Defeat the shadow behemoth is a level 15 group event that occurs in Godslost Swamp during the Secrets in the Swamp meta event in Queensdale. After successfully driving back Underworld creatures by destroying the portals that appeared in the nearby Heartwoods, Eldvin Monastery, Taminn Foothills and in the swamp itself, the Shadow Behemoth world boss emerges into Tyria and must be defeated. During the fight, it will spawn numerous portals around itself, through which various Underworld creatures will arrive.

Walkthrough[edit]
At the beginning of the event, several 
Portals to the Underworld will immediately appear and spawn enemies as the Shadow Behemoth emerges, with a message on screen saying, "Underworld Portals Have Spawned—Destroy all of the portals to continue fighting the Shadow Behemoth." The Shadow Behemoth will start to attack and remain untargetable until all the portals are destroyed. Upon reaching 75%, 50%, and 25% health, it will repeat this, becoming untargetable again and summon five, nine, and thirteen (respectively) of the same Underworld portals around it, showing the message on screen again. Check the minimap and the objective counter to monitor progress.
When the Shadow Behemoth is vulnerable to attacks, it will alternate between two positions: either close to the ground or upright. This makes the use of ranged weapons preferable as melee weapons can't reach it when it is upright.
