Air Battle


Living up to its name, the Chaos Vortex is a chaotic realm where little makes sense. What does make sense is that there are plenty of baddies crawling out of the woodwork to destroy Pit.

Shadowy hands will reach out of nothingness to halt Pit’s progress, while various enemies slip between the massive fingers to attack.

Stay sharp when everything goes dark. Large waves of monsters suddenly appear, taking familiar shapes... but acting differently from what you have come to expect. Splin usually don’t fire laser bolts, for example.

Monoeyes attempt to block your vision, and annoyingly, they can’t be destroyed outright even with a Special Attack. You should use one regardless, as there are plenty of enemies attacking that you can’t see with the Monoeyes obscuring everything.

Pit catches up to the Chaos Kin, only to find that it appears to have made many copies of itself. Shoot them all down.

When a series of arcane words scroll into view, pay attention to which ones turn gold and try to evade them as they fly at Pit. Shortly after this battle of words, Shadow Pits will attack.

Viridi spots the real Chaos Kin once more, and Pit races in pursuit. You get some Recovery Orbs at the start of this chase, and you will need every little bit of help you can get. Do your best to keep damaging the Chaos Kin for spare hearts, and avoid its counterattacks.

The final stretch of the Chaos Kin chase can be rather crazy, even at lower Intensities. Don’t hesitate to pull the trigger on a Special Attack if necessary. There are a lot of enemies who try to block your progress now. The Chaos Kin will make a serious mistake, crashing into a boulder and stunning itself. Blast it out of the sky, then prepare to dive after it to finish the job.
