Marked One Clones During Co-op
Yes, an actual bug this time :P
After partying up with my brother via keyword matching, we found that there would occasionally be two of the same Marked One in the areas where you fight them. Specifically, this happened at the Hunting Path and the Tower of Adal. We went to each Marked One site only once, so I don't know if the bug is tied to these locations or if it may also happen with the others. There were no other abnormalities.
This was just the other day on PS4. We didn't take screenshots, but if they'll help, I'll try to reproduce the bug and take them.

I would like to notice that the number of spawned NPCs depends upon the numbers of online players around when you're online. If you are alone in the game zone or playing offline, you won't see those multiple NPCs. As you were with your brother it is okay to meet more NPCs.
It is a good idea to team up with the other players to beat those bunches of NPCs.
This has been occurring since launch; occasionally there will be more than one, usually two, Marked Ones of the same name at the fighting location.
Yeah, it's a known issue. It's triggered off multiple players loading into the instance and is resolved by dropping into Offline Mode.
Ultimately, if you run into this while in a group, you should be able to defeat them by having each person manage one of the NPCs. If you're solo and don't feel up to the challenge, drop into Offline Mode and it will only give you one.
