1. Typically near the start of every land battle, there is some food for restoring Pit’s health.
2. Shemums and Monoeyes are your first opponents. Watch out for the Shemums’ poisonous bites. On higher difficulties this can be quite damaging. Just past the first group of enemies, a Nettler drops in.
3. Near the fountain, you come across another sizeable enemy force. Make sure to take out the jar that is spawning Shemums. A Treasure Box is also near the fountain.
4. If you’re on Intensity level 5, you can open the Intensity gate to the right of the fountain. Defeat the Crawler and the two Gyrazers here to make another Treasure Box appear.
5. As you approach the stairs, another large enemy ambush strikes. Don’t forget the Treasure Box at the tip of the alley between both stairways.
6. Take the alley between both stairways and defeat the Wave Angler that attacks. A jump pad appears, taking you up to the next level and to another Treasure Box.
7. The last stretch of stairs takes you directly to the boss, but you’re attacked along the way by a Ganewmede, among other monsters. Once you slice past them, collect the Drink of the Gods, and go after Medusa’s pet.
