So I fought the Guardian and yes he fell on top of the actual round mithril holder in the center but you can still access it's door and you can still fully access the mould apparatus and it's stick *but* the stick says it is stuck. Someone mentioned they were able to find their item on the floor after a reload and the mould was open upon reload but upon reload that was not true for me. The stick is still stuck and the mould door is completely closed. Any ideas?
Just to re-confirm.... the guardian *is* completely out of the way. He is laying on top of the mound but not in the way at all.
