Can't summon a second phantom

[ɴ ᴅ ᴠ]

I've been playing ahead for a while and a few of my friends started playing. I've been wanting to join them to help them but for some reason we can't summon a second phantom. It's just the 3 of us and we're all in the sunbros covenant with the same password. When one is summoned all summon signs just disappear.

Is this a bug or what? The knuckles didn't seem to help at all considering its just for allowing a third phantom.

You're too hollowed. If you hollow too much supposedly it can reduce your # of phantoms available. Or so I'm told, in any case. Could be false, but I don't know what else could be your issue.

It's kinda weird because I've never accepted the option to hollow from that guy. I started to wonder if it was bugged because I did look into it once without allocating a point. I just tried getting the one free level up and cured the dark sigil right away but I still can't summon a second player. I seriously start to wonder if the game has been bugged now.

I as well do not have the ability to summon 2 phantoms anymore and I've never done a hollowing

Wondering if its in areas that have black phantoms running around (NPC) and their being alive prevents another summon?

[The Old Song]

curing the sigil doesnt unhollow you, you need to use a purging stone or that statue in the sewer of the village. Curing the sigil just stops you from going hollow any further.

In any case like Phantom said maybe it's area specific or something

Neither Ndev nor myself have taken a SINGLE hollowing

we have 0 hollowing stat, as per his message and as per my game

Yet 1 summon limit exists

From my understanding, any locations in the "Road of Sacrifices" is limited to 1 phantom. I read that somewhere today. Sorry, I dont have the source.

I just checked the statue and it says I'm not cursed. The area after Road of Sacrifices is the one we're trying to co-op, no idea if that one has a 2 player limit. The bonfire before Abyss Watchers is also preventing us from playing with the 3 of us together. Makes me wonder if the game has phantom limits on some areas?

That's still Road of sacrifices, technically. All of Farrons keep is part of the road.

Well that's kinda... weird. Kind of a weird design decision if they went with that. I really hope that isn't the case.

It does. You can use the dried finger to get around it and also probably get hatemail from the guy who invades you in the process

When you go to travel between fires, if they're under the same tab, they're technically the same area. So you could actually summon ppl right infront of the Abyss Watchers and then go all the way up to the boss at the top of the upper swamp if you wanted.

Using the dried finger doesn't do anything for me. All it does is allow invaders to come like crazy. Not that I mind pvping in the meanwhile but it has absolutely no use for me.

That's odd. I've seen people summon me for Abyss Watchers, then use the dried finger to summon another person.

Well, seems like indeed Road of Sacrifice needs the knuckle in order to work. However the second player can only join if nobody is using a password. Kind of silly but oh well, if anyone else has this problem just remove the password and start using the dried finger or whatever to allow the second player to join.

that is where I was at last time I tried to summon
