Tracking down Final Fantasy XV's third Timed Quest: Dread Behemoth

Final Fantasy XV‘s next Timed Quest is here, and this time it’s pitting you against a big guy: Dread Behemoth.

Like the previous timed quests, there is a deadline — you’ll need to down these baddies to claim the reward by March 20th, 2017.

You can check out our go in the video below:

Not gonna lie, this guy is pretty tough. Elemental magic will either be absorbed or nullifed by the Dread Behemoth, so you’re going to want to hold off on mixing up spells. In addition to its extremely powerful attacks, it’s also going to cast powerful ice magic that will likely wreck your buddies.

Like with most behemoth-type enemies, you’ll want to stay far away from their front, where most of their attacks come from their horns and claws. It’s not easy as they have a propensity to spin around, but you’ll want to keep at the Dread Behemoth’s flank or rear, keeping a mindful eye on the tail. I used Zwill Crossblades as they’re pretty good at building up the Armiger gauge. Gladio’s Royal Guard ability is a bit useful as you can use it to spring a critical hit with only one meter of the Tech bar.

Your party is going to taking a lot of hits, and they’ll likely be in Danger or KO status most of the fight. If you’re going to use an item like Mega Phoenix, it’s probably wise to do it before you activate Armiger so that you can get the most out of the Armiger Chain finale.

Keep an eye on your position and range, and you should be able to pull through for a sizable reward.

How about you? Be sure to share your strategies in our comments below.
