Air Battle


Dyntos is the God of the Forge who made the original Sacred Treasures. Palutena hopes that he will be able to provide some means of defeating Hades.

You might notice that the enemies you face from the very beginning of this Air Battle come from every major faction. Even Palutena’s own forces are represented here. After the first waves are destroyed, Dyntos himself welcomes Pit to his realm just as a set of Recovery Orbs appear. Take them as an omen. Dyntos has three special trials Pit must pass if he is to receive the weapon he needs to battle Hades, but your first challenge is just to get to Dyntos first.

Closing in on Dyntos’s workshop, you’ll notice pairs of Monoliths in the distance. Try to destroy the enemies that attempt to get behind them. If they manage to get behind the Monoliths, they are converted into Rozzes and attempt to ram you.

As soon as you enter the workshop, more Recovery Orbs can be collected. It’s good timing, as more baddies attack. Watch out for Ornes to appear; they close in very fast at these speeds.

The corridor begins to fracture the farther you travel and the enemies only increase in numbers. If possible, have Special Attacks ready for this section.

After surviving the long passage, Pit emerges in a dark space. Three sets of weapons suddenly appear before him and fire energy waves that can be very hard to dodge at first. For the swords, try to be in the lower left or right corners of the screen. The claws can be evaded by being at the center and top of the screen. For the bow, be at the center left or right edges of the screen. After that final onslaught, you arrive before Dyntos himself.
