== Ground Mission ==
The ground portion of this chapter is quite extensive, taking place in what appears to a whole other world within the Lunar Sanctum. Like the goddess of calamity [[Pandora]], Arlon is shown to be very fond of visual trickery and has many illusions spread throughout his domain. Some of these include holograms of various enemies that litter the Sanctum, as well as special mirrors that reveal invisible platforms and switches in their reflections. Midway through the level, both the [[Lunar Sanctum Control Centre]] and [[Dark Pit]] are fought as minibosses, the latter of which was casually invited by Arlon for a rematch against Pit. Because the Control Center responds to damage by releasing bombs, this can be used as a potential weapon against Dark Pit, especially if he’s tricked into shooting it himself. Upon being defeated, the dark angel will fly away, leaving Pit to finish off the Control Center if he hasn’t already. The rest of the trip to Arlon is a long one and includes traversing the Sanctum’s moon-like outer surface, as well as an unpleasant encounter with multiple Nature monsters called [[Clobbler]]s. These initially weak creatures grow enormous and dangerous when provoked, making them among the deadliest troops in Viridi’s army. After fighting off multiple waves of enemies in different rooms of the Sanctum, Pit will finally make it to Arlon himself.

===Dark Pit and Control Center Miniboss===
Both Dark Pit and the Lunar Sanctum’s Control Center serve as the chapter’s minibosses. While the Control Center is Pit's primary target, Dark Pit presents the more immediate threat as he relentlessly bombards Pit with arrows while moving around the large room. The Control Center itself does not attack, but will release a blast of energy when struck. This can be used to Pit's advantage as he can trick his dark counterpart into attacking the control center and take damage. After defeating Dark Pit, Pit can focus on the Control Center and can use hit and run tactics to finish it off.
===Attacks===
* '''Arrows:''' Dark Pit fires arrows at Pit.
* '''Charged Arrow:''' Dark Pit fires a charged shot.
* '''Energy Blast:''' When struck, the Control Center fires an energy blast in retaliation.
