The ground mission of this chapter is much longer than the last, with the Dark Lord's castle being a difficult trek to the throne room. While Medusa herself isn't present in this location, her army is helping to defend the castle. For the first part of the mission, Pit will have to make due on his own and deal with some new enemies, including the variety of [[Skuttler]]s that roam the palace. In addition, the castle is guarded by extremely dangerous floating shield-like creatures called [[Boogity|Boogities]] which can launch missiles that home in on Pit. They can only be significantly hurt when they turn around to attack. As Pit makes his way through the castle, he will run into Magnus, who is also fighting off the forces of the Underworld army. While it is currently unknown where Magnus originates from, he is said to be a mercenary fighting alongside the human forces outside of the castle. He makes a deal with Pit and Palutena to work together since they share a common goal. In addition, he expresses anger towards Palutena for allowing the war between humans and monsters to get out of control, claiming that their world is collapsing as a result. As they advance further into the castle, Magnus proves to be a very experienced fighter in comparison to Pit. This is shown when he is able to deduce that the Underworld army set a trap by using a [[Treasure Chest]] to lure them in, although Pit was quick to fall for the trick and get them both into trouble. Despite this, they are both able to make their way to the upper part of the castle where Gaol resides. | The ground mission of this chapter is much longer than the last, with the Dark Lord's castle being a difficult trek to the throne room.

===Zodiac Chamber=== | |||
A Zodiac Chamber can be found behind a large cloth hanging in the hallway just before encountering Magnus. Both the wall and the cloth can simply be passed through to reach the chamber. | |||

Upon reaching the throne room, Pit and Magnus will both battle Dark Lord Gaol. It has been stated that Gaol was designed to look like an RPG-type final boss character, despite only being the second boss of the game. Gaol has a plethora of attacks, some of which are only used at higher difficulty levels. One attack has him spinning around very fast when he is being overpowered by both Pit and Magnus. Gaol's cape is quite strong and can knock them back with relative ease whenever he uses the spin attack. In addition, he is capable of launching a variety projectiles, using an energy shield to deflect ranged attacks, summoning Skuttlers to assist in battle, and can rapidly warp around the room to avoid damage. Another particularly powerful move has the dark lord hovering in the air and unleashing a massive burst of energy, which almost covers the entire room. | Upon reaching the throne room, Pit and Magnus will both battle Dark Lord Gaol.
