Aurum Brain

The Aurum Brain is a boss in Kid Icarus: Uprising. It serves as the leader and control panel for the Aurum, a sort of parallel to Star Fox: Assault's Aparoid Queen with the Aparoids.

Boss Battle
The Aurum Brain is fought in two phases. During phase 1 of the battle, he makes no attempt to harm Pit. Instead, the brain relies on his bodyguards to protect him. Pyrrhon advises that Pit use his weapons on the brain. After a while, he becomes corrupted. Pyrrhon fuses his power with the brain, and they become one. Pit is dragged from the fortress by his goddess and leader, Lady Palutena, but Pyrrhon appears in their midst, gloating about his newfound leadership of the Aurum.

During the Second Phase, Aurum Pyrrhon becomes the enemy. He attacks by using a barrier to protect his health. He can be damaged if you destroy the orbs powering the barrier Pyrrhon is protected by, but he won't move. Pit has his own platform since there is no floor.

While exposed, Pyrrhon can use an orange ring to crush Pit or send fiery serpents to damage him. He can also throw a fireball or a horizontal shockwave, which can be avoided if Pit uses the jump pad to make his getaway. Once Pyrrhon is defeated, the Aurum Brain is defeated too, and Pit escapes. Pyrrhon uses his powers to eject the Aurum into space.
