During the beginning of [[Chapter 1]], Medusa appears as an astral projection in the sky and greets Pit and Palutena by taunting them both. She reappears after Pit defeats [[Twinbellows]], but only laughs at Pit's threat before retreating. Medusa later appears in [[Chapter 6]], where she offers [[Dark Pit]] some help to defeat Pit, but he refuses the offer and desires no involvement with the [[Underworld Army]] whatsoever. The goddess of darkness doesn't appear to be too bothered, but rather amused as she watches the doppelganger angel engage in battle with his lighter twin. Medusa oddly only makes a single statement in the land mission of the chapter, where she says that "humans turn to the gods in times of need and forget them in the times of prosperity" and "they really are a fickle bunch". After delivering this piece of dialogue she does not make any further appearances in this chapter.

Medusa makes her second to last appearance in [[Chapter 9]], where she finally faces against her arch-rival, Pit. She greets the angel again via astral projection when he arrives in front of her castle. After mocking Pit, Medusa summons the [[Underworld Gatekeeper]] as a last line of defense. The machine is fortunately destroyed by the help of Dark Pit. As Pit infiltrates deeper inside the castle, Medusa's anger begins to show as she accuses Palutena of being the evil one. However, Pit is quick to defend his goddess and blames Medusa for her own punishment, and also manages to question why she was revived in the first place. Medusa states that she does not remember, and it doesn't matter because she is most importantly here to exact her revenge. After the small heated argument, Pit reaches the real Medusa in a final battle. As the fight continues, Medusa reveals her true monstrous form as seen in the original game as a last resort, but Pit equipped with the Three Sacred Treasures appears to be no match for the goddess and falls to the hero. After Medusa's defeat, her castle is shown crumbling away and the credits begin to play. Pit and Palutena celebrate their victory, thinking they have defeated the final boss of the game, but shortly after [[Hades]] reveals himself and states he revived Medusa as a distraction.

Despite her destruction previously, Medusa makes a surprise appearance in [[Chapter 25]] during the true final boss battle against Hades, claiming that she was annoyed of being constantly revived by the Underworld god. She saves Pit from a powerful attack by decapitating Hades, only to be obliterated by Hades when he reforms his head.
