Looking Glass Knight Summon Range

[reBefouler]

I have got 1262379 sm (NG), Is that ok for LGK ?

Now with agape ring, these things hardly matter... But ideally, it's a decent SM to be in at that stage for a normal playthrough...

I cant get summoned for 2 days, but when i place white soapstone someone summon me to help :(

To do this, place a Red Sign Soapstone anywhere in the castle in one of the areas around the 2 last bonfires and in time you will be summoned. You are more likely to be summoned if you replace your sign every ten seconds or so, rather than leaving it alone on the ground. This also minimizes your chances of being summoned by a player. You don't have to place it in King's Passage.
Tested thoroughly, you don't need to be near a mirror or in any specific area. Replacing your sign ever 5 to 10 seconds works great, all my summons were within the first 5 seconds.


It is also possible to get summoned by the Looking Glass Knight by using a cracked red eye orb.

When you get summoned : you get the time to see 2 loading screens (usually just 1 for normal invasions), during this time you can't do or see anything (that's a pretty big problem) but you can hear the sounds of the invaded world, try to use this information to count them (as it can be a player alone, but it can also be a player and 2 experienced phantoms helping him, etc.), and to know if there are any spell spammers (that will most likely rush you down with soul spears / sunlight spears / resonant souls).

You get spawned shortly after the end of the summoning sound the boss makes, at that time you can finally see around you, but your invincibility also ended, so start by running and/or rolling to give you some time to analyze the situation.

If 2-3 of them are trying to kill you, try to gain time and to use the boss to deflect projectiles (he does have a nice shield, don't forget !), while you focus on dodging everything. Eventually they'll miss a dodge and the boss will do massive damage to them, OR you could even live long enough to see another friend summoned by the boss ! Or they lose patience with you and you strike back.


From the invaded player point of view : he and his phantoms get a special message like "Crown 0f Thorns mirror squire is summoned" only if a REAL player is on the way to get summoned. So he already knows you are a real player, and you should, as an invader, expect him and his allies to rush you down.

practically any sm over 500k is good people are always going into ng+ and beyond so you can be matched with them too.... I dont actually think there is a range, although as a rule probably the lower the better, Take warmth or some form of heal and dont forget to heal up your buddy <3
