Oubliette
From Wikitroid, the Metroid wiki
The Oubliette is the final area in Metroid Prime Hunters. It is found in the Infinity Void, and the only way to get there is to bring all eight Octoliths to the cannon room in Alinos to fire the Alimbic Cannon. It is home to the final boss of the game, Gorea, and is destroyed in both endings. The second ending includes a short scene in which all seven hunters, including Samus, escape Oubliette in their ships.
There is also a multiplayer level by the same name.
[edit] Description
In Alimbic datapacs, the Oubliette is described as a prison built especially for Gorea. In appearance, it looks more like a capital ship than a structure; this may have been necessary to transport it to the Infinity Void after construction, or it may have simply been built according to principles of the very foreign Alimbic aesthetic, like the homely Crash Pillars.
Inside the Oubliette, most of the rooms are larger than would appear necessary, and have a curious overgrown appearance, with large lights in the walls or floor at seemingly random locations. Much of the interior appears to be constructed of dirt or stone.
[edit] Trivia
- Oubliette is actually a French word. It is derived from the French verb oublier, which means "to forget." Oubliette translates roughly to "forget hole" or "memory hole," a term coined in the novel 1984 to describe the systematic destruction and control of data and information available to the public.
- An oubliette was also a type of dungeon from which escape was impossible without outside help.
