It has no elemental weaknesses, but has next to no Magic Defense or Defense, making an Overkill easier. Kimahri can learn the Mighty Guard Ronso Rage from a Behemoth.

Strategy[]

Good strategies include Haste on party members and damage reduction measures, including Guard or Sentinel, and summoning an aeon to take the damage. An easy way to defeat it is to inflict it with Zombie, then using a Phoenix Down or the Life spell. Behemoth is one of the few enemies in the game that is immune to Instant Death but can be defeated this way regardless.
