Air Battle


Pit doesn’t even get out the door before getting attacked. Despite the loss of the Lunar Sanctum, Viridi’s Forces of Nature have been inspired to fight harder. To make matters worse, Hades’s has rejoined the battle, reviving Thanatos to lead the Underworld Army. The skies are filled with baddies from both factions, and huge whirlwinds can be seen everywhere.

Commanding the Forces of Nature is Phosphora, another of Viridi’s generals. After her electrifying entrance, Thanatos chases past Pit, and the two commanders engage in battle, to the detriment of anything unfortunate enough to be too close. Their initial clash parts the clouds, and Palutena sends her angel to pursue them.

Watch out for the beams fired from pieces of land floating throughout the storm.

Despite his exciting new glow dragon form, Thanatos can’t keep up with Phosphora, and is shot out of the sky. Recovery Orbs appear in the aftermath of his defeat.

Phosphora attempts to hide in the clouds to restore her strength after the battle, sending out lightning blasts and Nature baddies to slow Pit down.

Flages attempt to sneak up on Pit as he flies through the cloud corridor Palutena opens. Watch for them to be mixed in with the electric currents and other Nature minions. Special Attacks are recommended if you’re having trouble paying attention to everything happening all at once.

As soon as Pit breaks into the eye of the storm, the Thunder Cloud Temple looms in the distance. Survive Phosphora’s electric sniping skills for a little longer, until Palutena finds an opening in the enemy defenses and lands.
