King Behemoth Special Attacks

Historical Information

The Behemoth first appears in the Book of Job, 40: 15-24, being described as a massive herbivorous creature that lives in swamps, with a tail that moves like a cedar tree and bones as hard as iron and brass. Several contemporary animals have been believed to have been the basis of the Behemoth legend, including the ox, the elephant, and the hippopotamus, though none fit the description perfectly.

It is said in Hebrew legend that, after the end of the world, the Behemoth will engage in a battle with the Leviathan and will kill one another. In alternate tellings of this legend, the Behemoth and the Leviathan will fight eachother, only to both be struck down by God.

funniest thing that happend to me....

Alright, i was doing BLM AF2, boots, my PT was Comming from Crawlers' nest, but my first person in my PT decided to go to the Domain, so i thought i would tag along when we get there we saw the King Behemoth dystroying eveything and i thought hah, serves them right, King Behemoth = God... so i wanted to poke it, it seemed that he he had a Magic Spell Metoer, i thought MUHAHAHA im sure hes casting it on someone else, of course its a AOE, and BOOM my taru head burst into 10,000 peices... i got raised, King Behemoth was almost dead but yet the Allience gave up... though he was disengaged, and i was along, so second i got raised, SWAT my taru head that was rebuilt was distroyed again, i said ***** it, then went to HP

LOL, I was talking in my LS today, and a friend of mine mentions the uber thf on my server. i do a /sea on him to find out that hes in Behemoth's Dominion right then. i start out there. and apon entering the main opening i find about 10 high lvl players. im like "umm whats going on?"

I look around for a second and see a flock of high lvls going in a direction. i goto look and i find nothing other than the King Behemoth. im like wow. i run around looking for the thf. i find him take a few picks ok. i go up to the King Behemoth and take more pics. then i decided to stay very far away because i was using my lvl 61 thf and didnt want to die. i stand by just faw away enough to see the battle.
...
...all of a sudden i watch my HP hit 0. looks like i got hit wroth 1100 dmg from his AoE, i was like "oww, stupid meteor..."
all in all King Behemoth dies and i lay on the ground waiting for my raise 3....first 1 min goes by, then 5, then 10, then 20....all in all its about 20 mins till i zone to HP, i decide i needed to ****. i go up do my buisness. finnaly o come down and relize ive been raise. only after i accepted i relized it was a pld that raised me and i dont think pld get raise 3 -.- good thing i only lost like 500-1000 exp and i got some nice pics from it all =)

It teleport-walks and can pull people in so it can attack them. Also, if it would kill you with a strike, it will do so by spinning and striking with its tail so it can teleport-walk to its next victim faster.
Wow...

I've seen people fighting it, you can't really tank it straight out. First, you need a LOT of -% physical damage eq. Earth staff, Jelly ring, etc. The PLD I saw tanking it was a 75 Galka named Sushibar and had a lot of that kind of stuff. He trained it around to avoid Meteors when it stopped to cast it. King Behemoth was hitting Sushibar for 150 damage average, and hitting others for 250-350 depending on the class. There were a LOT of WHMs healing Sushibar and raising the people who got hit by Meteor. As for the rest of the alliance, BLMs and RNGs were standing around shooting it, melees would run in, unleash Spirits Within, then go kill other mobs for TP. Took them like 2 hours to beat it, I didn't stay for the whole time because I got a pt invite, but a few of my LS members watched while I was gone. That's pretty much it.

Wait it took you 7 months to go from lvl 20 - 30? Do you play like once a week?
RE: 10 levels?

I think he means 20 WAR (or any other basic job) to level 30 DRG....but I have played like 7 or 8 months myself and am a 54 DRG, and a bunch of other jobs at like 10. So thats still a long time....

i would like to tell you a story of Snowfoxx (me) i was lvl 20 and i wanted a pic of the KING himself. so i go and i have 2 stacks of slient oils and 2 stacks of prism powder to make it to him. i got thru with 4 of one stack and a whole nother stack both left and was using them just incase i looked over and bats were commin so i use both of the items to hide myself. i waited 2 HR's and i saw a buch of JP comming so i use another powder and prism and waited then they waited at the entrance of the battlefield. About that time the KING poped and instantly tured to me and started casting something i was in total shock on how huge this guy was. and then i get hit (ok remeber i am INV and sound proof) for 1896 damg i looked at log when i HPed and dang thing casted METEOR i think that was an overkill but one day i will return to dethrone him and claim my prize. 7 monthes later i am a lvl 30 DRG and still goin because i am determined to kill this thing. then next KINRIN

Mobs can also detect by smell, I doubt he took along deodorizers, since virtually nothing aggroes by smell (master coeurls in this zone do). Also, if you're resting, mobs can aggro you through a lot, I had a gob one-hit kill me in Yhoator jungle while resting with sneak/invis on. Incidentally I've had Wights in Qufim walk through me when all I had on was sneak, so I'm not sure what the rule is here *shrug* but I bet an HNM like this gets to do whatEVER he feels like, including overkilling randoms who happen across him when it would normally be impossible.

HNMs see through Sneak, Invisible, and Deodorize. Nothing you can do but stay far, far away from them.

Beastmasters can't charm NMs especially HNMs the only thing charm would do would be to stun it.

Bind it, attempting to charm an uncharmable mob (beastman, arcana, undead, NM, HNM) will bind the mob.

This guy is in the 80's easy. Hits very hard and Casts spells like Meteor like thay are going out of style.

It's going to be a sad day when square adds a new mob to this area when the lvl cap raises... And you and I will be there camping this one...

Picture it if a new one in the Chain of Behemoths were added and appeared unexpectedly:

Phraust casts Dia on the Senior Behemoth.
Senior Behemoth Casts Ultima.
Phraust was defeated by the Senior Behemoth.
PlayerX was defeated by the Senior Behemoth.
PlayerY was defeated by the Senior Behemoth.
PlayerZ was defeated by the Senior Behemoth.
PlayerEtc(All 50 campers)... were defeated by the Senior Behemoth.

The whole chat log would be red by that time =D

Yeah I can't wait to be able to Fight it, let alone solo it.

I'll tell you this:

He was being pummled constantly by PLDs NINs THFs and DRKs and they were doing little damage at all the ones that were doing Damage were the Mages. About 1.5k a blast, and not to mention that all the Bio, Poison, Dia, choke, drown, burn, frost, and all the other status ailments that go with em... If all the DOT spells stuck and did 5 DMG every secon for the hour it was wreking havoc, thats 18,000 pts of DMG alone. Every time a mage would cast Fire III or IV, any of the other Highest lvl Magics, it would barely lose a pixel of health. I could easily say this thing has a clean 200,000 - 500,000 Hit points.
Mega Bastardo!

This thing is a Mega Bastardo!

I popped on line and checked my friends list. I noticed one of my buddies was In the Behemoth Dominion... So I asked, are you fighting one, he replied, not yet.

I wandered over there...

We waited about an hour, my other friend came and we screwed around while they sat and spammed provoke/dia.

Then it happened... Spawn, Voke dia, the americans got it, hadn't shown up on the screen yet, I could just imagine everyone's expression when the name materialized in red:

King Behemoth

King Behemoth casts Meteor...
A lot of peope die. and me and my buddy are all that's left... Swat! I take 650 dmg leaving me with about 30 - 40 hp left. RUN!!

Behemoth King casts Meteor...
Phraust takes 1438 points of damage.
Phraust has leveled down to 44...

Ow...

I was tractored and raised.

I used my 2hour, used flee and ran in for some screenshots. I had already lost a level...

I am amazed that this thing moves so fast.

I mean REALLY fast!

Within about a half hour a alliance of high lvls showed up and spanked it. I got my third Raise II for the evening, and called it quits.

I think the screenshots were worth the 2200 exp I lost...

Picture 1

Picture 2

Picture 3

Picture 4

Picture 5

The brightness and contrast were adjusted in photoshop, other than that they are authentic. I had /names armed, but managed to get a couple with it's name as proof

Cheers.

at the end of the US beta they held an event which sent people to various NMs. I got sent to see this one. when my screen loaded all I saw and heard was people dying and losing lvls. Somehow I survived all this and tried to make my way back, died when I saw my first lost soul... I never had so much fun in my entire life lol

Craciant asked earlier how it was possible to have multiple parites of mages. Basically, it's a subbing system. You have a main party, and of course you can have 2 other parties join for an alliance. Those would be your mage parties. When the mages run out of mp, new parties are switched in while the previous parties remain outside and heal. In this way, you can always have a fresh batch of mages at the ready. Takes coordination. Of course, it's not just for mages. Sometimes the melee subs will hunt around the area for easy prey in order to build up their TP.

If you look very closely at a Behemoth, (not a good idea), you will notice the spiky hair at the back of his neck, and, except for the huge horns, he resembles Red XIII from FFVII. Maybe Red XIII got mad, because his species hasn't reappeared yet in any Final Fantasy after VII?

1 down in Cerberus
# Apr 27 2004 at 12:51 PM Rating: Decent
With joint force of JN HNM LS and NA HNM LS, we took down dang thing last night. The fight lasted total of 5 hours. First try, we failed because we had too many going on and off. Second try, somebody decided to call it help... (by accident) TT.
On last try, we had some more enforcements coming in. 5 PLDs in 70-75, with total of about 25 people, we finally brought down the monster in long and arduous fight of 3-4 hours.

After 10th deaths, i just stopped counting. Average death of each person was probably 7 to 8 times. Yes, Meteor is terrifying ability. It 1 shot me for 1706dmg and it can 1 shot many other members for hefty amount of dmg.

The drops were as following
Gils
Hide
Tongue
Horn
Pixie earring
and 1 of abjuration. I don't remember which.

Fire
70 PLD
36 WAR
30 NIN
36 THF
