Fight the Behemoth like a boss enemy in an MMORPG
What kind of monster is the Behemoth? The Behemoth originally comes from the Final Fantasy franchise. In the MMORPG, the beast is a feared opponent. It has notably long horns and an extremely muscular body.
What is special about the Behemoth? The fight against the monster will play out like in a classic MMORPG. You will have to build and maintain aggro. This means that one player will draw the monster’s attention to themselves.
What should be considered in the fight against him? A defensive build will be important against this monster to maintain aggro. At least one should be in the team. Teamwork will be significant for this fight, as the Behemoth was designed for a group of four players. As a special trick, the Behemoth lets meteors fall from the sky.
More from Final Fantasy: Dragoon Armor and Moogle Set
Dragoons are dragon-slaying warriors: These warriors are known for being closely tied to dragons and even using them as mounts. The armor of the Dragoons resembles a dragon, with many scales and spikes. You can farm such armor through the fight against the Behemoth.
Dragoons also fight with a spear that allows them to launch into the air. Perfect for being implemented as an insect glaive in Monster Hunter World.
What is a Moogle? Moggles are a race in Final Fantasy and are considered the mascots of the franchise. They are recognized by their large pom-pom on their head and usually have bat-like wings. Their exclamation “Kupo” is particularly famous. You will receive such a Moogle as an Alpha set for the Palico from the quest.
Cactuars will wreak havoc in the area
Cactuars are the new Gajalaka: In Final Fantasy, Cactuars are recurring enemies that look quite funny. The cacti are more dangerous than they appear and should definitely not be underestimated. They especially enjoy shooting their spikes at their opponents.
Bug Fixes Ahoy! The update brings a lot of bug fixes
Capcom has focused on detailed bug fixes in this update. A number of specific bugs have been resolved.
Some weapons have been corrected: For instance, regarding the hammer: “A bug has been fixed which caused a Charged Rising Slash to trigger when a Spinning Strong Rising Slash was attempted to be charged and triggered while running down a slope (before starting to slide).” Additionally, bugs for Morph Axe, Energy Blade, Bow, and Slingshot have been fixed.
Bug fixes for effects, abilities, items, and monsters: Even more specific bugs have been addressed. For example, bugs with the capes have been corrected, where the usable time of capes was reduced during animations such as tracking.
You can find the complete patch notes for the update with all bug fixes on the official Monster Hunter World site.
Are you looking forward to the big collaboration and the Behemoth?
