[BUG] High Isle boss quest Avarice of the Eldertide won't complete

We picked up this daily boss quest .. killed the bosses and did the other side things and it did not complete the quest. We went back and killed the bosses again, still did not complete.
A different boss two days ago could not even aggro the boss to start the fight. Not impressed to be honest.

Picture is of the 2 dead theurges we killed that should have competed the quest.

    Same bug. I know I killed the bosses because I solo'd the fight.
    and then the parrot said, "must be the water mines green too."

    Same problem, this boss remains bugged. Killed them twice now and no credit. I even soloed them, still no credit.

    I found a solution to get credit for the boss kills. Don't loot the eggs until after you kill the bosses. If you already have, then drop the quest and re-acquire it.

    I got this bug this evening too. Joined in part way through the boss fight, helped kill ONE of the two bosses, then looted the secondary objectives. Noticed that I did not have credit for the boss kill (I did enough damage to get loot, that was not an issue). Waited for boss to respawn. Killed both. No credit. Dropped quest and got a reshare. Then boss just simply failed to respawn.... sigh

    That was my feeling as well as I never had issue this way... but I haven't been able to complete this daily for a few days (and yes, I dropped the quest) doesn't matter which boss dies first, doesn't matter if I pick the geodes last or first.

    Any intention to fix your game, ZOS? Or are you happy with the broken state of your new content?

    Another player mentioned that the order of killing the two matters. Female first, or it will not complete. Of course, this was said after we did it wrong, and then they would not respawn to let us confirm the theory.

    Anyone else support that? I went back today and the right order worked. Not proof, but theory stands.

    Same for me. Killed it and won’t register. It’s also taking a looong time for this boss to spawn now too.

    I was able to get credit for this today on the first try, but that is not a guarantee it’s fixed of course. It did take 3 tries last time, though.

    Yes, it's still bugged; there's been numerous threads about it already, I was hoping it'd be addressed in this week's maintenance but no word from ZOS... kinda crazy it's still broken.

    Was just coming here to post about this. This quest has been broken for me and my girlfriend twice now. Just did the fight killed the boss, and no credit. Was just her and I here. We did pick up a geode first before starting combat. We are also grouped. Not sure if that information helps.

    Bugged for me today. I'm waiting for the wb to spawn a second time to see if picking up the geodes after the wb is down will help. I won't loot until after and will fight the woman first.

    Nope, That doesn't work either, just beat them with another player and our companions and then I collected the eggs, and no credit. :(

    This boss and the daily quest are still bugged. They take aaaaaages to spawn, and then when you do kill them you can't progress your quest. I'd hoped that it would be fixed the update everyone has been talking about. Apparently not.

    As mentioned in another thread, they have to die when the AoE circle is not active to get credit for the quest.

    Yay for a fix! Could you take a look at the secondary objectives in "Unmaker's Hoard" and "Wildhorn's Wrath" while you're looking into these?

    Yeah, done this multiple times with no completion. I just gave up on ever doing boss quests in High Isle, they're not worth the trouble.

    its either a continuing mechanic from the boss(es) that didn't complete properly, or picking up the side quests first that breaks the journal entry into not completing.
