When most NPCs die, they leave behind a tombstone that you can resurrect them at.
See if she left one in Hiedes, or at the switch.

Since she died by accident, there's gotta be one somewhere.
edit: Her tombstone should be at the Rotunda switch.
You might need to absolve Sin for "killing" her before it shows.

And this accident that happened to you obviously wasn't a design choice, so it has nothing to do with them trying to make the game difficult for you.

I think you're boned Trannigan... it's definitely a design flaw that important items don't show up when an NPC or enemy falls off a cliff etc. Same thing happened to me with sublime bone dust, but that I could continue on without issue. if you can't get the miracle to move the pillar you can't access huntsman's copse and all areas afterwards.

I don't know why they changed the way it worked from DkS1. How many thousands of times was the invisible ninja or Lautrec booted off a cliff alone with this mechanic of getting items?

If there is a tombstone it would be in the area she died, not where she would move to after dialogue is exhausted. no need to absolve beforehand for a tombstone to appear unless she's different than other killed NPCs.

Keep in mind that those mechanics were patched into DkS 1. Many a soul lost items for the whole playthrough at launch in that game as well. I lost the Moonlight Greatsword (Chopping it off again did not yield another MLGS) and several other NPC items that way. Solaire and I duo killed each other in my first playthrough when I accidentally slipped and pressed a button and hit him (which I never finished as unfortunately I got distracted by Skyrim's release) and I lost all his items. I never found the white soapstone till way later in that chest back in Firelink.
Thoughts on what the...

Can't wait for the nerfs although I think it should only be for NG+ and not NG for the bosses. Lost Giant is not that hard at all, bigger problem is keeping the summon alive.

I think I'm going to restart and retire my 1st file, Rotten got me so angry when he 2 shoted me that I just said [censored] it. I'll keep the file around if I change my mind. I have no idea what build I'm going to use. I'll probably go with Deprived or Swordsman. I got till Friday to decide.

Also From getting rid of the SV in Cale's house is lame. I tried using a Bonfire asethic and it didn't respawn the item. The other stuff respawned though.

How is on NG+?
