Can anyone confirm an event related to Hawkwood? *Spoilers*

[ColdNhungry]

So, once Hawkwood leaves the shrine, after you've collected the Farron Ring from him for having defeated the 4 mentioned bosses, he leaves his shield for you.

However, according to fextralife, both on Hawkwood's page, and the shield's page, there is supposed to be a conversation where Andre gives you his sheild, as opposed to finding it resting on the gravestone outside. They even link their own video to show this, yet the video shows the Swordgrass conversation you have with Andre, not anything related to his shield. I haven't been able to find this conversation in any other videos either.

I've tried speaking to Andre the moment Hawkwood leaves. He gives me the ring, I reload the shrine, he's gone, Andre has nothing to say about it and the shield is already next to the gravestone. He only says something about Hawkwood once you later bring him the Dragon Torse Stone, in order for you to finish his questline.

Has anyone experienced this "event" and know under what conditions it can happen? Otherwise I don't know where they got that information. I'd have to assume they were just thinking of the Swordgrass conversation...

There's a crappy shield in a tree outside, is that the one?

That's the East-West Shield. I'm talking about "Hawkwood's Shield", found on the gravestone where he is sometimes.

Once you defeat the Abyss Watchers, Curse-Rotted Greatwood, Deacons of the Deep and the Crystal Sage, he leaves the shrine, and leaves his shield on the gravestone where he sometimes is.

The wiki is wrong.

It would seem, yet the wiki mentions it multiple times, on two different pages. Where did they get this info then?

You can either get it from Andre or pick it up from the graveyard. Depends on where you go first, iirc.

Have you done this yourself though? I've tested it myself as I said above. He is there, I reload after receiving the ring, he is gone, and Andre has nothing to say and the shield is already outside, as opposed to having it given to you by Andre. I'm just trying to find the proper "trigger" for Andre to give it to me.
