Maoh the Giant (マオー・ザ・ジャイアント Maō Za Jaianto) is the boss of the Opening Stage of Mega Man X3. It is a gigantic Mechaniloid[1][2] that was part of Dr. Doppler's army when they attacked the headquarters of the Maverick Hunters.

Strategy[]

Maoh the Giant attacks by punching with the large, spiked iron balls attached to its arms, crushing its enemies and buildings alike. Its only part that can damage the player is its hands, and its only weak point is its head. Unlike the Opening Stage boss in Mega Man X2, Gigantic Mechaniloid CF-0, touching Maoh's head or arms while they are in the background will not damage the player, and its attacks only inflict 1 unit of damage.
