Failed both quests to get the arisen bond

[maris]

Guys I screw up. I'm near end game in my first playthrough but I failed Quina quest (I just forgot to report to the mayor she's is safe) and the Aelinore one so I don't accidentally get her as beloved.
Is there some other way I can get the arisen bond? If not, can someone give me a spare one? I can duplicate and return it.
Thanks in advance.

Why do you need the Arisen Bond?

I probably raised max affinity with the intended beloved already
but I would like to see the dialogue and the dragon dropping the ring stuff

You won't see the dragon dropping the ring. The bond will just lie on the ground after Deny Salvation.
As for the Beloved: the dialogue means nothing, but with few exceptions you will notice his/her dissapearance I guess.

Oh, really?
I believe for this first playthrough so it won't be so bad to not have the arisen bond
guys, thanks for the clarification

What do you mean by this? Does the Arisen's Bond appear on the ground even if you don't acquire or use it?

Because there's definitely a short cutscene of the ring being dropped from the sky after completing Deny Salvation if you've gifted it to the person he kidnaps.

What happens if you gift the ring to another NPC who ends up not being taken, instead an NPC gets taken who wasn't given the ring, I wonder. Would the ring just be lost? Or would it appear in front of you after Deny Salvation, just without any cutscene dropping it?

Hmm, never had this cutscene -the bond always simply lied on the ground, glowing.
Maybe it's bugged?

Not sure. In that playthrough I had Julien as my beloved, and definitely recall after Deny Salvation when Grigori flew off, there was a short section where you see a ring falling down from behind him, with an audible ringing sound to draw your attention to it.

Yeah, I had to double check to make sure I wasn't going mad:

Around the 39:40 mark of this video you can see it.

It's possibly bugged or just a bit of a flaw of how the mechanics with affinity work, like how Aelinore's quest loves to override your beloved choice because you can't ply her with Liquid Effluvium during the quest, annoyingly.

Might be worth checking if the Arisen's Bond is dumped on the ground after that quest even if the NPC you gave it to isn't the one getting abducted, I dunno.

Or maybe it's my memory, who knows.
I don't often bother even getting the bond in the first place ;)

Combine Love In The Rough and Noonflowers to create the ring.

If you don't give them the bond beforehand the cutscene is different.
