Hello, I was doing some pestilence runs without any problem, until I went to kill the boss, but it didn’t spawn, only the icon.
I tried waiting until the zone reset, but still no boss. Also tried using an effigy, but it didn’t let me.
Does someone knows what else could I try? or is my world doomed?
You can reset Pestilence zones by talking to the plate headed guy in the Crucible, that’s the only thing I can think of.
Did you try logging out of your game and logging back in?
Yes, already tried closing the game, also changing the difficulty, but nothing.
I didn’t know you could reset it, you mean the guy from the 5th floor? I’m going to try that,
Yep, the guy from the 5th floor! He has an option to “Cleanse Pestilence,” now that won’t get the boss to load, but it will reset the zone back to normal and let you do Pestilence somewhere else.
Seems like it worked, unfortunately it doesn’t count as being completed, so I have to wait 1h 30min to see if the bosses in other areas spawn. Thanks for the help 
that happens in this area in mariner’s keep if you also are in the middle of the chef quest when you spawn pestilence boss and won’t work until you finish the quest and rejoin zone. is that applicable to you ?
Oh, so that was the reason. I accepted the quest yesterday to get the key, and the bug happened after that.
Gotta do the quest then.
I will escalate this nonetheless, thank you for bringing this to our attention!

Bosses don’t spawn at the same location every time. Check the map, there should be a skull where the boss is.
yes, the point is it did not transition from pestilence spread to boss summoned. When the boss is summoned there is a skull pointing to their location, but it has to actually summon it.
Restarting the server caused the boss to summon.
I want to highlight, that the bar looks empty. What I think might be a cause is that as much as all the enemies outside int he shallows are dead and teh bar looks empty, its possible that 1% of the bar remains and since the brine vault is considered not an independent instance but in fact part of the shallows there are enough enemies in there to kill to then summon the boss. this is really confusing, but pretty sure that is what caused what I posted.
