The aerial part of this chapter begins in a desert location with sand dunes spread across it for miles. [[Palutena]] explains how Thanatos (who she still calls "Tanatos") has returned and is guarding an important item known as the Underworld Key. As he approaches the coastline at the edge of this desert, Pit is told by Palutena that he will have to hold his breath and dive underwater to reach the legendary palace. However, when he has qualms about doing so, Palutena instead decides to part the ocean to allow him to reach the Palace without actually having to dive underwater. It isn't long before Poseidon reveals himself as the one who split the ocean, with Palutena playfully stating that she was simply having some fun with Pit. Despite being slightly annoyed by this fact, the sea god reveals that he fully supports Palutena's efforts against the Underworld army. Meanwhile, Pit is lead through many cavernous locations and ruins while avoiding numerous water-based enemies, including the dangerous [[Brawny Claws]]. He finally reaches the seafloor, where he proceeds to enter the Palace while Poseidon closes the ocean. | The aerial part of this chapter begins in a desert location with sand dunes spread across it for miles.

The ground portion of this mission has Pit exploring the great halls of the palace, which resembles a massive underwater aquarium. Due to the lower temperatures of the area, this chapter introduces a pair of dangerous ice-based enemies: the classic [[Snowman]], which can breathe gusts of frosty wind, as well as the blizzard spawning [[Frozum]]. Thanatos constantly speaks during the entire mission, often making silly remarks rather than trying to intimidate the angel. At one point, Pit must ride a moving platform while avoiding enemies and walls that can push him off the edge. The Palace is also littered with electrified obstacles that often move on paths, as well as some trap doors and water pits. Pit has to work his way through the rest of the Palace in order to reach its throne room where the god of death is waiting for him. | The ground portion of this mission has Pit exploring the great halls of the palace, which resembles a massive underwater aquarium.
