Life Essence Glitch

Product: Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order
Platform:Sony Playstation 4
Summarize your bug You don't receive a life essence when instantly getting killed after collecting one.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Start a new game. Go to the planet bogano. Immediately go to Oggdo bogdo, but don't fight him. Run past him and collect the life essence. Die instantly afterwards by oggdo bogdo. Don't run back to him and finish bogano storywise. When you get the chsnce to leave the planet, run to oggdo bogdo and kill him. When you'll collect your next life essence, it will show you, you only have one. And when you go back to oggdo bogdos cave, there wont be a life essence anymore
What happens when the bug occurs? The life essence wont be collected by you and you'll miss a collectible, which is extremly frustrating
What do you expect to see? If not correctly collected, the life essence should respawn please. I love the game and i want to 100% it.

When you collect 2 other life essence, you wont have more health, so you'll technicly need more. After getting killed by oggdo bogdo, you don't return to him instantly or else I can't guarantee you'll have the same bug. Even after visiting Bogano after hours of playing on a different planet, the life essence doesn't respawn. Very frustrating but the game is instantly one of my favorites of all time. Would be sad if this glitch would hinder me of completing it.

  • @DamiGamingLP I just realized after getting to the first life essence on Zeffo that I did not get the life essence from Bogano in this exact way.
  • I think i have the same problem with the Force Echo, It's a 06 data in data bank. I can swear i sensed it before as i remember the location but it did not show up as gathered as i don't have marked as completed and now it doesn't want to spawn for me.

  • I also had this exact Issue. I tried to use force Slow to keep the frog out of my way so I could loot it and get out, but then was killed. What's more, I killed the boss afterwards- and whilst some players said that doing so would recover the life essence glitch, I had no such luck. I find it -really- galling that this bug remains in the game 6 Months later, and what's more, the fact that it could be tracked.

    It shouldn't be too hard to fix, since there should be an integer that marks down that a player connected that essence (Since it's also connected to a lore entry. Wouldn't retroactively awarding players who had that lore entry an essence be viable? Possibly by having the essence value be set from 0 to 1 -If- they have that Lore entry when they use a check point?

    Just asking as someone that dabbled in coding, yo.
