Myself and every player willing to communicate in the area seemed to have the same problem.
When killing the boss, the quest does not provide credit and entering and exiting the area does not seem to trigger the quest at all. It does show on the world map but when entering that part of the zone it never pops up the trigger for starting the WQ.
I tried to trigger the quest on multiple characters and nothing I did would activate it when moving near the boss.
I have also noticed, possibly related, that the internal quest tracking thinks I have killed the world boss Mortanis despite that boss not being active this week.

I have the same issue. Tried to jump in on a horde kill but did not get credit. Did all the stuff you mentioned with no success. Glad it’s not just me. Maybe they’ll fix it after next maintenance.
Ya I just tried to do this on my Shaman cause the allies were pulling. I was not in a grp and even though I lived through the fight I did not get rewards!! Mage could not hit it in or out of grp and did not complete at all. Monk died during fight in grp and it did not count at all. I had to get in another and try again, this time I did not die and it did complete. So frustrating!!! Just tried to kill boss on Pally out of grp and it happened again! Also did not offer grp up button on log either. ok it is now 7:52pm est and I killed on pally in grp STILL DID NOT COMPLETE!!! My favorite thing is we pay for this.
Completed it 3 times on my hunter and it didn’t complete…

Still not fixed. I think a work around might be is to be there when the boss re spawns . Am waiting on that now.

The quest showed up while I was waiting. I gotta say I a few alts that have done this today and this boss seems a lot harder as well as hard to grp for. oh well…

three kills, no credit, hung around for respawn and WQ popped up, joined a raid with group finder, killed again and finally got credit.
I am having the same issues as well having killed him 6 times now-the timer that appears for the world quests does not show up on this world boss like it does any other boss indicating the time left to kill the boss, wondering if that may be related to the issue.

Same issue. As a solo and in a raid - no credit…
Same issue. Did a few kills, no WQ completion.

What’s worked for me is logging out while in the area and then logging back in.
Same here. 2 Kills on Oranomonos the Everbranching at about 10:30 pm CST 6/1/22. No WQ completion. Will try again tomorrow…
I am having the exact same issue on my hunter. I can do it and complete it on my other toons but my Hunter has done it 3-4 times now and I CAN’T COMPLETE IT! HALP!!!
Thank you for linking that.
Good to know they acknowledged the issue. Hopefully it gets resolved quickly.
I tried this. The first time I killed, I joined a group where Oranomonos was already spawned. Did not get credit.
Scoured the internets for info after several people in zone said they had the same issue. Saw your comment, and waited for him to respawn. He respawned. I joined another group and was switched to their shard – they were still waiting for him to spawn. A few people mentioned they didn’t get credit the first time around.
We killed the sentient tree, and we --well, I know I did-- finally got credit for the kill.
So… waiting for him to respawn may be the best thing we’ve got until they fix this.
Edit: Aaaaand then 5 minutes later, after hearthing to my Covenant hall, I got DC-ed. Methinks they knew there were still issues, but having re-extended the maintenance twice already, they didn’t want to do it again, so they just released it anyway? Idk anything about coding though, so I can’t say anything other than what it looks like to me. =\
Edit 2: I was AFK for a while, and when I came back (still in/near my Covenant hall), I noticed the World Quest re-appeared, and as “incomplete”, at that. This is after killing Oranomonos and I watched as the same World Quest text in the list on the side of the screen switched from “0/1 Oranomonos slain” to it completing and removing itself from the list. Since it gave me credit, it has removed the credit. I don’t even know if I got the anima reward the second time I killed him, when the game initially gave me credit for the World Quest – but I was pretty sure I did. Unfortunately, I had already deposited my anima by the time I noticed this zombie World Quest has returned to haunt me.
TL;DR: The “wait for it to respawn and then kill it” thing worked, until it didn’t work.
So the work around I found is to not make a raid group. Do it as a 5 man, when you make a raid group I noticed I gained the Fated Raid buff and the skull for the world quest went away. after leaving the group and maing my own 5 man group the skull returned and the fated raid buff went away.
