Air Battle


The Aurum have been weakened with the loss of their vanguard, but are still a capable opponent. Diving from the doorway, Pit’s first targets are the marked weak points on a swarm of Aurum ships.

After your first attack on the fleet, the Aurum counterattack is vicious, with ships of all sizes opening fire.

Hades’s joins the fun, seeing the opportunity to steal a choice new ride for his Underworld Army. Palutena sets Pit’s course for the central Aurum Hive, where their military strength is continuously produced.

Rozzes, small green glowing spheres, try to crash into Pit, while the Aurum flood the skies with copies of familiar Underworld enemies.

As you get closer to the Hive, Palutena advises Pit that it is possible to hide from the Aurum fleet through a lower route, and takes Pit inside an Aurum vessel. A destroyer rams its way through the hull, trying to shoot you down.

Having escaped the destroyer, Pit faces down another portion of the Aurum fleet. Palutena helpfully marks more weak points on their hulls. Do your best to destroy them while also dealing with the regular Aurum troops, as the extra hearts you get from them are always welcome. There are many good opportunities to use a special attack here.

The attack on the hive is blocked by a massive energy shield, but Hades’s shows no respect for such petty defenses and throws his newly acquired battleship into the shield. Your route into the hive is through the burning remains of Hades’s’ ship!
