Appearances
Chapter 11: Viridi, Goddess of Nature
After Pit and Palutena attempt to fight against the Forces of Nature, Viridi sends Cragalanche to the Reset Bomb Forest to stop them. Upon Pit's arrival, Cragalanche emerges from a giant pile of rocks and the two engage in battle. After his defeat, Cragalanche falls apart and his remains are teleported away.
Chapter 24: The Three Trials
A replica of Cragalanche appears in one of Pit's trials, created by Dyntos to help test the angel's abilities.
Battle Style
Cragalanche's battle style remains predictable throughout the entire battle, but will become faster as the battle progresses. He begins by either pounding the ground with his fist to send three thin shockwaves, or throwing a rock at Pit. He will then roll towards him and either levitate above him and slam down, or twirl at Pit and crash into the ground. He might also enlarge his fist and punch Pit. If Pit attacks his weak spot, Cragalanche may fall down and become temporarily vulnerable. Once he recovers, he will slam into the ground, creating a small shockwave around him.
After he has taken enough damage, he surrounds himself with rocks and sends them flying in all directions. His previous attacks also act differently during the second half of the battle: his fist pound attack will now be able to send two sets of three shockwaves rather than the one set from before; his rock throw attack will use a much larger rock; and his punch instead becomes a wide arm sweep, which can be interrupted by striking the red weakpoint that appears on his arm during this attack. He can also burrow into the ground and attempt to resurface into Pit, or slam his body into the ground in front of him to send out a far-reaching earthquake.
