It’s been since Jun 2021 that the serpentman boss was reported missing and the reponse from @Dana (FC) was the team is currently looking into it.
As of my last playthrough about two weeks ago and long before that, that boss is still missing.
So, what’s the story on that?

Oh, it’s that serpentman boss we are supposed to get the Shining Trapezohedron from in that last encounter in the Well of Skelos.
But it seems he’s been on vacation a bit too long now.
It’s time to put that miserable wretch back to work so we can take the Trapezohedron from his corpse after he commits suicide.
By the way:
This is happening in SP/Coop mode.

Apologies to Harperson.
I should have been much more clear and descriptive.
From the surroundings I see in your screen capture, that’s the spot.
The boss seems to be the one which appears as though you are perched on him with one foot and your horse is facing.
The corpse in the foreground seems to resemble a dead human.
Well, long story short .. that’s the boss who has been missing for months and wasn’t there earlier this month when I last went there.
In looking at that, it makes me want to go back and check to see if he has returned from his extended vacation.
I’ll get back to this when I do and it will be shortly.

He is a 3 skull serpentman boss at the end that drops the trapezohedron.
I think he had been missing back then but he has been back for awhile.
If he is still missing for you, are you not seeing him in SP?

Just made a pass through the volcano and here are the screen captures.
This is SP / Coop:
You can see in the first screen shot that his dialog is present.
But you will notice he isn’t there behind the wall.
As usual, I get attacked by the illusions and when they are all gone, the wall drops and the boss is still on vacation.
Next week I’ll try to fire up my private server and start up a MP session to see whether or not he shows up there.
This is the most current release.

I haven’t been there in a while, but this matches the majority of my experiences in singleplayer with regards to this boss. (I have also had occasional visits where he did show up - sometimes displaced from his correct location to elsewhere in the throne room - but most times, for several years, he has been a no-show.) If it will help, I can add this to my list of stuff to test and see if I can add additional confirmation.
For convenient reference - I believe the boss in question is known as ‘The Degenerate’ - see wiki, which also listsa how the encounter is ‘supposed’ to go.

You are right about the boss identification.
He is known as “The Degenerate”.

Confirmed and gathered video - made official bug report, since it’s been a while since we heard anything and there’s been no response so far to your enquiry. (See here for the videos)
Note: it turns out that if you go back up the path after the fight, then turn back round and return to the throne room again, it resets and he is there this second time - you have to do the entire fight a second time, but at least it means that he can appear - just not the first time…
