Humbaba (Final Fantasy XIII)

Humbaba is a mark and regular enemy in Final Fantasy XIII. It appears in Missions 50 and 58. It is related to the Behemoth enemy, being merely a more powerful version of the other members of its type. Like some of the other powerful Behemoths, it has the ability to switch from four legs to two at some point in battle, fulling healing itself, along with allowing it to do much more damage. Its chain gauge does not drop, however, and it is often easy to Stagger it soon after its transformation, making the battle much easier.

Strategy
For a 5-star attempt, enter the fight with Lightning as your party lead, using a Fortisol beforehand never hurts. Begin the battle with Espionage and debuff him with at least Imperil, Deshell, and Deprotect. Switch to Tri-disaster and begin putting the hurt down, after about one wave of assault he should be pretty low, use Army of One to push him down and stop him from transforming. The rest of the party should be able to finish him off after this without any troubles. A clear time of 36 seconds will yield a 5-star rating with the gold watch equipped.

Etymology
Humbaba is a monstrous giant of Mesopotamian mythology. He was slain by the legendary Sumerian hero Gilgamesh with the help of Enkidu.
