SPOILER FOR SNEK - Killed the Snake, but fell off ledge right after by accident...

[ASDF]

So yall know when you SPOILERS stab the snakes eyeball and you get the heart but then you're on some ledge? Well I bumped my controller and Sekiro fell off and I can't get back on. I've tried swimming all around the bottom of it but there's no grapple point...
I used the Monocular to look over and I can confirm an item, but now I feel like I will never get it.

Is there anything over there besides that item? And what IS that item?
Biggest question yet, can I seriously not get back on that ledge after snake stabbing? That'd be really annoying.

I've heard it's just some money and that's it. I pretty much did the same thing.

Its one bundled jinzo statue, one dragonblood droplet and iirc one balloon of something. You could try to teleport to the idol from where you dropped onto the snake and see if you can fall down to the spot with the items. But well, if not possible: who cares about those items =)

[ASDF]

Man I feel pretty cheated. I'd have liked those items, but they're not mandatory.

Weird that there seems to be no way back up there afterwards.

I agree it's weird. One time I even tried leaving the bridge intact by going straight into the lake, but when I came back later to gib the snek the bridge was still in its destroyed state. :/

this just happened to me, I fell from the broken bridge, not even from the edge - we are not alone, here's a reddit thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/Sekiro/comments/b4tubj/help_fell_down_after_killing_snake_how_to_get/

not a big deal, but it is kind of irritating.

You'll swimming in jizo statues and dragonblood droplets in NG+ so don't worry about it.

I joined the club : / first play through. After plunging the serpent I landed on the scripted ledge, but I didn't realize I'd have no way of getting back up there. I jumped down before getting those items thinking I found a side route to something else cool... but it was the point of no return. I frankly find it dumb that when I go back from where you plunge the serpent and try to jump down to where the serpent was wrapped around the rock, it triggers a scripted fall-death, but, if you jump into the water from the same place (an even greater fall), it lets you :p

rant complete lol

[Kraehe]

Welp, just joined this elite club of fools as well. And appereantly nothing I can do about it. This is a great game but that is just flawed design to the maximum and really annoys me... Oh well. Guess I gotta move on now -.-

[SilveouS]

just happened to me recently.. FML

[Dallas]

Hey, I am in now!

[sushpa]

Joined the club as well xD. Glad it wasn't a gourd seed or smth like that.

[James Keenan]

Yup... Just happened to me. It's funny and frustrating. Nothing else in the game is really like that, inaccessible if you leave the area. Oh well.

[MashYourFace]

Just happened to me also. I just wanted to look around a bit and the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ clipped right through the broken bridge. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥!

Welcome to the club

I think this happens to most people.

The broken bridge doesn't have a collision box, so when you move over to the ledge to take a peak down thinking the bridge will stop your movement, you just fall through it. And to make it even worse IIRC there's like a little slope there that automatically makes you slide toward the edge
