The Final Fantasy XIV x Monster Hunter: World crossover event is nearly underway.

Over the weekend, Capcom shared its first good look at the Behemoth quest coming to World on August 1. It’s meant for players at Hunter Rank 16 or higher, and once the update is live, it will “always be available.” You’ll have 35 minutes to finish hunting and hopefully not get blown up by meteors.

The Behemoth hunt begins at the 30:30 mark in the video. It’s more intricate than I was expecting.

There’s a full-on aggro mechanic complete with a visible red line to show which player is being targeted, and Behemoth has some one-hit-knockout nastiness in the form of Ecliptic Meteor. The meteor’s impact is devastating, so you’ll need to quickly seek shelter behind fallen comets to avoid wiping.

On that note, I won’t be mucking around with SOS flares for this one. Not after Kirin.
