I permanently lost a legendary item

[Fartox]

so I was at the Darklight catacombs, and there is this huge imp cannon on a platform that snipes you right, so I killed it with a crossbow, then I used the lever to light up the room and it turns out it lowers the platform the imp was, so then the item it dropped which I'm guessing is legendary since it was glowing orange, got stuck there on the top, out of reach.
I reloaded the game and now the item is gone so I'm assuming I lost the change to get it permanently, pretty stupid design imo, instead of having to pick it up just give it to me when the enemy dies to avoid losing it the way i did.

It was most likely just a random drop. You could always check some wiki for what a mob drops. If it's not there after a reload, then it wasn't unique, because the game tracks that (think DS3 cheesing the 'weapon master' over the cliff). So, no worries.

No legendary items here. You can check the imp drop tables. If they have anything you want you can farm it, but they really don't have anything you want.

okay i know the exact enemy you're talking about-- it was a spirit ash. still annoying but it wasn't like a scadutree fragment or a somber stone or smth

I think I ended up knocking that enemy off the ledge when I killed it due to the Dryleaf Arts' knockback.

Oh well, couldn't have been too important if they put it as a corpse drop and not a guaranteed drop.

I killed that guy last night and the legendary drop was a Great Ghost Glovewort, that thing that makes you able to upgrade spirit ashes to +10

Happened to me earlier as well. It sucks lol

[MidnightMist]

Happened to me too, killed it before i lowered the platform so I didn't get anything.

On the wiki it says you can just reload the bonfire and he will spawn again with loot.

[Toe Inspector]

same thing happened, you can die/reload at bonfire and make sure you lower the platform before killing him so you can grab the drop

[SonOfMyst]

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ stupid.

[Krawaii]

i found the Giant imp you mentioned in the dark Light catacombs. luckiely it was just a great ghost glovewort. you can still get it though. lower the platform and then finish the dungeon. you then just enter it again and that guy respawns. when you kill him again the item willl drop on the lowered platform so you can just walk ontop and grab it

[DeathRow]

not that unexpected tbh when u cheese an encounter

[Jámez Bondo]

It's a great Ghost Glovewort, so not that big of a deal. Had a similar issue with that particular imp, as it also kept floating in the air after the platform was lowered. It did fall down eventually though.

[Tao314zdin]

Happened to me as well, but I simply jumped the pit, respawned and after the kill it dropped again.

[awanderingswordsman]

Same happened to me and dying respawned it. It's just a great grave glovewort though.
