Echo Knight fell to his death, quest did not advance

Wicked Bug Reporting
1

So, finally managed to kill the Echo Knight. Had him down to about 20% HP and frozen, and he decided to stagger backward off the edge of the platform and die.

I did not get any loot from him, naturally since items unfortunately still spawn where the mob fell instead of at the player’s feet (please change this).

But even worse, after the work and effort and luck of getting the right crucible power rolls to have a chance at killing this guy at lv28, I looted the chests in the subsequent rooms and received no such tablet to close out Elsa’s quest.

I guess I’ll try again tomorrow after some more material farming and pray for good crucible rolls and non-agonizing platformer rooms.

In addition to the echo knight bug, that crucible run also bugged in that by the time you unlock the last power before your two choices start being the random boons, I could not select one of the two random boon options, I had to open the menu, waste resources to reroll, and then it’d let me select the random boon option. But if I closed the menu and reopened it, it would go back to not let me select between the options, I’d have to reroll resources again.

Revisiting after killing the Echo Knight proper without him falling down.

This quest in fact cannot be progressed (Spoken and Unspoken)

The tablet that progresses the quest that you loot from the central big chest in the reward room alongside the other 2 smaller chests no longer appears.

So you can’t loot the tablet that progresses the quest. And there’s no longer a platform lift that takes you up after looting the tablet so Elsa can remark about your findings.

The quest Spoken and Unspoken simply cannot be completed, and this should be communicated to the player.

Because Elsa in dialogue keeps prompting you about finding more about the echo knights as if you hadn’t killed Cyvion.

God bless you dude because this EXACT scenario happened to me. Low health AND frozen lmfao.

I got robbed of my kill AND I thought my quest progression but it’s a relief to know I didn’ t miss anything.

Well, you still miss the loot, which is why it still annoys me that bosses can fall off platforms.

Everytime you kill Echo Knight, he himself drops a legendary item plus a plague ichor, and these are separate from the reward chests at the end.

So it’s a crappy scenario regardless.

Did you have to restart your entire game? Did you find a workaround?
The same thing happened to me just recently (echo night falling off cliff) and even when I kill him normally Elsa still says the same thing and the quest doesn’t progress.

See above. As of the Breach patch, the quest cannot be completed, even when you kill him proper.

The item that progresses the quest simply is not there in the grand chest, and there is no elevator you go up back with for Elsa to react to like in the previous patch.

Thanks for replying!
I knew the quest wasn’t possible to finish, but also thought that it’s meant to progress a bit more beyond the first crucible run.
