I lost over 900,000 runes due to a bizarre bug.

[RiseAgain]

I had just defeated Radahn, when, after the cutscene where the "star" falls on Limgrave, the game, for some reason, suddenly put my character partially inside one of the stone ruins on the arena, and so my character became unable to move.

I restarted the game and reloaded my save, and then the game put my character below the map where it died after a few seconds of falling towards nothingness. After that, while my character respawned on Radahn's arena, and I'm now able to move again, the game put my character's lostrunes inside the map geometry, which means it's impossible for me to recover them.

And no, I'm not using mods.

Did you try to use the Map option and port somewhere else? That's what i do when i get stuck.

git gud

I lost 250k on the mountaintop when my character just randomly froze and died, and the runes spawned on a random unreachable cliff. They're gone...

[Hikaru]

same thing happened to me in dlc final boss arena lol. cursed.

I tried that at first, but the game didn't allow me to teleport to another location. So, I reloaded my save.

The most I have lost is 40 million and some change if it makes you feel better.

[Crowing]

If you were running around with almost a million runes then you didn't need the runes

[Weedsmell]

i lost 5 million the other day falling through the floor after being summoned for coop

the souls spawned under the map... no biggie tho

[⛧Vinn⛧]

Runes are such an easy thing to get back and thats why i dont understand the frustration when someone loses x-amount of them. You can just farm them in mohgwyn or do some coop and got the runes you need. Worst part about dying is the run back anyways, rune loss is just not worth getting mad over ^^

[JJ, Professional Fool]

Dude I had a bunch of runes, then I died. Then I died again and never got them back.

Hardcore souls moment my bro. I was like, Oh you Dark Souls. Silly souls.

[Chris1]

Did you have a plan for those 900k runes ? I lost 150 million runes once because I wasn't paying attention (earned mainly through co-op at elden beast), but I've found that once you are casually carrying around millions of runes, you really didn't have a plan for them anyway.

[Sir Happy]

Just go hit the farming area for 20 mins you will be good

[youmeathead]

I once lost 52,000,000 runes one time because I was just standing by the Malenia boss entrance while a well known “solo player” was trying to take down the boss alone. Little did I know when Malenia went into her summon phase one of her spirits got me. Oh well!

I'll never understand why people hold on to so many runes at once
