just finished ng+ without summoning and did not get it... hope they fix this soon...

You must do it in NG, not NG+. If you summon once in NG you have no right to earn it. The fact that you summoned carries over to NG+. Summoning in any soulslike is one way of ruining the inetended experience. Dont know why anyone would ever do that.

It happens most likely to someone like me, who never played souls before. I tested the summon when it first got introduced to the game and figured how useless it is so I stopped using it after beating Viper. then decided to use it on multiple elite last missions, like those trash mobs in a room.

I'd like to have a save with this achievement obtainable.

I hope they do fix it. but i have a suspicion (that I hope is wrong) that they won't. There's a chance that their rationale is that because ng+ is easier than the first playthrough. there's less likelihood you'd need to use the helper, so it's less of an achievement. That being said, it's pretty sh*t that people get locked out of 100% for summoning it one time in their first playthrough because they assumed there would be an achievment FOR summoning it once.

It still doesn't really make sense though... NG+ is much harder compared to NG, but because you already know the bosses, it becomes easier because you don't have to spend long time to learn their moves, but all you have to do is just master what you learned.

In my opinion, all the achievements should be obtainable even in NG+.

Did you play the demo? If you summoned there and use that same save, it also wont unlock the achievement.

that sucks, I just tested it once on my 1st playthrough, as I like the feeling of soloing bosses, very tiring to finish the game 3rd time though but I guess its nice to try a different weapon this time :D

That piss me off so bad, I thought there would be an achievement for SUMMONING it heck you had one for summoning the red one how does summoning the yellow one locks you out of an achievement for good??

but I saw this on reddit, I think they are aware and is going to fix it later this month:

”Thank you for patiently waiting for our response. First of all, we’re really sorry for the inconvenience. Our Dev Team run multiple tests to make sure all achievements work properly across all platforms, but we’ve received reports that some achievements occasionally don’t unlock on certain platforms. Rest assured that we’re currently working on fixing this issue. We truly apologize for the trouble this has caused.

Furthermore, we would like to inform you that when the patch related to the ’Standing Alone’ achievement goes live, we’ll reset the history of Soul Assist summons. From that point on, if you complete the game without summoning any spirits, you’ll be able to earn the achievement.

Now, for those who have already cleared up to NG++ (New Game Plus Plus), don’t worry — you’ll still be able to earn the achievement. All you’ll need to do is defeat the final boss again (we won’t mention the name here to avoid spoilers — thank you for understanding), and the achievement will be granted.

After that, even if you didn’t meet the condition in your first playthrough, as long as you don’t summon in NG+, the achievement will unlock when you reach the ending.

We hope this clarifies your concern and thank you for your kind understading regarding this.

Should you have other issues or concerns, please feel free to contact us again.

Where did they say that? Is it an official statement?

If I read it correctely I should be able to beat the game summoning everyone, stop at the final boss, and then just wait for the patch drop to have the counter reset to zero, beat the final boss and get the achievements… right? lol

Clever and it might work, but as for me i will wait for the fix and the conditions like "start at the beginning of the game" lol

I just want to analyze that phrase "Furthermore, we would like to inform you that when the patch related to the ’Standing Alone’ achievement goes live, we’ll reset the history of Soul Assist summons. From that point on, if you complete the game without summoning any spirits, you’ll be able to earn the achievement.".

To me it should be like I said because many ppl have started a NG+ and are just waiting for the patch to drop in order to get the achievement during that run. If it is needed to "fresh start" in order to have the counter reset it will be pointless for a lot of players since you can just start a NG in easy mode with the same result.

I think they will just reset it for everyone (or at least those who are already in NG+) and from that point on every other summon will count.

I think we'll just have to wait.

I wonder how soon they will drop it tho.

I don't think it's broken.

NG+ is so absurdly easy the summons are irrelevant. Giving you the achievement for not summoning in NG+ would basically be letting you cheat.
