Your next fight is against Goddess Palutena, only this time she’s not being controlled by the Chaos Kin. You probably saw most of her attacks while you were trying to save her from the Chaos Kin, but now she’s a bit less restrained during this fight. You can’t avoid hurting her in this fight.
Despite her immense magical power, Palutena is a ranged fighter first and foremost. If you can weave between her spells and get in close, you will find she’s not as well equipped to deal with an opponent that is right next to her, and you can get in a full combo before she knocks you away. After you cause enough damage to Palutena, you find that she’s not exactly what she seems to be.
