War in the Sky
Having finished her business in the Era of Twilight, Cia steps through another portal. This one leads to the floating village of Skyloft, where another conflict rages. Sensing another opportunity to subjugate a powerful ally, Cia begins her attack.
Compared to the previous Scenario, this one starts off relatively calmly. Still, there’s no point in wasting time. Hurry and capture the S. Rockface Keep, then switch to Volga and capture the Central Square.
Capturing either Keep earns you the trust of the Skyloft Forces, who had been steadily losing the battle against the forces of the Demon Lord, Ghirahim. Several additional Keeps fall under your command at this point, and you’re tasked with defeating The Imprisoned and Ghirahim, who advance toward your base. Send one character to confront Ghirahim and another to battle The Imprisoned, pausing only to capture the Academy Keep along the way.
Hard Gold Skulltula Opportunity You must be playing as Volga to reveal this Hard Gold Skulltula. Your goal is to capture and hold every Keep, except the Rogue Base, and including the Fairy Fountain, within 10 minutes. This is only possible once Fi becomes an enemy. Capture the three Keeps to weaken her. |
The moment you defeat Ghirahim, immediately switch to the character that you’ve sent to battle The Imprisoned, and assist Fi in bringing down the nightmarish fiend. Remember to attack its toes to make it topple over and expose its Weak Point gauge. Special Attacks are ideal for destroying The Imprisoned’s toes in short order.
Alliance Over
Having met his match, Ghirahim is quick to ally himself with Cia’s forces. This prompts Cia to turn against Fi and her Skyloft Forces. Fi retreats to the Rogue Base, and her army gains morale. You must capture the Statue Keep, Town Center Keep, and Fairy Fountain in order to weaken Fi.
Beware! A host of Keep Saboteurs soon appear and begin storming toward your Allied Base. These powerful Captains pose a grave threat to the Keeps that you control; with their enhanced morale, they can capture your Keeps in mere seconds. Use the Command screen to order your Warriors back to the Allied Base, and then play defense until all of the Keep Saboteurs have been neutralized.
Gold Skulltula Opportunity While beating back the Keep Saboteurs, you’ll likely cross the 1,000 KO threshold. Luckily, the 1,000 KO Gold Skulltula appears within easy reach of your Allied Base. Find it behind the thick vines to the north of S. Rockface Keep. Use the Boomerang to chop down the vines and reach your reward. |
Work at reclaiming your Keeps once the Keep Saboteurs are no more. Use the Command screen to advance one character toward capturing the marked Keeps that are empowering Fi and her forces, while leaving two characters to defend your base and the nearby Keeps. Each marked Keep that you capture will lower Fi’s morale, making matters easier.
Piece of Heart Opportunity A treasure chest appears in the Fairy Fountain once it’s been captured. Open the chest with Cia to claim a Piece of Heart. |
Defeat Fi!
The battle sways in your favor after you’ve captured the three marked Keeps. Fi’s morale is lowered back down to normal, making them no match for you. Press the attack and storm the Rogue Base, defeating Fi to bring the Scenario to a close.
