Walkthrough

• After receiving orders to go to Pashhow Marshlands (S), head back to the Shimmering Pondweed at (G-6) for a cutscene.
• You will be told to go to Jugner Forest (S). Head to (F-10) and inspect the Overgrown Mushrooms for a cutscene. You'll find them along the road as you move south and west.
• Next, use the Hatchet given to you on a Logging Point in the area to receive a Temporary Key Item Length of Jugner Ivy. (List of possible locations: Logging Map)
  • It is recommended that you bring along an extra hatchet or two in case the hatchet that you are given breaks.
  • The chance of getting the Length of Jugner Ivy from a logging point is high, but NOT 100%.
  • A full inventory is recommended when logging for the Length of Jugner Ivy, as it allows you to keep using the same logging point until you get the key item.
  • You do NOT need to get the CS from the Overgrown Mushrooms again even if you zone or logout.
• Return to the Overgrown Mushrooms for another cutscene.
• Go to the corner of (F-7)/(G-7)/(F-8)/(G-8) and inspect the Mossy Stump for a cutscene.
• After the cutscene, inspect the Mossy Stump again to enter a battlefield.
  • There is a battlefield time limit of 30 minutes.
  • You may enter with a party of 6 people.
  • Buffs aren't removed upon entry.
  • Experience is lost if you die.
  • Reraise is lost upon being kicked from the battlefield.
  • You must re-obtain the Length of Jugner Ivy if you fail the battlefield.
  • Everyone in the party must possess the Length of Jugner Ivy or have previously completed this quest to enter the battlefield.
• The mission objective of this battlefield is to kill the Young Behemoth.
  • Roughly 14,000HP.
  • Relatively weak hits, 10-30 shielded, 60-90 unshielded on a decently geared paladin
  • Has a strong Additional Effect: Lightning Damage effect on attacks.
    • Quite posibly a non elemental effect or not effected by magic resistance/ magic defense. 90-108 damage per activation with 0 Mdef and thunder resist, and 90-108 Damage per activation with +180 thunder resist & +20 Mdef.
  • Frequently uses Shock Wave (conal attack that goes through shadows and has a mild knockback effect). Does up to 700+ HP damage.
    • Did 918 damage to a Taru DRK, seems to become stronger as the mob loses HP
  • His TP move Howl seems to boost the damage dealt by Shock Wave. As the fight progresses the Young Behemoth will begin spamming Howl. It seems to have a cumulative effect (like stacking Boost) accounting for the increased damage dealt by Shock Wave. Dispel is recommended.
    • Dispelling Howl had no effect on shockwave damage. damage done, although, was related to the number of Howls used between each shockwave.
  • Has somewhat high defense.
  • Has very high evasion. (ACC food for melee a must)
  • Has extremely high accuracy. Can double and triple attack. (Note: A Thief with over 450 evasion from traits, gear and skill was missed once in over 18 attacks, one blink tank is not recommended.)
  • Paladin/Ninja with only +10 evasion skill resulted in a 12% evasion (not utsusemi evades) rate on this mob on parsers, previous reports may be incorrect.
• After you have won the Battlefield report to Rongelouts N Distaud (I-9) in Southern San d'Oria (S), and get your Reward.
