Magnus and the Dark Lord: Difference between revisions

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.
