '''Scattershot Light:''' Pseudo-Palutena fires bolts of red light in a scattershot pattern.
