Guild Wars 2

Tequatl will only spawn the portals during his second through final phase. Most of the maps that fight him will DPS him down before he can start attacking in those phases, which is why you aren’t seeing portals.

There are two options.

#1: At the end of the first phase, at the very end, he has a chance of spawning portals. You can keep trying and hope for one of those.

#2: Arrive relatively late to the map, and you’ll likely end up in an overflow. These overflows often don’t have the body count to DPS tequatl to death during his vulnerable phase.

It’s easy to miss them. They look like the other portals at first glance. Look for a few (3?) fingers coming out of one and I think there is a swirling animation on the ground.
