Solution:

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.
Iāve 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 canāt get to a loot flame and it doesnāt 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 thereās room for a ālost lootā container or NPC in Sacrament, a la Solasta or Borderlands.
In case this is a bug, hereās the video of this most recent example:
After killing the miniboss, I couldnāt 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 NPCās 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 bossās collision persists and blocks the loot.
Getting this as well.
@dusty_pants @holler is this universally happening for each boss you defeat?

@Silas-Inservio-Pax No, itās pretty rare for me. Iāve 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 ![]()
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 ![]()
