Guild Wars 2

been trying to farm this boss for some time and alot of the time lately he hasnt been spawning. few days ago my sever had him going almost every 3 hours no problem but now he hasnt spawned in almost 8 hours at a time.
anyone know how to trigger this event?

I believe there’s no “active” trigger (that is, a step in in the chain is merely kicked off by the invisible timer).

That said, if you’re trying to farm him, just have a nice guest-hop to another server if he’s really not spawning where you’re at. Cheers!

if theres no active trigger how can he go from spawning every 3 hours to not spawning allmost at all?

There are windows when he CAN spawn. That’s about it.

There are a couple of pre-events leading to the spawning of Behemoth. If the pre-events aren’t done (or not successfully) the Behemoth doesn’t spawn. I think the pre-events are on a timer. If you’re close to the swamp, you’ll know that there’s something going on (pre-event or Behemoth itself) if the status at the top right of your screen says anything else than “The swamp lies dormant”.

TL;DR: you can’t trigger the pre-events, but once they’ve started you CAN trigger the Behemoth.

afaik there are 2 (or maybe 3) events that block its spawn.
- one is champion oakheart
- one is event chain with centauri at monastery, the one that you need to protect ale barrels … and if it fails, to recover them.
— also, as I’ve read somewhere, the follow up event with Brenda, the barrels escort (brew shipment) must be started (IE Brenda must leave the Monastery), but it’s not required to complete it.

They block it since at both locations Behemoth pre-events take place
