Guild Wars 2

Is the Shadow Behemoth in Devona’s Rest broken? I have been playing GW2 for a while now and have had multiple people watching for me, but i have not seen nor heard of the SB events starting at all. It has been a month or so now, as it is preventing further achievement points being rendered unto myself for said event. If it is broken is there any sign of a patch or reset? And are dragon resets possible with your current programming developments?

from what I got from these other threads, if you see an immobile Pack Bull on the road outside the Monastery, the Shadow Bohemoth is very likely to be bugged. Come back to swamp immediately when server resets for best chance of it happening that day.

It’s broken, yes. Shadow Behemoth only starts once, and only in its first starting window after a server reset.

I would really like a Dev reply. No offense but a lot of people usually have everything wrong on the internet. Id rather get the answer from the source. But if that is the case and its a one time spawn deal with server resets that’s not right. I think it should re-spawn as fast as an average Queensdale completion takes.

Well you’re not going to get a Dev reply here, that’s for sure.

Dev’s are not going to reply indeed. The reason is that the spawning trigger for (the events leading up to) the shadow behemoth are a secret for a long time. I am however disagreeing with the comunity who is blaming just the poor old bull. I have tried to find the trigger myself for too many hours without success. The bull is something new very recently. It might be the cause why he is not spawning as often as he did, but the main problem is that we dont even know why he spawns in the first place (and believe me, I checked every source there was from the twilight story, to the timed, one to the start this mini-event to all combinations off those).

As for changing his respawn trigger, I do agree with you. it should be changed, or they should take him out of the achievements.

I appreciate all the help and i know no Dev is going to reply now that a moderator moved it to this forum tree.
