I wonder how many players skip looting the one in Latria because of how Bluepoint completely botched the ledge drop in the remake. In the original all you needed was to very carefully drop straight down and you’re good but this isn’t possible in the remake your character magically shoots forward to their death and instead the only way to land it seems to be rolling along the edge until you fall off which is just ridiculous.

Really and game weapon, yet it's one of the best straight swords and its requirement is almost nothing.
This drop is genuinely impossible. I've tried all the tricks in the comments and none of it works. What a joke.
