Hades's Heart (ハデスのハートHadesu no haato), known as Heart of Hades in Pit's confrontation with it, is the boss of Chapter 23, Lord of the Underworld in Kid Icarus: Uprising. It is the heart that lives within Hades, hence the name. It has two legs to move, tubes it uses to melee attack, and what seems like an eye in the center of it's body. Defeating it doesn't kill Hades, but weakens him by a significant amount, possibly a major contribution to Hades final defeat in The War's End.
Appearances
Kid Icarus: Uprising
At least this is as close to a "heart" as someone like Hades could have. Clearly not made to pump blood, Hades's Heart moves and acts like it has a mind of its own, wildly running arund its enemies and setting traps as it goes.
Location
Hades' heart is not belonging to a human, but rather to a god. Therefore, special features from a normal heart are expected. This explains why the heart is found and fought in a maze. The battlefield is similar to the original Bomberman. When the heart starts making copies of itself, the gameplay style may remind the user of the Pac-Man series.
Battle Style
When first encountered, it seems quite easy to follow the heart around and attack it. However, after a while or after taking enough damage, it will create a pseudo-copy of itself. Try to stay away from its copy (who can be told apart from the real one by its yellow chromatic scheme) because it will eventually explode, sending vertical and horizontal columns of flame; these do not pass through walls. The heart may also drop mines, but these have a low blast radius and are simple to dodge. The real heart can cause frustration for players. After being dealt a certain amount of damage, it will gain a red aura, speed up for ten seconds and try to run into you. It's possible to dodge these rams, but the Heart's copies following Pit around make this task harder. An important tip would be to not hit the fake, since this will not help beat the boss. Long-ranged weapon are useful since it's possible to shoot over the walls and hit the organ. Although Clubs are the most effective in this battle since they all (except the Atlas Club) have charged shots that can travel through the walls. These methods will make the battle more durable for impatient players.
Trivia
