← All areas in this guide

Located on the Red Moon, the Cave of Bahamut is a short, three-floor dungeon leading to the God of Eidolons. Cecil and his companions must navigate the cavern, defeat powerful behemoths guarding key pathways, and face Bahamut in battle. Overcoming Bahamut proves Rydia's worth, earning her the ultimate summon magic, Bahamut.

Items

0/4

Enemies

Behemoth
Steal / drop Potion

Appears as fixed encounters guarding floor transitions and chests, and counters attacks with powerful physical strikes.

Silver Dragon
Steal / drop Tent

Often encountered in random formations; utilizes physical attacks and can blind party members with Flash.

Bahamut

Boss encounter on floor B3F who counts down from 5 to cast Megaflare, which can be reflected back with Wall/Reflect.

Tips

  • Cast Reflect or Wall on your party members before Bahamut finishes his countdown from 5 to bounce the lethal Megaflare back at him.
  • If Rosa has not learned Wall or Reflect, use Lunar Curtains or White Tusks to grant the Reflect status to party members before the countdown reaches zero.
  • Behemoths relentlessly counter physical attacks and magic; mitigate their damage by having party members use Blink or Defend between turns.
