What time do world bosses spawn in Guild Wars 2?

World bosses follow a fixed daily UTC schedule that repeats every day. The timer above converts each spawn to your local time and counts down to the next one, so you never have to do the math.

Are the spawn times shown in my local time?

Yes. The schedule is stored in UTC (the same times the game uses) and the timer automatically displays countdowns and clock times in your browser's local timezone.

When does Tequatl the Sunless spawn?

Tequatl spawns at 00:00, 03:00, 07:00, 11:30, 16:00 and 19:00 UTC each day in Sparkfly Fen. It's a hardcore meta boss, so arrive a few minutes early on a populated map.

What's the difference between world bosses and hardcore meta bosses?

Standard world bosses (Shadow Behemoth, The Shatterer, etc.) are quick, open-tag events. Hardcore bosses like Tequatl, Triple Trouble and the Karka Queen need an organised squad and reward bonus chests.
