Well played. I've given up on the NPC's. Lucatiel is straight up terrible and Benhart died earlier just as i threw the final lightning spear at the giant lord

There's a lot of that in this i find, never used happen in the first game.

My mate rented this and I started a new character to help him but we haven't been able to see each others summon signs at all, wish the criteria was more transparent.

now he's hollow with no effigies left and no idea what to do.

I found with a few of the bosses that seemed to bee-line for the world master, well if lucateil and benheart weren't there to clobber 1st, more than a few times I found myself running around with a boss giving chase while being attacked with near impunity by my summons

Yeah, finding NPC's a nightmare to work with. Try Red Eye Ring, draws enemies to you, because neither of them can defend themselves at all.

the only one who pulled his weight for me was Manscorpion Tark, the ring you get off him is class as well if you go talk to him after the boss fight

that's handy, we were both SL24 and 41000 soul memory though and nothing.

I tried that ring, lucatiel and benhart still seem dead set on running in head first and getting slaughtered by an aoe attack.
The pyromancy jester is absolute legend though, definitely the best boss fight summon

Big time, the controls aren't as tight either, and the hit detection can be all over the place, attacks you know you dodged or had a shield up for.

Is there a way of reducing the amount of time you get staggered for or is that gotten from Poise? I got hit with an arrow without blocking it earlier and it felt like i was standing there forever with my arms up, yet you get massive boss attack hits and you dont even flinch your energy just drops.

If you join the brotherhood of blood and use a white ring your red soapstone appears white. This should be fun :pac:

No way ???? Thats super sneaky , it surely will still say "dark spirit" has invaded though otherwise that would be a horrible troll. You would be swinging at phantoms like mimic chests otherwise.

Mickeroo

I take it Lost Sinner on NG+ is some sort of practical joke. Not seen summon signs all evening either yet I getsummoned within seconds when mine goes down.

I had the same problem there, and the two fat lads after the queens room in drangleic. those were the only areas not good for summons on NG+ for me.

I helped a guy kill the sinner and sent him a message and he was good enough to drop his sign 3 times while we got it to keep lucateil breathing.

Lucietel is buggered before the pyros even show up. Beat Lost Sinner there but she didn't make it, will wait for another NG playthrough to try for the achievements I think, NG+ is stressful enough as it is without babysitting

Sure why not

No balancing tweaks/nerfs yet.

Good to see you're guaranteed to be revived if you successfully co-op. Should help with those with no effigies.

Retr0gamer

Reviving after a successful co-op is very welcome. That broken ass ring is still there though, I though fixing that in co-op would fix the effegy economy so it could be patched out. Oh well.

ShadowHearth

Don't you need to be alive to get summoned for coop? Or you need to be alive only to summon people? You can still be summoned if you leave sign as hollow?

Retr0gamer

You can be summoned whether you are hollow or human. You need to be human to summon hollows.

Well, why the feck I learned about this only now... I did not knew that I can leave signs as hollow. In fairness, if you can get humanity back for a successful coop, then it should really help out to people with a lack of effigies.

Sure it's been like that sine Demon's Souls

It was weird before the patch that you'd just randomly be human after co-op even one where you did terrible and died.
