Dungeon dwellers in World of Warcraft: Dragonflight have had to contend with a particularly vexing problem. Frustrated users have rushed to the forums to voice their frustrations, but Blizzard has yet to respond. A Territorial Eagle mob from the Crawth encounter trash at Algeth’ar Academy became stuck before flying down into the boss arena, thereby halting the encounter from advancing. With no end in sight to the bird bug, gamers are left wondering how to resolve the problem at Algeth’ar Academy so that they can complete the dungeon.

At World of Warcraft: Dragonflight, why isn’t Crawth spawning in Algeth’ar Academy?

Crawth is a massive bird monster in World of Warcraft: Dragonflight’s Algeth’ar Academy dungeon. Prior to the confrontation, players must defeat two waves of bird enemies. Crawth is intended to fly down when the garbage is defeated, but she occasionally fails to appear. This occurs when one of the Territorial Eagles becomes entangled in the massive pillars that surround the stadium. It is commonly triggered by a Druid’s Adaptive Swarm ability jumping to the mob before it enters the arena, but it can also happen in other scenarios.

Normally, this would fully block the dungeon, making it impossible to complete a Mythic Plus run because the monster must be killed in order to proceed. Players have only identified one technique to repair the problem and force Crawth to spawn in the absence of a response from Blizzard.

How to Fix the World of Warcraft: Dragonflight Crawth Bug

The only definite method to restart the encounter and summon the boss is for all five players to log out at the same moment. The mobs will reset if there is no one in the dungeon. They may then log in and will most likely be put near the dungeon’s entrance, where they can hurry back to the Crawth arena.

While this is a simple workaround, it is not ideal because it will take more than two minutes to reset it and return to the boss encounter. Losing time on a Mythic Plus run is quite punitive, and it’s a little insane that it hasn’t been rectified via an update.

With Dragonflight, Blizzard has gained some goodwill from gamers, but circumstances like these bring supporters infinite anguish, especially when their complaints go unanswered. For the time being, some players are just avoiding the Algeth’ar Academy dungeon until the problem is resolved.
