4	After beating Hecatoncheires, return to Valkyrie to complete the quest. You will be rewarded with 18000 Macca and 23000 EXP.

How to Beat Hecatoncheires

Use Force Attacks

This might be tricky as Demons that use Force skills are almost always weak to Elec. However, Hecatoncheires only uses its Storm Dracostrike skill when it taps into Magatsuhi so there should be no worry if you strategize around this attack pattern.

Use Lots of Debuffs

Bring along demons with debuff skills such as Sukunda, Tarunda, and Rakunda, as debuffing Hecatoncheires throughout the battle will make this much easier. Likewise, debuffing Hecatoncheires can counter its Sukunda still, making it near impossible for it to land Critical hits.
