When leaving game after dying, The Shadow is gone?
So this has happened to me twice now, costing me over 5k geos.
I died, saved game , came back to have 0 geos , but no shadow and my soul meter isnt broken now?
lots of lost geo, time and patience is lost thanks to this amazing bug.

It only happens sometimes. One time I quit the game after dying several times because I only had <100 geo and didn't care, and came back and my shade was still there.

happened to me once, I loss less than you but I kinda grind for it in a slow way so I want them back. I just sent a bug report earlier.

Hi, are you quitting the game by using the in-game menu or by hitting Alt+F4? We've had reports that some progress is lost if quitting via Alt+F4 before the game is saved via bench or quitting to menu.

One time... I got my shade back with 2k geo, and went to the bank to deposit it. Just as I was about to hit "Deposit", my game went through a hard freeze. Restarted the game, and I came back to no geo - and no shadow!

Even if I save at a bench, if I don't select "quit to menu" (or the game freezes) I lose the shadow

The event's random I think. I've a lot of time alt+F4-ing due to ragequit, and the shadow's often still there, and it's just nowhere another time.

I had this happen to me as well. The ghost disappeared on reload and my soul meter was whole, not broken. However, I went to Jiji and offered up the rancid egg and she spawned in the lost ghost with all my geo. Give that a shot if you can.

it's happened in both, i had a segement where i was dying over and over, and got fed up so i just f4'd out, and lost the shade,
another time i was saving at a bench and came right back to the game ( had ot eat) and it was also gone

Ugh. I just stopped playing. Probably refund. This game explains ♥♥♥♥ all. Why is the orb broken? It won't repair. Everything is a dead end. Nobody designs levels this badly. Metroid got away with backtracking because everything is closed off in the beginning and at the end you can get everywhere fast. Here you're slow as ♥♥♥♥ and don't even have a map nor do the levels point you in the right direction. Just terrible.

Dont blame the game for not holding your hand mate

Yes. Later in the game, you can get anywhere pretty fast.

Either you play the game only for a few minutes, or you just became salty for losing to a certain boss several times.

I guess I'm too used to Dark Souls holding my hand. Don't see why I should bother with grinding tedious rooms of enemies to buy what the game should have started with in the first place. Only seen that done before as a joke.

at first i was on the same page as you , but then i decided to quit whining and make the game more fun by exploring and seeing what it had to offer.
After i learned how the world is put together i had alot more fun with it.
and recently beat it under 5 hours and on steel soul mode as well. never thought id pull it off, but yeah ^^ after 50 + hours in the main game world, i learned the fastest way to do stuff, and what could be skipped

Well, that's true. Don't bother to grind.

In fact, you'll eventually get tons of Geos as you explore, to the point that you'll basically decide to empty the shopkeeper's stocks.

for a speed run, just grab the charm that collects geos for you, but mainly just sell stuff in city if tears, thats the fastest way to do it.
i never upgraded my nail in my speed run, never got the nailmaster arts, all i did was beeline to the 3 seals and crush them and then zipped back to the last boss.
i never felt the need to grind in this game after i learned how pointless it really is
