Boss Loot on a double down

Had a feelsbad situation today. Working through Act 1 of Cruel, and got Count Geonor to a PIXEL.

Lightning spear flew, the Count was killed, and main objective updated. He also killed me just afterwards with an errant projectile. I decided to simply watch the cutscene play out with the Hooded One before clicking to resurrect at checkpoint.

Thanks to current implementation of drops and death, I lost 3 rares, 3 orbs. Resurrecting in town maintained the objective and when I returned to the arena the Count remained dead. If our sequence had been reversed I might be less bothered. With how currency starved I have felt since Dawn of the Hunt, losing the orbs stung even more than usual. Still, I plan to stick around for some time. For another play, could be a quit moment.
