Behemoth Gate 1 Boss Guide

Gate 1 Gate 2

Welcome to the Behemoth Gate 1 guide. Unlike with many other raids, you will have 8 revive tokens in case you make mistakes.

Thank you to ATK for providing the video footage, make sure to check out his video guide below!

If you don't get hit, you will receive a damage buff over time. It works just like Hanumatan.

Gathering all 45 stacks grants you additional attack power.

Getting hit by an attack will inflict debuffs based on the element, you can tell your state by looking at the icon above your head.

Water (Not cleansable):

• Behemoth receives focus stacks
  • These affect the chance of him casting special attacks, often lightning.

Lightning (Not cleansable):

• If you have the water debuff, it will turn into surge debuff.
  • Inflicts DOT damage. Does not kill you.
  • You take 40% more damage.
• Behemoth receives focus stacks

Wind (Cleansable):

• Extends duration of other debuffs.
• You cannot gain Damage Buff stacks in this state.
• Make sure to cleanse.

Weak Spots appear in the form of a ring progress bar that is initially filled blue, damage this area to destroy the body part.

You will have a widget with Behemoth's body parts on your screen:

• Yellow body part: has a Weak Spot.
• Red body part: indicates a body part is destroyed.

Head

Once destroyed, the head won't recover during the fight.

Destroyed Effect:

• Deal increased damage to the head when a Weak Spot spawns.

Tail

Once destroyed, the tail won't recover during the fight.

Destroyed Effect:

• Removes electricity part of damage modifier for Gate 2.
• There is little value in destroying the tail, more for achievement-hunting.

Body & Wings

Once destroyed, the wings will recover during the fight.

• When body gets destroyed, the boss gets staggered and spawns a Weak Spot on its wings.
  • Destroying one of the wings increases the duration of the other wing's Weak Spot. Don't split up, destroy one at a time.
  • If wings aren't destroyed, body parts except the head will recover.
• If you destroy both wings, the boss falls and spawns a Weak Spot at its head.

Getting hit by tail attacks inflicts you with a debuff where you take 10% more damage.

This is a time-based mechanic.

8 gray lines will appear from the boss pointing in different directions. He will then launch tornadoes following each line. Each tornado must be taken by one player.

When a tornado is taken there will be an explosion, players nearby will receive a shock debuff:

• Not cleansable.
• 2s duration.
• When shocked, getting a tornado turns this debuff into the confusion debuff.

Confusion debuff:

• Not cleansable.
• 30m duration.
• Take 50% more damage per stack.

1. Assign positions for each tornado.
2. Wait until the tornadoes are near the end of the line to avoid the shock debuff.
3. Take the tornado.

Before starting, decide which party fights which guardian. Parties with Gunlancers should be assigned to Scorpion or Yoho.

There are 4 guardians to defeat, one at a time:

• Scorpion (9 o'clock)
• Yoho (3 o'clock)
• Velganos (7 o'clock)
• Carl (5 o'clock)

Scorpion will always be the first guardian. The following guardians will appear in a random order:

• Their location will be shown on the map.
• Who the boss is will be shown in the dialogue.

If the NPC dies from the fight it will cause a wipe. Make sure you're quick to get into the Guardian fights and to kill them quickly, pay attention to the dialogue and map.

Battle Items:

He will reflect attacks with lightning stuns if you hit him. This is removed if you destroy his tail after countering.

1. Either:
   • Don't attack.
   • Use Gunlancer ult to avoid stun and DPS as normal.
2. Counter.
3. Destroy his tail.

Battle Items:

Will do a stagger check and spawn tornados that root.

1. Either:
   • Pre-use near the boss so you can DPS and be freed when a tornado hits and roots you.
   • Use Gunlancer ult to avoid root.
2. Stagger.

He has a damage reduction buff which gets weakened when the black orbs are destroyed. This is not required depending on the party's damage.

He has the same pizza and sacrifice mechanics as the Velganos Guardian Raid.

Pizza

Velganos will jump and wind will appear flowing in a direction (clockwise or anti-clockwise), this will be the direction of the pizza safe spots.

The first safe pizza is always behind him.

Sacrifice

This mechanic happens very fast, be careful

Light orb will appear above you, and a light area will appear in front of Velganos.

If your orb turns black, you must immediately go into the light area to get bitten by Velganos.

After all guardians are defeated, Behemoth will fly away. He will then dash twice, indicated by a red telegraph, performing a co-op counter on his second dash.

If he is not co-op countered, it will result in a wipe.

The first dash shows you where the boss will be for the second dash.
