This has happened on PC-EU too, we found that any group members affected by it that to fix it was to teleport out of the dungeon and back in again.

For the love of pete! would someone please fix this?! Have four alts in there that cannot get the completion; the stupid NPC just will not spawn. Teleporting out and back in does not work.
Happens in more than just this dungeon. Had it happen in Scalecaller last night on an alt.
A better fix than relogging is to drop group, then go through the portal and come back in (must be in that order I believe). This will trigger the end scene dialogue to restart which will make the quest available, and you should have plenty of time to complete it before the timer runs out.
Just don't accidentally hit the keybind for "leave now."

This also happens on Xbox Series X. Ran the dungeon several times over the past few days, don't think there was a single occasion where both of us could see the mission ending.
Also the end boss, Magma, is sometimes invisible for me. He comes back into sight when he does that rail move.
This is also affecting the achievements “Waking Flame Scout” and “Waking Flame Delver” on Xbox/NA. It’s like the game doesn’t recognize you have finished the dungeon and the achievements don’t pop.
Same issue with Ice reach. Need to speak to Lyris at the very end but she's just not there. Despite the quest indicator showing exactly where she should be. 5 times now I've tried to finish it but can't ever make it back after going through the portal before getting kicked from the instance. No one will ever stick around after the final boss.
happened to me about a week ago but worked yesterday when i did it on pc eu on normal. i thought i missed a talking spot with npc but took ages yesterday doing hidden bosses so know we dint have any where you had to talk to npc. at the end the wall were boss cam e out of was still there and a white arrow to speak with npc but no npc. all the group left instantly after rnd so couldnt relogin out and in and see if it fixed it. i went back to start and back again with portal but still the same
I found this on EU once, it was like they were there but may have fallen into the floor or something because I could see nameplate but not them, either that or they were invisible.
Literally the only dungeons left I need the skill points from but they're virtually impossible to get because they all suffer from this issue. Final quest NPC just isn't the to collect the reward. Shows on the nav bar and you can even hear the speaking but the NPC is either invis, hidden, or just not there. It's to the point I refuse to run these dungeons, even for pledges. I'll wait the 15 minutes to avoid the inevitable aggravation.
Tenesi Faryon of Telvanni - Dunmer Sorceress who deliberately sought sacrifice into Cold Harbor to rescue her beloved.
Hisa Ni Caemaire - Altmer Sorceress, member of the Order Draconis and Adept of the House of Dibella.
Broken Branch Toothmaul - goblin (for my goblin characters, I use either orsimer or bosmer templates) Templar, member of the Order Draconis and persistently unskilled pickpocket
Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.

Order Draconis - well c'mon there has to be some explanation for all those dragon tattoos.
House of Dibella - If you have ever seen or read "Memoirs of a Geisha" that's just the beginning...
Nibenay Valley Chapterhouse - Where now stands only desolate ground and a dolmen there once was a thriving community supporting one of the major chapterhouses of the Order Draconis
