An extreme ultraviolet light generation apparatus may include: a chamber; a target generation unit configured to output a target to a predetermined region inside the chamber; a focusing optical system configured to concentrate a pulse laser beam to the predetermined region; and a plurality of scattered light detectors each configured to detect scattered light from the target irradiated with the pulse laser beam. The extreme ultraviolet light generation apparatus may further include: an optical path changer configured to change an optical path of the pulse laser beam; and an optical path controller configured to control the optical path changer on a basis of results of detection by the plurality of scattered light detectors.
