    Sad to hear this is still a problem.

    I was planning on queuing up for the new ones plus Red Petal but it would be a huge disappointment to run all the way through them and not be able to turn in the quest. That’s really the only reason I run dungeons, not to farm gear or anything.

    Before you suggest it, I can rarely get guildies to group up with me to run them together.

    If you’re talking about logging out and back in, that is not an option for queueing in the group finder. You’re not going to get randoms to stick around while you do that. You’d need two people to do it.

    Well um, i got randoms to stick around lol , so yeah i guess it all depends on how--and who--you ask.

    Regardless, the BUG should be fixed. (obviously)

    Good for you, but that doesn’t mean it’s not a problem for anyone else.

    As soon as the last boss is dead, everyone instantly leaves group when I queue for a dungeon.

    As others have said this is still happening.

    I have been really lucky and in the two instances it occurred recently I was grouped with patient players that chose to stick around while I relogged but having to rely on the kindness of strangers to complete the quest is not ideal.

    Yes, the same thing happened to me one on of my runs, but the group were nice enough to wait for me to re-port to the instance, and luckily the NPC showed up after that.

    We had just finished the final boss in Dread Cellar and were prompted to speak to the quest NPC, but she failed to appear. The quest arrow/indicator showed where she should be, but she did not turn up.
    Two of us tried going back to the start (through the portal) and coming all the way back through the dungeon to see if that would fix it, but it did not. One player even exited the game and rejoined while I stayed to hold the group, but that also had no effect.

    I'm a random, most of the time, and I have stuck around for a player to relog to turn in. Luckily it worked and the player could turn it in. It's lame that this continues to go unfixed.

    Really crazy that this has been an issue for so long and still no comment from ZOS.

    This quest/dungeon is bugged and needs to be fixed. Surely with all the patches they've been doing, this one could have been fixed.

    Nov 6, 2022 and still happening. Found a locked thread that said issue was solved but nope. Thanks to those who said to teleport to a group member. That worked.

    Thanks for bringing this up again, when this was the pledge a few days ago the quest giver was not there for me.

    My group left immediately after the boss was killed so I will have to wait for the pledge to come around again to do it again. Need the skill point.

    Still broken as of today, about 1.5 years later then the bug thread was started....
  • mrLuckyCat
    Here are a tip that helped me with this bug:

    Do not take the dungeon quest from the dungeon dlc menu.
    Do not pre-grab the quest from the quest giver.
    Do not accept a quest share.

    Only take the quest from the quest giver when you start the dungeon.

    That's how I did it with my alts.
    Maybe I got lucky though.

    If you have the quest in your log, maybe loging out and back in would be a good idea. But i don't remember doing that.

    This happened to someone in a group I was in today.

    I could be mistaken but, my impression is that the bug occurs when a player is pulled into an encounter in progress during the portal phases of the last boss fight.

    Still not fixed

    Thank you for contacting The Elder Scrolls Online Team.

    We are aware of an issue that causes Lucilla and Martus in the quest “Quaking Dread” to not appear after the final boss has been defeated.

    While we work to resolve this issue, here are a few basic quest troubleshooting steps:

    There now follows the usual spiel about reload ui etc.
