List of Contents
The Behemoth King calls the Edge of Reason area in the Feywood its home. It is an Elite Rank VII mark and becomes available right after Fafnir has been defeated. The Behemoth King has a requirement for appearing, where all enemies in the Ice Field of Clearsight should have been cleared, including any respawn. The Giruveganus in the Edge of Reason should also have been defeated.
The Behemoth King has a collection of skills that is able to clear your party in only a few turns. Its physical attacks are nothing to laugh at, but it is mainly fond of using Ardor and Slowga. It is also one of the wyrms that use White Breath, which damages your party and inflicts Stop. It also puts up two palings, one after the other; one makes it immune to physical attacks, while the other makes it immune to Magicks.

The Behemoth King is definitely a tricky customer. If not for its palings of physical and magickal attack immunity, then for its other strengths. There are ways around this, as always. One can consider using a combination of the Genji Gloves + Masamune/Kumbha on the damage dealer; even better if the main tank is a Bushi/Uhlan hybrid.
To keep the Behemoth King in its magick-immune phase, the White Mage can cast Arise on it after it erects its physical attack paling. Wither, Shear, Expose and Addle will be effective here as well if the player already has access to it. If not, consider using accessories which blocks its elemental attacks and use healing potions equal to the level of Curaja.
When it nears the lower end of its HP, a Quickening chain that's strong enough will finish it off.
