The Phenomenon

The warriors depart to tell the twin deities they have a mutual foe to face. It seems even fated enemies find common ground amidst this world’s plight.
Challenging Bahamut
Cost: 1 memoria Type: battle (Boss)
Available champions: Noctis, Garland, Cecil, Warrior of LightOpponents: BahamutLocation: Proving GroundsReward: 2 Treasures
The summons will submit only to those who have proven themselves worthy. Bring this beast to heel by exhibiting your utmost courage.
The king of monsters has an unmatched offense and can target allies from anywhere. Beware of Comet Tail, which is not just a charging attack but also a delayed projectile from above. Although Bahamut’s range is supreme, he declines to attack physically unless he’s charging with Comet Tail or stomping with Roost, so it’s safer than usual to aggressively engage him at double- or triple-jump height. Just stay well up off the ground to avoid the impact of Roost, or be ready to guard if necessary. This changes once he’s enraged at under half remaining health, since his HP attacks become absurdly strong. Concentrate on avoiding incoming beams first and attacking second.
Strictly speaking, the available roster does not feature a marksman, but Garland can use Thundaga and Flare and act as a mid-range caster. Be sure to throw out Flares whenever your allies are targeted by Megaflare. They will usually get hit by it, depleting Bahamut’s Bravery momentarily and leaving him open for an easy break. Capitalize on this to gain huge swings in Bravery. Garland has the added bonus of being a vanguard, and so he requires fewer attacks to take Bahamut out of the skies.
When Bahamut casts Regal Airs, that is your breathing room—your best opportunity for a free action, whether it is to reposition or to score some Bravery damage.
