Aerorail Trussway 6-W

Learn how to defeat the Beta Behemoth in Final Fantasy XIII. This guide covers its stats, weaknesses, and the best strategy to take it down.

Alright, so you've made it to the Aerorail Trussway 6-W, and guess what? It's time for your first real boss fight! You'll be facing off against a Beta Behemoth, and it's a pretty cool-looking one, though trust me, you haven't seen the half of what these Behemoths can do yet. This fight features Snow, Gadot, and Lebreau, so you've got some backup!

Stats / Weaknesses:

• Level / HP: LV 20 / 1,800 HP
• Strength / Magic: 95 STR / 0 MAG
• Stagger / Chain Res. / CP: 200% / 70 CR / 0 CP
• Vulnerabilities: Lightning (Weak) / Water (Weak)
• Common Drop: Potion x5 (100%)
• Rare Drop: None

Strategy:

• The Beta Behemoth has a few standard attacks: it'll swipe at your party up to four times in a row. Be aware that these swipes can hit multiple characters at once, so try to keep your party spread out a little if you can.
• After its swipes, it'll use a powerful move called Heave. This hits pretty hard, so be ready to heal if needed, though your teammates are pretty well-stocked on Potions for this fight.
• Since your allies have plenty of healing items, you can afford to be a bit more aggressive. Focus your attacks on the Behemoth's weaknesses: Lightning and Water.
• Don't worry too much about your HP during this fight. Gadot and Lebreau are there to help keep you topped up, so focus on dealing damage and taking this beast down.
