Tortured Prisoner Bugged?!?

Sooooo she seemingly disappeared for me! I beat the "lava bro" and wore the noblewoman set, exhausted her dialogue, then she appeared behind bars by the beacon. I once again exhausted her dialogue and got the perfume, theeeeen explored the castle and got the swaddling cloth aaaand then beat the final boss(es). (but HAVEN'T gone into ng+ yet) She is NOWHERE to be found now?! she wasn't behind the bars, she isn't by the vestige, nor is she even waiting in the king's room (not even to beat me up lol). idk but this sucks bc now I cant get her ring for mana regen on the 'estus' heal, her armor set, much less the achievement.. ;^:

Did you gave her the swaddling cloth before beating the Monarch? Your summary sounds like you didn't and thats why she is gone.

Yet another questline I failed because I had no idea I was supposed to give X to Y before Z.

I mean, you're running thru the castle, get the cloth, and shortly after - boom - there's the boss. "Oh wait a minute, I'll be back in a few while I deliver these obscure goods to progress a vague questline".

This game, while mostly excellent, is in desperate need of a quest log. Something should have notified me of a quest update the moment I picked up the cloth.

And map. While in general I have found my way around due to the linear design I think an actual map to SHOW how things are connected would help my immersion in the world and make things a lot less frustrating.

If you beat the Monarch before giving her every questitem she will turn hostile. That must have been your mistake. You will find her now in Bramis Castle where the two ruiners are (one is charging at you). She is on that balcony where the second ruiner would come from. But the quest failed for you in this PT.

Did you give the charred letter to her? That moved her to the castle vestige if I remember right.

check out there are all questlines on youtube .sometimes the paths are not so understandable. but we know that from playing soulslike ;)

sounds like you didnt give her the charred letter, also maybe you gave her cloth after boss..

i really disagree. there def shouldnt be more map than there allready is. you will learn the locations after a while, and after all this is a soulslike, not a regular RPG:) Also its always been like this in souls, the "vague" questline, and the hidden lore, is a part of what makes real good soulslikes that you can dig deep into, and put thoughts into :)
