''[[The Aurum Brain]]'' is the seventeenth chapter in the storyline of ''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]'', and is the final part of the [[Aurum]] story arc. It has [[Palutena's Army]], the [[Underworld Army]], the [[Forces of Nature]], and [[Pyrrhon]] all working together to perform a full assault on the massive fortress housing the [[Aurum Brain]]. This chapter is unique in that it’s entirely on-rails, even during the ground portion of [[Pit]]’s adventure. | ''[[The Aurum Brain]]'' is the seventeenth chapter in the storyline of ''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]'', and is the final part of the [[Aurum]] story arc.

As mentioned before, the ground portion of this chapter is entirely on-rails, with Pit fighting on a series of moving platforms. The first platform is quite small, initially making combat difficult. Viridi remedies this by bumping Pit onto a larger platform also carried by her troops, providing more space for battle. Now approaching the Aurum fortress once again, Pit must fight off multiple waves of enemies while avoiding many obstacles. During this time, the Aurum attempt to destroy the platform by using one of their battleships to swallow it up. A second attempt has two ships sandwiching the platform between them, although Viridi’s Nature troops are able to pull it out. Pyrrhon, watching from the Aurum Brain, acknowledges Pit’s determination and literally rewards him with a Pyro Blaster attack launched from the interior of the fortress. The [[Nutski]]s carrying the platform tilt it to shield Pit from the attack, sacrificing themselves in the process. With no one carrying him, Pit once again falls before being saved by a group of Palutena’s own [[Centurion]]s, who have now joined the fray. Pulled by two powerful [[Centurion Strongarm]]s, the new platform (equipped with a [[Jump Pad]]) is swiftly taken into the fortress, where Pit must now guard the two soldiers from being attacked by Aurum forces. Once they make it to the Aurum Brain’s chamber, the Centurions lift the platform and Pit upwards to meet Pyrrhon for battle. | As mentioned before, the ground portion of this chapter is entirely on-rails, with Pit fighting on a series of moving platforms.

Upon confronting the sun god, it’s revealed that the Aurum Brain has nearly assimilated him to create [[Aurum Pyrrhon]]. Now completely under its control, the Brain uses its new-found fire abilities during this challenging boss battle. The Centurions keep safe beneath the platform while slowly rotating it around the boss, making this a unique fight. Initially shielded, Aurum Pyrrhon will only be vulnerable by destroying the targets lining the outside of the arena. He can then be shot at directly to cause actual damage. The sun god himself uses many dangerous attacks, some of which encourage heavy use of the platform’s Jump Pad to avoid. Pyrrhon’s Pyro Snake can be one of his most annoying attacks, as it can often be difficult to dodge due to its size and homing capabilities. Aurum Pyrrhon is proven to be a very strong foe, taking a lot of punishment before finally succumbing to Pit’s attacks. | Upon confronting the sun god, it’s revealed that the Aurum Brain has nearly assimilated him to create [[Aurum Pyrrhon]].

Upon taking enough damage, the Aurum Brain will seemingly weaken its grip on Pyrrhon, causing him to unleash his full power in another explosion. Pit once again manages to escape, while the sun god begins propelling the Aurum fortress far away from the planet, ending the threat of the invaders. Although it’s unknown if this was Pyrrhon’s intention, Viridi nevertheless claims it’s the first time he’s actually been helpful. | Upon taking enough damage, the Aurum Brain will seemingly weaken its grip on Pyrrhon, causing him to unleash his full power in another explosion.
