Your progress in the game will be automatically saved to your save file. While saving is in progress, the icon will be displayed at the topleft of the upper screen.

● Do not turn the power off and on repeatedly or remove the

Game Card or SD Card while saving. Make sure not to reset the system during saves or get dirt in the terminals. These actions could result in permanent data loss.

The Fiend's Cauldron

Before beginning a chapter, you can place hearts in the

Intensity. The higher the

Intensity, the more difficult the chapter will be, but you will receive more hearts for completing it and earn better loot.

About Hearts

Hearts can be obtained in various ways, such as defeating enemies or dismantling weapons. You can use them to alter the Intensity of chapters or redeem them for new weapons.

Gear

Here you can choose which weapon to use in the chapter and equip powers that grant special effects during gameplay. After equipping new gear, it can be helpful to test it out in the Practice Range.

Arms Altar

This is where you can redeem hearts for new weapons, or fuse multiple weapons together to create new weapons (the weapons used in this process will be lost) . You can also dismantle unwanted weapons, converting them into hearts.

Idol Toss

Place an egg into the tray, then slide the tray downwards and release. This will send the egg flying into the sky, where it will turn into an Idol. It is also possible to use multiple eggs at once.

Eggs can be obtained by progressing through the game, or by spending Play Coins accumulated on your Nintendo 3DS system.

Note: For more information on Play

Coins, please refer to the Operations

Manual for your Nintendo 3DS system.

Failing a Chapter

If the health gauge is depleted completely,

Pit will enter Crisis mode, in which the health gauge does not appear. If Pit takes too much damage while in Crisis mode, the chapter will be failed. You will be given the option to retry the chapter from a specific point (Continue), return to the Move Out! menu or change gear (this last option will not be available in certain chapters).

As failing the chapter causes the

Intensity to lower, the loot you have gathered will become slightly less valuable.

● If you pick up a Drink of the Gods item during Crisis mode, the health gauge will be immediately refilled.

● Pit will recover from Crisis mode automatically after a short period of time.

8

❶ When a player on your team is defeated, your shared Team Life gauge will be depleted. (The amount depleted is proportional to the value of the weapon used by the defeated player.)

❷ When a player's defeat causes the Team Life gauge to be emptied completely, that player will transform into a powerful angel.

❸ The first team to defeat the enemy angel wins the game.

Free-For-All

A battle where all other players are considered enemies. Defeat as many opponents as possible within the time limit. The player with the highest score at the end is the winner.

AR Card Battle

Select the menu, or the icon from the main icon from the Vault, to battle using KID ICARUS:

UPRISING AR Cards.

Note: KID ICARUS: UPRISING

AR Cards can only be used with this game.

How To Play

❶ Point the outer cameras at an

AR Card, and an

Idol will appear.

Up to three Idols can be displayed at once.

❷ To make the Idols battle, place two AR Cards so that their lower edges directly face one another, then press  or touch FIGHT!

Only two cards may participate in any one battle.

Note: You can take pictures of your

Idols with  or . These pictures will be saved to the SD Card, where they can be viewed from the

Nintendo 3DS Camera application on the HOME Menu.

About Idols

Idols are 3D models of characters and other game elements. Some

Idols can be obtained in the main game's Vault, while others appear from AR Cards.

Using AR Cards

● Place the AR Cards on a flat, well-lit surface. Adjust the distance and angle, keeping the

AR Cards within the sights of the outer cameras, until they are recognised correctly.

● Ensure that the whole AR Card is visible on the upper screen. If part of it is not visible, it may not be recognised.

● Use AR Cards in areas where they will not be illuminated directly by sunlight or light from other sources, as this can interfere with the outer cameras' ability to recognise them properly.

● If an outer camera is dirty, wipe it with a soft cloth before you begin.

● If the AR Cards are bent or folded, they cannot be recognised by the system. Ensure that any AR Cards in use are flat on the surface.

When using AR Cards, it is necessary to physically move your Nintendo 3DS system. Make sure you have plenty of space to move around the cards and see them from different angles. You should also keep a firm grip on the system at all times.

Avoid making forceful movements with the system or parts of the system, as this can lead to injury or damage to surrounding objects.
