Would like some information on a rather odd "glitch" or maybe squads are doing something wrong.

Curious case, doesn't happen to alot of squads but sometimes when you start attacking the Century Golden Toad in Flowsilver and he throws an Axe, the axe disappears without spawning a white axe (the one you pick up). Thus not being able to kill this boss.

Was curious if it was because we were purifying the Earth DoT off too fast. So we actually waited long enough to let someone die. b:chuckle

Yet still no axe tho. I've had multi squads where this is happens but i've also had squads where its totally fine b:surrender

Im not sure how to duplicate the error/glitch. But play by play:

Barb runs in and pulls the boss to the Right side of the room.
Then Boss stuns and DoTs barb then throws an axe under him (because no one else was atking)
No Axe spawns.
Cleric Purifys.
Rest of squad comes in to DD.
Boss aoe stuns, then Dots a random person and drops axe under them.
No axe spawns and we wait.
Random DD dies, still no axe.
Squad waits on DDing now (no point with Shield axe on)
*Wash Rinse Repeat*

We tried multi options. Reseting boss 2 times by:
Running/porting away.
Committing honorable Suicide.

Nothing seemed to work on having the boss spawn axes.
Logic = Against ToS. It's the answer to all "Wtf..." Moments during normal gameplay with other players.

    It only happens if the boss is at full health. It's probably intended as a deterrent to farming a lot of axes at the start. You can still kill the axe though if you are fast enough (archers help).

    When the toad boss throws the axe at someone, you have to destroy the axe that it drops before you can pick it up. It has elemental damage immunity. You have to destroy that axe fast or it can disappear. From what you had described, it appeared everyone in your squad was too busy DD-ing the boss and not the axes?

    No. When the boss throws the axe he uses a skill. The animation for that skill shows an axe flying through the air. You can not attack the axe that flies through the air. The attack is also supposed to spawn a "Soul-Smasher Axe" mob. This mob is what drops the axes. Sometimes due to a glitch the soul-smasher axe mobs stop spawning. When they don't spawn you can not kill them and collect the axes.

    Look, it's intended by the devs to "make it look like" it's an axe being thrown from the boss ok? D: Its the same either way. I can say that it's not really a mob, cause it doesn't move or aggro - jsut a thing that has hp and can be targeted if you want to get technical.
