===Battle of Mactan===
A rival of Rajah Humabon from the neighboring island of Cebu, Lapu-Lapu had gained possession of an artifact left behind by the Isu. In April 1521, he used the artifact to lead his men to wage a resistance campaign against the Spanish led by Ferdinand Magellan, who had come seeking the artifact. Lapu-Lapu and his men defeated the Spanish, with the chief personally killing Magellan himself.Assassin's Creed: Forgotten Temple – Episode 41 
===Legacy===
Lapu-Lapu's actions served as a source of inspiration for Rajah, who in the early 18th century formed a resistance group to remove the Spanish colonists that had occupied the Philippines.Assassin's Creed: Forgotten Temple – Episode 52 To further his goals, Rajah searched for a set of three Pieces of Eden, but despite managing to find one of the artifacts – a crescent amulet – the chief and all of his rebels were ultimately defeated and killed.Assassin's Creed: Forgotten Temple – Episode 71
For his resistance to Spanish colonization, Lapu-Lapu is regarded, retroactively, as the first hero in Filipino folklore. During their time in Cebu in 2023, the Korean-American Noa Kim and the Japanese Templar Shimazu Sei visited a golden statue that had been erected in Lapu-Lapu's honor.Assassin's Creed: Forgotten Temple – Episode 43
