Confirmed over a week of every day attempting the dungeon that the final boss never spawns.
Same issue on PC - no boss spawn and killed all the creatures to initiate. Says “Slay the Festering Shambler” but no one shows up.
same here. cant finish renown due to this bug. boss never appear after kill all mobs. fix it ffs. also blizard want more money for expansion when they cant fix a bug known over a year
Blizzard just truly could not care less it seems!
As of the update (hotfix), this remains unfixed. On a side note, I’ve also noticed that the Enemy Horde doesn’t spawn either, which means there’s something wrong with the overall summoning process for any mobs that require this function to work in this dungeon.
Edit: My latest attempt was in Tier IV.
can confirm this. tried dungeon various times. It is bugged since the beginning of season5. All classes are not able to get the aspect in the codex of power. Pretty sad. there are also a lot of other side quests bugged or cause issues in Hawezar region.
i have made screenshots diverting and retracing the steps. Start before the dungeon Hawezar region. entering it quest update get the two pieces(strongboxes) then enter the next part. Quest is saying you have to slay all enemies after this is completed, the festering shambler should appear, but it does not appear and dungeon is fully cleared (out of monsters).
Slayed on the monsters, no dice. Did all the mini-events, no dice. Confirming what everyone already knows, this dungeon is borked.
Agree, The issue still exists!

Dear Blizzard Team,
I’m writing out of sheer frustration after returning to your game following a year-long break, hoping you might have fixed some of the glaring issues that plagued it. Unfortunately, it seems nothing has changed. It’s worse.
After waiting patiently, I returned only to find that I was still being forced to complete uncomfortable and downright impossible content. Specifically, I’m working on unlocking paragon points, but the content I must complete is broken, and the dungeon is impossible to finish. This isn’t just an inconvenience—it’s a major flaw that prevents me and others from progressing.
It’s shocking that you haven’t addressed these fundamental problems after all this time. It feels like you’ve completely disregarded your player base, pushing out content that’s not ready for release. This neglect is unacceptable for a company of your size and reputation.
Honestly, I’m starting to think that you’ll only improve if you’re forced to compete with developers who care about their games. The team behind Path of Exile 2 is looking more appealing every day, and I hope they demolish your standing in the industry. You may wake up and realize you can’t keep treating your players like this.
Your fans deserve better, and I hope someone at Blizzard finally takes this seriously—though I’m not holding my breath.

Still not there
Not spawning, might as well just disable the dungeon and give everyone the aspect.

Ran this dungeon at least 5 times over the past couple of days, still bugged and no known work around. This is very frustrating because i’m trying to get 100% completion 
World tier 4, and having the same issue.
Another hotfix in game (goblins event changed loot) but this still bugged… Live service game Blizzard! this is why you make live service game! to repair it faster than in a month! Small Indie Company?
Still not fixed. This is unbelievable.

I cannot believe how old this post is. This is kind of a big deal blizz. Happening to me today, wanted the aspect and have no way to earn it now.
