A Walking disaster Quest

In the chapter of Elsweyr there is a quest called 'A Walking nightmare' you placed the urns then you kill Zalsheem. I have killed him at least 6 times with others, yet the quest is still not complete any ideas.

    Try dropping the quest and picking it back up again. One of these quests is intermittently bugged and I think this is it. It usually sorts the second or third time around
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    I had read about others having trouble with A Walking Nightmare, but I personally saw it yesterday while not on the quest. I was just passing through and fought Zalsheem while not on the quest, and it did not register as having completed that world boss.

    Not only I've had the same problem as the OP, but that WB spawns and de-spawns without any interaction from players. I've killed her a few times now and at least twice she'd spawn, I posted on zone chat to get more players to come help, and she de-spawned.

    Is that supposed to happen?

    Queen of the Reef WB in Summerset will occasionally despawn if not in combat, so I assume that this is normal. That is, if a WB is up for 5 minutes or longer without any player interaction, it gets bored and goes away. It will spawn again after 5-10 min though.

    I had the same problem with this WB. I killed it 4 times the first day the expansion was out and didn't get credit for the kill. The key is not dying during the battle. If you do, it doesn't update the achievement. When I fought it again the second day and didn't plant my face right in front of the boss, I survived and got credit.

    This has been happening with all Sommerset world bosses for months now. I just thought it was something they did. Gravild and Indrix in particular seem to go off for a rest. B'Korgen on the other hand seems to be happy enough to stick around and play with his balls.

    the few times I saw it happen it took way less than 5 min. I saw the boss spawn, put a call on chat, people who were close by came in less than a minute and by the time they got there, the boss had de-spawned.

    I didn't die to that boss. I did enough damage that there was loot from it. The game didn't register the kill and I cannot complete the daily because of it.

    For some reason it has worked for me now, I did not do anything different apart from killing him several times over
