Stagnant canal corrupted zone spawning endless waves of boss

Bug reference number: 1821081163

Description: The stagnant canal corrupted zone spawns wave after wave of the unique-type snake, "Wiraqucha, Ancient Guardian," without any tells or indication what to do to make it stop. There is, literally, a straight canal with a few trash mobs, and it ends in a dead end with over 9000 snake bosses to murder. Our party tried reading the letter, kiting the bosses away from the vessel, aoe'ing them (even though killing them all at once is just impossible). The snakes also don't seem to be adds to some (not yet spawned) real boss, since they all have the "unique type" frame usually used for mobs like Weaver, Piety, or Rogue Exiles.

Screenshots:

I second this bug, Wiraqucha spawns copies ad infinitum. Creates too much lag to fight too.

I have experienced this as well. I killed snakes for about 40 minutes, but they never stopped spawning from the smoke.

i just experienced this at well. i tried to kill everything until the amount of monsters lagged and disconnected me from the game.

I have the same encounter right now. It's called "burning stagnant canal, monsters deal 84% extra damage as fire, area yields 12% more items" Died 3 times trying to whirling blade into the end but it seems endless. Killed a ton of those unique snakes but nothing special. Lost a chunk of exp, not very happy :(

In similar situation right now, no idea how to kill the snakes...whats going on?

I joined a public game this time and it's on lightning ground. We did it for a while but actually cleared it somehow. There is nothing at the end but a letter to read. That's it.

Have read the letter, but there's also one of those 'boxes' thats at the end of the corrupted zone...its locked, I assume only opens when the boss is dead.

Been going 30 mins now with AoE...hundreds of dead snakes and still they come. Giving up.

Think its a boss that replicates itself...

Got it with "2 unique boss mobs"

that made it even worse
