Tips
  • Imps are weak enemies that fall rapidly but can summon reinforcements if left alone.
  • Greater Behemoths have magic damage cut to one tenth, slow Chain Gauge growth, and inflict Pain when upright.
  • Wait for an Imp to perform the Conjure move to summon an Ahriman, then Libra it for enemy intel.
  • The Greater Behemoth is too fat to run past, so you must kill it. Magic damage is not very successful, nor is building the Chain Gauge.
  • Try for a preemptive strike against the Greater Behemoth to make the fight easier.
  • Use a SYN (Synergist) to buff yourself at the start of the Greater Behemoth battle to increase damage and protection, then switch to an aggressive Paradigm to Stagger and chip away at its HP.
  • The Alicanto is a weapon for Hope that increases Strength but stops him from Staggering.
  • Kill the Noctilucale first before focusing on the Greater Behemoth.
