Game mode: Online official Type of issue: Possible Bug Server type: PVP Region: US
So admittedly I have a small sample size, but I have killed the Red Mother in the Unnamed City a few times and have yet to get a skeleton key off of her. I assume she is supposed to drop one as there is a chest behind her on her left hand side that says I can’t open it. Can anyone else confirm if they have received a skeleton key off her?
Please provide a step-by-step process of how the bug can be reproduced. The more details you provide us with the easier it will be for us to find and fix the bug:
Kill Red Mother
Apply aloe vera for scrapes and burns
Harvest Red Mother corpse and not get skeleton key.
So there is just a random legendary loot chest behind her? That is what is confusing me about the whole issue. Does the chest need to be removed or changed or is there another secret to the chest I haven’t discovered yet?
I understand that she drops fragments of power and sometimes legendary weapons when you loot her. My question stems from the fact that there is a legendary item chest (I assume) off to her left that gives you an error message when you try to open it. No other boss has a chest you can’t open next tto them. If she is not dropping a skeleton key when you harvest her, why is that chest there? Or does it not require a skeleton key?
I got a key during the CtA event, but none since and I’ve killed it 3 times since. I was starting to wonder if it changed, when they changed the relic hunters drops to no longer have fragments.
I’ll make a few more runs through there and see if it remains zero keys. For the most part, I rarely fail to loot a key from any of the other world bosses.
So after work I logged in to SP and continuously spawned the Red Mother for 10 minutes, with damage adjusted so I could kill her in 2 hits. I got zero skeleton keys from all the corpses. I tried every tool except, I now realize, a pickaxe.
Unrelated, harvesting her with a pick will yield brimstone as a byproduct and using axe gives you Exotic Meat as a byproduct. We’ll see if a pickaxe gives both.
Asking for the wiki, is this creature really called Red Mother or is this a nickname? If so, what creature are you refering to?
Note, the Red Dragon is not a Legendary Creature. There might be one around there, but we dont have it on the wiki afaik. The chest I see on the picture says Open so I suppose you’re able to open it normally but I’ve not touched Legendary Chests.
EDIT: I would guess that, being a part of this list, she’s not supposed to drop a key. So I’m back to my other question of why the chest is there. I did confirm that the chest requires a Skeleton Key to open and gives one of the original legendary weapons.
Before the overhaul for the unnamed city there was a big dragon there that did drop a skeleton key every time.
I can’t tell if its the same dragon there now as I’m colorblind but she looks bigger. My wife says it red and the old one wasn’t.
We’ve killed her 3 times now for no key.
I assume they forgot to remove the chest when they overhauled it.
Yep, old one was kinda green, the Red Mother is kinda red. The lighting in the Unnamed City can make seeing colors difficult even for a person with normal color vision, so I can understand why a colorblind person wouldn’t see a difference.
The Red Mama is also tougher, or at least she feels tougher.
The non-boss Red dragon is still where it used to be, at the northern entrance to the city.
