+30 Spirit not granted (King of the Mists, Gembloom Skull)

No +30 spirit drop for me that I can find after killing the King in the Mist (act 1) at least twice.
Same problem on my second character.

Somehow quest completed, but i still have only 30 spirit on my monk. Quest item didnt drop.
I've tried various tips from forum(start from hunting grounds ritual/ Didn't talk to Finn before killing King/check behind the tree thing/ etc)
Is my character bricked and i should start new one or there is an option to obtain +30 spirit?
I found the skull!

I had the same issue here. I was already in Act 2, when I noticed that I missed Freythorn completely. After completing it and killing the boss --- nothing. The tree is there and loot but no skull. I found this forum thread and was lost. So I tried again, starting at the Cemetry of the eternals (thought that I could reset the instance this way). But there is no entry into Feythorn (or is there). Via waypoint I entered the Hunting grounds. It was reset. I looked for the quest with Finn. Completed it but the answered made me suspicious. It was obvious that he knew that I did the quest before. Anyway I found the entrance (rather well hidden) to Freythorn. Killed the boss again.

------

The by accident, when walking around the tree, the skull popped up. That is the indication of an item on the ground. It popped only for a split second. I carefully moved my char (with controller) and there the skull popped up again. You have to find that single pixel. I could finally pick it up. YEAH!
I have the solution, I was so frustrated trying and trying, so s not a bug is right there in the altar, just move your character till you see the scull, because what happen is that is taking you to the altar menu but the scull is there just move little by little till you have the option to grab the green scull,
Hope will help you guys I was so excited when finally get my spirit gem.

Dear GGG,

I'm in Act 3 right now and noticed I'm missing 30 Spirit.
The Quest (Skull which mentions the +30 Spirit) for it in Act1 is greyed out and the King doesn't drop the Gembloom Skull.

Is there something I can do? Is my Char cooked?
Would be sad to leave PoE2 this early...

BR

First post here, just wanted to say thanks! I was able to pick up the skull as well once I found the correct position!
Just wanna report that this issue is ongoing and still unfixable. I’ve tried every fix in this thread and I cannot get the skull to show up on my screen. Unbelievably infuriating.
Same Problem!

I’ve cleared all the Act 1 bosses, including Mist King Act 1 Normal -> 30 Spirit item. The item dropped, I used it, but I didn’t get the + Spirit. Screenshot below

Level 92 and just found out I’m missing the 30 spirit and the stupid king won’t drop it! I’m so incredibly pissed and none of these tips in the forum helps and to know this has been a problem for this long and still no fix?!?!?!
