'''Behemoth''' is the first major boss encountered in '''[[Main Page|Galactic Glitch]]'''. This massive war machine serves as the player's introduction to boss combat mechanics and must be defeated to progress past the prologue.

== Overview ==

The Behemoth is an ancient war machine that guards the first layer of the simulation. It's a large, heavily armored enemy that attacks with powerful charges, slams, and laser sweeps. Defeating the Behemoth grants the player their first '''[[Boss Orbs|Boss Orb]]''' and unlocks access to the next areas.

== Combat ==

=== Attack Patterns ===

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Attack !! Description !! How to Avoid
|-
| '''Charge''' || Behemoth winds up and charges across the arena || Dodge perpendicular to charge direction
|-
| '''Slam''' || Raises arms and slams the ground, creating shockwave || Stay airborne or dodge at impact moment
|-
| '''Laser Sweep''' || Fires a sweeping laser beam across the arena || Position yourself behind cover or at beam origin
|-
| '''Missile Barrage''' || Launches homing missiles || Use [[Grav Gun]] to grab and throw back, or destroy with weapons
|}

=== Phases ===

'''Phase 1 (100% - 66% HP):'''
* Basic attack patterns
* Slower attack speed
* Good time to learn mechanics

'''Phase 2 (66% - 33% HP):'''
* Adds Laser Sweep attack
* Faster attack speed
* More aggressive behavior

'''Phase 3 (33% - 0% HP):'''
* All attacks available
* Missile Barrage becomes more frequent
* Enraged speed increase

=== Weak Points ===

The Behemoth's '''core''' becomes exposed after certain attacks:
* After a Charge (brief window)
* After a Slam (medium window)
* During Missile Barrage (core glows)

Focus fire on the exposed core for maximum damage.

== Strategy ==

=== Recommended Loadout ===
* High DPS weapons like [[Railgun]] or [[Minigun]]
* [[Powers]] that boost damage: [[Glass Cannon]], [[Charged Shot]]
* Dodge-enhancing powers: [[Hurricane]], [[Evasive Fire]]

=== Tips ===
* The arena has debris that can be grabbed with your [[Grav Gun]] - throw it at the boss for extra damage
* Save your dodge for the Charge attack - it's the most dangerous
* During Missile Barrage, you can grab missiles and throw them back for massive damage
* Position near the edges to give yourself room to dodge

== Rewards ==

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Reward !! Amount/Details
|-
| Boss Orb || BO1 (First Boss Orb)
|-
| Credits || ~500
|-
| Unlocks || Access to main game areas, [[New Game Plus]] progress
|}

== Lore ==

The Behemoth is described as an "ancient war machine" - a remnant of conflicts within the simulation. [[Siren]] refers to it as one of the simulation's defense mechanisms, designed to prevent anyone from escaping.

== Trivia ==

* Behemoth is typically the first boss new players encounter
* The name "Behemoth" refers to a mythical beast of enormous size
* Defeating Behemoth without taking damage unlocks an achievement
