What went wrong?
The models of Shade of Orobyss’s blood orbs appears to have separated from the hitboxes. The visible blood orb models kept going in a straight line off the map, while the hitbox of the blood orbs remained in the map and chased after my character, resulting in my dying to invisible blood orbs. Restarting the game does NOT fix the issue.
Side Note
This was my first time encountering the blood form of Shade of Orobyss, which meant I died repeatedly to this attack until I noticed the model/hitbox separation. It was kind of funny.
I am also having this bug and it was really frustrating until I figured out what was happening. I fought 3 different shades, some multiple times, that had the blood orb ability. The bug was consistent, I never got correct visuals.
If you are having this bug I’ve found that just keep moving till they explode is usually a good way to stay alive. Before I realized what was happening though I just got one shot, probably from all three orbs exploding on me, very frustrating.
Also seen this happen a few times now, ripped away my deathless tag after a whole heap of progress. Seems like it should be somewhat high priority, as it kinda hard puts a stop to hardcore being a thing people can do, unless they know about it already. And well, its just straight up invisible damage.
