Purchase of Umbral Scouring

Many players on PS5 and Xbox have reported losing their Vigor stat after purchasing the Umbral Scouring item from the Molhu NPC from the Skyrest Bridge. Umbral Scouring is an upgrade material to level up your shields, armor, and more. There is no fix for the issue at hand, and if you find yourself losing Vigor after getting Umbral Scouring, refrain from buying the item unless the developers ship a patch addressing the problem.

Dropped Vigor

You can see a mismatch in your Vigor stats if you have not collected it from the ground after dying; visit your last death location to find your Visor experience on your old dead body. You can locate your body as it will appear with a shiny texture; if you cannot find it, you should be able to find an enemy nearby with a blue-shining aura around his character model, holding your Vigor experience. Defeat it and collect your Vigor to reinstate your original stats.

Sometimes, you may not find your old body or any nearby enemy holding Vigor. If you find yourself in this situation, try to restart the game to fix the issue.
