Vrock no loot?

[Gufo_Lesto]

Hi guys! I managed to kill the vrock on the market square but...I didn't find anything? I remember how killing the water elemental previously gave me a reward (as a nearby hidden loot), am I missing something or it's the way is intended?

I think its just the loot from the nearby dead crusaders.

Vrocks should -- in theory -- have treasure. But i guess sweetchiliheat is ríght, they put the loot in the crusaders. Odd, but in that case even RP wise a good decision.

The crusaders killed by the Vrock have a pretty good magic shield + the normal weapons/armor/healing potions. Basically you get a decent magic heavy shield for defeating it

They don't carry anything later in the game either. Which is sad given they're the only enemy that has given me any trouble at all in the entirety of chapter 2.

Owlcat seems to like to give you wild difficulty spikes...but with no real rewards for these random, stronger than the mill, encounters.

The reward is the +2 Mithral shield. As with the Water Elemental, stealth gives you the same reward as outright combat.

I see, thank you guys!

Just killed the Vrock and there are no dead crusaders so no Mithril Shield. Must be hidden behind some trigger.

I entered Market Square, grabbed Ember, freed the Vrock, resolved the issue Hulrun without killing him, then left for the Blackwing Library to grab the Storyteller. Teleported back Defender's Heart and rested which triggered the assault.

After the assault I returned to Market Square to clean up the rest of it. And no dead crusaders, no shield.

The shield on the dead Crusader got patched out several updates ago. No idea why.

yea, it's disappointing, the fight is harder than some of the elite enemies you fight and it gives no rewards or achievements. It's doubly odd because you need to go through a previous set of actions to spawn it so you would think there would be something more to it. I'm guessing it was meant to have something special but they didn't finish it.

[PuppYofDOOM]

I got a longsword from the body nearby after the fight.

[awolcz]

I can confirm. I just killed Vrock, hard fight, and received absolutely no loot or any kind of reward. There is no shield on crusader or whatever. Just useless fight.

[For_Science!]

For those who aren't finding the shield on the dead crusaders...you might already have grabbed it. Once the vrock has killed the crusaders and you've seen their bodies on-screen, their belongings show up in the "Do you want to take this stuff?" screen as you exit the market square.

At this stage in the game, if you own a +2 mithril shield, it's because you already grabbed the vrock's loot, knowingly or not. (Yes, this negates the point of fighting the vrock, so I would call it a bug, or at least an unintended exploit, that the shield is so easy to grab.)

[awolcz]

Nope, I do not own that shield and never had. Also checked the merchant in the safe zone, just to be 100 % sure. When I leave the zone, there is no shield either in the Do you want to take this stuff". There are also no dead crusaders where the Vrock is

[For_Science!]

That's odd, then; you have me stumped. I'm pretty sure the shield wasn't intentionally patched out, unless it happened very recently. On my last run through Act I a few weeks ago, the shield was there as always.

[Rhapsody]

I couldn't find any such shield either. I killed the Vrock and its cohorts after the tavern attack - maybe that is the reason?
