Feral Behemoth Battle

Note Hope's comment "Who'd have thought there would be traps here?" 

Take out the group of crawlers for an easy 5-star battle and then the Specter and crawlers nearby, followed by a group of Specters - you may find that Dualcaster works best for this one.

There are two paths that you can take here but as you plan to wipe out all of the mobs which way you go first does not really matter.  I chose to take out the Feral Behemoth and kitties first, and then loop back around and fight the Feral Behemoth and Crawlers since this is a more challenging battle.  After you win be sure to grab the 8 vials of Fragrant Oil from the Sphere before you loop back around on to the main path!

After you defeat them empty the Treasure Sphere of its contents: a Watchman's Amulet!  As you push further back into the area you will encounter two groups on either side of a barrier - you can access either side, on the left is a Specter and on the right is a Feral Behemoth- so take them out!  After you take out the Behemoth grab the 1500 Gil from the Treasure Sphere there.  Now double back to the area where the path continues.

Before you jump up the purple tree to the upper area and continue on along the path run past it to the left and up the ramp to trigger the next trap.  This one holds a Feral Behemoth and a Specter - Fun!  Your best strategy here to five-star is to concentrate on taking  out the Specter quickly, then switch to Dualcaster and stagger the Behemoth, after which point you will quickly shred it.

Now head up the tree and follow the platform to the lift - use the controls to go up to the Bioweapons Maintenance Platform and hit the save point that is just off of the lift.

There are four puppies for you to slay along the path and then you encounter a team of dead or wounded Sanctum Corps units - not sure which - and we get a CS in which Lightning gives Hope a lesson in how not to care about the fate of others.  Good strategy, err...  Well...  Operation NORA!

Lightning finally says to Hope what we have all been thinking the whole time - Snow did not kill Hope's mother, the Sanctum did, so he should be putting his hate where it belongs!  As this CS wraps up we hear Vanille do her narrative thing, and admit that she has a few of her own secrets that would best be forgotten.  Now I wonder what those might be?
