I killed 1 delve boss and my golden pursuit tracker went from 2/7 to 6/7? Am I missing something?

    That sounds odd. Did that particular boss have adds?

    I had to kill bosses 7 times to get mine.

    I killed three and it counted seven! :D

    Also group dungeon kill 10 bosses was completed on two accounts before even finishing one dungeon!

    It was the boss in Fyrelight Cave in West Weald - no adds!

    Was it the delve boss this thread is talking about from a previous Golden Pursuit?

    https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/669809/golden-pursuits-delve-boss-not-counting-correctly

    I ran Fungal Grotto and it counted as 10 group dungeon bosses. My friend ran it and it counted as 7 for him.

    @ZOS_Kevin Making sure you are aware of this.

    I don't pay a lot of attention to these things, but yeah, I killed one delve boss (Del's Claim) and I had more than one in Golden Pursuits. I came there from the nearby Dolmen. Maybe something in there counted as a delve boss (mistakenly)

    My Delve boss I killed 3 times and it counted as 7 was Portdun Watch in Stormhaven. :)

    Each any individual boss counts often times. So, if there are multiple enemies in a single boss fight, you may end up getting credit for multiple boss kills.

    No only the boss in my fight, single, not even any adds.🙂

    I didn't really pay any attention to it. I just killed until it said I was done.

    I had thought I got the public dungeon bosses done rather quickly!

    My Delve bosses one went up one by one (as I was killing the same boss over and over again for it), but I thought I had just miscounted the public dungeon ones.

    I had both of those, too. I was wondering if it was counting my companion also killing the bosses as me, so it was counting twice?

    Just a thought - maybe some of the tougher non-boss enemies in delves are counting as bosses? I killed an iron atronach (not a boss) last night and it dropped an event coffer. I am unable to test this since I only have one account and the golden pursuit stage is complete.

    Did one delve each on all 8 of my mains yesterday; they each have just 1 of 7 on the GP bar. Wish I had the same kind of thing going on that y'all do!

    Others are reporting that they're camping one boss and it's counting as multiples each time, so it doesn't look like this is it.

    Me and my friend got this pursuit done in a Craglorn delve that had a boss consisting of 3 mobs, but we "only" got counted for 2 at a time. We killed it thrice and were done with the pursuit. Then we went to Fungal Grotto 1, hoping to do it twice for the 10 dungeon bosses pursuit. We both finished it before we could even get to the second last boss... Not complaining but definitely strange. XD

    Don't know about bugged delves, but some delves have 2 bosses, so it's possible that clearing 1 delve might count as 2 bosses for the Golden Pursuit.

    Edit: And I think some delves in Cyrodiil have as many as 3 bosses, IIRC.

    As I have multiple accounts, I have tested these oddities. I think I have figured out what is happening.

    1. Delve bosses count as multiples, if there are multiple players at the boss. It is not how many bosses there are.

    2. Public dungeon bosses count multiple bosses. Deshaan and Alik'r PD counts as 3.

    3. Group dungeon bosses count at each stage boss and if there are any 'dangerous foes' as well. This includes Dreughs, Minotaurs etc. Fungal grotto can complete all 10 required before you reach the first Dreugh boss. (As a side note, killing the low value mudcrabs also contributes immensely to the enemies killed achievement.)

    YMMV

    Oh....

    Well, in my case, your point #1 makes sense. I haven't seen an "empty" delve this event so far. And in fact, while I managed only two delves (out of the eight I would normally have done - *sigh* have to grocery shop SOMETIME I guess!) those two are now at 4 of 7.

    Interesting.

    So, it seems to be counting one per person getting a kill. So 4 people kill one boss and you get counted 4 times.

    I ran fungal grotto alone and it was counting all shielded health enemies as bosses, even the "elite" nameless dreugh.

    I think GP counts any "shielded" mob as the boss. So anything in that instance (Delve/Pub Dungeon/Group Dungeon) that has a diamond at the health bar counts. It even sometimes counts kills from a group mate when you do GP in more ppl.
    But somehow it doesn't bother me at all, considering how sometimes endeavors don't work, so I don't mind it at all and take it as a nice bonus.
