abstract | - U-3 will be encountered during chapter 5-3 at the Luggage containers area. During the initial encounter U-3 can not be killed, the player must navigate and escape the three containers while avoiding the monster. There are three containers, the player can only move from one to the next by locating the two emergency switches and then heading for the exit. When both switches have been pressed, the container will drop after 30 seconds. Not escaping results in death. When the encounter begins, U-3 will be next to the player and start attacking with "Tentacle bashing" and "Tentacle grab" moves. Doing so much damage to it will cause it to jump up on the rafters out of sight for a while, but it will eventually drop back down. While on the ceiling, U-3 can use the "Ceiling tentacle grab" move. If the player fails to dodge with the actions buttons, they must use the shake off command to break free. In the second container, there will be one scripted event where U-3 will drop down. In the last container after pressing the first button, U-3 will drop down and sprout out a new pincer appendage. It will now be able to use the "Scissor attack" and "Ceiling scissor attack" moves. The player will be safe upon escaping giving them a chance to heal, reload their weapons, and pick up a few nearby items. Advancing forward a few steps will trigger a cutscene where U-3 attacks again and then the player must fight until they defeat the monster. After a set amount of damage, U-3's attack pattern will change and start to exclusively use the pincer. U-3 will drop 50,000₧.
