Missing Umbral Gem?
I've done 3 trials and only got 2 Gems, after reading up on it i should have had one drop when i did the Self-Same trial but i only got a ring instead?

One of the character minions drops it, I think it's the last one that drops it? So your character mirror drops the ring, but the last enemy drops the gem I think...

I've killed all of them and I didn't get the drop

You get one in every trial.
And then there is one by the demon guy at the spot with the displacer beast.

In one playthrough I was told I had all the gems, which was weird because they were not on my main avatar. Turns out that I at some point had picked up one gem on a whole other avatar.

So look for that too.

same thing happened to me
guess its a bug
it also gives me an option to re-blood the trial but dont get anything else
easy bandaid fix would be to make each umbral gem unique to a trial, allow people to replay the trial by re-blooding it, and require one of each gem

This is STILL happening and whether a bug or not I cannot tell, but I should not have to spend 2+ hours searching to find the last gem which may/may not be on the ground someplace (which I still have not found after combing the entire self trial). Your band-aid fix should be implemented at minimum asap as this is the first time I have become very stuck/frustrated with going in circles with no guidance or input on the last gem and the location.

remember one of the umbral gem is held by raphael ancient enemy the orthon yurgir. Jump on the broken stairs near where you first meet balthazar skeleton.

I was having issues with the Self-Same trial earlier today as well. First it was having weapons vanish instead of being dropped when disarmed, then the ring drop failed to spawn. Naturally it was the messiest fight that finally had everything work out.

Normally, the last clone killed is the one that drops the umbral gem, and the ring spawns in a puddle of blood next to the brazier at the top of the stairs. If you succeed the perception check to notice the ambush, you can set up sneak-attacks on the two clones on the lower level to counter-ambush them and make replaying the fight much easier.

Also remember the light puzzle with the barrier; I just completed it and the umbral gem never appeared for me. The stand is there, I can click on it, but the gem never appeared, and isn't in my inventory. It did my first playthrough. Means that I'm dead in the water on this run.

I want to like this game, but damn is it unstable and buggy. Black screens, locking up while loading, quest items never appearing in game, soft locks due to conversation loops.... all I've had happen today.

This seems to be my issue as well as it does nothing but then when i go away the statue maze lights back up (without forcefield), still looking

If all else fails because of this bug, shove it in the elevator and use the "Knock" spell down by the 3 Umbral gems door.

in my case it was indeed in this area on the stairs of his throne just sitting there (your mileage may vary), finally got through
