Stats
Battle
In the battle with Behemoth King, the player will always get a preemptive strike, and the two will keep fighting each other until one of them is defeated, at which point the one left turns on the player party. This is why the player should aim to kill the Behemoth King first (as it is stronger of the two) by quickly staggering and launching it, so it will not have time to recover its HP.
Megistotherian itself is not a difficult enemy. It is weak against Fire and takes half damage from magical attacks.
