Root sunder ruins- Thick Root

fluffylee

Is Thick root just not re-spawning or has he moved in location. I went to where he was supposed to be according to several maps online but can't seem to find him. Any advice? He's the last champion I need to kill.

some of the public dungeons spawn timers is like over an hour.

I know some of them take a long time but I've waited for two and a half hours now and he's a no show. i sent a bug report but I was just curious if he may have moved. I know it's happened before. lol

Thickroot, or Thickbark ? There is Thickbark or Rootbiter only. This one should help you, it is up to date with recent achievements added and locations changes:

Also, about spawn times, I will suggest reading http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/discussion/112441/obscenely-long-public-dungeon-champion-spawn-timers/p1

@CoUsT made some very good points there, and we tested it, may help you with spawn timers.

Public dungeon champions can have spawn times of 1h+ just log off at the place and log in the next day. Maybe you are lucky and he is there. He definitely exists because I killed him before.

@Mortuum, thanks for calling me in this thread.

Exactly, you need to kill all bosses in dungeon over and over, because there is no "boss-timer". In ESO you have "dungeon-timer" and after it happens - one or two bosses randomly spawn and you need to kill them to reset the timer, so other bosses can be spawned.

@fluffylee‌, don't give up, check all boss locations and kill them over and over until boss that you need spawn.

Happy hunting! :P

Yea seen, and tested what you wrote in linked discussion, and as it is not my idea, credit goes to you @CoUsT .
Did like 10 or more full public dungeons today, it is working every time. Only thing is, spawn times are different(doing it with group of people, so we can see difference). Right now as I type it, we are in The Vile Manse, spawning bosses to get achievement for all of us.
Also confirmed, ALL Cyrodiil delves share same exact cool down,and it is 10 minutes from killing boss to respawn of another one. Only thing is, it is totaly random, so with no RNG gods mercy, you may get same boss all over.
@fluffylee I did Root Sunder today too, using this method, just running between bosses, or asking people who also needed kills to camp spawn points. Took us less then 40 minutes to get all kills, simply calling which boss has spawned, then returning to our ''camp positions'''.

Good for you!

Good luck in next dungeons!

In the case of Thick-Root, I have found that he respawns every time the Guardian of Root Sunder is defeated. This would indicate that there is not a specific amount of time that one will have to wait for the respawn, but rather one must wait for someone to trigger the Guardian. It is also worth noting that he is located behind the building where the Guardian of Root Sunder is summoned during the quest.
