How to avoid losing items dropped by enemies in the Gutter? - Board game with wooden blocks dropped and scattered on table chaotically after playing

Twice in the first run through the Gutter I've seen the "Pick up item" prompt appear just for a fraction of a second after killing an enemy. It then disappears. There is no glowing mass, and no prompt. Reloading the game doesn't help. Any tips?



Best Answer

These "items" are affected by gravity. Basically, if there's a hole in the floor (in the Gutter there are many) then the item will fall through, given a big enough gap. Basically, the only way to grab these items are:

  • Be quick. Mash the button if you have to, and expect a drop regardless, even if one is not forthcoming.
  • Check the lower levels. Some platforms are multi-levelled. It is possible the item may have stopped below.

For the record: reloading the game does not "reset" the location of general item drops. This only happens for special equipment (like NPC drops, for example). If you quit the game with a few of these items around, they will disappear when you re-load the game.

How do you get past the gutters?

The Gutter leads into the Black Gulch, home of The Rotten. This is the area with the most changes in Scholar of the First Sin. Not only are there more spots that you can light up with your torch, but there are more enemies that lurk around waiting for you to walk by.
