Unalloyed gold needle missing

[Flamarys]

Finished Milicent's questline but she died without returning the unalloyed gold needle.
Guess I'm stuck with that frenzied flame then?

[Flo]

Did you help her fight the 3 sisters, or did you kill her? Did you kill her by jumping on her (though I think this was fixed last patch), or did you exhaust all her dialog?

[Diarrhea Blaster]

Ya I just did this on 2 diff characters>
Summon to assist = 1 talisman and needle
Summon to attack = different talisman no needle

[IBOT]

Did you fall on her by accident after helping her? If you do 1 damage to her by jumping ln her for example

[khaychi]

Did you reload the area after exhausting her dialog while she was lying on the ground after the invasion(helping her)? If not, do so. Either by quitting to main menu and load back in, or by resting at a grace. She don't hand over the needle, you need to loot it after she died.

[Flo]

I just did the "fight her" end of her quest (sorry Milly I really needed that prosthesis), and you find a rot flower where she dies Gowry would be proud, she finally became a flower ;_;

[Flamarys]

Yep done all of that, dunno if I just can't get it because I inherited the frenzied flame but that's what I thought it was for

[Flo]

Hum no, have the flame shouldn't matter... If you assisted her, exhausted her dialog then came back after she died, she should have dropped the needle. Check your key items maybe? Otherwise well... I hope you like chaos

Keep in mind that even if you chose to help her fighting her sisters and properly finished the questline, exhausting all her dialog and avoiding to accidentally kill her, you still need to reload the area to get the needle, so try fast travelling to the nearest site of grace, then return to her; you should find the needle on her corpse. Assuming you didn't incurr some bug, of course...

quitting to titlescreen does the same thing as resting at a site of grace for these kinds of npc interactions. saves you the trip back.

as for the tc : if you fought her you ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up. enjoy your forced frenzy ending. the needle is only given if you help her iirc. otherwise just reset the area to get the needle.

Since it's the first time I fail to obtain this item I'll post what I did differently than on my other characters:
I came back to Gowry midway during the quest and I bought the rot threads incantation he sells, so maybe the game expected me to side against Millicent at the end.
I did not however, trigger the dialogue where Gowry tells you that you must be the one to kill her, so maybe that's why the quest bugged out when I decided not to.

buying the incantation has nothing to do with the quest conclusion as i did that everytime myself. the only choice is if you fight her or help her at the end. the other steps cannot be missed or failed (unless you attack her on purpose yourself) as the quest will simply wait till you fullfill the conditions for her to move on. they also patched killing her after you help her aswell.

the quest didnt bug out. you simply choose to fight her. aka bad ending.

I didn't fight her, do you even read my posts? I even got the rotten winged talisman but the needle didn't come along with it as it usualy does, that's why I'm reporting a bug.

In this case it's definitely a bug. I can confirm that your interactions with Gowry shouldn't affect the outcome of the questline, so besides the usual "check the integrity of the files" advice (which could still work, so try it if you haven't already done it) I'm afraid there's little, if anything, that can be done
Sorry
