Tentative Animus Purge + Ruined Dungeon Bug Post

[orange<]

While in Ruined Dungeon as a Necromancer, I cast Animus Purge on one of the Rares.
I later replaced this husk by casting Animus Purge on a more powerful Rare.

When the second Husk died I got the lore pop-up informing me that another orb was active.

One of the orbs is still inactive.
I've dug out the dungeon, giving me sight of every wall, to make sure there is no other Guardian.

I'm wondering if destroying a Husk through using Animus Purge doesn't result in the desired "on death" trigger.

I may be mistaken, hence tentative post. Perhaps another bug is at work, or perhaps something is still hiding in the dug out wastes that was once ruined dungeon.

I am playing 1.1.5 and have the missing guardian bug. I have tried deleting the zone file in my saves folder, thereby resetting the ruined dungeons zone, to no avail. I have searched long for a solution to this problem.

Poking through the log file, I noticed that 5 of the guardians seem to all have a loaded tile and talents added to them, but the last one consistently is just a name, but no stats:

Not sure what this means, except maybe the guardian is being named but not properly loaded.

[Mewtarthio]

Using Animus Purge to dispose of a husk won't trigger its on_death functions, because it calls "disappear" instead of "die."

[The Revanchist]

Now, what if you physically kill the Husk, say, by casting Chill of the Tomb or another heavy-hitting attack? Or just let it walk into a room full of enemies?

Not a fix, I know, but would it work?
