As expected, Palutena serves as the boss of this chapter, although it’s actually the invisible Chaos Kin that must be attacked to cause any meaningful damage. Shooting at and defeating the goddess herself will actually penalize Pit by finishing him off and forcing him to restart the battle. Because of this, continuous dodging is a far more necessary measure to survive Palutena’s many attacks. Meanwhile, Viridi explains that the Chaos Kin is actually located high above Palutena, forcing Pit to shoot in that general area until his shots impact the invisible creature. After taking enough hits, the Chaos Kin will drop out of the air and reveal itself as a cyclopean insect. It rarely attacks directly, but Palutena will still fight for the monster while it flies around the arena. On many occasions, the Chaos Kin will actually grab ahold of Palutena and use her as a shield to trick Pit into shooting the goddess instead. Eventually, it will disappear and return above Palutena until it’s shot down again. The Chaos Kin will repeat this pattern until it’s finally defeated. | As expected, Palutena serves as the boss of this chapter, although it’s actually the invisible Chaos Kin that must be attacked to cause any meaningful damage.

After taking enough hits, the Chaos Kin will burn up and release its hold on Palutena’s soul. However, just as the goddess is about to reawaken, the monster quickly revives itself and uses its hook-like tail to forcefully remove Palutena’s soul from her body, turning her into stone. The Chaos Kin tears open a dimensional rift leading to the [[Chaos Vortex]], where it quickly retreats with Palutena’s soul. As the passage begins to close, [[Dark Pit]] suddenly rides into view on the Lightning Chariot and crashes it into the rift, creating a permanent opening. Seemingly becoming an ally, the dark angel claims that Pit must save Palutena before the Chaos Kin devours her soul, leading straight into the next chapter. | After taking enough hits, the Chaos Kin will burn up and release its hold on Palutena’s soul.
