Boss Battle: Pit’s Body


Years before, Pit was able to witness Magnus in action against the Underworld Army. Now Pit must use that strength to beat the evil stuffing out of himself to be freed of his ring prison.

Pit’s Body retains its full natural mobility and evasive skills, and the fight plays out similar to a duel against Dark Pit. Be especially careful of his charged dash shots. They can hit rather hard, and they fly at such great speed that if you’re not paying attention you can take hits before you’re ready. Pit’s Body can also be quite dangerous in melee combat, if you allow him to get started.

Despite not having a serious ranged attack, Magnus is not helpless if Pit’s Body puts some distance between you. His sword is absurdly large and even his basic swipes with the weapon have impressive range, allowing you to smack Pit’s Body out of a dodge rather easily. Magnus’s forward dash attack is a powerful kick that also helps him get close, while guaranteeing a knockdown on Pit’s Body if it lands. If Pit’s Body manages to clash his weapon against yours, just keep trying to attack. You’ll eventually break through if you’re persistent.

After the battle, Magnus puts the ring on Pit’s Body, breaking the ring and freeing the angel from his imprisonment. Still unsure of why everything has become the way it has, Pit pleads with Palutena to grant him the ability to fly back to Skyworld, and his wishes are apparently answered...
