Ulric's Kukris (spoiler) / Nyx daggers

[Noctis]

Hi guys, as you know the last chapter is a bit different from the original one so i'll show you where i've dropped this weapon

1) Defeat Ifrit
2) Defeat the first Lucii's king
3) Return where was Ifrit and kill red golems
4) Keep going straight and kill 3 black Flans
5) Go on until you reach this position (From the Subway or from the road if subway is locked)

6) If psychomencer isn't here walk around, kill some ennemies, farther you should have a cinematic and you'll met Omega, don't waste your time on him he is too strong. Give up the fight and return where Psychomencer is supposed to be.

Thanks^^ <3 I was about to ask since the map has been updated and all. So we don't need to take the elevator anymore ?

[Noctis]

No, the elevator is after the lucii king so you don't need to take it

Tried this multiple times, the psychomancer never shows up.

Every other guide i've read says i needed to kill all the soldiers in the subway but they're all blocked off now cos i killed the first king.

*Edit* Found another way into the subway, killing all the troops got him to spawn, he didn't drop anything when he died though. Guess they aren't a guaranteed drop so not gonna waste my time grinding that bs.

I actually had to take the elevator cuz the damn Flans didn!t want to spawn :D (killed them be4 I knew I will need them for the kukris :D)

Do they have a 100% drop chance? Just killed the guy for the 3rd time and they are not appearing on the floor or my inventory.

Same here... are we sure the weapon is still available on this new map ? I killed the psychomencer three time and nothing ...

Same.

But I read a post from a guy who had the same problem. He then saved the game on the spot where he killed the Psycho and when he reloaded the save the daggers were laying on the ground. Not sure if it works but worth the try, no?

Just tried this and it doesn't work.

Killed him in chapter 14 no daggers. Now he won't spawn at all in chapter 15.
Only thing that worked was chapter select got them first try.

This is some information a guy from reddit has posted to a comment I made. Everything he says seems to check out and make sense.

I still don't have a precise idea as to what exactly the issue is with the drop, but after an extended conversation on the Official Discord I'm slightly better informed. While not reported officially as a glitch, this has been a known issue for at least 3 months by at least some Official FFXV Discord and subreddit admins and moderators.

According to one of the admins, there has been a problem with both the drop rate of the Kukris and the spawning of the Psychomancer in Insomnia since around December. There were additional reports of issues in late Jan/early Feb.

Prior to an update around December, the Kukris were either a guaranteed or RNG drop from the Psychomancer - the information isn't categorically clear on this aspect. Subsequent to the update, it appears RNG drop rates were adjusted and there were also reports of the Kukris just randomly appearing on the ground within the general area where the Psychomancer typically spawned. By the way, since updates 1.22/1.23 for Royal Edition compatibility, the spawn point has been altered as a result of the expanded Insomnia, but the previous statement still stands.

Sometimes players would just run into the Kukris on the ground without ever spawning the Psychomancer, others would get him to spawn and beat him which would sometimes trigger the Kukris to appear or not at all, and others again would save right before engaging once he spawned and save scum multiple times only to find that the Kukris would not appear.

The Discord admin has suggested that currently there is an increased element of RNG to the drop and a potential bugginess to the Psychomancer itself spawning and the random appearance of the Kukris on the ground in the area of the spawn without the Psychomancer itself actually spawning. Other players have mentioned that despite getting the Psychomancer to spawn and beating him multiple times - one particular player tried up to 20 times - using save scumming, the Kukris were never triggered.

Overall, it appears that the Kukris are still obtainable regardless of platform or whether you are playing chapter 14 or 15, but the altered RNG mechanics coupled with a potential spawn/drop bugginess means that the entire process has been rendered significantly more difficult and inconsistent for players.

Until SE applies a new update that specifically rectifies the issue, it would appear that there is not a clear, reliable way to obtain the Kukris.

Killed him in Chapter 15 - no drop

[kostasdx]

From my personal experience. Did him in chapter 14, no drop. I then went with the chapter select and started chapter 15 I found him and he dropped the kukris first time. I then returned to my main save which is in chapter 15 and I can't even make him spawn.
