Episode 3 of Overlord Season 2 focuses on the battle of the Lizardmen against Cocytus' army and highlights the intricate history built up in the preceding episodes.

The episode begins with Zaryusu, a main character among the Lizardmen, forging an alliance with Zenberu after a duel and building trust and camaraderie. This alliance, along with the support of Crusch and Zaryusu's brother from the Green Claw tribe, leads to a strategic meeting of the tribal leaders. Although outnumbered, they carefully devise a plan to confront Cocytus' forces, demonstrating their determination and tactical acumen.

Meanwhile, the narrative briefly shifts to Nazarick, where Ainz Ooal Gown observes the unfolding events alongside his guardians. Ainz's restrained presence and Cocytus' consultation with Demiurge hint at a deeper strategy, adding an extra layer of intrigue to the Lizardmen's struggle.

The episode then immerses viewers in the intense battle between the Lizardmen and the undead army. The Lizardmen's magical units showcase their abilities, effectively holding their ground against the undead onslaught. Cocytus analyzes the battlefield and seeks Demiurge's counsel, suggesting that Ainz intends to challenge Cocytus' leadership and decision-making.

In a climactic moment, Zaryusu leads an elite squad, including Crusch and Zenberu, directly against the enemy leader, the Elder Lich Iguva. The battle is fierce, and Zaryusu briefly succumbs to a fear spell but is revived thanks to Crusch's timely intervention. The synergy between Zaryusu and Crusch, both in combat strategy and emotional support, is a highlight of the episode.

The decisive confrontation with Iguva showcases Zaryusu's tactical ingenuity, as he uses an ice attack not to harm the Lich (who is immune to ice) but as a distraction for a surprise aerial assault. The victory over Iguva is a triumphant moment for the Lizardmen, achieved through unity, bravery, and strategic planning.

Cocytus' acknowledgment of the Lizardmen's victory marks a win for the underdogs who stood their ground against overwhelming odds. The episode ends with a sense of accomplishment for the Lizardmen, who not only survived but also strengthened their unity and resolve.
