The Empyrean is a mountainous area in the Dream Kingdom that serves as the fifth level of Team Kirby Clash Deluxe and Super Kirby Clash. It introduces Tougher category bosses to the game.
General Information[]
The Empyrean is a a rocky location set at a high altitude—some clouds float at ground level here. Massive, unnatural spires topped with stars are erected in the background. Sharp rock formations and crystals are also present. The sun shines down from the sky through a thick layer of clouds. In its alternate form, which is used when attempting harder quests, the clouds darken, the sky turns purple, and lightning crackles in the background.
