① Set It To Your Radial Menu

Radial Menu Jump
When fighting the Behemoth, make sure to have your Jump Emote set to your Radial Menu. This will make jumping the Meteor way easier.

② Set a Good Distance From Yourself to the Meteor

Avoid being too near the meteor when it starts. Try to be on a position where you can see the meteor clearly to make the dodge timing work better.

③ Jump After The Hunter's Animation

After the hunter's short animation in reaction to the Meteor, immediately jump!

Note: The Flinching Animation will not play if Flinch Free is equipped!

The slight flinching animation shown above will not play if the Flinch Free skill is equipped. If you rely on this indicator to dodge Behemoth's Meteor, make sure to remove the skill (and avoid clashing with other hunters).
