CO-OP players be warned! Especially new Souls players!

[Valerie]

If you kill Godrick you'll no longer be able to do co-op on the Limegrave open area it seems... So be sure if you're dead set on playing coop, do everything in that area before moving to that boss..

This is apparently a feature in other Souls games as well. I never played a Souls game befoer this so I didn't know.. I feel like this feature should definitely be fixed.

Edit

I found out it didn't COMPLETELY lock me out of co-op in Limegrave, but it did lock me out of a large chunk I'm pretty sure. I'm still able to summon in a certain dungeon, but I wasn't able to summon all around the Dragon ruins which I'm sure extends to more. So keep that in mind. Thank you for everyone who corrected me.

well yea if you kill the boss of the area you cant coop there anymore since the goal of the summoned player is to kill the areas boss

It locks you out COMPLETELY from even free roam co-op. Which... seems dumb to me..

[phatsolew]

always been like that, since like i said coop is meant to help kill a boss, not particularly explore, since they other dude cant even loot ♥♥♥♥
personally wish it wasnt like that but it is what it is

Well… yeah…. Been that way since DS1…

Co-op in the open world is really, really lame anyway. It locks you into small chunks of the map and doesn't allow you to use your horse. It's much better to just do the open world exploration separately and summon for dungeons and bosses.

I was hoping my friend could help me kill a dragon.

Dark Souls 2 allows to summon other players even after defeating the area boss by using a different soapstone.
No one used that feature because the point of co-op is clearing an area and fighting the bosses and no one has any reason to stay on an already-finished area.

If only co op wasn't such trash. I look forward to a mod that enables it for the entire game none of this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ in the way.

I was unaware of the zone area thing... Or even that this would happened. I didn't even know I was at his castle... I was just exploring with friends helping me.

Same..

My friends don't mind helping me and seemed to enjoy playing with me as much as I did them. I didn't realize I was even at the zone boss castle I was just exploring with them and they didn't really seem to realize it would happen either.

I still have the whole nightmare area with the red sky to do... -And a full on dragon that I'm not sure how i'll manage.

A get good moment for me.

This is false. You can still coop.

I didn't go summoner/magic build. I have baby numbers on my magic. I'll do my darndest I guess, but man I'm not looking forward to red sky area... Those centipede people are terrifying.

I'd love to see a proper co-op mode added, like alot of open world rpg's I feel it would be fun to play through with a mate.
