No drop from Colossal Ancients!

Hi guys, Just a warning, or perhaps I missed something in a patch notes - I just killed Colossal Ancients twice in a row, and the second time I didn’t even go back to town between kills. Not a single jewel dropped on either area completion. This was really frustrating, so please be careful. Perhaps somebody can share some knowledge on this?

AI answer:

Players encountering no drop from the Colossal Ancients in Diablo 2: Resurrected are likely experiencing a known bug where the guaranteed Colossal Jewel fails to spawn, often triggered by killing the final Ancient near map edges, pillars, or during specific portal interactions. While a hotfix in February 2026 addressed issues related to entering/exiting portals mid-fight, reports of the "Void drop" bug persist across multiple patches and platforms.

To mitigate this issue, players are advised to kill the final Ancient in the center of the arena away from obstacles and to create a password-protected private game. If the jewel fails to drop, the most common workaround is to exit the game and rejoin the same session, which allows you to restart the fight and potentially receive the drop on the subsequent attempt.

Man, that absolutely sucks but yeah, stay away from the edges toward the end of the fight. Should be pretty easy to do with only having one to tend to and make sure to make a private game in case you get rando-disconnected. Statues are not cheap or easy to come by

Colossal Ancients it's so unfinished

Still bugged after the patch. Colossal Jewel did not drop. Talic was killed near the center

I was planning to do a couple of Colossal Summit soon and was under the impression that this problem was fixed.
But today I saw that poor Schmuck had the same experience (HCL) and it "happened" not even at the edges of the map...



If I remember correctly this problem now lasts over two already published patches. Shame on Blizzard
In any case, I've definitely lost interest, and I'll probably be stuck with my stash of statues for a while longer...
