The grounded mission takes place in three parts, one of which is the chapter's main boss itself.

The second trial consists of two consecutive boss battles. However, these bosses are tweaked versions of past battles. First, Pit must battle both Magnus and Gaol, who still wears her cursed armor. Dyntos explains that they are not copies, but were actually invited to test Pit in battle. Gaol's true voice can also be heard, and she is revealed to have rejoined Magnus after her defeat during [[Magnus and the Dark Lord|Chapter 2]]. Because Magnus has no ranged attacks, he constantly tries to attack Pit up close, making him the likely choice to take down first. Once Magnus is out, Pit can focus on Gaol, who uses her attacks less often, but aims very well. When both are defeated, Palutena surprisingly appears in the arena and begins attacking Pit. This battle is very similar to the fight during [[Palutena's Temple|Chapter 20]], but since this Palutena is a fake, she can be fired at. After Palutena is seemingly defeated, she is revealed to be a hairy, scary, purple form of herself called Pseudo-Palutena. She is simply attacked in the same way as before, and was likely the product of Dyntos's questionable sense of humor. After this fight, Pit will move onto the third and final trial.

This final trial is a boss battle against the [[Great Sacred Treasure]], which was crafted by Dyntos as an upgrade of the original Sacred Treasures.  This full body armor suit is not only ten times the size of Pit, but also has a multitude of different forms. This battle has the Sacred Treasure using a variety of laser-based attacks. One of its most dangerous weapons can launch a powerful beam of energy, with only five seconds to get away from the attack's range (shown by a light extending across the ground). If Pit fail to do this, he will be instantly finished off and forced to restart the battle. The Great Sacred Treasure won't use this attack again during the fight, likely due to the immense power it requires. After defeating the superweapon, Dyntos will congratulate Pit for completing his three trials.
