In the Legend of the Three Feats of Strength, Gadao thought himself worthy of becoming the head chieftain of Guahan.
His second task was breaking a coconut tree into ten pieces with his bare hands, and lastly, Gadao had to level Guahan's highest peak: Mount Lamlam.
However, Gadao's sons mistook a twinkling star for the rising sun and rushed home, leaving a boulder in the reef but the fence unfinished.

But due to the invaders advanced weaponry, Gadao was unable to ward them off and Guahan was conquered.
