Sometimes bosses (Pestilence or Campaign) cannot be looted

This problem is due to the fact that the collision hitbox of mobs (including bosses) sometimes does not disappear when they die, creating invisible walls. I also had this bug block a path and had to take the long way around.

Pestilence bosses leave a collisions on their death that prevents taking loot.

Some corpses also go into T-pose after a few teleportations.

I thought this might be a bug but I think it is just a game feature that needs adjusting.

I’ve had loot flames drop in weird and inaccessible areas before, but I remembered I could actually record it finally.

Defeated an outbreak boss today and can’t get to a loot flame and it doesn’t involve water or cliffs this time.

I imagine there is a fix that reprograms loot flames to appear in the nearest walkable tile.

I also imagine there’s room for a ā€œlost lootā€ container or NPC in Sacrament, a la Solasta or Borderlands.

In case this is a bug, here’s the video of this most recent example:

After killing the miniboss, I couldn’t pick up any items. His body was active and impossible to pass through. Video and log files

After restarting the game, I was able to pick up the items because the NPC’s body had disappeared.

Yes, it is quite possible that the reason is that the NPC ran all the way to the gate.

I confirm, an example from an ordinary monster. Video

After killing a boss in a pestilence outbreak, the boss’s collision persists and blocks the loot.

@dusty_pants @holler is this universally happening for each boss you defeat?

@Silas-Inservio-Pax No, it’s pretty rare for me. I’ve encountered it twice in about 12 hours of play time. But it did stand out to me because it never happened before in my 300 hours before Together launched.

Thank you! Hope one of the fixes above can also solve it for you if this happens again.

For clarity, I have re-escalated this issue.

Silas

I got no reward for killing the Plauge boss. I tried once that it was delayed for maybe 5-10sec. But this time nothing.

Hi Rocco,

There was no loot pile inside the carcass? That is usually what happens and you have to walk through and spam your interact key.

Silas

Nope. Usually there is. But this time no. First time this bug happen to me. I have close to 300hours playtime.

Did you notice if there was invisible collision, blocking you out?

Silas

Yes in some way. The rocks was blocking some of the plague boss corps. Perhaps it was trap in between?

There is a bug still present where sometimes the collision of the slain corpse is still active, preventing you from reaching the loot pile. It is my suspicion that that happened here as well :wink:

If you can please report here if you get this bug to occur a second time, or if a second person with the same thing reports it I can escalate this on more stable grounds, hope you understand!

Silas

Sure will do. Thank you for your time :wink:
