Lipsand Tarn (Cyrodiil Delves) - Boss Spawns/Timers

_subjectnamehere_ · July 2014

@ZOS_GinaBruno‌ @ZOS_JessicaFolsom‌

Not sure if you guys noticed or not, and I am also not sure if this post belongs here, but here it goes...

I am trying to earn the delves achievements in Cyrodiil. Inside Lipsand Tarn, there are two bosses. One is Marbita and the other is Gaston Ashham.

I read somewhere on the interwebs (forget where) that bosses in these delves (in Cyrodiil) only spawn one at a time, and it is random. I have killed Marbita 5 times in a row now and continue to run back and forth looking for Gaston. He/she simply will not spawn.

ZOS: is this intended? Are you afraid that people will start to farm these delves in a PvP zone? Personally, this is a huge time-waster for me. I do not agree with the design at all.

Everyone else: am I wrong in my assessment of the mechanics of these delves? Do you agree/disagree with the way they are set up?

Any input is extremely helpful.

I had this problem the other day, spawning gets stuck. The fix however was to go to another campaign (i.e. your guest campaign or home if you are using guest for PvE).

Funny, I've killed Gaston 2 or 3 times now and have relogged a couple times while waiting for Marbita and she hasn't shown. Maybe I'll try to do a guest campaign if she won't show up the next couple tries. Thanks for the suggestion.

Yep...I think it is those quest timers/spawn mechanics I mentioned in my original post. My spawns were stuck on Marbita. Yours must be on Gaston. I don't see why they just don't spawn together. I mean...no one is going to go into Cyrodiil to farm PvE delve bosses, are they?

It just wastes our time. Go in, get the achievement, leave. It's not like they drop good loot or anything...

For me, changing Campain to Guest (it's ported me outta delve to Cyrodil Gates), don't resolve spawn.
So only after 2 Hours of unstoppable farming of mobs and concurrent alliance players I have successfully killed Gaston.
(Honestly that's very funny to kill concurrent players that attack you first when you at mob pack).

Make sure you kill the bone colossusses in the three relevant rooms: where Gaston spawns, where Marbita spawns .... AND where the skyshard is !!!

After you kill the one boss, make sure that bone colosusses spwan !!! then the other boss will spawn.

So you run from one room to another to do that, but it works alright

How do you "make sure that bones colosusses spawn", isn't this just a bug loop. It matters not what you call the non-spawning element, if you can't complete this.

Did you mean that you shouldn't even move room until the bone collosus respawns because my friend and I always find Marbita (no colossus), then skyshard colossus then the final colossus (no Gaston).

Help!?

After you kill a boss
Go from room to room and kill all bone colossusses you see
then the next boss will spawn

I have been visiting Lipsand Tarn several times now, and have never seen Gaston. This spawn mechanic is broken.

I did this and it seemed to work (though can't be sure it wasn't luck with the timer). Thanks

Confirmed, I came in, no bosses killed tons of stuff waited forever, finally read this. Killed 2 colossus I had avoided before boss spawned, killed him.

3 colossus's spawned I killed all of them.. nothing... went around killing things for a while, then another Colossus appeared near the boss I didn't have I dragged him to the alter and killed him there.

The second boss spawned right in front of me
