Are there actually timers for when fates like Behemoth and Odin will pop up or

[jrollins89]

is it frustratingly random, on something ridiculous like a 36-48 hour timer? I'd really like to experience all of the end-game content FFXIV has to offer but not if they take the same dumbass approach they did with HNMs in FFXI. I'm not sitting around in Coerthas for a day just for a chance at experiencing a boss fight.

all i know he appear once every 3 days

once he appear and killed give him 72 hours

and once 72 hours passed since his last appearance he will appear within 24 hours after the 3 days cooldown passed

thats for odin not sure about behemoth

I saw Odin pop twice within 2 days.

[Crimson-Falcon]

I saw Odin pop twice within 2 days.

then they didnt kill it from the last pop

if they didnt kill it there will be no 3 days cooldown

I'm very positive, I was there for both kills. I got bronze and gold.

then i dont know about your server

but thats what happen in cactuar

odin appear once every 72 - 96 hours after the last pop if killed in it

[jrollins89]

Why did they do it in this fashion?

[Evil_Betox]

I've been playing for 2 months and i have yet to see both of them. I also got this feeling that i'll never see their faces, wish i could just fight them in a duty.

[Kuwagami]

I have played since 2.0 day 1.

I've seen odin only twice (both bronze. one because I was late on the party, the second because he poped on me and the time I could come back he was casting zantetsuken..), and behemoth twice as well (bronze because that was in 2.05 and he was flashing in and out so I just got 2 combos on his head and gold like 1 month ago.

However, my world boss LS have timed their appearances, and it seems the respawn in 48 hours, then the spawn happens within a time frame of 24-36 hours. If killed, the timer restars. If Zantetsuken'ed, the timer restarts. If untouched or heavily failed (empty timeframe), he respawns with a 24 hours CD.

for behe, remove the zantetsuken part. I don't know if he has an enrage but never seen anyone who had witnessed it. That beast is melting like hell nowadays

[Shneibel]

Behemoth enrage is the meteor at the last %, it usually strong enough to wipe out weak gear player and can cause the fate to fail back in those day

to the OP above who ask why they do it the old fashion way : the reason is to make the time shift so Eu and US or eastern player can get the chance to kill them

note: I bold the time because it is accurate
