These are the same fights as earlier, mechanically, just with adjusted stats. It's pretty easy to just RW OSB two of them and then curb stomp the other with your full set of abilities.

Commentary

Behemoth always uses its AOE Attack on its first turn, Meteor Counterstance on its second turn, and a normal single target Attack on its third turn (unless you drop it below 71% HP before that point). Behemoth uses Revenge Blast on its first turn in Weak and Very Weak phases and every 4 turns thereafter.

The key to this fight is avoiding Counter Meteor. This is slightly trickier for people who don't read Japanese since it's a little harder to tell when Behemoth enters its Counterstance, but there are signs. First, Counterstance is announced at the top of the screen like any other named attack, but it deals no damage and has no animation, which is a giveaway. Meteor Counterstance lasts for 2 turns once entered, and while in Meteor Counterstance, Behemoth's aura becomes more fiery (brighter/bigger). After the Behemoth's second turn after entering Meteor Counterstance, everyone's ATB will freeze where it is for a good second or so (on speed 1). This is your sign that it's relatively safe to begin using counterable attacks again, although there's no limit to how frequently Meteor Counterstance can be used, so be cautious especially in Weak/Very Weak phases.

Outside of Counter Meteor, all of Behemoth's damage is physical, so definitely lean that way in your preparations. If you can, bring a Summoner or two with decently honed 4 star summons and some magic boosts; summon spells are immune to most counters, including Counter Meteor. This also goes for Alphinaud's and Rydia's burst attacks. Alternately, you can try Retaliate Meta or bouncing spells off of a Reflect. This will let you DPS safely regardless of whether Counterstance is active or not. Similarly, you may want to bring dances instead of breaks for this fight so that you can maintain Behemoth's debuffs while it's waiting to throw giant meatballs at you.

Total medals = 18, meaning you can only afford to lose 3 medals to get Mastery.

Commentary

Odin uses Gungnir on his first turn (so be prepared with a Protectga!) and Attack on his next two turns. He uses 凶 Zantetsuken on his 6th turn in Default phase and every 5 turns thereafter. Odin uses Regen on his first turn in Weak phase, 凶 Gungnir on his second turn (and every 5 turns after), and 凶 Zantetsuken on his third turn (and every 5 turns after). Odin uses 凶 Zantetsuken on his second turn in Very Weak phase and every 3 turns after.

This is actually a very unusual Odin fight since, when he isn't hitting you with AOE physical damage, he's actually mostly casting spells at you. If we ignore the every-three-turns Zantetsuken in Very Weak phase he'd spend literally three quarters of his turns casting spells. So, be sure to bring mixed mitigation to this one -- and note, Banish is white magic so Magic Breakdown won't work on it. If you bring a physical team, you're going to want to load up with Odin's AOE Dark spell in mind, whether that means Ultra Cure, blind resistance accessories, Lifesiphon, or whatever other means you have to avoid being crippled by it. Aside from those notes, this is a pretty straightforward and simple fight, and Odin has an easily-exploitable weakness to thunder damage.

Commentary

Behemoth cannot enter Meteor Counterstance until its 4th turn. Meteor Counterstance lasts for 3 turns once activated.

This is essentially the same Behemoth as from the second stage, just with higher stats. The d50 and d80 versions can be easily RW OSB'd to death; the d120 version is a little harder to do that to unless you can find a high level Lann OSB. For him, I recommend paying attention to his Counterstance so as not to trigger Meteors and then just focusing on physical mitigation. As with the 凶 Behemoth, uncounterable attacks (Dances instead of Breakdowns, SBs, Summons, Reltaliate, and Reflected spells) also help a lot in making the fight safer and more predictable.

Just some info i heard to confirm the OP

1) You can get most of tem stuff in the shop by running the event once
2) Like it says here Behemoth only have Easy Normal Hard (no U+ and Apoc)
3) All the dungeons are released same day

U+ lost 1 medal on damage taken, Meteor Counterstance is mean if you miss timing even hit him once, lol. Can't zerg through that shit. Need to time your attacks like Rubicante.

U++ lost 1 medal for damage taken and 1 for characters KO'd because Agrias/Ramza died near the end. I opted for Asylum RW over Wall since he opens with Ultimate Gungnir. That move can suck it, lol. Oh, and Holy hits pretty hard too... that fight is just the opposite. gotta zerg him down and outlast him before he can overwhelm you with damage.

Already wiped twice. I love how it tells you when he's in meteor counterstance but if you are not paying attention you'll miss the color change showing he's in assault stance.
