Lieu, pronounced Luu by Oguma, is the final boss of Metal Slug 3D.
Information[]
The origins of Lieu were coming from one of Oguma's experiments. However due its unstable state, Oguma decided to abandon Lieu inside the North Pole's Alator. In 2030s after South Pole's Alator were activated in favor of Lugus, it inadvertently also activated North Pole's Alator which resulted the awakening of Lieu causing it to travel towards South Pole's Alator. After Lugus is almost defeated, Lieu somehow managed to reach South Pole's Alator much to the surprise of Oguma, Marco, Tarma Eri, and Fio. Lieu then unleashed a reddish fluid-like flesh towards Lugus consuming it and trapping the Regular Army cadets inside. Rumi Aikawa then drops the SV-001 in order to destroy Lieu. Once defeated, Lieu starts collapsing with Marco, Eri, Tarma and Fio escapin while Oguma and the Tuatha De Danann stay behind to tame Lieu. Oguma is then consumed by Lieu causing it to be destroyed in a huge energy blast.
Details[]
Lieu attacks by firing laser with many eyes (not the main eye), some eyes can be destroyed either dropping materials, weapons, health packs or gas tanks. After a few moments, it grows 2 arms with one eye in both arms. The eye acts similar to the previous eyes. If the player gets close to the arms, it will slash them with its finger. When one arm is defeated, Lieu's main eye will be exposed. Should both arms be defeated, it will give the player extra time. At this point several faces start raining the area. If the player doesn't attack the remaining arm, it will retreat and the face will try to eat them. Several arms will then try to punch the player before a foot finally falls from above trying to crush them. After dealing enough damage to the Lieu, it will endlessly scream as the faces keep falling from above.
Trivia[]
- Lieu is named after Lleu Llaw Gyffes, a figure in the Welsh mythology and equivalent to the Irish Lugh.
