POE2 - Gembloom Skull not dropping both acts

HAVE SAME BUT SORTED IT OUT

I have same but just sorted it out in my case I don't kill this boss on normal difficult level. Skull still not marked as completed at cruel but I receive my spirit. dubble check all bosses guys
Has this issue been resolved with the latest patch?
For me the skull dropped and I consumed it and I thought that it had given me the spirit but I only noticed in act 3 that It did not. Same for ignagduk picked up the item used it but only later realized I didn’t have any base spirit whatsoever. I’m currently stuck using a +150 spirit scepter for my witch build. I am in act 1 cruel. So I have not gotten the second spirit drop from ignagduk but I’m not sure it will cause of my history.

I don't know what all these posts are talking about positioning and it being behind the ritual altar etc... you aren't supposed to get the skull the second time around. Only once in the first act 2. When there's something to be collected at a location there's a + sign next to the skull on the map. There isn't in act2 cruel, and it's not possible to get it twice.
act 1 cruel you dont get the skull, you do get the 40 spirit fromm the bog witch

I've been looking into this and I'm trying to determine how much is confusion or a potential bug based on what people have said. Its a little difficult to be certain so I just wanted to give a brief overview of the Spirit quest items.

We intentionally expect Spirit quest items dropped in the campaign to work as follows:
"
- Mist King Act 1 Normal -> 30 Spirit item
- Ignagduk Act 3 Normal -> 30 Spirit item
- Mist King Act 1 Cruel -> No Spirit item
- Ignagduk Act 3 Cruel -> 40 Spirit item


The base total of Spirit you should have for clearing the above bosses should be 100. Cruel Mist King does not drop a spirit item which is a result of using a Difficulty that repeats the first three acts, and I believe it would be both easy and understandable to assume that he would drop another Spirit item. This specific point of confusion will hopefully be remedied once the rest of the acts are added.

Aside from the potential confusion caused by the above, it does sound like quite a few people aren't getting Spirit quest item drops from some of the bosses or spirit from consuming the items. If your experience and base Spirit totals don't match up with the above list it would be immensely helpful if you could post a screenshot of your current Maximum Spirit without items and which bosses you have cleared.

If there is an issue for people getting the expected Spirit beyond potential confusion we certainly want to resolve it.


"February, I’ve cleared all the Act 1 bosses, including Mist King Act 1 Normal -> 30 Spirit item. The item dropped, I used it, but I didn’t get the + Spirit. Screenshot below."
