Kid Icarus/Items

Hearts
Hearts serve as the currency of Angel Land. People exchange them for other goods such as life restoring bottle and chalices, or fortress mapping items.

Enchanted Weapons
You'll only gain possession of these items if you withstand the torture of the training rooms. Only then will the gods bestow one of the three enchanted weapons upon Pit. But possession alone is not enough if you wish to use them. The weapons will only activate when you have three full bars of health. Once activated, they will remain in effect unless they are stolen away from you by the Plutons.

Sacred Treasures
The three sacred treasures are the only items that will endow Pit with the power to defeat Medusa, the goddess of darkness. Each one is protected by the three powerful fortress guardians. They must all be defeated in order for Pit to collect the chests that contain the treasures. Not only that, but the treasures will not open unless all three are brought close to one another, at which point, Pit can don the treasures at take his battle directly to Medusa.

Normal items
These items can be found throughout Angel Land. They each serve useful purposes. Learn when to utilize each of them to maximize their effectiveness.

Black Market items
Shopping at the black market can set you back quite a large number of hearts, but it may be your only opportunity to buy life saving items if you are in a clutch. The Black Marketeer has struck a deal with the thieving Pluton and will sell you the special weapons that the Plutons snatch from you at a very steep price. Fortunately, the black market accepts credit if you possess the credit card and can't afford to pay for everything up front.

Mapping items
You will only find the following items in each of the fortresses. They are needed to help you plot your way around the maze like buildings. They can be found lying around, or they can be purchased from within fortress shops. The items cannot be transferred from one fortress to another, so you'll need to collect or purchase them anew in each fortress.
