It's marked black on the map. I tried completing this delve for at least 2 times, I killed Diabolist Vethisa, but the game never said "Completed". The delve remains black on the map too.

    To clear this dungeon and mark it as complete, you need to kill the following bosses:
    Serrin Vol
    Diabolist Vethisa
    Blighttooth


    From the Wiki. So you're missing two other bosses.

    ^ Thanks Calysis. I'm like 99% sure that I killed all enemies there and never spotted Serrin & Blighttooth. I might be wrong though. Will check it out again today.

    Some of the bosses in those Cyrodiil delves have crazy respawn timers, and thus are easy to miss. If you are playing on PC, an addon like Destinations, which can show the location of each boss on your map, can come in very handy. The Achievement tab in your journal also lists the names, and how many bosses there are in each delve. Similar to the Public Dungeons in the PvE zones, most of the delves in Cyrodiil have more than one boss.

    Thanks everyone for trying to help, but alas, with extensive further testing I'm 100% positive that:

    - No other bosses except Diabolist Vethisa spawn - ever!
    - Cannot be completed. (*)

    * possibly because other 2 bosses don't show.

    Hopefully Beth/Zeni will do something to fix it.

    If this is the delve I think, be prepared for a long spell circling. Only one boss spawns at a time. Which boss is random. You have to kill whichever boss spawns before another boss spawns. This may require killing a boss multiple times before the one you need finally spawns. One boss spawns in a corner by cages. The next spawns in the skyshard area. The last spawns in the opposite corner from the first boss. All you can do is keep circling, kill bosses as they spawn, and hope to get lucky. RNG can be tough :s .

    Thanks for the tip, but that didn't work when I waited few months ago. I think I made 3 full circles. Only Diabolist Vethisa spawned for me consistently.

    Even if that worked, it's not normal. All bosses should be there. None should repeat killing the same boss in the hope of others appearing.

    It may not be fun, but it IS normal, at least in the sense that that is the boss spawn mechanic for that delve. 3 circuits. is not enough. You might need to do a hundred or more. It sucks, but that's what it takes to complete the delve.

    edit: just so you know, I've completed this delve on multiple alts.

    A few hundred or more? Are you kidding me? :) I really wonder what ZOS have to say about this, really. I've been in many delves and dungeons, but never ever saw these kind of "mechanics".

    It doesn't make any common sense. If there are three bosses, all three should be there. Period. It's totally not logical to keep killing the same boss, running in circles and hope for others to "arrive"!

    I trust you completed this in the current state, but this delve has issues. And in my view, it's a bug, a major one that is.

    This is by design and has been that way since launch. They do it to prevent "camping" bosses. You need to keep moving and cannot stay in one place all the time. It would be nice if bosses were on a rotation and killing boss X made boss Y spawn and killing boss Y made boss Z spawn. But killing boss X might just make boss X respawn in a couple minutes. You never know. It is random. Everyone seems to have that one Cyrodiil delve where they just can't seem to get the bosses they need to spawn. I remembering taking all night to clear one delve and my friend cleared it in like 10 minutes. And there were delves I cleared with ease that took him running in circles forever.

    Okay, thanks! I just completed it using your tips guys. The good thing is, the game did remember I killed Vethisa before. So I got other two bosses spawning one by one. At least the player does not need to kill them all at once.

    bosses in cyrodiil delves do spawn, its just really slow. I've had to spend several hours in pothole before to get the boss I needed to appear.
    BTW several delves have multiple bosses there.
