Not to be confused with the Olmite (2) demigod, Lamassu (2).
Lahamu is the queen of the Aliens found within the Mothership.
She is always found on the second floor of the Mothership, just below the Plasma Cannon.
Behavior[]
Lahamu is completely immobile, relying completely on her psychic powers, Forcefields, and Proto Shopkeepers to defend her.
If Spelunker appears within her range, she attacks with a targeting reticle appearing over her target.
After a short delay, the reticle freezes in place before zapping anything within its radius, stunning and dealing ten points of damage to anything hit by it.
Killing Lahamu permanently disables all Forcefields in the Mothership, allowing easy access to the Plasma Cannon above her. However, killing her doesn't cancel any attacks prepared before her death, allowing her to harm enemies posthumously.
Lahamu charging her psychic blast onto the player.
Strategy[]
- If the player wishes to kill Lahamu, it is recommended to attack her from the side of the Mothership containing Pilot's Coffin, as the other side contains a nearby Generator that may spawn a successful Shopkeeper clone wielding a Shotgun.
- The player may wish to destroy both Forcefields protecting her if they plan to use either a Plasma Cannon or Shotgun to kill her, as reflected shots may come back to hit them.
- A Teleporter or Telepack may be used to easily telefrag her.
- Spike Shoes can also be used by jumping between her and the ceiling, which is normally a one block gap. The player and their scaling damage should normally be able to kill her in as little as 4 stomps.
