Delve boss respawn time, so random

Is there any reason why some Delve Bosses have quick respawn timers with a few coming back up in under a minute, while others particularly those required of Undaunted daily, have freakishly long respawn timers that can take anywhere from 3-5 minutes?

    Delves bosses usually respawn 4-5m after they were killed, UNLESS there is someone who never kill that boss on that character before come by. This doesn't apply to public dungeon bosses. Public dungeon bosses have fix respawn cooldown around 7m. This also doesn't apply to Cyrodiil delves. Bosses in Cyrodiil delves have fix respawn time around 10m, AND each time only 1 random boss in that delve spawn.

    Okay that explains why my new characters get a faster respawn when encountering the boss locations while I'm out and about sky shard farming. The game is forcing them to spawn earlier just for first time kills, now it makes sense.

    Anyone who enters a certain range of the boss spawn while they have the delve quest will trigger a spawn, regardless of when the boss was last killed.

    Delve bosses have a natural timer of about 5 minutes.

    I've seen a delve boss respawn like 6 times in a row. Wish the loot spawned that fast lol

    Then the quest trigger needs an update, I've sat there for 5 minutes on multiple Undaunted Delve quest targets while a few seem to pop up immediately upon entering the room. I'm doing them across 12 characters a day, sometimes twice if I missed the previous day.

    Delve bosses are on a 5 minute respawn times unless someone enters the boss are that is doing the quest; at which point the boss spawns immediately. Loot however, is still on the original cool down so all you get is gold.

    Some of the Cyro delve bosses - at least when I last did them (probably mid-2016) - were on a timer that was longer than 10 min... I recall posts about them. I really hope they've fixed that so I don't have to wait around up to 30 min, while constantly checking for enemy players.

    different quest; they're referring to the little quest that each delve has attached to it, not the undaunted delve quests.
