Summons+NPC Summons

[CoLd]

Hello there...so after a looooong pause...
(started game when it released and stopped in middle of it because of other things)

i decided to give it another go +dlc, long story short..
my question is:

are there even any summons and/or npc summons in the game now?

i remember player summons were a mess back then because of either it was really hard to get one because of disconnects or other people being a tick faster....so ultimately i gave up and only played by myself and npc summons were always there to use tho i decided against it back then.

now after playing through the whole maps + all bosses on each map in the ranni and fia questline up to the last part (big red guy with big sword-not a boss i know) i have not seen a single summon not even the npc summons and yes i also used the item multiple times to show summons.

I have never used any mods or cheats and as mentioned above, ultimately i never got to play with players either before...to answer that question beforehand.

The multiplayer settings or set correctly as well

Do i miss something?, is it just me?, is it normal now?, if by chance someone has/had this and fixed it can you tell me how?


im so confused

NPC summons show up for specific bosses, some are only available after doing a questline. You don't need to use any item to see their signs as they are available offline. Rogier for Margit and Melina for Morgott are summons that are always available, for other bosses you need to make sure you didn't kill NPC before or progress NPC questline before attempting fighting a boss.

For the player summons, you need to have reasonable level and weapon level combination and no multiplayer password set up. And use the furlcalling finger remedy.

thank you for the answer...

so i asumme my level is just to low compared to the standards nowadays?
im around lvl 70 i believe with a +14 or 15 katana

didnt know that level thing existed, thats good to know..

also thought every boss would have a npc summon..this makes sense now..i guess those areas i did yesterday simply dont have those then...also good to know...

by chance...i was thinking about using a map mod for my next playthrough once im done with this one, not using anything yet, do you happen to know if that would lock me from doing online stuff then?

Lvl 70 and +15 weapon sounds reasonable, although you should look for the signs at the summoning pools(statues that look like crucified person). Make sure to not have any multiplayer password. Password lifts the level restrictions but allows summoning only players who use the same password as you.
Any mods need to be run with EAC disabled aka offline, running game with a mod and with EAC running will result in a ban, will flag your savefile and will force you to delete all characters to be able to play online again after 180 days penalty.

okay good to know, im glad i deciced to wait with using mods for second playthrough, could have ended bad otherwise then :D

i know about the password and statues, never had to use password tho since i have no friends playing games like these.

anyway, huge thanks for the help
